  • Patent number: 8354985
    Abstract: A driving apparatus resets driving circuits provided therein after an internal supply voltage reaches a sufficient voltage level. The driving apparatus includes a reset signal generator that resets the driving circuits when the internal supply voltage exceeds the external supply voltage in a rising period of the internal supply voltage. Accordingly, the driving circuits may be prevented from being reset before the internal supply voltage reaches the sufficient voltage level, thereby preventing an abnormal operation of the driving circuits.
