PD16724
480-OUTPUT TFT-LCD SOURCE DRIVER
(COMPATIBLE WITH 256-GRAY SCALE)
DESCRIPTION
The
µ
PD16724 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 9-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. It corresponds to the 2 x 2-dot inversion drive at the time of single-
sided mounting. The maximum clock frequency is 55 MHz when driving at 3.0 V.

The shift direction control pin of shift register. The shift directions of the shift
registers are as follows.
R,/L = H (right shift) : STHR (input)

(output)
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 high level is read at the rising edge of
CLK.
A high level should be input as the pulse of one cycle of the clock signal.
If the start pulse input is more than 2 CLK, the first 1 CLK of the high-level
input is valid.
STHL
Left shift start pulse
I/O
At the rising edge of the 80th clock after the start pulse input, the start pulse
output reaches the high level, thus becoming the start pulse of the next-level
driver. The high-level width outputted is 1 CLK.
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.
If 82 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.
SRC1
Slew rate control 1
Input
SRC1 is good at the time of MODE2 = H. SRC1 is pulled up to the V
DD1
in the
IC.
SRC1 = H: High slew rate mode (large current consumption)
SRC1 = L: Low slew rate mode (small current consumption)
Refer to
6. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MODE2, SRC1 AND SRC2
for
details.
SRC2
Slew rate control 2
Input
SRC2 is good at the time of MODE2 = L or open. SRC2 is pulled down to the
V
SS1
in the IC.
SRC2 = H: High slew rate period is twice the STB width from STB rising.
SRC2 = L or open: High slew rate period is 3 times the STB width from STB
rising.
Refer to
6. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MODE2, SRC1 AND SRC2
for
details.

Input of the POL signal is allowed the setup time (t

) with respect to STB’s
rising edge.
MODE1 = H or open:
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 during
STB = H. Refer to
7. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MODE, STB, SRC, ORC,
POL AND OUTPUT WAVEFORM
for details.
MODE1
Output reset control
Input
MODE1 is pulled up to the V

MODE2
Slew rate control
mode switching
Input
MODE2 is pulled down to the V
SS1

good).
