PD160040B
384-OUTPUT TFT-LCD SOURCE DRIVER
(COMPATIBLE WITH 256-GRAY SCALE)
DESCRIPTION
The
µ
PD160040B is a source driver for TFT-LCDs capable of dealing with displays with 256-gray scale. Data input
is based on digital input configured as 8 bits by 6 dots (2 pixels), which can realize a full-color display of 16,777,216
colors by output of 256 values
γ
-corrected by an internal D/A converter and 8-by-2 external power modules.
Because the output dynamic range is as large as V
SS2
+ 0.2 V to V
DD2
– 0.2 V, level inversion operation of the LCD’s
common electrode is rendered unnecessary. Also, to be able to deal with dot-line inversion, n-line inversion and
column line inversion when mounted on a single side, this source driver is equipped with a built-in 8-bit D/A converter
circuit whose odd output pins and even output pins respectively output gray-scale voltage of differing polarity.

STHR
Right shift start pulse
I/O
These are the start pulse input/output pins when connected in cascade.
Loading of display data starts when a H level is read at the rising edge
of CLK.
A H level should be input at the pulse of one cycle of the clock signal.
5
STHL
Left shift start pulse
I/O
If the start pulse input is more than 2 CLK, the first 1 CLK of the H-level
input is valid.
For right shift, STHR is input and STHL is output.
For left shift, STHL is input and STHR is output.
CLK
Shift clock
Input
The shift clock input pin of shift register. The display data is loaded into
the data register at the rising edge.
When 66 clock pulses are input after input of the start pulse, input of
display data is halted automatically. The contents of the shift register
are cleared at the STB’s rising edge.
STB
Latch
Input
The contents of the data register are transferred to the latch circuit at
the rising edge. In addition, at the falling edge, the gray scale voltage is
supplied to the driver. It is necessary to ensure input of one pulse per
horizontal period.
SRC
Through rate control
Input
SRC = H: High through rate mode (large current consumption)
SRC = L: Low through rate mode (small current consumption)
SRC is pulled up to the V
DD1
in the IC.
ORC
Output resistance control
Input
ORC = H: Low output resistance mode
ORC = L: High output resistance mode
ORC is pulled up to the V
DD1
in the IC.
POL
Polarity input
Input
POL = L: The S
2n−1
output uses V
0
-V
7
as the reference supply. The S
2n
output uses V
8
-V
15
as the reference supply.
POL = H: The S
2n−1
output uses V
8
-V
15
as the reference supply. The S
2n
output uses V
0
-V
7
as the reference supply.
S
2n−1
indicates the odd output and S
2n
indicates the even output. Input
of the POL signal is allowed the setup time (t
POL–STB
) with respect to
STB’s rising edge.
When it switches such as POL = H→L or L→H, all output pins are
output reset during STB = H. When it does not switch, all output pins
become Hi-Z (high impedance) during STB = H. Refer to
7.
