PIN DESCRIPTIONS
SymbolPin NameI / ODescription
When these inputs operate as the input, the start pulse data is
read at the rising edge of shift clock, CPV.
When these inputs operate as the output, the start pulse output
is the next chip’s start pulse input. The output pulse is

at the falling edge of the 128th shift clock, CPV.
When U/D = H, the shift register does right shifting operation.
(Input = DI/O and output = DO/I)
When U/D = L, the shift register does left shifting operation.

This input controls the state of the driver outputs.
When OE = H, the driver output is fixed to VOFF.
When OE = L, the driver output is VGG or VOFF corresponding
to the data.
The output signals change in synchronization with the rising
edge of shift clock input, CPV.
The amplitude of the driver output is VGG - VOFF.
This input operates as the reference to the level conversion of
the other input.
The other logic input range: VDD - VLO
This input is logic and driver ground.
Always, has negative potential.

If the absolute maximum rating is exceeded momentarily, the quality of this product may be degraded.
It is desirable to use this product within the range of the absolute maximum ratings.
The power supplying order is as follows.
ON: VLO → VDD → VSS, VOFF → Control Input → VGG

OPERATION DESCRIPTION
OPERATION METHOD
The start pulse input, DI/O (when U/D is “H”) or DO/I (when U/D = “L”), is synchronized with the rising edge of
CPV and stored in the first shift register. While stored pulse is transferred to the next register at the next rising
edge of CPV, a new pulse is stored simultaneously. Output pin (G1 to G128) supplies VGG voltage or VOFF
voltage to the TFT-LCD panel depending on the pulse of the shift register.
The start pulse output, DO/I (when U/D is “H”) or DI/O (when U/D = “L”), is synchronized with the falling edge of
CPV and the pulse of the last register (G1 or G128) is transferred to the next IC. The voltage level of the start
pulse output is VDD with “H” data, VSS with “L” data
The relationship between U/D and shift data input / out pin is as follows:

OUTPUT PIN (G1 TO G128)
If the data of the shift register to an output drive pin is “H”, the voltage level of the output is VGG and if the data
is “L”, the level of the output is VOFF. But, when OE is “H”, the voltage level of the output is VOFF irrespective of
the data of the shift register.
