APPLICATIONS
•
Digital
(2.0V to 5.5V)
The BUF08821 has two separate memory banks,
allowing simultaneous storage of two different gamma
curves to facilitate switching between gamma curves.
All gamma and VCOM channels offer a rail-to-rail
output that typically swings to within 150mV of either
supply rail with a 10mA load. All channels are
programmed using an I2C interface that supports
standard operations up to 400kHz and high-speed
data transfers up to 3.4MHz.
The BUF08821 is manufactured using Texas
Instruments’ proprietary, state-of-the-art, high-voltage
CMOS process. This process offers very dense logic
and HIGH supply voltage operation of up to 20V. The
BUF08821 is offered in a HTSSOP-20 PowerPAD ™
package. It is specified from –40°C to +85°C.

The final gamma and VCOM values can be stored in
the on-chip, nonvolatile memory. To allow for
programming errors or liquid crystal display (LCD)
panel rework, the BUF08821 supports up to 16 write
operations to the on-chip memory.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
GENERAL
The BUF08821 programmable voltage reference
allows fast and easy adjustment of eight
programmable gamma reference outputs and one
VCOM output, each with 10-bit resolution. The
BUF08821 is programmed through a high-speed, I2C
interface. The final gamma and VCOM values can be
stored in the on-chip, nonvolatile memory. To allow
for programming errors or liquid crystal display (LCD)
panel rework, the BUF08821 supports up to 16 write
operations to each word in the on-chip memory. The
BUF08821 has two separate memory banks, allowing
simultaneous storage of two different gamma curves
to facilitate dynamic switching between gamma
curves. The BUF08821 also has two storage registers
for each digital-to-analog converter (DAC) channel to
allow fast switching (less than 10μs) between gamma
curves.
At power-on, the BUF08821 first updates all channels
to midscale (code 1000000000) and then reads the
data for both memory banks into the two sets of
storage registers. This read process requires
approximately 560μs. After this read is complete, the
BUF08821 updates the DACs simultaneously with
data for the bank selected by the BKSEL pin.
The BUF08821 can be powered using an analog
supply voltage from 9V to 20V, and a digital supply
from 2V to 5.5V. The digital supply must be applied
before the analog supply to avoid excessive current
and power consumption, or possibly even damage to
the device if left connected only to the analog supply
for extended periods of time. Figure 10 shows a
typical configuration of the BUF08821.

SBOS438C – AUGUST 2008 – REVISED AUGUST 2009 ................................................................................................................................................. www.ti.com
TWO-WIRE BUS OVERVIEW
The
BUF08821
communicates
over
an
industry-standard, two-wire interface to receive data
in slave mode. This standard uses a two-wire,
open-drain interface that supports multiple devices on
a single bus. Bus lines are driven to a logic LOW
level only. The device that initiates the
communication is called a master, and the devices
controlled by the master are slaves. The master
generates the serial clock on the clock signal line
(SCL), controls the bus access, and generates the
START and STOP conditions.
To address a specific device, the master initiates a
START condition by pulling the data signal line (SDA)
from a HIGH to a LOW logic level while SCL is HIGH.
All slaves on the bus shift in the slave address byte
on the rising edge of SCL, with the last bit indicating
whether a read or write operation is intended. During
the ninth clock pulse, the slave being addressed
responds to the master by generating an
Acknowledge and pulling SDA low.
Data transfer is then initiated and eight bits of data
are sent, followed by an Acknowledge bit. During
data transfer, SDA must remain stable while SCL is
HIGH. Any change in SDA while SCL is HIGH is
interpreted as a START or STOP condition.
Once all data have been transferred, the master
generates a STOP condition, indicated by pulling
SDA from LOW to HIGH while SCL is HIGH. The
BUF08821 can act only as a slave device; therefore,
it never drives SCL. SCL is an input only for the
BUF08821.
ADDRESSING THE BUF08821
The address of the BUF08821 is 111010x, where x is
the state of the A0 pin. When the A0 pin is LOW, the
device acknowledges on address 74h (1110100). If
the A0 pin is HIGH, the device acknowledges on
address 75h (1110101). Table 1 shows the A0 pin
settings and BUF08821 address options.
