GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM8840 combines a charge pump regulator and a
Common Line (COM) driver in a single chip solution for use
in TFT LCD’s. The device provides an LCD controller and
grayscale DAC supply voltage of 5.0V (±2%), 2 gate drive
voltages of +15V and -15V and a COM driver voltage. This
COM Driver voltage alternates the polarity of the Common
line voltage every line (or every frame) on the display in order
to prevent screen-burn occuring over time. The ADM8840
is powered by a single 3.0V supply.
The ADM8840 has an internal 100KHz oscillator for driving
the charge pumps.
The COM Driver section of the ADM8840 can be used to
generate the alternate frame or line inversion of the COM
line of the LCD panel. The ADM8840 receives the COM
clock from the controller with a frequency up to 10kHz and
allows programmable conditioning of its amplitude and
centre voltage through the use of on-board DAC’s. This
allows programmable elimination of display flicker caused
by the COM inversion.
The COM_OUT amplitude can be programmed from 4.0V
to 7.0V in steps of 28mV. The COM_OUT centre voltage
can be programmed to 0.9V to 2.8V in steps of 14mV.
TM
Green Idle is a registered trademark of Analog Devices Inc.
The ADM8840 provides power up sequencing of the -15V
and +15V gate drive outputs, ensuring the -15V starts to
power up before the +15V.
The ADM8840 has a number of power save features, includ-
ing low power Shutdown. The 5.0V output consumes the
most power, so Power Efficiency is also maximised on this
output with an oscillator enabling scheme (Green Idle
TM
).
The ADM8840 is fabricated using CMOS technology for
minimal power consumption. The part is packaged in a 32-
pin LFCSP package.
