DESCRIPTION
The BUF12800 is a programmable voltage reference
generator designed for dynamic gamma correction in
TFT-LCD panels. It provides 12 programmable outputs,
each with 10-bit resolution.
TI’s new, small geometry, state-of-the-art, analog CMOS
process allows the use of one digital-to-analog converter
(DAC) per channel while still maintaining a very small chip
size. This topology has the advantage of significantly
increased programming speed over existing programmable buffers.
Programming of each output occurs through an industrystandard, two-wire serial interface. Unlike existing
programmable buffers, the BUF12800 offers a highspeed, two-wire interface mode that allows clock speeds
up to 3.4MHz. The BUF12800 features a double-buffered
DAC register structure that significantly simplifies implementation of dynamic gamma control. This further reduces
programming time, especially when many channels have
to be updated simultaneously.
Reference pins set the high and low voltages of the output
range. They are internally buffered, which simplifies
design. They may be connected to external resistors to
divide the output range for finer resolution of outputs.
The BUF12800 is available in a TSSOP-24 PowerPAD
package. It is specified from −40°C to +85°C.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The BUF12800 programmable voltage reference allows fast
and easy adjustment of 12 programmable reference outputs,
each with 10-bit resolution.
It allows very simple,
time-efficient adjustment of the gamma reference voltages.
The BUF12800 is programmed through a high-speed
standard two-wire interface. The BUF12800 features a
double-register structure for each DAC channel to simplify
the implementation of dynamic gamma control (see the
Dynamic Control section). This allows pre-loading of register
data and rapid updating of all channels simultaneously.
The BUF12800 uses an analog supply of 7V to 18V and a
digital supply of 2.3V to 5.5V. The digital supply must be
applied prior to or simultaneously with the analog supply
to avoid excessive current and power consumption;
damage to the device may occur if it is left connected only
to the analog supply for an extended time.
Figure 7 shows the BUF12800 in a typical configuration.
In this configuration, the BUF12800 device address is 74h.
The output of each DAC is immediately updated as soon
as data are received in the corresponding register (LD = 0).
For maximum dynamic range, set VREFH = VS − 0.2V and
VREFL = VS + 0.2V.
Buffers A−F are able to swing to within 300mV of the
positive supply rail, and to within 1.1V of the negative
supply rail. Buffers G−L are able to swing to within 1.7V
of the positive supply rail, and to within 300mV of the
negative supply rail. (See the Electrical Characteristics
table for further information).

TWO-WIRE BUS OVERVIEW
acknowledge this byte; the communication protocol prohibits
acknowledgment of the Hs master code. On receiving a
master code, the BUF12800 will switch on its Hs mode filters,
and communicate at up to 3.4MHz. Additional high-speed
transfers may be initiated without resending the Hs mode
byte by generating a repeat START without a STOP. The
BUF12800 will switch out of Hs mode at the first occurrence
of a STOP condition.
The BUF12800 communicates through an industry-standard, two-wire interface to receive data in slave mode. This
standard uses a two-wire, open-drain interface that supports
multiple devices on a single bus. Bus lines are driven to a
logic low level only. The device that initiates the
communication is called a master, and the devices controlled
by the master are slaves. The master generates the serial
clock on the clock signal line (SCL), controls the bus access,
and generates the START and STOP conditions.
GENERAL CALL RESET AND POWER-UP
To address a specific device, the master initiates a START
condition by pulling the data signal line (SDA) from a HIGH
to LOW logic level while SCL is HIGH. All slaves on the bus
shift in the slave address byte, with the last bit indicating
whether a read or write operation is intended. During the
ninth clock pulse, the slave being addressed responds to
the master by generating an Acknowledge and pulling
SDA LOW.
The BUF12800 responds to a General Call Reset, which is
an address byte of 00h (0000 0000) followed by a data byte
of 06h (0000 0110). The BUF12800 acknowledges both
bytes. Upon receiving a General Call Reset, the BUF12800
performs a full internal reset, as though it had been powered
off and then on. It always acknowledges the General Call
address byte of 00h (0000 0000), but does not acknowledge
any General Call data bytes other than 06h (0000 0110).
Data transfer is then initiated and 8 bits of data are sent
followed by an Acknowledge Bit. During data transfer,
SDA must remain stable while SCL is HIGH. Any change
in SDA while SCL is HIGH will be interpreted as a START
or STOP condition.
When the BUF12800 powers up, it automatically performs
a reset. As part of the reset, the BUF12800 is configured
based on the codes shown in Table 1.
Once all data has been transferred, the master generates
a STOP condition indicated by pulling SDA from LOW to
HIGH while SCL is HIGH.
The BUF12800 can act only as a slave device; therefore,
it never drives SCL. SCL is an input only for the BUF12800.
ADDRESSING THE BUF12800
The address of the BUF12800 is 111010x, where x is the
state of the A0 pin. When the A0 pin is LOW, the device will
acknowledge on address 74h (1110100). If the A0 pin is
HIGH, the device will acknowledge on address 75h
(1110101).
Other valid addresses are possible through a simple mask
change. Contact your TI representative for information.
DATA RATES
The two-wire bus operates in one of three speed modes:
D Standard: allows a clock frequency of up to 100kHz;
D Fast: allows a clock frequency of up to 400kHz; and
D High-speed mode (also called Hs mode): allows a
clock frequency of up to 3.4MHz.
The BUF12800 is fully compatible with all three modes. No
special action is required to use the device in Standard or
Fast modes, but High-speed mode must be activated. To
activate High-speed mode, send a special address byte of
00001xxx, with SCL = 400kHz, following the START
condition; xxx are bits unique to the Hs-capable master,
which can be any value. The BUF12800 will respond to the
High-speed mode command regardless of the value of these
last three bits. This byte is called the Hs master code. (Note
that this is different from normal address bytes—the low bit
does not indicate read/write status.) The BUF12800 will not

