LCD Module Calibrator
Features
The VCOM voltage of an LCD panel needs to be adjusted to
remove flicker. The ISL45042A can be used to digitally
adjust a panel’s VCOM voltage by controlling its output sink
current. The output of the ISL45042A 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 ISL45042A is set using an
external resistor connected to the SET pin. The full-scale
sink current determines the lowest voltage of the external
voltage divider.
The ISL45042A is available in an 8 Ld 3mmx3mm TDFN
package with a maximum thickness of 0.8mm for ultra thin
LCD panel design.

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 in “Pin Descriptions” on page 2 for the maxim 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
ISL45042A 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 in “Electrical Specifications” table on page 4 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.

The application circuit to adjust the VCOM voltage in an LCD
panel is shown in Figure 1. The ISL45042A 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 ISL45042A sink current.

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 (see 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
FN6158.4

needed to program the non-volatile memory is given in
Figure 2. It then takes a maximum of 100ms for the
programming to be completed inside the device.
CTL VOLTAGE
>200µs
4.9V
CE Pin
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 (see
RINTERNAL in Figure 6).
The CE pin has a Schmitt trigger on the input to prevent
false triggering during slow transitions of the CE pin.
Transitions of the CE pin are recommended to be less than
10µs.
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).
Replacing Existing Mechanical Potentiometer
Circuits
Figure 4 shows the common adjustment mechanical circuits
and equivalent replacement with the ISL45042A.
Expected Output Voltage
The ISL45042A provides an output sink current, which
lowers the voltage on the external voltage divider (VCOM
output voltage). Equations 1 and 2 can be used to calculate
the output current (IOUT) and output voltage (VOUT) values.

To avoid unintentional adjustment, the ISL45042A
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.

7. Check that the output value is the one programmed in

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 (see Figure 1). The voltage difference between the
VOUT pin and ISET pin (see 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 in
Equation 2, should be determined (setting equal to 128) so the
minimum value of VOUT is greater than 1.75V + AVDD/20.

The following sequence can be used to verify the

Verifying the Programmed Value
The CE pin has an internal pull-down resistor (see
RINTERNAL in 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 ISL45042A
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.

The recommendation for power supply sequence would be