Table 1. Quick-Reference Table of
BUF08821 Addresses
BUF08821 ADDRESS:
ADDRESS
A0 pin is LOW
(device acknowledges on address 74h)
1110100
A0 pin is HIGH
(device acknowledges on address 75h)
1110101
DATA RATES
The two-wire bus operates in one of three speed
modes:
• Standard: allows a clock frequency of up to
100kHz;
• Fast: allows a clock frequency of up to 400kHz;
and
• High-speed mode (also called Hs mode): allows a
clock frequency of up to 3.4MHz.
The BUF08821 is fully compatible with all three
modes. No special action is required to use the
device in Standard or Fast modes, but High-speed
mode must be activated. To activate High-speed
mode, send a special address byte of 00001 xxx, with
SCL = 400kHz, following the START condition; where
xxx are bits unique to the Hs-capable master, which
can be any value. This byte is called the Hs master
code. Table 2 provides a reference for the
High-speed mode command code. (Note that this
configuration is different from normal address
bytes—the LOW bit does not indicate read/write
status.) The BUF08821 responds to the High-speed
command regardless of the value of these last three
bits. The BUF08821 does not acknowledge this byte;
the
communication
protocol
prohibits
acknowledgment of the Hs master code. Upon
receiving a master code, the BUF08821 switches on
its Hs mode filters, and communicates at up to
3.4MHz. Additional high-speed transfers may be
initiated without resending the Hs mode byte by
generating a repeat START without a STOP. The
BUF08821 switches out of Hs mode with the next
STOP condition.
Other valid addresses are possible through a simple
mask change. Contact your TI representative for
information.

GENERAL-CALL RESET AND POWER-UP
NONVOLATILE MEMORY
The BUF08821 responds to a General-Call Reset,
which is an address byte of 00h (0000 0000) followed
by a data byte of 06h (0000 0110). The BUF08821
acknowledges both bytes. Table 2 provides a
reference for the General-Call Reset command code.
Upon receiving a General-Call Reset, the BUF08821
performs a full internal reset, as though it had been
powered off and then on. It always acknowledges the
General-Call address byte of 00h (0000 0000), but
does not acknowledge any General-Call data bytes
other than 06h (0000 0110).
BKSEL Pin
When the BUF08821 powers up, it automatically
performs a reset. As part of the reset, the BUF08821
is configured for all outputs to change to the last
programmed nonvolatile memory values, or
1000000000 if the nonvolatile memory values have
not been programmed.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE
Buffer output values are determined by the analog
supply voltage (VS) and the decimal value of the
binary input code used to program that buffer. The
value is calculated using Equation 1:
CODE10
VOUT = VS ´
1024
(1)
The BUF08821 outputs are capable of a full-scale
voltage output change in typically 5μs; no
intermediate steps are required.
UPDATING THE DAC OUTPUT VOLTAGES
Because the BUF08821 features a double-buffered
register structure, updating the digital-to-analog
converter (DAC) and/or the VCOM register is not the
same as updating the DAC and/or VCOM output
voltage. There are two methods for updating the
DAC/VCOM output voltages.
Method 1: Method 1 is used when it is desirable to
have the DAC/VCOM output voltage change
immediately after writing to a DAC register. For each
write transaction, the master sets data bit 15 to a '1'.
The DAC/VCOM output voltage update occurs after
receiving the 16th data bit for the currently-written
register.
Method 2: Method 2 is used when it is desirable to
have all DAC/VCOM output voltages change at the
same time. First, the master writes to the desired
DAC/VCOM channels with data bit 15 a '0'. Then,
when writing the last desired DAC/VCOM channel, the
master sets data bit 15 to a '1'. All DAC/VCOM
channels are updated at the same time after
receiving the 16th data bit.
The BUF08821 has 16x rewrite capability for each
word in the nonvolatile memory. The BUF08821 has
the ability to store two distinct gamma curves in two
different nonvolatile memory banks, each of which
has 16x rewrite capability. To facilitate fast switching
between the two distinct gamma curves, two storage
registers are implemented for each DAC channel so
that there is no delay as a result of reading the
nonvolatile memory when the banks are switched.
