HD66740
Notes on Using Internal Operational Amplifier
The HD66740 has a low-current-consumption-type operational amplifier. When a low-voltage supply
is used, particularly at low temperatures near –20 C, the current in the operational amplifier is reduced.
Therefore, depending on the specifications or display pattern of the LCD panel used, screen quality may
be poor or the LCD panel may not operate at all.
For the operational specifications of the LCD panel, one must consider the drive condition (setting of the
VTEST pin) or the peripheral circuits of the LCD panel in conjunction with the power-supply voltage.
Pin condition for HD66740 (setting VTEST pin):
The following table and figure correspond to inputs of 1.2 to 1.3 V to the VTEST pin. When higher
LCD drive current is required due to the characteristics of the LCD panel, check the screen quality and
current consumption, adjust the resistance values (R1 and R2), and increase the VTEST pin voltage.
