The gamma voltage out puts are programmable with their individual output values saved in a nonvolatile analog storage cell. The storage cells are arranged in a 9 x 32 array allowing thirty-two gamma correction profiles to be stored. Depending upon the application requirements the ATT3209 is configured to provide either two or three temperature compensated Bank Select outputs that would be used to drive the respective Bank Select inputs of the AGT3209 Gamma Trimster. In addition to the V GMA outputs there are two programmable VCOM outputs providing independent multiple VCOM trim points to minimize flicker on the LCD panel. • • • • • • • • APPLICATIONS Typical Application Proprietary and Confidential Rev 2/7/2005 Alta Analog ATT3209 ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS Over operating free-air temperature range unless otherwise specified (1) PARAMETER Analog Supply, AVDD (2) Max 14.5 9 14 5 Unit V V V V mA Delta VREF1 and VREF2, DeltaVREF Programming Supply VPP Digital Supply VCC Continuous Total Power Dissipation Operating Free-air Temperature Range, TA Maximum Junction Temperature, TJ Storage Temperature, TSTG Lead Temperature 1.6mm (1/16 inch) from Case for 10 seconds -25 to +125 150 -65 to 150 260 ºC ºC ºC ºC (1) Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The ATT3209 is a programmable gamma correction reference device with high drive output buffers. The device can be easily programmed prior to or during any phase of the LCD-panel manufacturing process. The gamma reference voltages are programmed and saved on nonvolatile storage cells. VGMA Figure 1 shows a typical gamma correction curve with 18 reference points. The ATT3209 VGMA outputs can be programmed to match any point on the curve. The 9 outputs (V GMA0 through VGMA8) approximate one half of the curve. Internal to the ATT3209, between VREF 1 and VREF 2, there is a resistor string along which are tap points that approximate a first order gamma curve. The nominal VGMA reference voltages are a ratio of the voltage differential between the VREF inputs and are calculated by the following: RRATIO * (V REF 2-VREF 1) +VREF 1. The R RATIO values are shown in Table 1. The nominal VGMA value can be trimmed ±1V by programming, with the final value being stored on a nonvolatile storage cell. Because the resistor string is fixed to approximate one half of the gamma curve the VREF inputs are reversible with respect to which is more positive. As an example: in order to generate the points on the gamma curve shown in Figure 1the ATT3209 generating VGMA0-VGMA8 would have its VREF 1 tied to VCOM and VREF 2 tied to AVDD . The ATT3209 generating VGMA9VGMA17 would have its VREF 1 tied to VCOM and VREF 2 tied to VSS. The VGMA buffers can drive the outputs to within 200mV of AVDD and VSS.

When DTSEL is tied high, the ATT3209 is configured w B0 & B1 being used internally ith and as active outputs reflecting the temperature input, and B3:B5 are used as the dynamic gamma inputs. ATT3209 and AGT3209 The ATT3209 is designed to work in conjunction with the AGT3209. When they are paired the, the bank select pins are connected as shown in table 3. AGT3209 Pins B1 B2 B3 B1 B1 B2 B3 B3 B4 Table1: RRATIO Table. Dynamic Gamma Compensation In many applications, especially those which involve the display of video information such as movies or television programming, it is desirable to be able to change the gamma curve based on the active frame information. The ATT3209 stores thirty-two individual gamma curves that can be dynamically ‘switched in’ by the panel’s timing controller in response to the frame data. Temperature and Gamma Profiles The ATT3209 has two nonvolatile arrays. One is the temperature profile. This array stores up to eight programmable voltage references against which the VTEMP input is compared. As the VTEMP changes and transitions through the preset temperature profile the low order bank select (B0:B1 or B0:B2) will change, effectively selecting a new gamma profile optimal for the current temperature. These signals used internally will also be output on the B0:B2 pins. The gamma profile array is comprised of thirtytwo (32) banks of nine (9) programmable gamma outputs. The active bank, or profile, is selected by 5 of the 6 bank select inputs. The active bank select inputs are determined by the state of DTSEL as shown in Table 2.

VCOM The ATT3209 also provides two “trimmable” VCOM outputs. The nominal output is equivalent to Panel AVDD/2. The VCOM output voltage can be trimmed to AVDD /2 ±1V. For example; assume a LCD panel with a 14V panel A , VDD then VCOM can be trimmed anywhere between 6V and 8V effectively in 8mV increments. The ATT3209 is easily programmed either by Alta Analog or the end user. It can be programmed as a standalone device in most any test fixture or in-circuit on the assembled LCDpanel. PROGRAMMING The programming interface is a set of three inputs plus a digital supply (V CC ). SDA is the serial data input pin used to input instructions to the ATT3209. VPP is a dual function pin. It is first used to clock in the serial data stream. Once the instruction has been issued VPP will then be used as the programming voltage input pin. AOUT is a buffered analog voltage output that reflects the VGMA voltage level of the cell Table 2. Active Bank Select pins.