One of the two available banks is selected using the
external input pin, BKSEL. When this pin is LOW,
BANK0 is selected; when this pin is HIGH, BANK1 is
selected.
When the BKSEL pin changes state, the BUF08821
switches all DAC channels simultaneously from the
values in the storage registers for the previously
selected bank to the values in the storage registers
for the new bank. The storage registers are not
updated from the nonvolatile memory. This switching
occurs within 5μs of the BKSEL pin state change,
and the outputs settle in less than 5μs. The total time
to switch from one gamma curve to the other gamma
curve is less than 10μs. This fast switching allows for
the easy implementation of dynamic gamma
correction using the BUF08821.
Data from the nonvolatile memory may be fed into the
storage registers by commands issued by the I2C
master. The bank to be acquired by the command
from the I2C master depends on the state of the
BKSEL pin. At power-on, the BUF08821 reads the
values from the nonvolatile memory into the storage
registers. If the I2C interface is used to update the
storage registers through write operations, these
values remain in the storage registers until the device
powers off, they are overwritten by a write command
on the I2C interface, or a memory acquire command
is issued on the I2C interface. This architecture allows
a controller to update the storage registers with two
new gamma curves (one in each bank) without
updating the nonvolatile memory, and continue to
change quickly between the two new gamma curves
by using the BKSEL pin.
General Acquire Command
A general acquire command is used to update all
registers and DAC/VCOM outputs to the last
programmed values stored in nonvolatile memory for
the selected bank. A single-channel acquire
command updates only the register and DAC/VCOM
output of the DAC/VCOM that corresponds to the
DAC/VCOM address used in the single-channel
acquire command.

SBOS438C – AUGUST 2008 – REVISED AUGUST 2009 ................................................................................................................................................. www.ti.com
These are the steps of the sequence to initiate a
general channel acquire:
1. BKSEL should be stable throughout the time of a
general acquire. Be sure BKSEL is in its desired
state, has been stable for at least 20μs, and that
any previous general acquire has had time to
complete.
2. Send a START condition on the bus.
3. Send the appropriate device address (based on
A0) and the read/write bit = LOW. The BUF08821
acknowledges this byte.
4. Send a DAC/VCOM pointer address byte. Set bit
D7 = 1 and D6 = 0. Bits D5–D0 are any valid
DAC/VCOM
address.
The
BUF08821
acknowledges, stores, and returns data only from
these addresses:
– 000000 through 000111
– 010010
See Table 4 for valid DAC/VCOM addresses.
5. Send a STOP condition on the bus.
Approximately 280μs (±30μs) after issuing this
command, all DAC/VCOM registers and DAC/VCOM
output voltages change to the respective, appropriate
nonvolatile memory values.
The general acquire command only updates storage
registers for the selected bank based on the state of
the BKSEL pin. To update both banks, it is necessary
to change the state of the BKSEL pin and issue
another general acquire command.
5. Send a STOP condition on the bus.
Approximately 36μs (±4μs) after issuing this
command, the specified DAC/VCOM register and
DAC/VCOM output voltage change to the appropriate
OTP memory value.
MaxBank
The BUF08821 can provide the user with the number
of times the nonvolatile memory of a particular
DAC/VCOM channel nonvolatile memory has been
written to for the current memory bank. This
information is provided by reading the register at
pointer address 111111.
There are two ways to update the MaxBank register:
1. After initiating a single acquire command, the
BUF08821 updates the MaxBank register with a
code corresponding to how many times that
particular channel memory has been written to.
2. Following a general acquire command, the
BUF08821 updates the MaxBank register with a
code corresponding to the maximum number of
times the most used channel (OUT1–8 and VCOM)
has been written to.
MaxBank is a read-only register and is only updated
by performing a general- or single-channel acquire.
Table 3 shows the relationship between the number
of times the nonvolatile memory has been
programmed and the corresponding state of the
MaxBank Register.
Single-Channel Acquire Command
Table 3. MaxBank Details
These are the steps to initiate a single-channel
acquire:
1. BKSEL should be stable throughout the time of a
single-channel acquire. Be sure BKSEL is in its
desired state, has been stable for at least 20μs,
and that any previous single-channel acquire has
had time to complete.
