We are looking to use a Varitronix MLDS16166 display on a device. Looking
at what passes for a datasheet, the contrast adjust Vlcd (aka V0) shows
what appears to be a requirement that it be delayed 50 ms after Vdd for the
controller logic. However, I can't find that requirement in the controller
documentation, nor do any of the application notes (even from Varitronix)
show such a delay - they just drive Vlcd from a voltage divider (variable)
off of Vdd.
Now I can put in the power supply sequence if I have to... just some extra
components and board space that I would rather use for something more
important. So does anyone know if this delay is really required? [Why
spec it if it isn't, but then why never show the delay in any of the
application notes if it is?]
tnx, jmk
