DESCRIPTION
The BUF12800 is a programmable voltage reference
generator designed for dynamic gamma correction in
TFT-LCD panels. It provides 12 programmable outputs,
each with 10-bit resolution.
TI’s new, small geometry, state-of-the-art, analog CMOS
process allows the use of one digital-to-analog converter
(DAC) per channel while still maintaining a very small chip
size. This topology has the advantage of significantly
increased programming speed over existing program-
mable buffers.
Programming of each output occurs through an industry-
standard, two-wire serial interface. Unlike existing
programmable buffers, the BUF12800 offers a high-
speed, two-wire interface mode that allows clock speeds
up to 3.4MHz. The BUF12800 features a double-buffered
DAC register structure that significantly simplifies imple-
mentation of dynamic gamma control. This further reduces
programming time, especially when many channels have
to be updated simultaneously.
Reference pins set the high and low voltages of the output
range. They are internally buffered, which simplifies
design. They may be connected to external resistors to
divide the output range for finer resolution of outputs.
The BUF12800 is available in a TSSOP-24 PowerPAD
package. It is specified from −40°C to +85°C.

(1) Stresses above these ratings may cause permanent damage.
Exposure to absolute maximum conditions for extended periods
may degrade device reliability. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions
beyond those specified is not supported.
(2) Short-circuit to ground, one amplifier per package.
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas
Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be
handled with appropriate precautions. Failure to observe
proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to
complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could
cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The BUF12800 programmable voltage reference allows
fast and easy adjustment of 12 programmable reference
outputs, each with 10-bit resolution. It allows very simple,
time-efficient adjustment of the gamma reference
voltages. The BUF12800 is programmed through a
high-speed standard two-wire interface. The BUF12800
features a double-register structure for each DAC channel
to simplify the implementation of dynamic gamma control
(see the
Dynamic Control
section). This allows
pre-loading
of register data and rapid updating of all channels
simultaneously.
Buffers A−F are able to swing to within 300mV of the
positive supply rail, and to within 1.1V of the negative
supply rail. Buffers G−L are able to swing to within 1.7V
of the positive supply rail, and to within 300mV of the
negative supply rail. (See the
Electrical Characteristics
table for further information).
Each buffer is capable of full-scale change in output
voltage in less than 4µs; see Figure 4, typical
characteristic
Full-Scale Output Swing.
Figure 7 shows the BUF12800 in a typical configuration.
In this configuration, the BUF12800 device address is 74h.
The output of each DAC is immediately updated as soon
as data is received in the corresponding register (LD = 0).
For maximum dynamic range, set V
REFH
= V
S
− 0.2V and
V
REFL
= V
S
+ 0.2V.
