DESCRIPTION
The BUF12840 offers 12 programmable gamma
channels with external electrically erasable
programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) read
capabilities.
The BUF12840 has two separate memory banks that
allow simultaneous storage of two different gamma
curves to facilitate switching between gamma curves.
All gamma channels offer a rail-to-rail output that
typically swings to within 200mV of either supply rail
with a 5mA load. All channels are programmed using
a two-wire interface that supports standard operations
up to 400kHz and high-speed data transfers up to
3.4MHz.
The BUF12840 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
BUF12840 is offered in a QFN-24 package, and is
specified from –40°C to +95°C.
