The ISL24212 is an 8-bit programmable current sink that can be

used in conjunction with an external voltage divider to generate a

voltage source (VCOM) positioned between the analog supply

voltage and ground. The current sink’s full-scale range is

controlled by an external resistor, RSET. With the appropriate

choice of external resistors R1 and R2, the VCOM voltage range

can be controlled between any arbitrary voltage range. The

ISL24212 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 VCOM 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 VCOM_OUT pin.

The ISL24212 also features an integrated, wide-bandwidth, high

output drive buffer amplifier that can directly drive the VCOM

input of an LCD panel.

The ISL24212 is available in an 10 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.
