BUF22821
SBOS399–JUNE 2007
Programmable Gamma-Voltage Generator and
VCOM Calibrator with Integrated Two-Bank Memory
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
24-CHANNEL GAMMA
The BUF22821 offers 22 programmable gamma
channels, two programmable VCOM channels, and
two static gamma channels. It is ideal for the new
10-bit source drivers that require 22 gamma
channels.

10-BIT RESOLUTION
The final gamma and VCOM values can be stored in
the on-chip, nonvolatile memory. To allow for
programming errors or liquid crystal display (LCD)
panel rework, the BUF22821 supports up to 16 write
operations to the on-chip memory. The BUF22821
has two separate banks of memory, allowing
simultaneous storage of two different gamma curves
to facilitate switching between gamma curves.
16x REWRITABLE NONVOLATILE MEMORY
TWO INDEPENDENT MEMORY BANKS
RAIL-TO-RAIL OUTPUT
LOW SUPPLY CURRENT: 0.5mA/channel
SUPPLY VOLTAGE: 9V to 20V
DIGITAL SUPPLY: 2V to 5.5V
I2C™ INTERFACE
All gamma and VCOM channels offer a rail-to-rail
output that typically swings to within 100mV of either
supply rail with a 10mA load. All channels are
programmed using an I2C interface that supports
standard operations up to 400kHz and high-speed
data transfers up to 3.4MHz.

The BUF22821 is manufactured using Texas
Instruments’ proprietary, state-of-the-art, high-voltage
CMOS process. This process offers very dense logic
and high supply voltage operation of up to 20V. The
BUF22821 is offered in a HTSSOP-38 PowerPAD™
package. It is specified from –40°C to +85°C.
