    Abstract: Disclosed are an offset compensation gamma buffer and a gray scale voltage generation circuit using the same. The offset compensation gamma buffer includes: a buffer which outputs an input voltage input to a positive or negative input terminal as an output voltage; and a switching unit which selectively connects the input voltage and the output voltage of the buffer to the positive and negative input terminals in response to a control signal. The output voltage of the offset compensation gamma buffer is supplied to the input of a gray scale voltage generation circuit of a source driver for driving a liquid crystal panel. The offset of the offset compensation gamma buffer is compensated using an inversion timing of the control signal. The output voltage of the offset compensation gamma buffer is supplied as a reference voltage of the voltage divider unit for generating the gray scale voltages, and the offset of the gray scale voltages is also compensated.

  • Patent number: 6188616
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device according to the present invention includes a write pulse width timing compensating part that controls a write pulse width timing. The semiconductor memory controls the point of disabling a write control drive signal by directly producing a write enable signal or delaying the write enable signal based on a level of a power supply voltage to compensate the write pulse width timing. The write pulse width timing compensating part receives the poser supply level and the write enable signal and outputs a compensated write control drive signal. A generating part receives the write control drive signal from the write pulse width timing compensating part, a selection signal, and a decoder signal and generates a control signal. A data input part writes input data to a selected cell upon application of data and the control signal from the generating part.
