128-Channel OLED Row Driver
Column Driver Block Diagram
Description
The MXED102 is Clare’s second-generation OLED col-
umn driver offering, which supports up to 240-mono-
chromatic or 80-color OLED pixels. The MXED102's
exceptionally tight current-matching of adjacent and
cascaded outputs, precharge options, and OLED moni-
toring capability, ensures uniform luminance and high-
quality greyscaling in both monochromatic and RGB
mode. This is the first ASSP production driver for OLED
module OEM's building a new standard in flat-panel dis-
plays.

PRELIMINARY ELECTRICAL DATA SHEET
Preliminary
This document is a specification for a digital data driver for Passive Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) and
Polymer Light Emitting displays (PLED, PolyLED, LEP, . . . ,etc) with anodes connected to the columns. The output
stage of each channel has a resistive switch to an on chip generated voltage used during precharge and a current
source used during data output to minimize non-uniformity caused by spatial and temporal variations of the LED
characteristics and by line resistances. The data driver chip is manufactured in a high voltage (30 V) CMOS process
and provided in bumped die and TCP (Tape Carrier Package) form.
Description of Operation:
Overview: The MXED102 is configured via a serial port, and pixel data is updated on a per-row basis via a parallel
data bus.
Dynamic Pixel Control: Gray-Scale Control data is loaded into the 6-bit Column Exposure Counters each row scan
time, while the previously loaded data is being output to the OLED Display Panel. The control data sets the expo-
sure time from 0 to 63 Exposure Clock times. Successive counters are accessed upon coincidence with the token
bit, which is shifted the length of the MXED102 by the Token Shift Clock. In 6-bit Data Mode, Databus C {DC(5-0)}
is used to enter per-pixel data, and the Token traverses length of the Chip in 240 Token Shift Clocks. In 18-bit Data
Mode, Databusses A, B, and C are used to load three successive pixels in parallel, and the Token traverses length
of the Chip in 80 Token Shift Clocks.
Chip Configuration: A display controller may use the serial bus to set the characteristics of all column driver ICs by
writing to all column driver ICs in parallel. During write, the controller writes the entire data packet. The controller
can also interrogate a single column driver IC, whose MASTER pin is pulled high. Only one column driver IC on a
given bus can be designated as master. During read, the controller writes the preamble, start of frame delimiter, reg-
ister address, and turn around bits. It then tri-states for the bus tri-state and data bits and reads the data.
Color/Monochrome: The MXED102 supports three-each interleaved column Current Magnitude settings and three
Precharge Voltages, A,B and C, which may be mapped to R,G,B. Monochrome mode is selected by setting the
Color control bit to zero, in which case the Current Magnitude and Precharge Voltage is common.

Description
High voltage supply A/B/C:
MXED102
Ground used to short output channels: There can be high currents on this line. It
should be separated from the circuit ground pads (GND) to prevent ground bounce.
Precharge A/B/C: Column precharge voltage outputs. PRECHA/B/C should be tied
to PRECHA/B/C of all other column drivers to ensure a uniform display precharge
and should be bypassed to ground with a capacitor at least 50 times the display
capacitance.
Master In: High input implies chip is master. This input is pulled low internally.
Master Out: MASTER_IN delayed by 1 LE clock cycle, sampled on rising edge of LE.
Reset Bar: Input signal used to reset digital logic for test purposes. This input is
pulled high internally.
Token Shift Clock: Input signal used to shift tokens down the length of the driver IC
and latch data into the corresponding columns. The direction of token shift is deter
mined by DIRTKN pin.
Left Token Bit: Input for shift right, output for shift left. Signal is used to pass the
tokens into and out of the driver IC. High state represents the presence of token.
Right Token Bit: Input for shift left, output for shift right. Signal is used to pass the
tokens into and out of the driver IC. High state represents the presence of token.
Token Direction Input: Input signal which, when high, causes the token to shift left to
right in the driver IC. A low signal causes the token to shift right to left. In the paral
lel data mode the token passes through the chip in 80 CLKSH clocks, in the serial
data mode the token passes through the chip in 240 CLKSH clocks. This input is
pulled high internally.
Latch Enable: Input signal used to begin data output. When data output begins, new
data input for the following row can begin.
Data A/B/C: Signal buses used to input the exposure data.

Exposure Clock: Input signal used to clock the driver IC's exposure counter from 0 to
63 for a row exposure. The signal must be cycled at least 64 times between LE
pulses to completely cycle the counter. Cycles of CLKEX beyond 64 will have no
effect.
Serial Clock: Clock to write serial data into all column drivers or read serial data from
the master column driver.
Serial Data: Serial data written to all column drivers or read from the master column
driver.
Initiate A/D sample. This input is pulled low internally.

Serial Configuration Bus:
Bus Operation:
The controller uses the serial bus to set the characteristics of all column driver ICs by writing to all column
driver ICs in parallel. During write, the controller writes the entire data packet. The controller can also inter
rogate a single column driver IC, who's MASTER pin is pulled high. Only 1 column driver IC on a given bus
can be designated as master. During read, the controller writes the preamble, start of frame delimiter, reg
ister address, and turn around bits. It then tri-states for the bus tri-state and data bits and reads the data.
Data Packet:
The data packet consists of:
- 14 bit preamble of all 1's
- 2 bit start of frame delimiter (SFD)
- 6 bit register address - MSB first
- 1 turn around bit (TA)
- 1 bus tristate (BT)
- 8 bit data packet - MSB first
Write => write data to all column driver ICs
Read => read data from master column driver IC
Data order => Preamble first, data last; MSB first, LSB last
