Description
The STVM100 is a programmable VCOM
adjustment solution for thin-film transistor (TFT)
liquid-crystal displays (LCDs) to remove “flickers”.
It is also used in e-paper and e-book applications
to avoid the “ghosting” effect (residual pixels after
display refresh). It can replace a mechanical
potentiometer, so that the factory operator can
physically view the front screen when performing
the VCOM adjustment. This significantly reduces
labor costs, increases reliability, and enables
automation.
The STVM100 provides a digital I
2
C interface to
control the sink current output (I
OUT
). This output
drives an external resistive voltage divider, which
can then be applied to an external V
COM
buffer.
Three external resistors R
1
, R
2
, and R
SET
determine the highest and lowest value of the
V
COM
. An increase in the output sink current will
lower the voltage on the external divider so that
the V
COM
can be adjusted by 128 steps within this
range. Once the desired V
COM
setting is
achieved, it can be stored in the internal
EEPROM that will be automatically recalled
during each power-up.
The STVM100 is available in an 8-pin, 3 mm x
3 mm TDFN8 or 3 mm x 3 mm TSSOP8 package.
TDFN8 (3 mm x 3 mm) (DC)
TSSOP8 (3 mm x 3 mm) (DS)
