3 Description
The BUF16821-Q1 offers 16 programmable gamma
channels and two programmable VCOM channels.
The final gamma and VCOM values can be stored in
the on-chip, nonvolatile memory. To allow for
programming errors or liquid crystal display (LCD)
panel rework, the device supports up to 16 write
operations to the on-chip memory.
The device has two separate memory banks, allowing
simultaneous storage of two different gamma curves
to facilitate switching between gamma curves. All
gamma and VCOM channels offer a rail-to-rail output
that typically swings to within 150 mV of either supply
rail with a 10-mA load. All channels are programmed
using an I2C interface that supports standard
operations up to 400 kHz and high-speed data
transfers up to 2.7 MHz.
The device 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 20 V. The
device is offered in an HTSSOP-28 PowerPAD™
package, and is specified from –40°C to +85°C.