binary input code used to program that buffer. The value is
calculated using Equation 1; see the Reset and Power-Up

READ/WRITE OPERATIONS
The BUF12800 is able to read from a single DAC or
multiple DACs, or write to the register of a single DAC, or
multiple DACs in a single communication transaction.
DAC addresses begin with 0000, which corresponds to
DAC_A, through 1011, which corresponds to DAC_L.
Write commands are performed by setting the read/write
bit LOW. Setting the read/write bit HIGH will perform a read
transaction.
5.
bytes are for DAC_L. The DAC register is updated
after receiving the 24th byte. For each DAC, begin by
sending the most significant byte (bits D15−D8, of
which only bits D9 and D8 have meaning), followed by
the least significant byte (bits D7−D0).
Send a STOP condition on the bus.
Writing
The BUF12800 will acknowledge each byte. To terminate
communication, send a STOP or START condition on the
bus. Only DACs that have received both bytes will be
updated.
To write to a single DAC register:
Reading
1.
2.
Send a START condition on the bus.
Send the device address and read/write bit = LOW.
The BUF12800 will acknowledge this byte.
To read the register of one DAC:
3.
Send a DAC address byte. Bits D7−D4 are unused
and should be set to 0. Bits D3−D0 are the DAC
address. Only DAC addresses 0000 to 1011 are valid
and will be acknowledged.
4.
5.
Send two bytes of data for the specified DAC. Begin
by sending the most significant byte first (bits D15−D8,
of which only bits D9 and D8 are used), followed by the
least significant byte (bits D7−D0). The DAC register
is updated after receiving the second byte.
Send a STOP condition on the bus.
The BUF12800 will acknowledge each data byte. If the
master terminates communication early by sending a
STOP or START condition on the bus, the specified
register will not be updated. Updating the DAC register is
not the same as updating the DAC output voltage. See the
Output Latch section.
The process of updating multiple registers begins the
same as when updating a single register. However,
instead of sending a STOP condition after writing the
addressed register, the master will continue to send data
for the next register. The BUF12800 will automatically and
sequentially step through subsequent registers as additional data is sent. The process will continue until all desired registers have been updated or a STOP condition is
sent.
To write to multiple registers:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Send a START condition on the bus.
Send the device address and read/write bit = LOW.

