3 Description

The TPS65197/B is an 8-channel level-shifter with

discharge function intended for use in LCD display

applications such as Notebooks, Monitors and TVs.

The device converts the timing-controller (T-CON)

logic-level signals to the high-level signals needed by

the gate-in-panel (GIP) display.

The clock outputs, CLKOUTx, support normal level

shifting operation and 2-channel or 3-channel chargesharing,

which can be used to improve picture quality

and power consumption. At power down, all outputs

follow their input signals as long as possible; when

the discharge function is used, the outputs are pulled

high (VGH).

The TPS65197 implements a logic reset to ignore

wrong T-CON signals after the rising STV edge which

forces all 6 output clocks to VGL1. The next CLKIN1

rising edge unlocks the logic and enables normal

operation. The TPS65197B does not have the logic

reset and always follows its input signals.