2. Send a START condition on the bus.
3. Send the device address (based on A0) and
read/write bit = LOW. The BUF08821
acknowledges this byte.
4. Send a DAC/VCOM pointer address byte using the
DAC/VCOM address corresponding to the output
and register to update with the OTP memory
value. Set bit D7 = 0 and D6 = 1. Bits D5–D0 are
the DAC/VCOM address. The BUF08821
acknowledges, stores, and returns data only from
these addresses:
– 000000 through 000111
– 010010
See Table 4 for valid DAC/VCOM addresses.

Parity Error Correction
The BUF08821 provides single-bit parity error
correction for data stored in the nonvolatile memory
to provide increased reliability of the nonvolatile
memory. If a single bit of nonvolatile memory for a
channel fails, the BUF08821 corrects for it and
updates the appropriate DAC with the intended value
when its memory is acquired.
If more than one bit of nonvolatile memory for a
channel fail, the BUF08821 does not correct for it,
and updates the appropriate DAC/VCOM with the
default value of 1000000000.
DIE_ID AND DIE_REV REGISTERS
The user can verify the presence of the BUF08821 in
the system by reading from address 111101. The
BUF08821A returns 0010001001110101 when read
at this address. The BUF08821B returns
0010001001111101 when read at this address.
The user can also determine the die revision of the
BUF08821 by reading register 111100. The
BUF08821 returns 0000000000000000 when a RevA
die is present. RevB would be designated by
0000000000000001, and so on.
READ/WRITE OPERATIONS
Read and write operations can be done for a single
DAC/VCOM or for multiple DACs/VCOM. Writing to a
DAC/VCOM register differs from writing to the
nonvolatile memory. Bits D15–D14 of the most
significant byte of data determines if data are written
to the DAC/VCOM register or the nonvolatile memory.
Write commands are performed by setting the
read/write bit LOW. Setting the read/write bit HIGH
performs a read transaction.
Writing: DAC/VCOM Register (Volatile Memory)
To write to a single DAC/VCOM register:
1. Send a START condition on the bus.
2. Send the device address and read/write bit =
LOW. The BUF08821 acknowledges this byte.
3. Send a DAC/VCOM pointer address byte. Set bit
D7 = 0 and D6 = 0. Bits D5–D0 are the
DAC/VCOM
address.
The
BUF08821
acknowledges, stores, and returns data only from
these addresses:
– 000000 through 000111
– 010010
See Table 4 for valid DAC/VCOM addresses.
4. Send two bytes of data for the specified register.
Begin by sending the most significant byte first
(bits D15–D8, of which only bits D9 and D8 are
used, and bits D15–D14 must not be 01),
followed by the least significant byte (bits
D7–D0). The register is updated after receiving
the second byte.
5. Send a STOP or START condition on the bus.
The BUF08821 acknowledges each data byte. If the
master terminates communication early by sending a
STOP or START condition on the bus, the specified
register is not updated. Updating the DAC/VCOM
register is not the same as updating the DAC/VCOM
output voltage; see the Output Latch section.
Read/Write: DAC/VCOM Register (volatile memory)
The BUF08821 is able to read from a single
DAC/VCOM, or multiple DACs/VCOM, or write to the
register of a single DAC/VCOM, or multiple DACs/VCOM
in a single communication transaction. DAC pointer
addresses begin with 000000 (which corresponds to
OUT1) through 000111 (which corresponds to
OUT8). Address 010010 is for VCOM.
For writes to multiple channels in a single transaction,
the register pointer increments directly from 000111
through 010010. This allows all eight gamma
channels plus the VCOM channel to be updated in one
transaction by sending nine words of data.

SBOS438C – AUGUST 2008 – REVISED AUGUST 2009 ................................................................................................................................................. www.ti.com
The process of updating multiple DAC/VCOM registers
begins the same as when updating a single register.
However, instead of sending a STOP condition after
writing the addressed register, the master continues
to send data for the next register. The BUF08821
automatically and sequentially steps through
subsequent registers as additional data are sent. The
process continues until all desired registers have
been updated or a STOP or START condition is sent.
