ISL45042 ® Data Sheet August 29, 2007 FN6072.7 LCD Module Calibrator Features The VCOM voltage of an LCD panel needs to be adjusted to remove flicker. The ISL45042 can be used to digitally adjust a panel’s VCOM voltage by controlling its output sink current. The output of the ISL45042 is connected to an external voltage divider and an external VCOM buffer amplifier. In this application, the user can control the VCOM voltage with 7-Bit accuracy (128 steps). Once the desired VCOM setting is obtained, the settings can be stored in the non-volatile EEPROM memory, which would then be automatically recalled during every power-up. • 128-Step Adjustable Sink Current Output The VCOM adjustment and non-volatile memory programming is through a single interface pin (CTL). Once the desired programmed value is obtained, the Counter Enable pin (CE) can be used to prevent further adjustment or programming. The full-scale sink current of the ISL45042 is set using an external resister connected to the SET pin. The full-scale sink current determines the lowest voltage of the external voltage divider. The ISL45042 is available in an 8 Ld 3mmx3mm TDFN package with a maximum thickness of 0.8mm for ultra thin LCD panel design.

ISL45042 Pin Descriptions PIN FUNCTION OUT Adjustable Sink Current Output Pin. The current sinks into the OUT pin is equal to the DAC setting times the maximum adjustable sink current divided by 128. See SET pin function description for the maximum adjustable sink current setting. AVDD High-Voltage Analog Supply. Connects to top of external resistor divider to determine the VCOM voltage. Typically 10V to 20V. Bypass to GND with 0.1µF de-coupling capacitor. N/C No Connect. Not internally connected. GND Ground connection. VDD ISL45042 power supply input. Bypass to GND with 0.1µF de-coupling capacitor. CTL Internal Counter Up/Down Control and Internal EEPROM Programming Control Input. If CE is high, a mid-to-low transition increments the 7-Bit counter, raising the DAC setting, increasing the OUT sink current, and lowering the divider voltage at OUT. A mid-to-high transition decrements the 7-Bit counter, lowering the DAC setting, decreasing the OUT sink current, and increasing the divider voltage at OUT. Applying 4.9V and above with appropriately arranged timing will overwrite EEPROM with the contents in the 7-Bit counter. See EEPROM Programming section for details. CE Counter Enable Pin. Connect CE to VDD to enable adjustment of the output sink current. Float or connect CE to GND to prevent further adjustment or programming (Note: the CE pin has an internal pull-down resistor). SET Maximum Sink Current Adjustment Point. Connect a resistor from the SET pin to GND to set the maximum adjustable sink current of the OUT pin. The maximum adjustable sink current is equal to (AVDD/20) divided by RSET.

