Display drivers offer 300 HV gate drivers

The IXEP2300 electronic paper display (EPD) gate driver features 300 high-voltage output drivers rated at 42 V. These outputs are typically driven with voltage supplies of +22V and -20V and drive the gates of thin film transistors (TFTs) of electronic paper displays.

The display driver has an internal pattern generator for applications where a minimal controller interface is desirable. The polarity of the outputs can be set to control p-type or n-type TFTs. The driver is cascadeable with bidirectional shift control. A sleep mode minimizes power consumption. The IXEP2300 is the lower-cost version of the MXEI2300 electronic paper display gate driver and can be used with the MXEI1480, 480-channel source driver. Typical applications include eBooks, electronic shelf labels, smart cards, and signage. The IXEP2300 is available as gold bumped die supplied in wafer form or in waffle pack carriers.
