10-Bit, Programmable Gamma Reference
Systems with MTP for TFT LCDs
General Description
The MAX9672/MAX9673/MAX9674 output 12/14/16 volt-
age references for gamma correction in TFT LCDs and
one voltage reference for VCOM. Each gamma refer-
ence voltage has its own 10-bit DAC and buffer to
ensure a stable voltage. The VCOM reference voltage
has its own 10-bit DAC and an amplifier to ensure a sta-
ble voltage when critical levels and patterns are dis-
played. The MAX9672/MAX9673/MAX9674 feature
integrated multiple-time programmable (MTP) memory to
store gamma and VCOM values on the chip, eliminating
the need for external EEPROM. The MAX9672/
MAX9673/MAX9674 support up to 300 write operations
to the on-chip nonvolatile memory.
The gamma outputs can drive 200mA peak transient
current and settle within 1µs. The VCOM output can
provide 600mA peak transient current and also settles
within 1µs. The analog supply voltage range extends
from 9V to 20V, and the digital supply voltage range
extends from 2.7V to 3.6V.
Gamma values and the VCOM value are programmed
into registers through the I
2
C interface.
