CSTN LCD DRIVER IC UC1698v

Single-Chip, 160COM x128RGB Matrix
Passive Color LCD Controller-Driver
INTRODUCTION
UC1698v is an advanced high-voltage mixedsignal
CMOS IC, specially designed for the
display needs of low power hand-held devices.
In addition to low power COM and SEG drivers,
UC1698v contains all necessary circuits for
high-V LCD power supply, bias voltage
generation, temperature compensation, timing
generation, and graphics data memory.
UC1698v employs UltraChips unique DCC
(Direct Capacitor Coupling) driver architecture
and LRM (Line Rate Modulation) gray-shade
modulation scheme to achieve well-balanced
shading, vivid colors, and natural-looking images.
With UC1698v, LCD makers can now achieve
TFT-like image quality, while maintaining the
same STN advantages in power consumption,
unit cost, ease of customization and production
flexibility.
MAIN APPLICATIONS
Cellular Phones and other battery operated
hand held devices or portable Instruments
