Note6,Note7
Note1:When designing of the power supply ,take the measures for the prevention of surge voltage.
Note2:This value excludes peak current such as overshoot current.
Note3:This power supply lines(BLVCC and GND)may have ripple voltage during luminance control of
LED.There is the possibility that the ripple voltage produces acoustic noise and signal wave
noise in audio circuit and so on.Put a capacitor between the power supply lines(BLVCC and
GND) to reduce the noise is necessary .
Note4:A recommended fPWM value is as follows.
2n-1
f PWM =
× fv
4
(n =integer,fv =frame frequency of LCD module )
Note5:Depending on the frequency used ,some noise may appear on the screen,please conduct a
thorough evaluation,
Note6:While the BLEN signal is high ,do not set the tPWH(PWM pulse width ) is less than 5us .It may
cause abnormal working is the backlight .In this case,turn the backlight off and then on again by
BLEN signal.
Note7:Regardless of the PWM frequency,both PWM duty radio and PWM pulse width must be always
more than the minimum values.
5.3 Power supply voltage Sequence
5.3.1 LCD panel signal processing board
Note1: If there is a voltage variation(voltage drop) at the rising edge of VCC below 3.0V,there is a
possibility that a product does not work due to a protection circuit.
Note2: Display signals ( RIN0±,RIN1±,RIN2±,RIN3± and CLKIN± ) and function signals(DPS and FRC) must
be set to Low or High-impedance, except the VALID period (See above sequence diagram),in
order to avoid the circuitry damage .If some of display and function signals of this product are cut
while this product is working, even if the signal input to it once again, it might not work normally. If a
customer stops the display and function signals, VCC also must be shut down.
