Programmable VCOM Calibrator with EEPROM and
Output Buffer
ISL24212
Features
The ISL24212 is an 8-bit programmable current sink that can be
used in conjunction with an external voltage divider to generate a
voltage source (VCOM) positioned between the analog supply
voltage and ground. The current sink’s full-scale range is
controlled by an external resistor, RSET. With the appropriate
choice of external resistors R1 and R2, the VCOM voltage range
can be controlled between any arbitrary voltage range. The
ISL24212 has an 8-bit data register and 8-bit EEPROM for storing
both a volatile and a permanent value for its output, accessible
through a single up/down counter interface pin (CTL). After the
part is programmed with the desired VCOM value, the Counter
Enable pin (CE) can be grounded to prevent further changes. On
every power-up, the EEPROM contents are automatically
transferred to the data register and the pre-programmed output
voltage appears at the VCOM_OUT pin.
• Adjustable 8-bit, 256-Step, Current Sink Output
The ISL24212 also features an integrated, wide-bandwidth, high
output drive buffer amplifier that can directly drive the VCOM
input of an LCD panel.
• LCD Panel VCOM Generator
The ISL24212 is available in an 10 Ld 3mm x 3mm TDFN
package. This package has a maximum height of 0.8mm for very
low profile designs. The ambient operating temperature range is
-40°C to +85°C.

Application Information
AVDD
LCD panels have a VCOM (common voltage) that must be precisely
set to minimize flicker. Figure 3 shows a typical VCOM adjustment
circuit using a mechanical potentiometer, and the equivalent
circuit replacement using the ISL24212. Having a digital counter
interface enables automatic, digital flicker minimization during
production test and alignment. After programming, the counter
interface is no longer needed - the ISL24212 automatically powers
up with the correct VCOM voltage programmed previously.
The ISL24212 uses a digitally controllable potentiometer (DCP),
with 256 steps of resolution (see Figure 4) to change the current
drawn at the DVR_OUT pin, which then changes the voltage
created by the R1 - R2 resistor divider (see Figure 5). The DVR_OUT
voltage is then buffered by A2 to generate a buffered output voltage
at the VCOM_OUT pin, capable of directly driving the VCOM input of
an LCD panel. The amount of current sunk is controlled by the
setting of the DCP, which is recalled at power-up from the
ISL24212’s internal EEPROM. The EEPROM is typically
programmed during panel manufacture. As noted in the
“Electrical Specifications” on page 4, the ISL24212 requires a
minimum AVDD voltage of 10.8V for EEPROM programming, but
will work in normal operation down to 4.5V after the EEPROM
has been programmed, with no additional EEPROM writing.

The maximum value of IDVR_OUT can be calculated by
substituting the maximum register value of 255 into Equation 2,
resulting in Equation 3:

(EQ. 4)
Determination of RSET
The ultimate goal for the ISL24212 is to generate an adjustable
voltage between two endpoints, VCOM_MIN and VCOM_MAX, with
a fixed power supply voltage, AVDD. This is accomplished by
choosing the correct values for RSET, R1 and R2. The exact value
of RSET is not critical. Values from 1k to more than 100k will
work under most conditions. Equation 5 calculates the minimum
RSET value:

(EQ. 5)
Note that this is the absolute minimum value for RSET. Larger
RSET values reduce quiescent power, since R1 and R2 are
proportional to RSET. The ISL24212 is tested with a 5kΩ RSET.
Determination of R1 and R2
With AVDD, VCOM(MIN) and VCOM(MAX) known and RSET chosen
per the above requirements, R1 and R2 can be determined using
Equations 6 and 7:
⎛ V COM ( MAX ) – V COM ( MIN ) ⎞
R 1 = 5120 ⋅ R SET ⎜ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------⎟
⎝ 256 ⋅ V COM ( MAX ) – V COM ( MIN )⎠

The voltage at the DVR_OUT pin can be calculated from

With amplifier A2 in the unity-gain configuration (VCOM_OUT tied
to INN as shown in Figure 5), VDVROUT = VCOM_OUT = VCOM.
Example
As an example, suppose the AVDD supply is 15V, the desired
VCOM_MIN= 6.5V and the desired VCOM_MAX = 8.5V. RSET is
arbitrarily chosen to be 7.5kΩ.

Using Equations 6 and 7, calculate the values of R1 and R2:

Output Voltage Span Calculation
It is also possible to calculate VCOM(MIN) and VCOM(MAX) from the
existing resistor values.
VCOM_MIN occurs when the greatest current, IDVR(MAX), is drawn
from the middle node of the R1/R2 divider. Substituting
RegisterValue = 255 into Equation 8 gives the following:

Do not remove VDD or AVDD within 100ms of the start of the
EEPROM programming cycle. Removing power before the
EEPROM programming cycle is completed, may result in
corrupted data in the EEPROM.
Assuming that the IDVROUT(MIN) = 0 instead of ISTEP, the
expression in Equation 14 simplifies to:

⎝ R 1 + R 2⎠
(EQ. 15)
To program the EEPROM, AVDD must be ≥10.8V. If further
programming is not required, the ISL24212 will operate over an
AVDD range of 4.5V to 19V.
DVR_OUT Pin Leakage Current
During EEPROM programming, IDD and IAVDD will temporarily be
4-5x higher for up to 100ms (tPROG).
When the voltage on the DVR_OUT pin is greater than 10V, an
additional leakage current flows into the pin in addition to the
ISET current. Figure 6 shows the ISET current and the DVR_OUT
pin current for DVR_OUT pin voltage up to 19V. In applications
where the voltage on the DVR_OUT pin will be greater than 10V,
the actual output voltage will be lower than the voltage
calculated by Equation 8 due to this extra current. The graph in
Figure 6 was measured with RSET = 4.99kΩ.