Application Information AVDD The application circuit to adjust the VCOM voltage in an LCD panel is shown in Figure 1. The ISL45042 has a 128-step sink current resolution. The output is connected to an external voltage divider that results in decreasing the output VCOM voltage as you increase the ISL45042 sink current. AVDD ISL45042 CTL CE OUT SET ISINK R1 R2 RSET CTL Pin VCOM BLUE GREEN RED + - COLUMN DRIVER SINGLE PIXEL IN LCD PANEL FIGURE 1. VCOM ADJUSTMENT IN AN LCD PANEL 4 The adjustment of the output VCOM voltage and the programming of the non-volatile memory are provided through a single pin called CTL when the CE pin is high. The output VCOM voltage is increased with a mid (VDD/2) to high transition (0.8*VDD) on the CTL pin. The output VCOM voltage is decreased with a mid (VDD/2) to low transition (0.3*VDD) on the CTL pin (Reference Figure 7). Once the minimum or maximum value is reached on the 128 steps, the device will not overflow or underflow beyond that minimum or maximum value. Programming of the non-volatile memory occurs when the CTL pin exceeds 4.9V. The CTL signal needs to remain above 4.9V for more than 200µs. The level and timing needed to program the non-volatile memory is given in FN6072.7 August 29, 2007 ISL45042 Figure 2. It then takes a maximum of 100ms for the programming to be completed inside the device. CTL VOLTAGE To avoid unintentional adjustment, the ISL45042 guarantees to reject CTL pulses shorter than 20µs. During Initial Power-up (only), to avoid the possibility of a false pulse (since the internal comparators come up in an unknown state), the very first CTL pulse is ignored. See Figure 7 for the timing information. >200µs 4.9V CE Pin CTLPT TIME FIGURE 2. EEPROM PROGRAMMING When the part is programmed, the counter setting is loaded into the non-volatile memory. This value will be loaded from the nonvolatile memory during initial power-up or when the CE pin is pulled low. Once the programming is completed, it is recommended that the user float the CLT pin. The CTL pin is internally tied to a resistor network connected to ground. If left floating, the voltage at the CTL pin will equal VDD/2. Under these conditions, no additional pulses will be seen by the Up/Down counter via the CTL pin. To prevent further programming, ground the CE pin. CTL should have a noise filter to reduce bouncing or noise on the input that could cause unwanted counting when the CE pin is high. The board should have an additional ESD protection circuit, with a series 1kΩ resistor and a shunt 0.01µF capacitor connected on the CTL pin. (See Figure 3) ISL45042 1kΩ CTL To adjust the output voltage, the CE pin must be pulled high (VDD). The CE pin has an internal pull-down resistor to prevent unwanted reprogramming of the EEPROM. The impedance of this resistor is 400kΩ to 500kΩ (RINTERNAL Figure 6). Transitions of the CE pin are recommended to be less than 10µs. Replacing Existing Mechanical Potentiometer Circuits Figure 4 shows the common adjustment mechanical circuits and equivalent replacement with the ISL45042. Expected Output Voltage The ISL45042 provides an output sink current, which lowers the voltage on the external voltage divider (VCOM output voltage). Equation 1 and Equation 2 can be used to calculate the output current (IOUT) and output voltage (VOUT) values.

Check that the output value is the one programmed in Step 4. Generating VDD and CE supply from a Larger Voltage Source The external RSET resistor sets the full-scale sink current that determines the lowest voltage of the external voltage divider R1 and R2 (Figure 1). The voltage difference between the VOUT pin and ISET pin (Figure 5) has to be greater than 1.75V. This will keep the output MOS transistor in the saturation region. Expected current settings and 7-Bit accuracy occurs when the output MOS transistor is operating in the saturation region. Figure 5 shows the internal connection for the output MOS transistor. The value of the AVDD supply sets the voltage at the source of the output transistor. This voltage is equal to (Setting/128) x (AVDD/20). The ISET current is therefore equal to (Setting/128) x (AVDD/20 x RSET). The value of the Drain voltage is found using Equation 2. The values of R1 and R2 (Equation 2) should be determined (setting equal to 128) so the minimum value of VOUT is greater than 1.75V + AVDD/20. VOUT PIN AVDD = 15V R1 AVDD VSAT 0.5V RSET The following sequence can be used to verify the programmed value without having to sequence the VDD supply. To verify the programmed value, follow the steps below. The ISL45042 will read memory contents and be set to that value when the CE pin is grounded. 1. Power-up the ISL45042. RSET Resistor AV SETTING DD ----------------------------x -----------------128 20 Verifying the Programmed Value The CE pin has an internal pull-down resistor (RINTERNAL Figure 6). The impedance of this resistor is 400kΩ to 500kΩ. If your design is using a resistor divider network to generate the 3.3V supply (for both VDD and CE to enable programming) from a larger voltage source, the 400kΩ (worst case) resistor needs to be taken into account as a parallel resistance when the CE pin is connected to this source. Another design concern is to be able to provide enough supply current during programming. The ISL45042 draws about 2mA during this process. Recommended resistor values are shown in Figure 6. This design will result in an additional 0.83mA quiescent current flowing through resistors RA and RB. VCC = 5V RA 2kΩ VCE CE ISL45042 CE LOGIC RB 4kΩ RINTERNAL = 400kΩ to 500kΩ R2 FIGURE 6.

OUTPUT CONNECTION CIRCUIT EXAMPLE Power Supply Sequence The recommendation for power supply sequence would be to power down the part first (VDD, AVDD), after 100ms if programming has occurred, and then power-down the control power supplies (CTL, CE). 6 FN6072.7 August 29, 2007 ISL45042 ISL45042 Truth Table TABLE 2.
