GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8386 provides a fast, 10-bit, latched, decimating digital
input that drives 12 high voltage outputs. Input words with
10 bits are loaded sequentially into 12 separate high speed,
bipolar DACs. Flexible digital input format allows several
AD8386s to be used in parallel in high resolution displays.
The output signal can be adjusted for dc reference, signal
inversion, and contrast for maximum flexibility.

Output VAO is designed to drive capacitive loads less than 0.002 μF or more than 0.047 μF. Load capacitances in the range 0.002 μF − 0.047 μF cause the output
overshoot to exceed 100 mV.

Operation at high ambient temperature requires a thermally optimized PCB layout (see the Applications section). In systems with limited or no airflow, the maximum
ambient operating temperature is limited to 70°C with the thermal protection enabled, VFS = 4 V, data update rate = 85 Ms/s. Operation at 85°C ambient temperature
requires the thermal protection circuit turned disabled (TSW = LOW).

The maximum power that can be safely dissipated by the
AD8386 is limited by its junction temperature. The maximum
safe junction temperature for plastic encapsulated devices, as
determined by the glass transition temperature of the plastic, is
approximately 150°C. Exceeding this limit temporarily may
cause a shift in the parametric performance due to a change in
the stresses exerted on the die by the package. Exceeding a
junction temperature of 175°C for an extended period can
result in device failure.

The AD8386 overload protection circuit consists of an output
current limiter and a thermal protection circuit.
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only and functional operation of the device at these or
any other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.

θJA = 27°C/W in still air (JEDEC STD, 4-layer PCB with 16 vias on Epad)
θJA = 25°C/W @ 200 lfm airflow (JEDEC STD, 4-layer PCB with 16 vias on Epad)

ΨJB = 13.8°C/W in still air (JEDEC STD, 4-layer PCB with 16 vias on Epad)
When TSW is LOW, the thermal protection circuit is disabled,
and the output current limiter is turned on. The maximum
current at any one output of the AD8386 is internally limited to
100 mA average. In the event of a momentary short circuit
between a video output and a power supply rail (AVCC or
AGND), the output current limit is sufficiently low to provide
temporary protection.
When TSW is HIGH, the output current limiter, as well as the
thermal protection circuit, is turned on. The thermal protection
circuit debiases the output amplifier when the junction
temperature reaches the internally set trip point. In the event of
an extended short circuit between a video output and a power
supply rail, the output amplifier current continues to switch
between 0 mA and 100 mA typical with a period determined by
the thermal time constant and the hysteresis of the thermal trip
point. The thermal protection circuit limits the average junction
temperature to a safe level, which provides long-term
protection.
EXPOSED PADDLE
To ensure optimal thermal performance, the exposed paddle
must be electrically connected to an external plane, such as
AVCC or GND, as described in the Applications section.
ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate
on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.

AD8386
OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE
The maximum operating junction temperature is 150°C. The
junction temperature trip point of the thermal protection
circuit is 165°C. Production tests guarantee a minimum
junction temperature trip point of 125°C.
Consequently, the maximum guaranteed operating junction
temperature is 125°C when the thermal protection circuit is
enabled and 150°C when the thermal protection circuit is
disabled.
To ensure operation within the specified operating temperature
range, it is necessary to limit the maximum power dissipation as

The AD8386 is on a 4-layer JEDEC PCB with a thermally
optimized landing pattern with 16 vias.
The quiescent power dissipation of the AD8386 is 1.4 W.
When driving a 12-channel 720p HDTV panel with an input
capacitance of 150 pF, the AD8386 dissipates 1.66 W when
displaying 1 pixel wide alternating white and black vertical lines
generated by a standard 720p HDTV input video.
Conditions include the following:
• AVCC = 15.5 V
• DVCC = 3.3 V
• VFS = 5 V
• CL = 150 pF
• fPIXEL = 74.25 MHz
• Black-to-white transition = 4 V
• Active video time = 75%
Figure 2 shows these power dissipations.