Table 2. BUF12800 Bus Address Options
OUTPUT LATCH
Because the BUF12800 features a double-buffered
register structure, updating the DAC register is not the
same as updating the DAC output voltage. There are three
methods for latching transferred data from the storage
registers into the DACs to update the DAC output voltage.
Method 1 requires externally setting the latch pin low,
LD = LOW, which will update each DAC output voltage
whenever its corresponding register is updated.
Method 2 externally sets LD = HIGH to allow all DAC
output voltages to retain their values during data transfer
and until LD = LOW, which will simultaneously update the
output voltages of all 12 DACs to the new register values.
Method 3 uses software control. LD is maintained HIGH,
and all 12 DACs are updated when the master writes a ‘1’
in bit 15 of any DAC register. The update will occur after
receiving the 16-bit data for the currently-written register.
Use methods 2 and 3 to transfer a future data set into the
first bank of registers in advance to prepare for a very fast
update of DAC output voltages.
The General Call Reset and the power-up reset will update
the DACs regardless of the state of the latch pin.

DYNAMIC GAMMA CONTROL
Dynamic gamma control is a technique used to improve
the picture quality in LCD TV applications. The brightness
in each picture frame is analyzed and the gamma curves
are adjusted on a frame-by-frame basis. The gamma
curves are typically updated during the short vertical
blanking period in the video signal. Figure 12 shows a
block diagram using the BUF12800 for dynamic gamma
control.
The BUF12800 is ideally suited for rapidly changing the
gamma curves due to its unique topology:
a picture is still being displayed. Because the data is only
stored into the first register bank, the DAC output values
remain unchanged—the display is unaffected. During the
vertical sync period, the DAC outputs (and therefore, the
gamma voltages) can be quickly updated either by using
an additional control line connected to the LD pin, or
through software—writing a ‘1’ in bit 15 of any DAC
register. For details on the operation of the double register
input structure, see the Output Latch section.
Example: Update all 12 registers simultaneously via
software.
Step 1: Check if LD pin is placed in HIGH state.
•
double register input structure to the DAC
•
fast serial interface
•
simultaneous updating of all DACs by software.
See the Read/Write Operations to write to all
registers and Output Latch sections.
Step 2: Write DAC Registers 1−12 with bit 15 always 0.
Step 3: Write any DAC register a second time with
identical data. Make sure that bit 15 is ‘1’. All DAC
channels will be updated simultaneously after receiving
the last bit of data.
The double register input structure saves programming
time by allowing updated DAC values to be pre-stored into
the first register bank. Storage of this data can occur while

REPLACEMENT OF TRADITIONAL GAMMA
BUFFER
BUF12800 uses the most advanced high-voltage CMOS
process available today, which allows it to be competitive
with traditional gamma buffers.
Traditional gamma buffers rely on a resistor string (often
using expensive 0.1% resistors) to set the gamma
voltages. During development, the optimization of these
gamma voltages can be time consuming. Programming
these gamma voltages with the BUF12800 can
significantly reduce the time required for gamma voltage
optimization. The final gamma values can be written into
an external EEPROM to replace a traditional gamma
buffer solution. During power-up of the LCD panel, the
timing controller can read the EEPROM and load the
values into the BUF12800 to generate the desired gamma
voltages. Figure 13a shows the traditional resistor string;
Figure 13b shows the more efficient alternative method
using the BUF12800.
a) Traditional
This technique offers significant advantages:
•
It shortens development time significantly.
•
It allows demonstration of various gamma curves
to LCD monitor makers by simply uploading a
different set of gamma values.
•
It allows simple adjustment of gamma curves
during production to accommodate changes in
the panel manufacturing process.
•
It decreases cost and space.

PROGRAMMABLE VCOM
REFH AND REFL INPUT RANGE
Channels A−F of the BUF12800 can drive more than
100mA up to 2V to the supply rails (see Figure 4, typical
characteristic Output Voltage vs Output Current).
Therefore, any of these channels can be used to drive the
VCOM node on the LCD panel. To store the gamma and the
VCOM values, an external EEPROM is required. During
power-up of the LCD panel, the timing controller can then
read the EEPROM and load the values into the BUF12800
to generate the desired gamma voltages as well as VCOM
voltages. Figure 14 shows channels A and B of the
BUF12800 being used for VCOM voltages.
Best performance and output swing range of the
BUF12800 are achieved by applying REFH and REFL
voltages that are slightly below the power-supply
voltages. Most specifications have been tested at
REFH = VS − 200mV and REFL = GND + 200mV. The
REFH internal buffer is designed to swing very closely to
VS and the REFL internal buffer to GND. However, there
is a finite limit on how close they can swing before
saturating. To avoid saturation of the internal REFH and
REFL buffers, the REFH voltage should not be greater
than VS − 100mV and REFL voltage should not be lower
than GND + 100mV. The other consideration when trying
to maximize the output swing capability of the gamma
buffers is the limitation in the swing range of output buffers
(OUT A−L), which depends on the load current. A typical
load in the LCD application is 5−10mA. For example, if
OUT A is sourcing 10mA, the swing is typically limited to
about VS − 200mV. The same applies to OUT L, which
typically limits at GND + 200mV when sinking 10mA. An
increase in output swing can only be achieved for much
lighter loads. For example, a 3mA load typically allows the
swing to be increased to approximately VS − 100mV and
GND + 100mV.

