PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD8383 provides a fast, 10-bit latched decimating digital
input that drives six high voltage outputs. 10-bit input words are
sequentially loaded into six separate, high speed, bipolar DACs.
Flexible digital input format allows several AD8383s 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. For maximum flexibility,
the output signal can be adjusted for dc reference, signal
inversion.

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
AD8383 is limited by its junction temperature. The maximum
safe junction temperature for plastic encapsulated devices as
determined by the glass transition temperature of the plastic is
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.
Overload Protection
The AD8383 employs a 2-stage overload protection circuit that
consists of an output current limiter and a thermal shutdown.
The maximum current at any one output of the AD8383 is
internally limited to 100 mA, average. In the event of a momentary short-circuit between a video output and a power supply
rail (AVCC 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 typical with a period
determined by the thermal time constant and the hysteresis of
the thermal trip point. The thermal shutdown provides longterm protection by limiting the average junction temperature to
a safe level.
Operating Temperature Range
Production testing guarantees a minimum thermal shutdown
junction temperature (T
) of at least 125°C.

accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although
this product features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices

THEORY OF OPERATION
TRANSFER FUNCTION AND ANALOG OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The DecDriver has two regions of operation: where the video
output voltages are either above or below a reference voltage
VMID, and where VMID = (V1 + V2)/2. The transfer function
defines the analog output voltage as the function of the digital
input code as follows:

To best correlate transfer function errors to image artifacts, the
overall accuracy of the DecDriver is defined by two parameters,
VDE and VCME.

between the rms value of the output and the rms value of the

EXTERNAL VBIAS GENERATION
In systems that require improved brightness resolution and
higher accuracy, the V1 and V2 inputs, connected to external
voltage references, provide the necessary VBIAS while allowing
the full code range to be used for gamma correction.
V1 sets the white drive voltage while INV = LOW and V2 sets
the white drive voltage while INV = HIGH. V1 and V2 are
defined as
V1 = VCOM – VBIAS
V2 = VCOM + VBIAS
To ensure a symmetrical ac driving voltage, the difference
between V2 and VCOM must be equal to the difference
between VCOM and V1.
(V2 – VCOM) = (VCOM – V1)
The circuit in Figure 8 ensures symmetry to within 1 mV with a
minimum component count. Bypass capacitors are not shown
for clarity.
The transfer function and the input symmetry error of the
AD8383 are shown in Figure 9 when the circuit of Figure 8 is
used to generate VBIAS.

AD8383
PCB DESIGN FOR GOOD THERMAL PERFORMANCE
The total maximum power dissipation of the AD8383 is partly
dependent on load. In a 6-channel 60 Hz XGA system running
at a 65 MHz clock rate, the total maximum power dissipation is
1.08 W at an LCD panel input capacitance of 150 pF.
At the maximum specified clock rate of 100 Ms/s, the total
maximum power dissipation can exceed 2 W for large capacitive
loads, as shown in Table 4.
Although the maximum safe operating junction temperature is
higher, the AD8383 is 100% tested at a junction temperature of
125°C. Consequently, the maximum guaranteed operating
junction temperature is 125°C. To limit the maximum junction
temperature at or below the guaranteed maximum, the package,
in conjunction with the PCB, must effectively conduct heat
away from the junction.
The AD8383’s LFCSP package is designed to provide superior
thermal characteristics, partly achieved by an exposed die
paddle on the bottom surface of the package. In order to take
full advantage of this feature, the exposed paddle must be in
direct thermal contact with the PCB, which then serves as a
heat sink.
THERMAL PAD DESIGN
Thermal performance of the AD8383 varies logarithmically
with the contact area between the exposed thermal paddle and
the thermal pad on the top layer of the PCB. See Figure 11.
The θ
(of the AD8383 mounted on a standard JEDEC PCB) is
JA
reduced by approximately 40% as the contact area increases
from 0% (no thermal pad) to 50%. It approaches its specified
value as the contact area (on the JEDEC standard PCB)
approaches 100%.
In order to minimize thermal performance degradation of
production PCBs, the contact area between the thermal pad and
the PCB should be maximized. Therefore, the size of the
thermal pad should match the exposed 5.25 mm × 5.25 mm
paddle size. However, if the PCB design rules require a pad-topad clearance of more than 0.3 mm, the size of the thermal pad
may be reduced to 5 mm × 5 mm. Additionally, a second
thermal pad of the same size should be placed on the bottom
side of the PCB. At least one thermal pad should be in direct
thermal (and electrical) contact with the AVCC plane.
50
A thermally effective PCB must incorporate a thermal pad and
45
a thermal via structure. The thermal pad provides a solderable
contact surface on the top surface of the PCB. The thermal via
structure provides a thermal path to the inner and bottom
layers of the PCB to remove heat.