Description
No Internal Connection.
10-Bit Data Input. MSB = DB(9).
While the SEN input is LOW, one 12-bit serial word is loaded into the
serial DAC on the rising edges of the SCL.
A falling edge of this input initiates a loading cycle. While this input is held
LOW, the serial DAC is enabled and data is loaded on every rising edge of
SCL. The output is updated on the rising edge of a valid SEN. A valid
SEN must remain LOW for at least three SCL cycles. While this input is
held HIGH, the control DAC is disabled.
Serial Data Clock.
When this input is HIGH, the output mode is determined by the function
programmed into the serial interface. When LOW, the output mode is
controlled by the GSW input.
When GCTL is LOW and this input is HIGH, the video outputs and VAO
operate normally. When GCTL and this input are both LOW, the video
outputs and VAO are asynchronously forced to AGND, regardless of
the function programmed into the serial interface. This function operates
when AVCC power is OFF but requires DVCC power supply to be ON.
When this input is LOW, the thermal protection circuit is disabled. When
HIGH, the thermal protection circuit is enabled. This pin has a 10 kΩ
internal pull-down resistor.

The voltage applied to this pin sets the video center voltage. The video
outputs are above this reference while the INV = HIGH and below this
reference while INV = LOW.
The full-scale video output voltage is VFS = 2 × (VRH − VRL).
Analog Power Supply.
Analog Supply Return.
Connect this pin to AGND.
A new data loading sequence begins on the left with Channel 0 when
this input is LOW, and on the right with Channel 11 when this input is HIGH.
When this input is HIGH, the VIDx output voltages are above VRL. When
LOW, the VIDx outputs voltages are below VRL. The state of INV is latched
on the first rising CLK edge after XFR is detected. The VIDx outputs change
on the rising CLK edge after the next XFR is detected.
The state of XFR is detected on the rising edge of CLK. Data is transferred to
the outputs and a new loading sequence begins on the next rising edge of
CLK after XFR is detected HIGH.

AD8386
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8386 is a system building block designed to
directly drive the columns of LCD microdisplays of the type
popularized for use in projection systems. It has 12 channels of
precision, 10-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs) loaded
from a single high speed serial input. Precision current feedback
amplifiers, which provide well-damped pulse response and fast
voltage settling into large capacitive loads, buffer the 12 outputs.
Laser trimming at the wafer level ensures low absolute output
errors and tight channel-to-channel matching. Tight part-topart matching in high resolution systems is guaranteed by the
use of external voltage references.
REFERENCE AND CONTROL INPUT DESCRIPTIONS
Data transfer/start sequence control—input data loading,
data transfer.
A valid XFR control input initiates a new six-clock loading
cycle, during which data is transferred to the outputs, and 12
input data-words are loaded sequentially into the 12 internal
channels. Data is loaded on both the rising and falling edges of
CLK. Data loaded from the previous cycle is transferred to the
outputs on the rising CLK edge when the XFR is held HIGH at
the preceding rising CLK edge only. A new loading sequence
begins on the current rising CLK edge when XFR is held HIGH
at the preceding rising CLK edge only.
An internal 10 kΩ pull-down resistor disables the thermal
switch when this pin is left unconnected.
GCTL, GSW controls—output mode control.

All video outputs and VAO are forced near

Output operating mode is controlled by the
serial interface.
TRANSFER FUNCTION AND ANALOG OUTPUT
VOLTAGE
The DecDriver has two regions of operation where the video
output voltages are either above or below the reference voltage
VRL. The transfer function defines the video output voltage as
the function of the digital input code as
VIDx(n) = VRL + VFS × (1 − n/1023), for INV = HIGH
VIDx(n) = VRL − VFS × (1 − n/1023), for INV = LOW
where:
n = input code
Right/left control—input data loading.
VFS = 2 × (VRH − VRL)
To facilitate image mirroring, the direction of the loading
sequence is set by the R/L control.
A number of internal limits define the usable range of the video
output voltages, VIDx, shown in Figure 10.
A new loading sequence begins at Channel 0 and proceeds to
Channel 11 when the R/L control is held LOW. It begins at
Channel 11 and proceeds to Channel 0 when the R/L control is
held HIGH.

