  • Patent number: 11942857
    Abstract: A power supply is provided. The power supply includes a power supply circuit and a control circuit. The power supply circuit includes a voltage converter and multiple point-of-load circuits. The voltage converter generates a third voltage according to a first voltage. The load point-of-load circuits generate at least one second voltage and at least one state signal according to the third voltage. The at least one second voltage is suitable for supplying power to a load. The control circuit is coupled to the power supply circuit. The control circuit determines whether a single event latch-up occurs in the power supply circuit according to the at least one state signal. When the single event latch-up occurs in the power supply circuit, the control circuit switches off the power supply circuit to stop generating the at least one second voltage and the at least one state signal.

  • Publication number: 20240099086
    Abstract: A display may have an array of pixels. Display driver circuitry may supply data and control signals to the pixels. Each pixel may have seven transistors, a capacitor, and a light-emitting diode such as an organic light-emitting diode. The seven transistors may receive control signals using horizontal control lines. Each pixel may have first and second emission enable transistors that are coupled in series with a drive transistor and the light-emitting diode of that pixel. The first and second emission enable transistors may be coupled to a common control line or may be separately controlled so that on-bias stress can be effectively applied to the drive transistor. The display driver circuitry may have gate driver circuits that provide different gate line signals to different rows of pixels within the display. Different rows may also have different gate driver strengths and different supplemental gate line loading structures.
