ISL45042A ® Data Sheet October 13, 2006 FN6158.2 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 sinkcurrent. 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 resister connected to the SET pin. The full-scale sink current determines the lowest voltage of the external voltage divider. • 2.6V to 3.6V Logic Supply Voltage Operating Range • 4.5V to 20V Analog Supply Voltage Range • Rewritable EEPROM for storing the optimum VCOM value • Output Adjustment Enable/Disable Control • Output Guaranteed Monotonic Over Temperature • Two Pin Adjustment, Programming and Enable • Ultra Thin 8 Ld 3mmx3mm DFN (0.8mm max) • Pb-Free Plus Anneal Available (RoHS Compliant) Applications • LCD Panels Ordering Information PART NO.

ISL45042A Pin Descriptions PIN 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 description 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 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 maximum set current has to be less than 120µA.

A Typical Current of 20µA is Calculated using the AVDD = 10V and RSET = 24.9kΩ. The maximum suggested SET Current should be 120µA. Application Information 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. AVDD AVDD ISL45042A CTL CE OUT SET ISink R1 R2 RSET CTL Pin VCOM 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. 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 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. 4 BLUE GREEN RED The output VCOM voltage is increased with a mid (Vdd/2) to high transition (0.8*VDD) on CTL pin. The output VCOM voltage is decreased with a mid (Vdd/2) to low transition (0.3*VDD), on CTL pin (Reference Figure 6). 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. + - COLUMN DRIVER SINGLE PIXEL IN LCD PANEL FIGURE 1. VCOM ADJUSTMENT IN AN LCD PANEL FN6158.2 October 13, 2006 ISL45042A To avoid unintentional adjustment, the ISL45042A guarantees to reject CTL pulses shorter than 20µs. CTL VOLTAGE >200µs 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 6 for the timing information.. 4.9V CE Pin 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) ISL45042A 1kΩ 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 (RINTERNAL Figure 5). 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. 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). EQ. 1 and EQ. 2 can be used to calculate the output current (IOUT) and output voltage (VOUT) values.

EXAMPLE OF THE REPLACEMENT FOR THE MECHANICAL POTENTIOMETER CIRCUIT USING THE ISL45042A 5 FN6158.2 October 13, 2006 ISL45042A Table 1 gives the calculated value of VOUT for resistors values of: RSET = 24.9kΩ, R1 = 200kΩ, R2 = 243kΩ, and VADD = 10V. TABLE 1.

The impedance of this resistor is 400kΩ-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 5. This design will result in an additional 0.83mA quiescent current flowing through resistors RA and RB.. VCC= 5V ISL45042A RA 2kΩ CE VCE SCHMITT TRIGGER CE LOGIC RB RSET Resistor 4kΩ The external RSET resistor sets the full-scale sink current that determines the lowest voltage of the external voltage divider R1 and R2 (Figure 1). The maximum ISET current has to be less than 120µA. The minimum RSET resistor with AVDD equal to 10V is 4.17kΩ (10V/(20*120µA). Typical applications with AVDD equal to 10V and RSET equal to 24.9kΩ will result in a set current equal to 20µA. Power Supply Sequence The recommendation for power supply sequence would be to power down the part first (Vdd, AVdd), after 100msec if programming has occurred, and then power down the control power supplies (CTL, CE). FIGURE 5. APPLICATION GENERATING VDD AND VCE VOLTAGES ISL45042A Truth Table The ISL45042A truth table is shown in Table 2. For proper operation the CE should be disabled (pulled low) before powering the device down to assure that the glitches and transients will not cause unwanted EEPROM overwriting. TABLE 2. TRUTH TABLE Verifying the Programmed Value The following sequence can be used to verify the programmed value without having to sequence the VDD supply. To verify the programmed value, follow the steps below. The ISL45042A will read memory contents and be set to that value when the CE pin is grounded. 1. Power up the ISL45042A.
