DESCRIPTION
The BUF20800 is a programmable voltage reference
generator designed for gamma correction in TFT-LCD
panels. It provides 18 programmable outputs for gamma
correction and two channels for VCOM adjustment, each
with 10-bit resolution.
INDUSTRY-STANDARD, TWO-WIRE
INTERFACE:
3.4MHz High-Speed Mode

HIGH ESD RATING:
4kV HBM, 1kV CDM, 200V MM
This programmability replaces the traditional, time-
consuming process of changing resistor values to optimize
the various gamma voltages and allows designers to
determine the correct gamma voltages for a panel very
quickly. Required changes can also be easily implemented
without hardware changes.

VCOM OUT1
The BUF20800 uses TI’s latest, small-geometry analog
CMOS process, which makes it a very competitive choice
for full production, not just evaluation.
Programming of each output occurs through an industry-
standard, two-wire serial interface. Unlike existing
programmable buffers, the BUF20800 offers a high-speed
mode that allows clock speeds up to 3.4MHz.
