GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADD8702 is a low cost, mask programmable, 12-channel
gamma reference generator, plus an adjustable V
COM
driver. This
part is designed to provide gamma correction for high resolution
TFT LCD panels. The 12 gamma reference levels and V
COM
are
mask programmable to 0.3% resolution using the on-chip 500
chain resistor string. This reduces component and board costs.
The ADD8702 provides a complete programmed set of gamma
voltage references for the LCD source drivers. These references
settle quickly to load change. The V
COM
output is stable with
high capacitive loads and can source or sink 250 mA peak cur-
rent. The V
COM
output level can be adjusted using an external
trim-potentiometer or discrete resistors.
The output pins are compatible with the ADD8701. This allows
for single board design and fast turns for prototyping using the
initial ADD8701 board design.
The ADD8702 is specified over the temperature range of –40
°
C
to +85
°
C and comes in the 32-lead lead frame chip scale pack-
age (LFCSP) for compact board space.
