Power Requirements
The LC640.480.33-AC display requires two power supplies: +5 Vdc for the LCD logic
and +12 Vdc for the backlight. In Table 6 below, the backlight current and power are
referenced to maximum luminance, 25 °C ambient temperature.

CAUTION:
Absolute maximum ratings are those values beyond which damage to
the device may occur.
Undervoltage Lockout (Backlight only)
An undervoltage lockout (UVLO) function is included which disables the backlight
under excessively low V
H
conditions. The UVLO circuit will disable the backlight at
approxi8.5 Vdc as V
H
falls and will enable the backlight at approxi9.5
Vdc as V
H
rises.
Power Sequencing (LCD only)
Certain restrictions on the behavior of the V
L
(+5 Vdc) source and in the application of
the V
L
source relative to the application or removal of the video signals must be
observed. These restrictions are shown in Figure 2, where “Vcc”= V
L
and “data” = video
signals.
