LCD driver for Sharp LC-42SV50U
CM501 overview
The CM501 is an LCD driver for Sharp LC-42SV50U made by RichTek Technology, supplied in a QFN48 Type package. The absolute maximum ratings table on this page lists the 21 limits from the manufacturer's datasheet that must not be exceeded. This page brings together the CM501 pinout and maximum ratings.
The CM501 generates all the supply rails for thin-film transistor (TFT) liquid-crystal display (LCD) panels in TVs and Monitors. It includes boost and buck regulators, VGH and VGL charge pump regulators, gate pulse modulator (GPM) , HV LDO, voltage detector (XAO) and VCOM OP. The CM501 can support input voltage from 8V to 14V and is optimized for LCD TV panel and LCD monitor applications running directly from 12V supply.
The boost and buck regulators feature internal power MOSFETs and high-frequency operation allowing the use of small inductors and capacitors, resulting in a compact solution. Both switching regulators use fixed-frequency, current-mode control architectures, providing fast load- transient response and easy compensation.
The VGH and VGL charge-pump regulators provide supply voltages for TFT gate driver. Both output voltages can be adjusted with external resistive voltage dividers.
The GPM is controlled by frame signals from timing controller to modulate the Gate-On voltage (VGHM), which acts as a flicker compensation to reduce the coupling effect between gate lines and pixels. It also can delay VGHM while power-on for achieving a correct power-on sequence for gate driver ICs. VGHM power-on delay time, the falling time and falling stop voltage can be programmable by an external capacitor and an external resistor.
The voltage detector (XAO) monitors VIN voltage to issue a reset signal while the detected voltage is too low. The detecting level is decided by an external resistive voltage divider.
The HV LDO can provide a highly accurate voltage (0.5%) for gamma reference voltage. It has fast transient response and also wide operation input range.
The VCOM OP can drive the LCD VCOM voltage that features high short-circuit current (300mA), fast slew rate (45V/ms), wide bandwidth (20MHz) and rail-to-rail inputs and outputs. The CM501 is available in a small WQFN-48L 7x7 package and operates over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
