COM
Calibrator with EEPROM
ISL24202
The ISL24202 is an 8-bit programmable current sink that can be
used in conjunction with an external voltage divider to generate a
voltage source (V
COM
) positioned between the analog supply
voltage and ground. The current sink’s full-scale range is
controlled by an external resistor, R
SET
. With the appropriate
choice of external resistors R
1
and R
2
, the V
COM
voltage range
can be controlled between any arbitrary voltage range. The
ISL24202 has an 8-bit data register and 8-bit EEPROM for storing
both a volatile and a permanent value for its output, accessible
through a single up/down counter interface pin (CTL). After the
part is programmed with the desired V
COM
value, the Counter
Enable pin (CE) can be grounded to prevent further changes. On
every power-up the EEPROM contents are automatically
transferred to the data register, and the pre-programmed output
voltage appears at the V
OUT
pin.
The ISL24202 can be used with a high output drive buffer
amplifier, which allows it to directly drive the V
COM
input of an
LCD panel.
The ISL24202 is available in an 8 Ld 3mm x 3mm TDFN
package. This package has a maximum height of 0.8mm for very
low profile designs. The ambient operating temperature range is
-40°C to +85°C
.
