This block generates the voltages necessary for driving LCD panel. The power supply circuit
consists of voltage boosting circuit and voltage converting circuit and generates the voltages (V

For large panel driving, it’s preferable to use external voltage source rather than to use built-in
power supply circuit for good image quality.
When using external voltage source, disable the built-in power supply circuit(AMPON, DCON=‘00’),

can be generated through
V
OUT
port. The boosting coefficient can be set by command and 2-times/ 3-times / 4-times/ 5-
times/ 6-times/ 7-times boosted voltage is output through V
OUT
port.
At application, specific boosting coefficient is used, refer to the following description.

At 5-times/ 6-times/ 7-times boosting are same structures with upper case.
Special care should be taken so that the voltage of VOUT would not exceed 18V MAX.
VOUT voltage exceeding 18V can cause malfunction and reliability problem.
