SSD1730 MLA Power Chip
CMOS
1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SSD1730 is a power chip for operating four-line MLA (Multi Line Addressing) LCD drivers. It consists of a
CMOS charge pump-type voltage converter that can generate all the bias voltages required for the four-line MLA
drive based on a single power supply input.
This can be used for the system that is formed by a column (segment) driver such as SSD1870 and a row
(common) driver such as SSD1881. Such type of display system is able to produce a module with lower power
consumption when comparing with the conventional driving method.

5. FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DESCRIPTIONS
LCD Polarity Reverse Signal Generator
This circuit generates the polarity reverse signals FR and XFR from the pulse signal LP. The polarity reversal interval is
controlled by four pins L0, L1, L2 & L3 and the range is from 2P to 17P (1P is equal to one LP period), Table 15 shows
their relationship. The polarity of the FR signal and the XFR signal are mutually opposite, so that the upper and lower
screens can be driven mutually in opposite phases when a two-screen drive panel is used.
Clock Signal Generator
This circuit generates the clock for the charge pump from the pulse signal LP. When the display control signal XSLP is
set to VSS, the clock will stop and the voltage converter will halt. For normal display mode, XSLP must be tied to
VDD_PWR. Besides, this circuit also generates the signals AB & XBB which are the clocks for the column driver voltage
generator and the row driver voltage generator. Figure 7 shows their timing characteristics.
-V1 Discharge Circuit
When the display is off or the power is off, this circuit will discharge the residual charges at the negative voltage level-side
power supply voltage terminal –V1 of the row driver.
Column Driver Voltage Generator
This circuit accompanying with external components generates voltages for column driver. In SSD1730, three voltage
outputs including V2, -V2 and -V3 will be generated and their voltage levels are based on the supply voltage VDD_PWR.
Their relationship is V2 = VDD_PWR/2, -V2 = -(VDD_PWR/2) and –V3 = -VDD_PWR.
Row Driver Voltage Generator
This voltage generator consists of three circuits (1) Row driver voltage conversion circuit, (2) VDD_ROW voltage
generator and (3) +V1 voltage generator.
Row Driver Voltage Conversion Circuit
This circuit generates VEE voltage which is used to generate +V1 & -V1 power supply voltages for row
driver. There are two step-up modes 5X and 6X which are set by the HC pin. When HC pin is tied to VSS, 5X
step-up mode is chosen. When HC pin is tied to -V3B, 6X step-up mode is chosen.
In SSD1730, VDD_PWR is taken as the reference, VEE is equal to -4 x VDD_PWR at 5X step-up mode
while VEE is equal to -5 x VDD_PWR at 6X step-up mode.
For the contrast adjustment, it is performed through the use of an external emitter follower circuit to adjust
VEE to generate –V1, this contrast control circuit is shown in Figure 9.
VDD_ROW Voltage Generator
VDD_ROW voltage generator is used to generate VDD_ROW, which is the power supply to the logic circuit
of a row driver.
+V1 Voltage Generator
+V1 voltage generator accompanies with an external MOS transistor to generate +V1 voltage, which is
required for the row driver. Figure 10 shows the accompanying external circuit for generating +V1 voltage.

LCD Polarity Reverse Signal Generator
This circuit generates the polarity reverse signals FR and XFR from the 1P period pulse signal LP. The polarity
reversal period ranging from 2P to 17P is controlled by four pins L0, L1, L2 & L3. In such case, the upper and lower
screens can be driven in mutually opposite phases when a two-screen drive panel is used, the polarity of the FR
signal and the XFR signal are mutually opposite. The timing of the output transitions is synchronized with the falling
edge of the LP signal. Figure 6 shows the timing diagram of LP, FR and XFR signals. Table 15 shows the
relationship between the number of LP (NumLP) during the frame interval and the settings of L0 to L3.

Clock Signal Generator
This circuit generates the clock for charge pump circuit from the pulse signal LP. When the display off control signal
XSLP is set to VSS, the clock will stop and the voltage converter will halt. The signal clocks AB and XBB for the
column driver voltage generator and the row driver voltage generator are also generated by this circuit.

Driver Voltage Generator
This circuit generates all voltage levels which are required to drive both the row driver and the column driver. The
voltage converter circuit comprises a CMOS charge pump-type DC/DC converter which is formed by five individual
voltage generator circuits including 1) Column driver voltage generator, 2) Row driver voltage conversion circuit, 3)
VDD_ROW voltage generator circuit, 4) +V1 voltage generator circuit and 5) External contrast control circuit. Figure
8 shows the relationship between these voltage generator circuits and Table 14 summarized all logical formulas
which can be used to calculated these voltage levels. Besides, in order to generate these voltages, external
capacitors for the charge pump are necessary. Application circuit shows their connections

-V1 and +V1 Discharge Circuit
When XSLP is set to VSS level, the internal –V1 discharge circuit will be triggered and the residual charge at the
row driver negative voltage-side power supply voltage terminal –V1 will be discharged to the VSS level. However,
the residual charge at the row driver positive voltage-side power supply terminal +V1 can be discharged to the VSS
level through an external MOS transistor. Figure 11 shows the typical connection of the +V1 discharge circuit.

Power Up and Power Down Sequence
Proper power up sequence and power down sequence are recommended to protect the display system and to have
better performance.
Power Up Sequence:
Start – Turn on the logic system in the application and power up the SSD1730
Display off – Set Column and Row Driver DOFF# to “L”
Initialization – Send LP, YD, XSCL and Data
#
Stable – Wait for the power levels getting stable (around 80ms)
Display on – Set Column and Row Driver DOFF# to “H”
Power Down Sequence:
Display off – Set Column and Row Driver DOFF# to “L”
Sleep mode – Set power chip to sleep mode by setting XSLP to “L”
#
Discharge – Wait for the discharge of the display system (around 50ms)
Power down – Cut the power of the SSD1730
End – Turn off the logic system of the application
#
Depends on the system loading.
