MSM6778
120-DOT COMMON DRIVER (TAB)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MSM6778 is a dot-matrix LCD common driver. Fabricated in CMOS technology, the device
contains two 60-bit bidirectional shift registers, two 60-bit level shifters, and two 60-bit 4-level
drivers.
The MSM6778 has 120 LCD outputs. The number of LCD outputs can be increased by cascading
MSM6778 devices, using cascade-connected I/O pins. The bias voltage which specifies a drive
level can optionally be supplied externally. The MSM6778 is suitable for various types of LCD
panel.
FEATURES
• Logic supply voltage : 2.7 V to 5.5 V
• LCD drive voltage : A wide range from 18 V to 28 V
• Applicable LCD duty : 1/100 to 1/256
• The bias voltage can be externally supplied.
• Structure:
35mm-wide Tape Automated Bonding (TAB) film (Product name: MSM6778AV-Z-01)

• CP
This is a clock pulse input for the two 60-bit bidirectional shift registers. Scan data is shifted at
the falling edge of a clock pulse.
• DF
This is a synchronous signal input for alternate signal for LCD driving.
• DISPOFF
This is an input used to control the output levels of O1 to O

These are outputs for the 4-level drivers, which correspond directly to each bit of the shift
register. One of the four levels V1, V2, V5, and VEE is selected and output depending on the
combination of the shift register data and a DF signal. See the Truth Table.

NOTES ON USE (when turning the power ON or OFF)
The LCD drivers of this IC require a high voltage. For this reason, if a high voltage is applied to
the LCD drivers with the logic power supply floating, excess current flows. This may damage
the IC.
Be sure to follow the sequence below when turning the power ON or OFF.
Power ON : Logic circuits ON Æ LCD drivers ON, or both ON at a time
Power OFF : LCD drivers OFF Æ logic circuits OFF, or both OFF at a time