To write to multiple DAC/VCOM registers:
1. Send a START condition on the bus.
2. Send the device address and read/write bit =
LOW. The BUF08821 acknowledges this byte.
3. Send either the OUT1 pointer address byte to
start at the first DAC, or send the pointer address
byte for whichever DAC/VCOM is the first in the
sequence of DACs/VCOM to be updated. The
BUF08821 begins with this DAC/VCOM and steps
through subsequent DACs/VCOM in sequential
order.
4. Send the bytes of data; begin by sending the
most significant byte (bits D15–D8, of which only
bits D9 and D8 have meaning, and bits D15–D14
must not be 01), followed by the least significant
byte (bits D7–D0). The first two bytes are for the
DAC/VCOM addressed in the previous step. The
DAC/VCOM register is automatically updated after
receiving the second byte. The next two bytes are
for the following DAC/VCOM. That DAC/VCOM
register is updated after receiving the fourth byte.
This process continues until the registers of all
following DACs/VCOM have been updated. The
BUF08821 will continue to accept data for a total
of 18 DACs; however, the ten data sets following
the 8th data set will be meaningless. The 19th
data set will apply to VCOM. The write disable bit
cannot be accessed using this method. It must be
written to using the write to a single DAC register
procedure.
5. Send a STOP or START condition on the bus.
The BUF08821 acknowledges each byte. To
terminate communication, send a STOP or START
condition on the bus. Only DAC registers that have
received both bytes of data are updated.
Reading: DAC/VCOM/OTHER Register (Volatile
Memory)
Reading a register returns the data stored in that
DAC/VCOM/OTHER register.
To read a single DAC/VCOM/OTHER register:
1. Send a START condition on the bus.
2. Send the device address and read/write bit =
LOW. The BUF08821 acknowledges this byte.
12
3. Send the DAC/VCOM/OTHER pointer address
byte. Set bit D7 = 0 and D6 = 0; bits D5–D0 are
the DAC/VCOM/OTHER address. The BUF08821
acknowledges, stores, and returns data only from
these addresses:
– 000000 through 000111
– 010010
– 111100 through 111111
See Table 4 for valid DAC/VCOM/OTHER
addresses.
4. Send a START or STOP/START condition.
5. Send the correct device address and read/write
bit = HIGH. The BUF08821 acknowledges this
byte.
6. Receive two bytes of data. They are for the
specified register. The most significant byte (bits
D15–D8) is received first; next is the least
significant byte (bits D7–D0). In the case of
DAC/VCOM channels, bits D15–D10 have no
meaning.
7. Acknowledge after receiving the first byte.
8. Send a STOP or START condition on the bus or
do not acknowledge the second byte to end the
read transaction.
Communication may be terminated by sending a
premature STOP or START condition on the bus, or
by not acknowledging.
To read multiple registers:
1. Send a START condition on the bus.
2. Send the device address and read/write bit =
LOW. The BUF08821 acknowledges this byte.
3. Send either the OUT1 pointer address byte to
start at the first DAC, or send the pointer address
byte for whichever register is the first in the
sequence of DACs/VCOM to be read. The
BUF08821 begins with this DAC/VCOM and steps
through subsequent DACs/VCOM in sequential
order.
4. Send a START or STOP/START condition on the
bus.
5. Send the correct device address and read/write
bit = HIGH. The BUF08821 acknowledges this
byte.
6. Receive two bytes of data. They are for the
specified DAC/VCOM. The first received byte is the
most significant byte (bits D15–D8, only bits D9
and D8 have meaning), next is the least
significant byte (bits D7–D0).
7. Acknowledge after receiving each byte of data.
8. When all desired DACs have been read, send a
STOP or START condition on the bus.

Communication may be terminated by sending a
premature STOP or START condition on the bus, or
by not sending the acknowledge bit. The reading of
registers DieID, DieRev, and MaxBank is not
supported in this mode of operation (they must be
read using the single register read method).
The register pointer increments directly from 000111
through 010010 to allow all eight gamma channels
plus the VCOM channel to be updated in one
transaction.
