The ADD8704 is a single-supply quad operational amplifier that
has been optimized for today’s low cost TFT LCD notebook and
monitor panels. Output channels A and D swing to the rail for
use as end-point gamma references. Output channels B and C
provide high continuous and peak current drive for use as V
or repair amplifiers; they can also be used as midpoint gamma
references. All four amplifiers have excellent transient response
and have high slew rate and capacitive load drive capability. The
ADD8704 is specified over the –40°C to +85°C temperature
range and is available in either a 14-lead TSSOP or a 16-lead
LFCSP package for thin, portable applications.

ESD 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 this part 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.
Stresses above those listed under 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 sections of this specification is not implied.
Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may
affect device reliability.

ADD8704
APPLICATION INFORMATION
THEORY
The ADD8704 is designed for use in LCD gamma correction
circuits. Depending on the panel architecture, between 4 and 18
different gamma voltages may be needed. These gamma
voltages provide the reference voltages for the column driver
RDACs. Due to the capacitive nature of LCD panels, it is
necessary for these drivers to provide high capacitive load drive.
In addition to providing gamma reference voltages, these parts
are also capable of providing the V
voltage. V
COM
center voltage common to all the LCD pixels. Since the V
circuit is common to all the pixels in the panel, the V
is designed to supply continuous currents up to 35 mA.
INPUT
The ADD8704 has four amplifiers specifically designed for the
needs of an LCD panel. F shows a typical gamma
correction curve for a normally white twisted nematic LCD
panel. The symmetric curve comes from the need to reverse the
polarity on the LC pixels to avoid “burning” in the image. The
application therefore requires gamma voltages that come close
to both supply rails. To accommodate this transfer function, the
ADD8704 has been designed to have four different amplifiers in
one package.

COM
Amplifier C is a rail-to-rail input range that makes the
ADD8704 suitable for use anywhere on the RDAC as well as for
V
applications.
COM
Amplifier D has an NPN follower input stage. This covers the
upper rail to GND plus 1.7 V. This amplifier is suitable for the
upper range of the RDAC.
OUTPUT
The outputs of the amplifiers have been designed to match the
performance needs of the gamma correction circuit. All four of
the amplifiers have rail-to-rail outputs, but the current drive
capabilities differ. Since amplifier A is suited for voltages close
(GND), the output is designed to sink more current than
to V
SS
it sources; it can sink 15 mA of continuous current. Likewise,
since amplifier D is primarily used for voltages close to V
sources more current. Amplifier D can source 15 mA of
continuous current. Amplifiers B and C are designed for use as
either midrange gamma or V
amplifiers. They therefore sink
COM
and source equal amounts of current. Since they are used as
amplifiers, they have a drive capability of up to 35 mA of
V
COM
continuous current.
The nature of LCD panels introduces a large amount of
parasitic capacitance from the column drivers as well as the
capacitance associated with the liquid crystals via the common
plane. This makes capacitive drive capability an important
factor when designing the gamma correction circuit.

Amplifier A has a single-supply PNP input stage followed by a
folded cascode stage. This provides an input range that goes to
the bottom rail. This amplifier can therefore be used to provide
the bottom voltage on the RDAC string.
Amplifier B (PNP folded cascode) swings to the low rail as well,
but it provides 35 mA continuous output current versus 15 mA.
This buffer is suitable for lower RDAC range, middle RDAC
range, or V
applications.
COM
IMPORTANT NOTE
Because of the asymmetric nature of amplifiers A and D, care
must be taken to connect an input that forces the amplifiers to
operate in their most productive output states. Amplifier D has
very limited sink capabilities, while amplifier A does not source
well. If more than one ADD8704 is used, set the amplifier D
input to enable the amplifier output to source current and set
the amplifier A input to force a sinking output current. This
means making sure the input is above the midpoint of the
common-mode input range for amplifier D and below the
midpoint for amplifier A. Mathematically speaking, make sure
> VS/2 for amplifier D and VIN < VS/2 for amplifier A.
V
IN
Figure 37 shows an example using 4 ADD8704s to generate 10
gamma outputs. Note that the top three resistor tap-points are
connected to the amplifier D inputs, thus assuring these
channels will source current. Likewise, the bottom three resistor
tap-points are connected to the amplifier A inputs to provide
sinking output currents.
