Universal LCD driver for low multiplex rates

7.3 LCD voltage selector

The LCD voltage selector coordinates the multiplexing of the LCD in accordance with the

selected LCD drive conﬁguration. The operation of the voltage selector is controlled by the

mode-set command (see Table 9) from the command decoder. The biasing conﬁgurations

that apply to the preferred modes of operation, together with the biasing characteristics as

functions of VLCD and the resulting discrimination ratios (D), are given in Table 5.

A practical value for VLCD is determined by equating Voff(RMS) with a deﬁned LCD

threshold voltage (Vth), typically when the LCD exhibits approximately 10 % contrast. In

the static drive mode a suitable choice is VLCD >3Vth.

Multiplex drive modes of 1:3 and 1:4 with 1

⁄2 bias are possible but the discrimination and

hence the contrast ratios are smaller.

Bias is calculated by

, where the values for a are

a = 1 for 1

⁄2 bias

a = 2 for 1

⁄3 bias

The RMS on-state voltage (Von(RMS)) for the LCD is calculated with Equation 1

(1)

where the values for n are

n = 1 for static mode

n = 2 for 1:2 multiplex

n = 3 for 1:3 multiplex

n = 4 for 1:4 multiplex

The RMS off-state voltage (Voff(RMS)) for the LCD is calculated with Equation 2:

(2)

Discrimination is the ratio of Von(RMS) to Voff(RMS) and is determined from Equation 3:

Table 5.
