Applying video signals before VL is applied may cause a latchup condition. Allowing VL to remain “on” for a long period of time after video signals are removed—which stops the cell scanning—may produce a latent image. In addition, there is a restriction regarding dropouts on the VL supply as illustrated in Figure 3 (“Vcc”= VL). This is related to the reset circuit for the LCD’s internal logic. If a dip in VL exceeds 10 ms in duration or VL falls below 2.7 Vdc then the power sequencing procedure should be followed.

Backlight Signals

The dimming control and /DISABL inputs are analog, though the latter is intended to be driven from either an open collector device or CMOS logic. The /ABCOFF input is a CMOS-compatible digital input.

Table 7. Backlight Signal DC Characteristics.

Description	Min	Max	Units	Symbol
Absolute max. input voltage	-0.3	+5.3	Vdc	VIMAX
Dimming input voltage range	0	+5.0	Vdc	VRLUM
Recommended pot. value	10	100	K ohm	RLUM
RLUM HI source current	–	600	µA	IRLUM
/ABCOFF input	+3.6	+5.0	Vdc	VIHA
	0	+1.4	Vdc	VILA
	–	0.5	mA	IILA
/DISABL input	+4.5	+5.0	Vdc	VIHD
	0	+1.0	Vdc	VILD
	–	1.3	mA	IILD

Note: Incorrect operation of the undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit may occur if the /DISABL input is allowed to operate between VILD and VIHD.
