Three features of the LM6132/34 make the device a superb choice for TFT LCD applications. First, the low current draw (360μA per amplifier at 5V) makes the device an excellent choice for battery powered applications such as in laptop computers. Second, since the device operates down to 2.7V, the device is a natural choice for next generation 3V TFT panels. Last, but not least, the large capacitive drive capability of the LM6132 comes in very handy in driving highly capacitive loads that are characteristic of LCD display drivers.

The large capacitive drive capability of the LM6132/34 allows the device to be used as buffers for the gamma correction reference voltage inputs of resistor-DAC type column (Source) drivers in TFT LCD panels. This amplifier is also useful for buffering only the center reference voltage input of Capacitor-DAC type column (Source) drivers such as the LMC750X series.

Since for VGA and SVGA displays, the buffered voltages must settle within approximately 4μs, the well known technique of using a small isolation resistor in series with the amplifier's output very effectively dampens the ringing at the output.

With the wide supply voltage range of 2.7V to 24V, the LM6132/34 can be used for a diverse range of applications. The system designer is thus able to select a single device type that serves many sub-circuits in the system, eliminating the need to specify multiple devices in the bill of materials. Along with the sister parts, the LM6142 and LM6152 that have the same wide supply voltage capability, choice of the LM6132 in a design eliminates the need to search for multiple sources for new designs.
