Sample and hold circuits and output circuits are as shown in the diagram below. When CTR = "H", the LH1687 samples the data to system A of the sample and hold circuits and outputs the voltage corresponding to the voltage sampled by capacitor B of system B. When CTR = "L", the LH1687 samples the data to system B of the sample and hold circuits and outputs the voltage corresponding to the voltage sampled by capacitor A of system A.

The output voltage corresponds to the data sampled by the previous sampling operation. Timing of operation is as follows. Therefore, it is usually necessary to repeat the sampling operation and output operation by exchanging CTR signal ("H" to "L" or "L" to "H") for every start signal. While CTR signal is set to "H" or "L" several times Start signal CTR System A Sampling 1 Output 1 Sampling 3 Sampling 3' Output 3' System B Output 0 Sampling 2 Output 2 Output 2 Sampling 4 set to PS = "L", but careful attention must be paid to the displaying quality etc. when using it.

(n = 0, 1, 2, π, 79) NOTES : • Set the MODE pin condition during blanking period. • Input the horizontal shift clock signal of CK pin by shifting the phase for each line according to the shift of the pixels connected to the same source bus line. If the pixels connected to the same source bus line are shifted by half the pixels, change the clock phase 90 degrees. Clock phase must be changed during blanking period. 12 LH1687 Outline of Operation Timing (1) Overall Operation Timing Video signals of one horizontal scanning period are sampled into the sample and hold circuits at the timing of the internal sampling pulses of each Horizontal Blanking Period Video Signals output circuit, and data corresponding to the sampled data are output.

Finally, set the LCD drive system input pins (VA, VB, VC, TST5). When disconnecting the power supply, follow the reverse sequence. When connecting or disconnecting the power supply follow the recommended sequence shown here. Precautions when connecting or disconnecting the power supply This IC has some power supply pins, so it may be permanently damaged by a high current which may flow if voltage is supplied to the LCD drive power supply while the logic system power supply is floating. Therefore, when connecting the power supply, set the logic system input pins (SPIO, SPOI, CK, CTR, MODE, SAME, RL, PS, TST1, TST2, TST3, TST4) after supplying the voltage to 16 LH1687 Power Suplly of Logic System Input of Logic System Power Supply of LCD Drive System Input of LCD Drive System Connecting The Power Supply or Input Signals Disconnecting The Power Supply or Input Signals Bypass capacitor If the noise of a logic system is superposed on analog circuits such as the sample and hold circuits, analog characteristics (such as output voltage deviation and dynamic range, etc.) may deteriorate. For this reason, insert bypass capacitors of about 1 µF between VCCL and GNDL, VCCA and GNDA. Fully evaluate and determine the value of bypass capacitors with them actually mounted on the LCD module. Setting of Input pins Since 5 pins of SPIO, SPOI, CK, CTR, and MODE of the input pins are not pulled up or pulled down in the IC, never use these 5 pins in the "OPEN" condition. Since VA, VB, and VC pins are for inputting video signals, necessary video signals must always be input. Except for VA, VB, VC, SPIO, SPOI, CK, CTR, and MODE, all other input pins are pulled up in the IC. However, to preventing malfunction due to noise etc., avoid using the "OPEN" condition whenever possible, and set to "H" level or "L" level. Maximum ratings When connecting or disconnecting the power supply, this IC must be used within the range of the absolute maximum ratings. Input video signals Input video signals are target for analog signals (continuous signals). The input band of video signals is applicable up to the maximum of 12.5 MHz. 17 LH1687 ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS PARAMETER Supply voltage Input voltage SYMBOL VCCL APPLICABLE PINS VCCL RATING –0.3 to +7.0 UNIT V VCCA VCCA –0.3 to +7.0 V –0.3 to VCCL + 0.3 V VINL VINA Storage temperature CK, CTR, SPIO, SPOI, MODE, RL, SAM, PS, TST1-TST4 TST5, VA, VB, VC TSTG –0.3 to VCCA + 0.3 V –45 to +125 ˚C NOTE 1, 2 NOTES : 1.