Write: Nonvolatile Memory for the DAC Register
The BUF08821 is able to write to the nonvolatile
memory of a single DAC/VCOM in a single
communication transaction. In contrast to the
BUF20820, writing to multiple nonvolatile memory
words in a single transaction is not supported. Valid
DAC/VCOM pointer addresses begin with 000000
(which corresponds to OUT1) through 000111 (which
corresponds to OUT8). Address 010010 is for VCOM.
When programming the nonvolatile memory, the
analog supply voltage must be between 9V and 20V.
Write commands are performed by setting the
read/write bit low.
To write to a single nonvolatile register:
1. Send a START condition on the bus.
2. Send the device address and read/write bit =
LOW. The BUF08821 acknowledges this byte.
The BUF08821 acknowledges, stores, and
returns data only from these addresses:
– 000000 through 000111
– 010010
See Table 4 for DAC/VCOM addresses.
3. Send a DAC/VCOM pointer address byte. Set bit
D7 = 0 and D6 = 0. Bits D5–D0 are the
DAC/VCOM address.
4. Send two bytes of data for the nonvolatile register
of the specified DAC/VCOM. Begin by sending the
most significant byte first (bits D15–D8, of which
only bits D9 and D8 are data bits, and bits
D15–D14 must be 01), followed by the least
significant byte (bits D7–D0). The register is
updated after receiving the second byte.
5. Send a STOP condition on the bus.
The BUF08821 acknowledges each data byte. If the
master terminates communication early by sending a
STOP or START condition on the bus, the specified
nonvolatile register is not updated. Writing a
nonvolatile register also updates the DAC/VCOM
register and output voltage.
The DAC/VCOM register and DAC/VCOM output voltage
are updated immediately, while the programming of
the nonvolatile memory takes up to 250μs. Once a
nonvolatile register write command has been issued,
no communication with the BUF08821 should take
place for at least 250μs. Writing or reading over the
serial interface while the nonvolatile memory is being
written jeopardizes the integrity of the data being
stored.
Read: Nonvolatile Memory for the DAC Register
To read the data present in nonvolatile register for a
particular DAC/VCOM channel, the master must first
issue a general acquire command, or a single acquire
command with the appropriate DAC/VCOM channel
chosen. This action updates both the DAC/VCOM
register(s) and DAC/VCOM output voltage(s). The
master may then read from the appropriate
DAC/VCOM register as described earlier.

END-USER SELECTED GAMMA CONTROL
Because the BUF08821 has two banks of nonvolatile
memory, it is well-suited for providing two levels of
gamma control by using the BKSEL pin, as shown in
Figure 17. When the state of the BKSEL pin changes,
the BUF08821 updates all 9 programmable buffer
outputs simultaneously in less than 10μs.
To update all nine programmable output voltages
simultaneously via hardware; use this procedure:
Toggle the BKSEL pin to switch between Gamma
Curve 0 (stored in Bank0) and Gamma Curve 1
(stored in Bank1).
All DAC/VCOM registers update in less than 5μs, and
all output voltages settle within the next 5μs.

pin toggles between the new gamma curves after the
data is updated. The gamma curve data in the
nonvolatile memory may be restored for each curve
individually by issuing a general acquire command for
the desired bank. To restore both curves, a general
acquire command must be issued for each bank.
OUTPUT PROTECTION
The BUF08821 output stages can safely source and
sink the current levels indicated in Figure 1 and
Figure 2. However, there are other modes where
precautions must be taken to prevent to the output
stages from being damaged by excessive current
flow. The outputs (OUT1 through OUT8 and the
VCOM) include ESD protection diodes, as shown in
Figure 18. Normally, these diodes do not conduct and
are passive during typical device operation. Unusual
operating conditions can occur where the diodes may
conduct, potentially subjecting them to high, even
damaging current levels. These conditions are most
likely to occur when a voltage applied to an output
exceeds (VS) + 0.5V, or drops below GND – 0.5V.
One common scenario where this condition can occur
is when the output pin is connected to a sufficiently
large capacitor, and the BUF08821 power-supply
source (VS) is suddenly removed. Removing the
power-supply source allows the capacitor to
discharge through the current-steering diodes. The
energy released during the high current flow period
causes the power dissipation limits of the diode to be
exceeded. Protection against the high current flow
may be provided by placing current-limiting resistors
in series with the output, as shown in Figure 10.
