The VDAC Amp amplifies the voltage applied to REFIN by 0.5x and outputs it to the VDAC pin. Connect a 1 µF phase
compensation capacitor to the VDAC pin.
・DAC LOGIC
The DAC LOGIC converts the 10-bit digital signal read to the register to a voltage.
・Amp
The Amp amplifies the voltage output from the DAC LOGIC by 2x. Input includes a sample and hold function and is
refreshed by the OSC.
・OSC
The OSC generates the frequency that determines the Amp's refresh time.
External input can be selected using serial input. (For the BD8139AEFV, external input is selected using the external pin.)
・Power On Reset
When the digital power supply DVCC is activated, each IC generates a reset signal to initialize the serial interface,
auto-read functionality, and registers.
Adding a 1,000 pF capacitor to the CT pin ensures that reset operation can be performed reliably, without regard to the
speed with which the power supply starts up.
・TSD (Thermal Shut Down)
The TSD circuit turns output off when the chip temperature reaches or exceeds approximately 175°C in order to prevent
thermal destruction or thermal runaway. When the chip returns to a specified temperature, the circuit resets.
The TSD circuit is designed only to protect the IC itself. Application thermal design should ensure operation of the IC
below the thermal shutdown detection temperature of approximately 175°C.
・Register
A serial signal (consisting of 10-bit gamma correction voltage values) input using the serial interface or I
held for each register address. Data is initialized by the reset signal generated during a power-on reset.
・Serial I/F(BD8132FV)
The serial interface uses a 3-line serial data format (LATCH, CLK, SDIN). It is used to set gamma correction voltages,
specify register addresses, and select OSC I/O.
・2 wire serial I/F(BD8139AEFV)
The serial interface uses a 2-line serial data format (SCL, SDA). It is used to set gamma correction voltages and specify
register addresses.
・Autoread
The BD8132FV uses the R/W, CLK, CS, and MEMDO pins to enable automatic reading of the IC's 1 kbit microwire type
external memory.
The BD8139AEFV uses the SCL and SDA pins to enable automatic reading of the 2 wire serial bus format external
memory.
The serial data control block consists of a register that stores data from the LATCH, CLK, and SDIN pins, and a DAC circuit
that receives the output from this register and provides adjusted voltages to other IC blocks.
When the IC's power supply is activated, the reset function operates to set the register to a preset value. The first bit is for
testing use only and should always be set to 0. The next bit is used to select the OSC mode. Inputting a value of 0 selects
internal frequency mode and uses a frequency of 80 kHz. Entering a value of 1 selects external frequency mode. Input an
external clock signal from the OSC pin.

(1) Serial communications timing
The 17-bit serial data input from the SDIN pin is read into the shift register using the rising edge of the signal input to the
CLK pin. This data is then loaded to the DAC register using the rising edge of the signal input to the LATCH pin.
If the data loaded into the shift register while the LATCH pin is low consists of less than 17 bits, the loaded data is
discarded. If the data exceeds 17 bits, the last 17 bits to be loaded are treated as valid.

(2) Serial data
The following table illustrates the format of serial data input to the SDIN pin.
First →→Last
The auto-read function enables the IC's 1 kbit microwire type external memory to be automatically read.
This block operates in synchronization with the external input CLK's falling edge to output the external memory chip select
signal CS as well as the memory read data signal MEMDO.
The read data signal consists of a start bit for the external memory, a read code, and a read address. When this signal is sent
to the external memory, the memory outputs the data corresponding to the indicated address. Data output from the memory
is read from the MEMDI pin, and this block automatically generates the serial DATA and LATCH signals and writes the
memory data to the register. Memory reads are synchronized to the CLK's falling edge.
Read addresses start from address 00H and repeat until address 12H, so data must be stored from address 00H to address 12H.
The auto-read function is controlled using the R/W signal. Read access to the external memory is performed continuously
while the R/W signal is low. To access the external memory from another device, the R/W signal must be set to high. When
the R/W signal is set to high, the CS and MEMDO pins enter a high-impedance state.

●Gamma correction output setting (BD8132FV and BD8139AEFV)
Equation (1) describes the relationship between the gamma correction output voltage (V0 to VH) and the DAC setting.
Output voltage (V0 to VH) = [(DAC setting + 1) / 1,024] (REFIN / 2) 2 (1)
The Vcom voltage can be set by attaching resistor R1 between the Vcom and FB pins and resistor R2 between the FB and
GND pins.Equation (2) describes the relationship between the Vcom voltage and the DAC setting when using these resistors.
Output voltage (Vcom) = [(DAC setting + 1) / 1,024] (REFIN / 2) (R1 + R2) / R2 (2)

●Power supply sequence
Activate the digital power supply DV
CC before the VCC power supply to prevent IC malfunctions due to undefined logic in the digital
circuit. Input serial data after canceling the power-on reset. When turning off the IC's power supplies, turn off VCC and then DVCC.
The 2 wire serial control block consists of a register that stores data from the SCL and SDA pins and a DAC circuit that
receives the output from this register and provides adjusted voltages to other IC blocks.
When the IC's power supply is activated, the reset function operates to set the register to a preset value.
Of device addresses A7 to A0, A7 to A3 and A0 are specific to the gamma correction voltage generation IC and should
be set as follows: (A7 to A0) = 11101(A2)(A1)0.
A1 and A2 can be set externally. Because these signals are pulled down internally, they are set to 0 when in the open
state. When setting them to 1, connect them to the DVcc power supply. For this reason, A1 and A2 can be used to
create 4 setting combinations. When using only slave mode, a maximum of 4 BD8139AEFV ICs can be connected to
the 2 wire serial line.
The lower 4 bits of the second byte are used to store the register address. The following table describes the
correspondence between register addresses and amp output. The third and fourth bytes are used to store the gamma
correction voltage setting. The LSB acts as a parity check bit. The method for setting the LSB is described below.