CURRENT (mA)
SET PIN CURRENT
When a mid-high-mid transition is detected on the CTL pin (see
Figure 11), the internal register value counts down by one at the
trailing (high-mid) edge, and the output VCOM voltage is
increased according to Equation 8. Similarly, when a mid-low-mid
transition is detected on the CTL pin, the internal register value
counts up by one at the trailing (low-mid) edge, and the output
VCOM voltage is decreased. Once the maximum or minimum
value is reached, the counter saturates and will not overflow or
underflow beyond those values.

CTL should have a noise filter to reduce bouncing or noise on the
input that could cause unwanted counts when the CE pin is high.
Figure 8 shows a simple debouncing circuit consisting of a series
1kΩ resistor and a shunt 0.01µF capacitor connected on the CTL
pin. To avoid unintentional adjustment, the ISL24212 guarantees
to reject CTL pulses shorter than 20µs.

The ISL24212 allows the adjustment of the output VCOM voltage
and the programming of the non-volatile memory through a
single pin (CTL) when the CE (counter enable) pin is high. The CTL
pin is biased so that its voltage is set to VDD/2 if the driving
circuit is set to Tristate or High Impedance (Hi-Z), allowing
up/down operation using common digital I/O logic.

Power Supply Sequence
The recommended power supply sequencing is shown in
Figure 7. When applying power, VDD should be applied before or
at the same time as AVDD. The minimum time for tVS is 0µs.
When removing power, the sequence of VDD and AVDD is not
important.

After CE (Counter Enable) is asserted and after programming
EEPROM, the very first CTL pulse is ignored (see Figure 11) to
avoid the possibility of a false count (CTL state may be unknown
after programming).

CE Pin
1. Power-up the ISL24212. The EEPROM value will be loaded.
To change the counter controlling the output voltage, the CE
(Counter Enable) pin must be pulled high (VDD). When the CE pin
is pulled low, the counter value is loaded from EEPROM, which
takes 10ms (during which the inputs should remain constant).
The CE pin has an internal pull-down to keep it at a logic low
when not being driven. CE should be pulled low before powering
the device down to ensure that any glitches or transients during
power-down will not cause unwanted EEPROM overwriting.
2. Set the CE pin to VDD.
3. Change the VOUT voltage using the CTL pin to the desired
value, noting that first pulse will be ignored.
4. Pull the CTL pin to 4.9V or higher for at least 200µs. The
counter value will be written to EEPROM after 100ms.
5. Change the VOUT value (using the CTL pin) to a different value,
noting that first pulse after programming will be ignored.
6. Set the CE pin to 0V. The stored output value will be loaded
from EEPROM after 10ms.
The CE pin has a Schmitt trigger on the input to prevent false
triggering during slow transitions of the CE pin. The CE pin
transition time should be 10µs or less.
7. Verify that the output value is the same value programmed in
Step 4.
Programming the EEPROM
The CTL pin should be left floating after programming. The
voltage at the CTL pin will be internally biased to VDD/2 to ensure
that no additional pulses will be seen by the Up/Down counter. To
prevent further changes, ground the CE pin.
To program the non-volatile EEPROM, pull the CTL pin above 4.9V
for more than 200µs. The level and timing is shown in Figure 9. It
then takes a maximum of 100ms after CTL crosses 4.9V for the
programming to be completed inside the device.
Typical Application Circuit
CTL VOLTAGE
Shown below in Figure 10 is a typical circuit that can be used to
program the ISL24212 via the up/down counter interface. Three
momentary push-button switches are required. SW1 connected
between CTL and AVDD allows the user to bring CTL above VDD for
programming the EEPROM, SW2 connected to VDD to pull CTL up,
and SW3 connected to GND to pull CTL to down. All the switches
should have 1kΩ current-limiting resistors in series.

For adjustment and programming to occur, the CE pin has to be
set to VDD. This can be achieved by a single-pull double-throw
switch (SW4) connected between VDD and GND.
TIME
FIGURE 9. EEPROM PROGRAMMING
Note that pressing the UP button increments the counter, but
results in VCOM_OUT decreasing. Similarly, pressing the DOWN
button decrements the counter, and results in VCOM_OUT
increasing.
When the part is programmed, the data in the counter register is
written into the EEPROM. This value will be loaded from the
EEPROM during subsequent power-ups as well as when the CE
pin is pulled low. The ISL24212 is factory-programmed to
mid-scale. As with asserting CE, the first pulse after a program
operation is ignored. The EEPROM contents can be written and
