DESCRIPTION
The µPD160040A is a source driver for TFT-LCDs capable of dealing with displays with 256-gray scales. 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 VSS2 + 0.2 V to VDD2 – 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 voltages of differing polarity.
