GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADD8702 is a low cost, mask programmable, 12-channel
gamma reference generator, plus an adjustable V
driver. This
COM
part is designed to provide gamma correction for high resolution
TFT LCD panels. The 12 gamma reference levels and V
COM
are
mask programmable to 0.3% resolution using the on-chip 500
chain resistor string. This reduces component and board costs.
The ADD8702 provides a complete programmed set of gamma
voltage references for the LCD source drivers. These references
settle quickly to load change. The V
output is stable with
COM
high capacitive loads and can source or sink 250 mA peak current. The V
output level can be adjusted using an external
COM
trim-potentiometer or discrete resistors.

The output pins are compatible with the ADD8701. This allows
for single board design and fast turns for prototyping using the
initial ADD8701 board design.
The ADD8702 is specified over the temperature range of –40°C
to +85°C and comes in the 32-lead lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP) for compact board space.

ψJB is applied for calculating the junction temperature by reference to the board
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
ADD8702 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.

Figure 2. Bandwidth Measurement Information
Panel size and resolution determine the number of gamma
reference voltages required. For a 256-grayscale level, 8-bit color
scheme, 6 ⫻ 2 external reference nodes should be sufficient to
match the characteristics of the LCD driver to the characteristics
of the actual LCD panel for improved picture quality. External
reference gamma correction voltages are often generated using
a simple resistor ladder. Using the ADD8702, the resistor
ladder is incorporated in the IC for reduced cost and number
of components.

Figure 3. Transient Load Regulation Test Circuit
The ADD8702 is designed to meet the rail-to-rail capability
needed by the application, yet offers the lowest cost per channel
solution. The ADD8702 gamma buffers offer 10 mA continuous
drive current capability. To be more competitive, the design
maximizes the die area by allowing specific channels to swing to
the positive rail and negative rail. So it is imperative that the
channels swinging close to the supply rail be used for the positive gamma references and the channels swinging close to GND
be used for the negative gamma references. The V
buffer can
COM
handle up to 35 mA continuous output current and can drive up
to 1,000 pF pure capacitive load. Provision is available to adjust
the V
voltage to a desired level. Refer to Figure 4 for an
COM
example of an application circuit for adjusting the output of the
buffer.
