SBVS101 – DECEMBER 2007
When the IC powers on, the data in the Grayscale Shift Register and latch 1/2 are not set to any default value.
Therefore, grayscale data must be written to the Grayscale latch before turning on the constant current output.
Additionally, BLANK should be high when the device turns on, to prevent the outputs from turning on before the
proper grayscale and brightness control values can be written. All constant current outputs are always off when
BLANK is high. Equation 3 determines each output (OUTn) total on time (tOUTON):
tOUTON (ns) = TGSCLK (ns) ´ GSn
Where:
• TGSCLK = the period of GSCLK
• GSn = the programmed grayscale value for OUTn (GSn = 0 to 65,535d)
Table 4 summarizes the GS data versus OUTn on duty and on time.
