µPD160081
384-OUTPUT TFT-LCD SOURCE DRIVER
(COMPATIBLE WITH 64-GRAY SCALES)
DESCRIPTION
The µ PD160081 is a source driver for TFT-LCDs capable of dealing with displays with 64-gray scales. Data input is
based on digital input configured as 6 bits by 3 dots (1 pixel) with double clock edge, which can realize a full-color
display of 260,000 colors by output of 64 values γ -corrected by an internal D/A converter and 7-by-2 external power
modules. Because the output dynamic range is as large as VSS2 + 0.1 V to VDD2 – 0.1 V, level inversion operation of the
LCD’s common electrode is rendered unnecessary. Also, to be able to deal with dot-line inversion, n-line inversion and
column line inversion when mounted on a single side, this source driver is equipped with a built-in 6-bit D/A converter
circuit whose odd output pins and even output pins respectively output gray scale voltages of differing polarity. Assuring
a clock frequency of 83 MHz when driving at 3.0 V, this driver is applicable to XGA-standard (1024 x 768), SXGA-
standard (1280 x 1024) TFT-LCD panels.
FEATURES
• RSDSTM (Reduced Swing Differential Signaling) interface
• 384 outputs
• Input of 6 bits (gradation data) by 3 dots with double clock edge sampling
• Capable of outputting 64 values by means of 7-by-2 external power modules (14 units) and a D/A converter
• Logic power supply voltage (VDD1): 2.7 to 3.6 V
• Driver power supply voltage (VDD2): 10.0 to 12.5 V
• Output dynamic range: VSS2 + 0.1 V to VDD2 – 0.1 V
• High-speed data transfer: fCLK = 83MHz MAX. (Internal data transfer speed when operating at VDD1 = 3.0 V)
• Apply for dot-line inversion, n-line inversion and column line inversion
• Output Voltage polarity inversion function (POL)
• Input data inversion function (INV)