Select a resistor value that restricts the current level
to the maximum rating for the particular pin.

DYNAMIC GAMMA CONTROL
BUF08821
Dynamic gamma control is a technique used to
improve the picture quality in LCD television
applications. This technique typically requires
switching gamma curves between frames. The
BUF08821 is well-suited to implementing dynamic
gamma control. The BUF08821 has two banks of
nonvolatile memory (one for each gamma curve), and
two sets of storage registers (one for each gamma
curve). The BKSEL pin enables the device to switch
between gamma curves; the BUF08821 outputs fully
settled within 10μs.
The BUF08821 reads gamma curve data from each
nonvolatile memory bank into the respective storage
registers upon power-on. The BKSEL pin toggles
between the two gamma curves. It is also possible to
update the gamma curves by writing new data to the
storage registers via the I2C interface. The BKSEL

GENERAL POWERPAD DESIGN
CONSIDERATIONS
The BUF08821 is available in a thermally-enhanced
PowerPAD package. This package is constructed
using a downset leadframe upon which the die is
mounted; see Figure 19(a) and Figure 19(b). This
arrangement results in the lead frame being exposed
as a thermal pad on the underside of the package;
see Figure 19(c). This thermal pad has direct thermal
contact with the die; thus, excellent thermal
performance is achieved by providing a good thermal
path away from the thermal pad.
3.
The PowerPAD package allows for both assembly
and thermal management in one manufacturing
operation. During the surface-mount solder operation
(when the leads are being soldered), the thermal pad
must be soldered to a copper area underneath the
package. Through the use of thermal paths within this
copper area, heat can be conducted away from the
package into either a ground plane or other
heat-dissipating device. Soldering the PowerPAD to
the printed circuit board (PCB) is always required,
even with applications that have low power
dissipation. This technique provides the necessary
thermal and mechanical connection between the lead
frame die pad and the PCB.
5.
The PowerPAD must be connected to the most
negative supply voltage on the device, GNDA and
GNDD.
1. Prepare the PCB with a top-side etch pattern.
There should be etching for the leads as well as
etch for the thermal pad.
2. Place recommended holes in the area of the
thermal pad. Ideal thermal land size and thermal
via patterns for the HTSSOP-20 PWP package
can be seen in the technical brief, PowerPAD
Thermally-Enhanced
Package
(SLMA002),
available for download at www.ti.com. These
holes should be 13 mils (0,33mm) in diameter.
Keep them small, so that solder wicking through
the holes is not a problem during reflow. An

example thermal land pattern mechanical drawing
is attached to the end of this data sheet.
Additional vias may be placed anywhere along
the thermal plane outside of the thermal pad area
to help dissipate the heat generated by the
BUF08821 IC. These additional vias may be
larger than the 13-mil diameter vias directly under
the thermal pad. They can be larger because
they are not in the thermal pad area to be
soldered; thus, wicking is not a problem.
Connect all holes to the internal plane that is at
the same voltage potential as the GND pins.
When connecting these holes to the internal
plane, do not use the typical web or spoke via
connection methodology. Web connections have
a high thermal resistance connection that is
useful for slowing the heat transfer during
soldering operations. This configuration makes
the soldering of vias that have plane connections
easier. In this application, however, low thermal
resistance is desired for the most efficient heat
transfer. Therefore, the holes under the
BUF08821 PowerPAD package should make
their connection to the internal plane with a
complete
connection
around
the
entire
circumference of the plated-through hole.
The top-side solder mask should leave the
terminals of the package and the thermal pad
area with its twelve holes exposed. The
bottom-side solder mask should cover the holes
of the thermal pad area. This masking prevents
solder from being pulled away from the thermal
pad area during the reflow process.
Apply solder paste to the exposed thermal pad
area and all of the IC terminals.
With these preparatory steps in place, simply
place the BUF08821 IC in position and run the
chip through the solder reflow operation as any
standard
surface-mount
component.
This
preparation results in a properly installed part.
