Functional Description
(Continued)
the effect of redistributing the charge stored in the capaci-
tance of the panel columns. Since half the columns are at
voltages more positive than V
and half are more nega-
tive, this redistribution of charge or “charge-sharing” has the
effect of pulling all of the columns to a neutral voltage near
the middle of the driver’s dynamic range. Thus, the voltages
on all the columns are driven approximately halfway toward
their next value with no power expended. This dramatically
reduces panel power dissipation (up to a theoretical limit of
50%) compared to conventional drivers which must drive
each column through the entire voltage swing every time
polarity is reversed.
PIN DESCRIPTIONS
The pin order configuration for the FPD03784 is shown in fig.
3. Optional pins do not need to be carried off a custom TCP
or COP package but may require a connection to a neigh-
boring pad on the die by a tie on the tape. The following
paragraphs describe the function of the FPD03784 pins.
CSTIME
—CHARGE SHARE TIME (INPUT)
The input controls how long the outputs are in charge share
mode following each LOAD signal. The CSTIME input from
all of the column drivers should be tied together and con-
nected to VSS1 through a parallel combination of RC. The
charge time is determined by the equation:
T
charge share
= 0.69 RC
A typical capacitance of 100pF should be chosen to swamp
parasitic board and I/O pin effects. See Figure 1
CLK
—DATA CLOCK (INPUT)
Clock input for data on Dx[0:5].
DX[5:0]
—DATA BUS (INPUT)
DA[5:0] — Data Input Pins for OUTPUTS 1, 7...379
DB[5:0] — Data Input Pins for OUTPUTS 2, 8...380
DC[5:0] —Data Input Pins for OUTPUTS 3, 9...381
DD[5:0] — Data Input Pins for OUTPUTS 4, 10...382
DE[5:0] — Data Input Pins for OUTPUTS 5, 11...383
DF[5:0] —Data Input Pins for OUTPUTS 6, 12...384
ENIO1/ENIO2
—DATA LOADING ENABLE 1 AND 2 (I/O)
If UP = H, then the ENIO1 pin is configured as an input and
the ENIO2 pin is configured as an output. If UP = L, then the
ENIO2 pin is configured as an input and the ENIO1 pin is
configured as an output.
INVTABC
—DIGITAL DATA INVERT (INPUT)
When INVERT = L, input data from DA[0:5], DB[0:5] and
DC[0:5] is inverted. The INVTABC pin can be tied to
INVTDEF on the TCP to form a single INVERT pin, or
operated independently from each other.
INVTDEF
—DIGITAL DATA INVERT (INPUT)
When INVERT = H, input data from DD[0:5], DE[0:5] and
DF[0:5] is inverted. The INVTABC pin can be tied to
INVTDEF on the TCP to form a single INVERT pin, or
operated independently from each other.
I
—
REF
ERENCE CURRENT FOR OUTPUT DRIVE
(INPUT)
The I
input allows the designer to set the maximum
output drive current (I
) of the FPD03784 suitable for the
column line, RC network load. Current flow out of the I
pin is used to set the rise and fall slew rate of the output
waveform. This current is supplied through an external re-
sistor (R
) tied between the I
pin (held by the
FPD03784 at V
DD1
) and V
SS1
. Each driver IC must have a
separate R
IREF
resistor (see Figure 1).
I
SIN
—CURRENT SOURCE INPUT (INPUT)
The I
SIN
current controls the bandwidth and settling perfor-
mance of the FPD03784 output-stage amplifiers. Increasing
I
increases the amplifier bandwidth and reduces settling
time but also increases power consumption. Normally, I
is
set to 40μA, which provides a good balance between power
consumption and amplifier bandwidth. The flexibility to adjust
I
accommodates very fast rise times (I
>
40μA) or
applications where low power is of extreme interest (I
SIN
<
40μA).
The I
current is supplied through an external resistor
(R
) connected between the I
SIN
pin and V
DD2
. R
ISIN
can
be computed as follows:
(I
SIN
normally = 40μA)
One resistor (R
) is needed for the entire display. This
resistor is connected to the I
input of the first driver, and
the current going into this pin is copied to the I
output
pin for cascading to the next driver. See Figure 1 Note that
I
HBIAS
varies linearly with I
SIN
.
I
SOUT
—CURRENT
S
OURCE
O
UTPUT (OUTPUT)
This output pin supplies the I
current to the I
SIN
input pin
of the next driver in the row (see Figure 1). The I
pin of
the last driver should be left floating. Optionally, this pin can
be left floating on each driver if the designer wishes to
provide a separate I
source to each driver. While this
adds resistor component count, it reduces input lead count.
LOAD
—DATA
LOAD
(INPUT)
The falling edge of LOAD copies the digital video buffered by
the shift register into a second latch beginning the D to A
conversion. Immediately following the fall of LOAD, the out-
puts are forced into charge share mode for the time set by
the CSTIME input. The outputs then drive the D to A con-
verted voltages following the CSTIME.
POL
—
POL
ARITY (INPUT)
When POL = L, odd numbered outputs (1, 3, 5, ...383) are
controlled by VGMA7 through VGMA12 and even numbered
outputs are controlled by VGMA1 through VGMA6. When
POL = H, odd numbered outputs are controlled by VGMA1
through VGMA6 and even numbered outputs are controlled
by VGMA7 through VGMA12.
SINGLE
—
SINGLE
/DUAL-EDGE CLOCK ENABLE (IN-
PUT)
This pin controls single/dual-edge clocking. When SINGLE is
high, single-edge clocking is enabled, and input data is
latched only on the falling edge of CLK. When SINGLE is
low, dual-edge clocking is enabled, and input data is latched
on both the rising and falling edges of CLK.
Optional — The SINGLE die pad is bounded on each side
by a logic High and a logic Low pad. This allows the state of
SINGLE to be chosen on the TCP to eliminate an input pin.
UP
—DATA SHIFT DIRECTION—
UP
OR DOWN (INPUT)
The UP pin controls the data shift direction. If UP is high then
data is shifted “up” from output 1 to output 384, ENIO1 is
configured as an input, and ENIO2 is an output. If UP is low
then data is shifted “down” from output 384 to output 1,
ENIO2 is an input, and ENIO1 is an output.