Auto-read mode (SLAVE/AR = high)
The auto-read function enables automatic reading of the I
2
C bus interface's 1 kbit built-in memory.
When the reset signal is cleared, automatic reads from EEPROM begin.
In auto-read mode, A1 and A2 serve as the EEPROM word address setting pins.
When A1 and A2 are both set to low, read access is available for word addresses 0 through 21.
A2 A1 Read start word address Read end word address
L L 0 (00h) 21 (h)
H L 32 (20h) 53 (35h)
L H 64 (40h) 85 (55h)

Vcom
The first and second words are used for the V0 setting, while the third and fourth words are used for the V1 setting. Including
the Vcom setting, a total of 22 words of data are read. The LSB for all words contains an even parity check (PC). The LSBs
for all EPROM data settings should be set. (Where the number 1 represents an even number.)
Only the EEPROM device address A3 = A2 = A1 = low is supported.
The auto-read function specifies the read start word address in EEPROM write mode. Then after resending the start signal,
the data is read in read mode. When the parity check detects an error, a stop signal is sent and the auto-read function is
repeated until no error is detected.If the auto-read function never completes, the EEPROM data settings should be reviewed.
・When operating in auto-read mode, a maximum of 2 BD8139AEFV ICs (A and B) can be connected to the I2C bus line.
When using 2 ICs, change the CT pin capacitance value to avoid auto-read timing collisions. The following figure
illustrates auto-read timing when using 2 ICs.

It is possible for reverse of voltage in transition.
1) Absolute maximum ratings
Use of the IC in excess of absolute maximum ratings such as the applied voltage or operating temperature range may
result in IC damage. Assumptions should not be made regarding the state of the IC (short mode or open mode) when such
damage is suffered. A physical safety measure such as a fuse should be implemented when use of the IC in a special
mode where the absolute maximum ratings may be exceeded is anticipated.
2) GND potential
Ensure a minimum GND pin potential in all operating conditions.
3) Setting of heat
Use a thermal design that allows for a sufficient margin in light of the power dissipation (Pd) in actual operating conditions.
4) Pin short and mistake fitting
Use caution when orienting and positioning the IC for mounting on printed circuit boards. Improper mounting may result in
damage to the IC. Shorts between output pins or between output pins and the power supply and GND pins caused by the
presence of a foreign object may result in damage to the IC.
5) Actions in strong magnetic field
Use caution when using the IC in the presence of a strong magnetic field as doing so may cause the IC to malfunction.
6) Testing on application boards
When testing the IC on an application board, connecting a capacitor to a pin with low impedance subjects the IC to stress.
Always discharge capacitors after each process or step. Ground the IC during assembly steps as an antistatic measure,
and use similar caution when transporting or storing the IC. Always turn the IC's power supply off before connecting it to or
removing it from a jig or fixture during the inspection process.
7) Ground wiring patterns
When using both small signal and large current GND patterns, it is recommended to isolate the two ground patterns,
placing a single ground point at the application's reference point so that the pattern wiring resistance and voltage
variations caused by large currents do not cause variations in the small signal ground voltage. Be careful not to change the
GND wiring patterns of any external components.
8) Regarding input pin of the IC
This monolithic IC contains P+ isolation and P substrate layers between adjacent elements in order to keep them isolated.
P/N junctions are formed at the intersection of these P layers with the N layers of other elements to create a variety of
parasitic elements.For example, when the resistors and transistors are connected to the pins as shown in Fig.39, a
parasitic diode or a transistor operates by inverting the pin voltage and GND voltage.The formation of parasitic elements
as a result of the relationships of the potentials of different pins is an inevitable result of the IC's architecture. The
operation of parasitic elements can cause interference with circuit operation as well as IC malfunction and damage. For
these reasons, it is necessary to use caution so that the IC is not used in a way that will trigger the operation of parasitic
elements, such as the application of voltages lower than the GND (P substrate) voltage to input and output pins.

9) Overcurrent protection circuits
An overcurrent protection circuit designed according to the output current is incorporated for the prevention of IC damage
that may result in the event of load shorting. This protection circuit is effective in preventing damage due to sudden and
unexpected accidents. However, the IC should not be used in applications characterized by the continuous operation or
transitioning of the protection circuits. At the time of thermal designing, keep in mind that the current capacity has negative
characteristics to temperatures.
10) TSD (Thermal shutdown) circuit
This IC incorporates a built-in TSD circuit for the protection from thermal destruction. The IC should be used within the
specified power dissipation range. However, in the event that the IC continues to be operated in excess of its power
dissipation limits, the attendant rise in the chip'
s junction temperature Tj will trigger the TSD circuit to turn off all output
power elements. The circuit automatically resets once the junction temperature Tj drops.
Operation of the TSD circuit presumes that the IC's absolute maximum ratings have been exceeded. Application designs
should never make use of the TSD circuit.
11) Testing on application boards
At the time of inspection of the installation boards, when the capacitor is connected to the pin with low impedance, be sure
to discharge electricity per process because it may load stresses to the IC. Always turn the IC's power supply off before
connecting it to or removing it from a jig or fixture during the inspection process. Ground the IC during assembly steps as
an antistatic measure, and use similar caution when transporting or storing the IC.
