Bias Ratio (
BR
) is defined as the ratio between
V
LCD
and V
BIAS
, i.e.
BR = V

/V
BIAS
,
where V

is set to be 10~15% lower than the optimum value
calculated above in order to lower V
LCD
by 5~6%.
Such setting generally will not cause visible change
in image quality.

ENERATION
V
LCD
may be supplied either by internal charge
pump or by external power supply. The source of
V
LCD
is controlled by PC[2:1]. For good product
performance it is recommended to keep V
LCD
under
13V at room temperature.
When V
LCD
is generated internally, the voltage level
of V
LCD
is determined by four control registers:
BR
(Bias Ratio),
GN
(Gain),
PM
(Potentiometer), and
TC (Temperature Compensation), with the
following relationship:

The power supply circuit of UC1608 is designed to
handle LCD panels with load capacitance up to
~20nF when V
DD2
= 2.5V. For larger LCD panels
use higher V
DD
and COF packaging.
