EXTERNAL VOLTAGE DIVIDER RESISTOR
SELECTION
The external resistive voltage-divider consisting of R1 and
R2 (see Figure 16, Figure 17, and Figure 18) sets both the
maximum value of the VCOM adjustment range and the ini-
tial VCOM voltage. Follow the steps below to calculate the
correct values for R1 and R2
Step 1: Choose the supply voltage, (VS)
Step 2: Set the nominal VCOM voltage. This voltage is the
VCOM voltage at which the unadjusted panel should be at
power-on. The default power-up DAC code is midscale.
Step 3: Choose the VCOM adjustment range. The adjust-
ment range is the difference between the lowest and the
highest desired VCOM voltage. If the default power-up code
is not overwritten by software at the beginning of the ad-
justment cycle, the adjustment range is symmetrical
around the chosen nominal VCOM voltage.
Step 4: Calculate the resistors based on the following for-
mulas or simply download the Microsoft Excel calculator
located in the product folder of BUF0190x available at
www.ti.com.

DESIGN EXAMPLE
Step 1: Supply Voltage is 10V.
Step 2: Nominal VCOM is determined to be 4V.
Step 3: The desired total adjustment range is 1V. In the
case of using the default power-up DAC code (midscale),
the adjustment range for the VCOM voltage will be from
3.5V to 4.5V.
Step 4: Calculation of R1 and R2
R1 = 71.4kΩ => choose closest 1% resistor (71.5kΩ)
R2 = 45.5kΩ => choose closest 1% resistor (45.3kΩ)
Step 5: Appropriate number of adjustment steps between
code 00h and code 3FFh is determined to be 32. This value
leads to a step size of 32 codes between adjustment
points, which translates into approximately 31mV voltage
difference between steps.
MOTOR DRIVE CIRCUIT
The BUF01900 can be used to drive small motors directly
because of the large output drive capability (> 100mA), as
illustrated in Figure 23.

CALCULATING THE VCOM OUTPUT VOLTAGE

can be calculated for any digital code with the following for-

CALCULATING THE ADJUSTMENT
RESOLUTION
The resolution of the adjustment is a function of the step
size. The resolution can be calculated by simply dividing
the chosen adjustment range by the number of steps:
Resolution = Adj_range/steps (example: 32 steps be-
tween code 0h and code 3FFh)
