AS1506
Datasheet - Application Information
Positive LCD Bias Control
The device can be used in applications where a voltage-divider or variable resistor is used to make an adjustable, pos-
itive LCD-bias voltage, such as for the AS1120 LCD Driver. The op amp provides buffering and gain to the resistor-
divider network made by the potentiometer (Figure 26) or to a fixed resistor and a variable resistor (Figure 27).

Adjustable Voltage Reference
Figure 28 shows the device used as the feedback resistor in an adjustable voltage-reference application. Output volt-
ages of external voltage references, supervisory reset thresholds, or LED brightness control can be independently
adjusted by changing the wiper position of the AS1506.
