Fig 33. Chip-on-glass application
The required minimum values for the external capacitors in a chip-on-glass application
are:
• Cext = 100 nF between VLCD and VSS1, VSS2; Cext = 470 nF between VDD1, VDD2, VDD3
and VSS1, VSS2.
• Higher capacitor values are recommended for ripple reduction.
• For COG applications, the recommended ITO track resistance must be minimized for
the I/O and supply connections. Optimized values for these tracks are below 50 Ω for
the supply (Rsupply) and below 100 Ω for the I/O connections (RI/O).
• To reduce the sensitivity of the reset to ESD/EMC disturbances for a COG application,
NXP strongly recommended implementing a series input resistance in the reset line
(recommended minimum value 8 kΩ) on the glass (ITO). If the reset input is not used,
this input must be connected to VDD1 using a short connection.