ACCURACY
To best correlate transfer function errors to image artifacts, the
overall accuracy of the DecDriver is defined by two parameters,
VDE and VCME.
VDE, the differential error voltage, measures the difference
between the rms value of the output and the rms value of the
ideal. The defining expression is
VDE(n ) =
[VOUTN (n) − VOUTP (n)]

n ⎞
− ⎛⎜1 −
⎟ × VFS
⎝ 1023 ⎠
VCME, the common-mode error voltage, measures ½ the dc
offset of the output. The defining expression is

⎤
VCME (n ) = ⎢

3-WIRE SERIAL INTERFACE
The serial interface controls the 8-bit serial DAC and the video
output operating mode via a 12-bit serial word. The two most
significant bits (MSB) select the function and the eight least
significant bits (LSB) are the data for the serial DAC.

Serial DAC
The serial DAC is loaded via the serial interface. The output
voltage is determined by
VAO = SVRL + (SVRH − SVRL) × n/256
where n is the SD(0:7) serial input code.
Output VAO is designed to drive capacitive loads less than
0.002 μF or more than 0.047 μF. Load capacitances in the
0.002 μF − 0.047 μF range cause the output overshoot to exceed
100 mV.
OUTPUT OPERATING MODES
In normal operating mode, the voltage of the video outputs is
determined by the inputs.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The overload protection employs current limiters and a thermal
protection circuit to protect the video output pins against accidental
shorts between any video output pin and AVCC or AGND.

The junction temperature trip point of the thermal protection
circuit is 165°C. Production tests guarantee a minimum
junction temperature trip point of 125°C. Consequently, the
operating junction temperature should not rise above 125°C
when the thermal protection circuit is enabled.
For systems that operate at high internal ambient temperatures
and require large capacitive loads to be driven by the AD8386 at
high frequencies, junction temperatures above 125°C may be
required. In such systems, the thermal protection circuit should
either be disabled or a minimum airflow of 200 lfm must be
maintained.

AD8386
APPLICATIONS
OPTIMIZED RELIABILITY WITH THE THERMAL
PROTECTION CIRCUIT
POWER SUPPLY SEQUENCING
The AD8386 is designed for enhanced reliability through
features that provide protection against accidental shorts that
may occur during PCB assembly repair, such as solder bridging,
or during system assembly, such as a misaligned flat panel cable
in the connector.
While internal current limiters provide short-term protection
against temporary shorts at the outputs, the thermal shutdown
provides protection against persistent shorts lasting for several
seconds. To optimize reliability, the following sequence of
operations is recommended.
Initial Power-Up after PCB Assembly or Repair
Disable grounded output mode and enable thermal protection.
Ensure that the GCTL and GSW pins are LOW and the TSW
pin is HIGH upon initial power-up and remains unchanged
throughout this procedure.
As indicated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section, the
voltage at any input pin cannot exceed its supply voltage by
more than 0.5 V. Power-on and power-off sequencing may be
required to comply with the Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Failure to comply with the Absolute Maximum Ratings may
result in functional failure or damage to the internal ESD
diodes. Damaged ESD diodes may cause temporary parametric
failures, which may result in image artifacts. Damaged ESD
diodes cannot provide full ESD protection, reducing reliability.
The following power supply sequencing ensures that the
Absolute Maximum Ratings are not violated.
Power-on sequence is:
• Turn ON AVCC and analog reference voltages.
• Turn ON DVCC and digital signals.
Power-off sequence is:
• Execute the initial power-up.
• Turn OFF AVCC and analog reference voltages.
• Identify any shorts at the outputs.
• Power-down, repair shorts, and repeat the initial power-up
sequence until proper system functionality is verified.
Power-Up during Normal Operation
Disable grounded output mode and disable the thermal
protection circuit using either of the following two methods:
• GCTL = HIGH, TSW = HIGH and serial code
0XXXXXXXXXXX sent immediately following a power-up,
places all outputs into normal operating mode and disables
the thermal protection circuit.
• Turn OFF DVCC and digital signals.
GROUNDED OUTPUT MODE DURING POWER-OFF
Certain applications require that the video outputs be held near
AGND during power-down. The following power-off sequence
ensures that the outputs are near ground during power-off and
the Absolute Maximum Ratings are not violated.
• Enable grounded output mode in one of two ways:
GTCL = LOW and GSW = LOW, or GCTL = HIGH
and code 1XXXXXXXXXXX sent via the serial interface.
• Turn OFF AVCC and analog reference voltages.
• TSW = LOW disables the thermal protection circuit.
GCTL = LOW and GSW = HIGH puts all outputs into
normal operating mode.
• Turn OFF DVCC and digital signals.
OPERATION IN HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
To extend the maximum operating junction temperature of the
AD8386 to 150°C, keep the thermal protection circuit disabled
(TSW = LOW) during normal operation.

