10-Bit Programmable Gamma Reference
System with MTP for TFT LCDs
MAX69
General Description
Features
The MAX9669 outputs 16 voltage references for gamma
correction in TFT LCDs and one voltage reference for
VCOM. Each gamma reference voltage has its own 10-
bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and buffer to
ensure a stable voltage. The VCOM reference voltage
has its own 10-bit DAC and an amplifier to ensure a sta-
ble voltage when critical levels and patterns are dis-
played. The MAX9669 features integrated multiple-time
programmable (MTP) memory to store gamma and
VCOM values on the chip, eliminating the need for exter-
nal EEPROM. The MAX9669 supports up to 100 write
operations to the on-chip nonvolatile memory.

The gamma outputs can drive 200mA peak transient
current and settle within 1µs. The VCOM output can
provide 600mA peak transient current and also settles
within 1µs. The analog supply voltage range extends
from 9V to 20V, and the digital supply voltage range
extends from 2.7V to 3.6V.
