KS0668 6 BIT 384 CHANNEL TFT-LCD SOURCE DRIVER
INTRODUCTION
The KS0668 is a 384 channel output, TFT-LCD source driver for an 64 gray-scale LCD panel. Data input is based
on digital input consisting of 6 bits by 6 dots, which can realize a full-color display of 260,000 colors by output of
64 values gamma-corrected.
This device has an internal D/A (digital-to-analog) converter for each output and 10 (5-by-2) reference voltages.
Because the output dynamic range is as large as 4.8 - 7.8 Vp-p, it is unnecessary to operate level inversion of the
LCD's common electrode. Besides, to be able to deal with dot-line inversion when mounted on a single-side,
output gray-scale voltages with different polarity can be output to the odd number output pins and the even output
pins.
KS0668 can be adopted to larger panel, and SHL (shift direction selection) pin makes the use of the LCD panel
connection conveniently. Maximum operation clock frequency is 55 MHz at 2.7 V logic operation, single edge
and it can be applied to the TFT-LCD panel of XGA to SXGA standard.
FEATURES
• TFT active matrix LCD source driver LSI
• 64 gray-scale is possible through 10 (5-by-2) reference voltages and D/A converter
• Both dot inversion display and N-line inversion display are possible
• CMOS level input
• Compatible with gamma-correction
• Input data inversion function (DATPOL)
• Logic supply voltage: 2.7 - 3.6 V
• LCD driver supply voltage: 5.0 - 8.0 V
• Output dynamic range: 4.8 - 7.8 Vp-p
• Maximum operating frequency: fMAX = 55 MHz (internal data transmission rate at 2.7 V operation)
• Output: 384 outputs
• TCP