PCB DESIGN FOR OPTIMIZED THERMAL
PERFORMANCE
The total maximum power dissipated by the AD8386 is partly
load dependent. In a 12-channel, 60 Hz XGA system running at
a 65 MHz pixel rate, the total maximum power dissipated is
1.7 W, assuming a 15.5 V analog power supply, a 4 V white-toblack swing, and a 150 pF LCD input capacitance.
It is recommended that the bottom thermal pad be thermally
connected to a plane. The connection should be direct such that
the thermal pad becomes part of the plane.
The use of thermal spokes is not recommended when
connecting the thermal pads or via structure to a plane.
Solder Masking
The AD8386 package is designed to provide enhanced thermal
characteristics through the exposed die paddle on the bottom
surface of the package. In order to take full advantage of this
feature, the exposed paddle must be in direct thermal contact
with the PCB, which then serves as a heat sink.
A thermally effective PCB must incorporate two thermal pads
and a thermal via structure. The thermal pad on the top PCB
layer provides a solderable contact surface on the top surface of
the PCB. The thermal pad on the bottom PCB layer provides a
surface in direct contact with the ambient air. The thermal via
structure provides a thermal path to the inner and bottom
layers of the PCB to remove heat.
To minimize the formation of solder voids due to solder flowing
into the via holes (solder wicking), the via diameter should be
small. Optional solder masking of the via holes on the top layer
of the PCB plug the via holes, inhibiting solder flow into the
holes. To optimize the thermal pad coverage, the solder mask
diameter should be no more than 0.1 mm larger than the via
hole diameter.
Pads are set by the customer’s PCB design rules, and thermal
vias are 0.25 mm diameter circular mask, centered on the vias.
Thermal Pad Design
To minimize thermal performance degradation of production
PCBs, the contact area between the thermal pad and the PCB
should be maximized. Therefore, the size of the thermal pad on
the top PCB layer should match the exposed paddle size. The
second thermal pad of at least the same size should be placed on
the bottom side of the PCB. At least one thermal pad should be
in direct thermal contact with a plane, such as AVCC or GND.
05687-011
To limit the operating junction temperature at or below the
guaranteed maximum, the package in conjunction with the
PCB must effectively conduct heat away from the junction.
Figure 13. Land Patter—Top PCB Layer
Effective heat transfer from the top to the inner and bottom
layers of the PCB requires thermal vias incorporated into the
thermal pad design. Thermal performance increases
logarithmically with the number of vias.

Thermal via Structure Design