Effective heat transfer from the top to the inner and bottom

SOLDER MASKING
To minimize the formation of solder voids due to solder flowing
into the via holes (solder wicking), the via diameter should be
small. Solder masking of the via holes on the top layer of the
PCB plugs the via holes, inhibiting solder flow into the holes. To
optimize the thermal pad coverage, the solder mask diameter
should be no more than 0.1 mm larger than the via diameter.

Assuming no heat flows through the sides of the AD8383 package, heat flow from the AD8383 is through two paths. While
part of the total heat generated dissipates through the top of the
case, the remainder flows into the PCB to be dissipated.
Assuming there is no other heat-generating component near the
AD8383, the thermal equivalent circuit of a system that consists
of one AD8383 mounted on a PCB is shown in Figure 14.

Verification of the Maximum Operating Junction
Temperature
In order to verify the system thermal design for compliance
with the maximum operating junction temperature specification, temperature measurements T
CASE
and T
are required at
PCB
the maximum possible total power dissipation in a complete,
fully assembled LCD projection system.
Maximum possible total power dissipation of the AD8383
occurs when the video input to the projector is a pattern with
1-pixel-wide white and black vertical lines. An alternative
pattern that results in the maximum possible total power
dissipation is a 1-pixel checkerboard pattern. The expected total
power dissipation of the AD8383 in a 60 Hz, 6-channel XGA
projector displaying the 1-pixel-wide vertical line or checkerboard pattern is 1.08 W (at AVCC = 15.5 V, VCOM = 7 V, and
LCD capacitance = 150 pF).
Although the case and PCB temperatures are highly dependent
on the PCB design, their measured values are expected to be
similar at approximately 40°C above the ambient (on a typical
PCB with a minimal airflow whose thermal design follows the
recommendations described in this note). The junction temperature then calculates to approximately 10°C above the case and
PCB temperatures. At a 70°C ambient temperature, the junction
temperature is expected to be at approximately 120°C.
The AD8383 has a relatively small thermal mass. In order to
minimize measurement errors due to the thermal mass of the
measuring device, a small-gauge thermocouple or a thermal
probe with a very small thermal mass is required for the measurement of T
CASE
and T
PCB
.
Power-Up and Power-Down Sequencing
As indicated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, the voltage at
any input pin cannot exceed its supply voltage by more than
0.5 V. To ensure compliance with the Absolute Maximum
Ratings, power-up and power-down sequencing may be
required.
During power-up, initial application of nonzero voltages to any
of the input pins must be delayed until the supply voltage ramps
up to at least the highest maximum operational input voltage.
During power-down, the voltage at any input pin must reach
zero during a period not exceeding the hold-up time of the
power supply.
Failure to comply with the Absolute Maximum Ratings may
result in functional failure or damage to the internal ESD
diodes.
Damaged ESD diodes may cause temporary parametric failures,
which may result in image artifacts. Damaged ESD diodes
cannot provide full ESD protection, thus reducing reliability.
The recommended sequence is
Power ON
1. Apply power to supplies.
2. Apply power to other I/Os.
Power OFF
1. Remove power from I/Os.
2. Remove power from supplies.
VBIAS Generation—V1, V2 Input Pin Functionality
In order to avoid image flicker, a bias voltage of approximately
1 V minimum must be maintained across the pixels of HTPS
LCDs. The AD8383 provides two methods of maintaining this
bias voltage.
Internal Bias Voltage Generation
Standard systems that internally generate the bias voltage
reserve the upper-most code range for the bias voltage and use
the remaining code range to encode the video for gamma
correction.
