The AD8381 provides a fast, 10-bit latched decimating digital
input, which drives six high voltage outputs. Ten-bit input
words are sequentially loaded into six separate high-speed, bipolar
DACs. Flexible digital input format allows several AD8381s to be
used in parallel for higher resolution displays. STSQ synchronizes
sequential input loading, XFR controls synchronous output
updating and R/L controls the direction of loading as either
Left to Right or Right to Left. Six channels of high voltage
output drivers drive to within 1.3 V of the rail in rated settling
time. The output signal can be adjusted for brightness, signal
inversion and contrast for maximum flexibility.
The AD8381 is fabricated on ADI’s proprietary, fast bipolar
24 V process, providing fast input logic, bipolar DACs with
trimmed accuracy and fast settling, high voltage precision drive
amplifiers on the same chip.
The AD8381 dissipates 570 mW nominal static power. STBY
pin reduces power to a minimum, with fast recovery.
The AD8381 is offered in a 48-lead 7

0°C to 85°C.

Stresses above those listed under the Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause
permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation
of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the
operational section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to the absolute
maximum ratings for extended periods may reduce device reliability.

The maximum power that can be safely dissipated by the AD8381
is limited by its junction temperature. The maximum safe junc-
tion temperature for plastic encapsulated devices is determined
by the glass transition temperature of the plastic, approximately
150°C. Exceeding this limit temporarily may cause a shift in the
parametric performance due to a change in the stresses exerted
on the die by the package. Exceeding a junction temperature of
175°C for an extended period can result in device failure.
To ensure proper operation within the specified operating tem-
perature range, it is necessary to limit the maximum power
dissipation as follows:
P
DMAX
= (T
JMAX
–
T

)/θ
JA
where

= 150°C.

Overload Protection
The AD8381 employs a two-stage overload protection circuit
that consists of an output current limiter and a thermal shutdown.
The maximum current at any one output of the AD8381 is
internally limited to 100 mA average. In the event of a momen-
tary short-circuit between a video output and a power supply rail
(VCC or AGND), the output current limit is sufficiently low to
provide temporary protection.
The thermal shutdown “debiases” the output amplifier when the
junction temperature reaches the internally set trip point. In the
event of an extended short-circuit between a video output and a
power supply rail, the output amplifier current continues to
switch between 0 mA and 100 mA typ with a period determined by
the thermal time constant and the hysteresis of the thermal trip
point. The thermal shutdown provides long term protection by
limiting the average junction temperature to a safe level.
Recovery from a momentary short-circuit is fast, approximately
100 ns. Recovery from a thermal shutdown is slow and is
dependent on the ambient temperature.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although
the AD8381 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on
devices subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are
recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

Data Input
Even/Odd Select
10-Bit Data Input MSB = DB (9).
The active CLK edge is the rising edge when this input is held HIGH
and it is the falling edge when this input is held LOW.
Data is loaded sequentially on the rising edges of CLK when this input
is HIGH and loaded on the falling edges when this input is LOW.
A new data loading sequence begins on the left, with Channel 0, when this
input is LOW, and on the right, with Channel 5 when this input is HIGH.
When this pin is HIGH, the analog output voltages are above VMID.
When LOW, the analog output voltages are below VMID.
This pin is normally connected to the analog ground plane.
Digital Power Supply.
Analog Power Supplies.
When HIGH, the internal circuits are “debiased” and the power
dissipation drops to a minimum.
A 0.1
µF
capacitor connected between this pin and AGND ensures
optimum settling time.
These pins are normally connected to the analog ground plane.
These pins are directly connected to the analog inputs of the LCD panel.
The voltage applied between this pin and AGND sets the midpoint
reference of the analog outputs. This pin is normally connected to VCOM.
The voltage applied between Pins 39 and 40 sets the full-scale output voltage.
The voltage applied between Pins 39 and 40 sets the full-scale output voltage.
A new data loading sequence begins on the rising edge of CLK when
this input was HIGH on the preceding rising edge of CLK and the E/O
input is held HIGH.
A new data loading sequence begins on the falling edge of CLK when
this input was HIGH on the preceding falling edge of CLK and the E/O
input is held LOW.
Data is transferred to the outputs on the immediately following falling
edge of CLK when this input is HIGH on the rising edge of CLK.
