Relationship between the data input and the analog output pins
The input mode used by this IC is a two-pixel mode in which the data for two pixels is input in parallel from the D0(7:0),
D1(7:0), D2(7:0), D3(7:0), D4(7:0), and D5(7:0) input ports.
The correspondence between the data input ports and the output pins is as follows.
Y(6n−5) = D00 to D07Y(6n−2) = D30 to D37
Y(6n−4) = D10 to D17Y(6n−1) = D40 to D47
Y(6n−3) = D20 to D27Y(6n)= D50 to D57(n = 1, 2, ······, 64)
Figure 1 shows an example of color data and pin connections when RL is high.
This example shows the case where the pixels are in the order R, B, G starting at the left edge of the LCD panel.

Dot inversion drive
Since dot inversion drive is used, the analog output voltages with respect to the opposite electrode voltage differ in polarity
for each of the odd and even numbered output pins. This output voltage polarity is controlled by POL. The table below
lists the correspondence between the POL polarity setting, the analog output polarity and the VREF used.
POLY2n-1Y2n
"L"
"H"
The POL switching timing is presented below.
POL should be switched during the period when A is low, after the last data has been input, and before the next start
signal has been input. The POL signal level is acquired by the device internally on the falling edge of the A signal. The
output polarity is determined by the acquired signal level.

Dot inversion drive (continued)
Next we describe dot inversion drive operation.
The symbol "+" here means a voltage that is positive with respect to the voltage on the opposite electrode, and "−" means
a voltage that is negative with respect to the voltage on the opposite electrode.
The figure below shows the dot inversion drive operation.
Since POL is low in the first line of the first field, Y1 will be + and Y2 will be −, that is, odd-numbered output pins
will have positive polarity and even-numbered output pins will have negative polarity.
Since POL is switched to high for the second line, odd-numbered output pins will have negative polarity and evennumbered output pins will have positive polarity.
Thereafter, the polarity of the output voltages is determined by the POL polarity.
In the second field, the POL polarity will be the opposite of what it was for the first field, so the output voltage polarities
will be reversed.

When RL is high:
Driver A acquires the PLSR start pulse on the rising edge of FY and starts acquiring data on the next FY rising edge.
The PRSL (carry) output will go high 64 clock pulses after the start pulse input and data acquisition will stop one clock
cycle later.
Driver B receives the driver A PRSL rising edge and starts accepting data one clock cycle later.

The IC outputs voltages with discrete values and differing polarities for the odd and even output pins with respect to
the common electrode. The output voltage is determined by the input data value, the γ correction voltages (VREF0 to

Relationship between input data values and output voltages (continued)
Apply the voltages for the γ correction to the pins VREF0 to VREF9.
The γ correction voltage input pins are divided into two groups: the high-level output control group and the low-level
output control group, and each group is connected in series with resistors. Each of these resistor series has a total
typical value of 14 kΩ.
This structure is shown in the figure. The typical values of the resistors are shown in parentheses.
Note that since these voltages are resistor divided internally, the voltages applied to the VREF pins should be applied
through a low-impedance circuit. If the voltages are directly applied by the resistor divider, the desired output voltages
may not result.

Relationship between the A signal, the image input timing, and the start pulse
The figure below shows the relationship between the A signal, the image data input timing, and the start pulse.
The last data of the image should be input within one clock cycle of the fall of the A signal. Data input two or more clock
cycles later will not be transmitted to the analog outputs and the IC will not be able to output the correct analog voltage.
And also hold the levels of the data bus fixed from 1 µs before the rise of the A signal until 4 clock cycles after the rise
of the A signal. The output analog voltages may be displaced or shifted if the data bus levels are changed with that
timing.

Data inversion control function
All the bits in the input image data can be inverted at the same time, thus creating new data values to be used by controlling
the INV1 and INV2 pins.
INV1 inverts the D0(7:0), D1(7:0), and D2(7:0) data and INV2 inverts the D3(7:0), D4(7:0), and D5(7:0) data.
The figure below shows the inversion control provided by INV1 and INV2 for the input image data.
The input image data and the INV1 and INV2 states are acquired on the same clock cycle, and the data is controlled by
the INV1 and INV2 logic states at that time.

Possible periods of the clock stop
The possible periods of the clock stop in which clock has been stopped are shown below.
The clock signal must be provided during the period starting one clock cycle before the start pulse input and ending 5
clock cycles after the rise of the A signal.
However, if it is not the case that the first data is input with the next clock timing (T) after the input of the start pulse,
the clock may be stopped during the period between the start pulse input and the start of data input. The clock signal
may be stopped at either the high or low level.

Note) *1: The starting point is at the rise of the first clock cycle after the rise of the PRSL (PLSR) signal.
*2 : Stipulated as the value until the drive output voltage reaches the target output voltage ±20 mV (not including the
deviation).
