LCD Panel Structure
The structure of LCD panels (LCX012AL) driven by this IC is shown below.
The dot arrangement is a square arrangement, and the shaded region within the diagram is not displayed.
This system uses the built-in phase comparator and an externally attached VCO circuit (see the Application
Circuit).
This system is used during AV mode (NTSC/PAL).
The used pins are shown in the following table. (Effective when SLCKI is set to High.)
The CXD2436Q is designed for use with three-panel projectors, and has a system configuration which
permits both normal and reverse scan. The RGT and XRGT output to the panel are switched according to
the SLRGT input, and the DWN output is switched according to the SLDWN input in the same manner.

• AC driving of LCD panels for no signal
The following measures have been adopted to allow AC driving of LCD panels even when there is no
signal.
• Horizontal direction pulse:The PLL is set to free running status. Therefore, the frequency of the
horizontal direction pulse is dependent on the PLL free running frequency.
• Vertical direction pulse:The number of lines is counted by an internal counter and VST and FRP
are output at a specified cycle.
• VST cycle for no signal• Free running detection timing

Free running operates at the following cycles.
(No signal is judged if there is no VSYNC input for longer than the following periods.)
• Description of the MODE selector switch
• VGA/AV (NTSC/PAL) switching is performed with two pins.

• The HD1IN, HD2IN, VD1IN, VD2IN and CSYNC input polarities are supported by two pins.
Reset should be performed during startup in order to initialize the serial interface. Performing external
clear sets all serial interface modes to Low.
• Serial interface specifications
The CXD2436Q can set and switch the driving mode with the serial interface.
Set the corresponding timing data for each VGA signal according to the format in the diagram below. Be
sure to make the initial mode settings. (See the AC characteristics for detailed timing specifications.)

Note) D0 to D7 internal transfer is completed by the CS signal switching from a Low to High pulse. Therefore,
the data should be transferred in 1-byte units with the CS signal reset each time.
• Description of mode switching settings using the serial interface
The CXD2436Q can set the following six modes.
(1) Frequency division ratio setting for the 1/N frequency divider of the master clock PLL circuit block.
(2) H screen center adjustment. The center changes by one dot with LSB.
(3) V screen center adjustment. The center changes by one line with LSB.
(4) Sample-and-hold circuit phase adjustment. The phase changes by a half-dot with LSB.
(See the Description of Sample-and-Hold Timing for details.)
(5) Clamp pulse timing adjustment (4-way)
(6) Data output (Serial data is held and output.)