Connecting REFH directly to VS and REFL directly to GND
does not damage the BUF12800. However, as discussed
above, the output stages of the REFH and REFL buffers
will saturate. This condition is not desirable and can result
in a small error in the measured output voltages of OUT
A−L. As described above, this method of connecting
REFH and REFL does not help to maximize the output
swing capability.

(Red—R, Green—G, Blue—B). The BUF20800 offers 20

each color, 18 channels would be used in total for adjusting
the gamma. In addition to those, 1 or 2 channels could be
used to program VCOM.

The wide supply range, high output current and very low

SBOS315D − DECEMBER 2004 − REVISED DECEMBER 2007
GENERAL PowerPAD DESIGN
CONSIDERATIONS
The BUF12800 is available in the thermally-enhanced
PowerPAD package. This package is constructed using
a downset leadframe upon which the die is mounted, as
shown in Figure 17(a) and (b). This arrangement
results in the lead frame being exposed as a thermal
pad on the underside of the package; see Figure 17(c).
Due to this thermal pad having direct thermal contact
with the die, excellent thermal performance is achieved
by providing a good thermal path away from the thermal
pad.
The PowerPAD package allows for both assembly and
thermal management in one manufacturing operation.
During the surface-mount solder operation (when the
leads are being soldered), the thermal pad must be
soldered to a copper area underneath the package.
Through the use of thermal paths within this copper
area, heat can be conducted away from the package
into either a ground plane or other heat-dissipating
device. Soldering the PowerPAD to the PCB is
always required, even with applications that have
low power dissipation. This provides the necessary
thermal and mechanical connection between the lead
frame die pad and the PCB.
The PowerPAD must be connected to the device’s most
negative supply voltage, GNDA and GNDD.
1. Prepare the PCB with a top-side etch pattern. There
should be etching for the leads as well as etch for the
thermal pad.
2. Place recommended holes in the area of the thermal
pad. Ideal thermal land size and thermal via patterns
(2x4) can be seen in the technical brief, PowerPAD
Thermally-Enhanced Package (SLMA002), available for download at www.ti.com. These holes
should be 13 mils (0.330mm) in diameter. Keep
them small, so that solder wicking through the holes
is not a problem during reflow.
16
3. Additional vias may be placed anywhere along the
thermal plane outside of the thermal pad area. This
helps dissipate the heat generated by the
BUF12800 IC. These additional vias may be larger
than the 13-mil diameter vias directly under the
thermal pad. They can be larger because they are
not in the thermal pad area to be soldered; thus,
wicking is not a problem.
4. Connect all holes to the internal plane that is at the
same voltage potential as the GND pins.
5. When connecting these holes to the internal plane,
do not use the typical web or spoke via connection
methodology. Web connections have a high thermal
resistance connection that is useful for slowing the
heat transfer during soldering operations. This
makes the soldering of vias that have plane
connections easier. In this application, however, low
thermal resistance is desired for the most efficient
heat transfer. Therefore, the holes under the
BUF12800 PowerPAD package should make their
connection to the internal plane with a complete
connection around the entire circumference of the
plated-through hole.
6. The top-side solder mask should leave the terminals
of the package and the thermal pad area with its
eight holes exposed. The bottom-side solder mask
should cover the holes of the thermal pad area. This
prevents solder from being pulled away from the
thermal pad area during the reflow process.
7. Apply solder paste to the exposed thermal pad area
and all of the IC terminals.
8. With these preparatory steps in place, the
BUF12800 IC is simply placed in position and run
through the solder reflow operation as any standard
surface-mount component. This preparation results
in a properly installed part.
