MXED202
128-Channel OLED Row Driver
Preliminary
FEATURES:
OVERVIEW:
• For all Passive-Matrix Organic Light Emitting
Diode (OLED) Displays
• Monochome and Color
Clare Micronix’s MXED202 is a row-multiplexed
display driver for OLED panel displays. The
MXED202 directly supports up to 128-row OLED
panel displays, or can be cascaded for controlling
additional rows. The MXED202’s low “on” switch
resistance ensures uniform luminance at rapid row
scan rates. This is the first production row driver
for OLED display OEM’s, enabling the development
and production of this new standard in flat-panel
display technology.

OLED Column Drivers
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:
MXED102 or similar column driver, or a controller.
In “normal mode” (single token), the token may be
entered at either end of the MXED202 row shift
register (SRIN or SLIN), depending on the shift di-
rection selection control “Shift Right” (SHR). The
token bit is shifted one row (one channel) per clock
cycle (CLK), during which time only one row maxi-
mum is active at a time. In “dual mode” (DUAL),
the token bit is entered at one end and automati-
cally in the center, and again the token bits may be
selectively shifted left or right at the CLK rate; dur-
ing which time only two rows maximum are active
at a time. The MXED202 may be used for either
128- or 120-row display panels. When the “Select
128” (S128) control input is low, the MXED202 is
set for 120 outputs. When S128 is low, Rows 4
through 123 must be used. (Note: A lesser num-
The MXED202 is capable of sinking current for up
to 128 rows (LED cathodes) of an OLED display.
One or two outputs may be active at a time. For
displays requiring more than 150mA sink current
per row, multiple MXED202’s may be placed in
parallel.
Device settings, such as token direction, number
of active rows, dual or single-token mode, and oth-
ers, are set by dedicated input pins.
Figure 1 is a block diagram of the MXED202. Each
row output has two possible sources: ground, to
turn the LED on, and VOH (Voltage Output High) to
turn the LED off. To begin a scan of the rows, the
user inputs a token bit so that it is high at the rising
edge of CLK, which is typically provided by the
