  • Publication number: 20090066415
    Abstract: An operational amplifier includes a differential amplifier, an output stage, and a control unit. The differential amplifier generates a first current through a first output node and a second current through a second output node in response to a voltage difference between a first input signal input through a first input terminal and a second input signal input through a second input terminal. The output stage generates an output signal through an output node. The control unit receives a voltage of the first output node and a voltage of the second output node, as bias voltages, and controls an output current of the output stage to determine the output signal of the output stage in response to the received voltages of the first and second output nodes.

  • Publication number: 20080316154
    Abstract: An apparatus for generating a VCOM voltage in a display device includes first and second buffer amplifiers and a charge pump. The first buffer amplifier is biased with high and low rail voltages for generating the VCOM voltage. The second buffer amplifier generates the high rail voltage at an output node not connected to an external capacitor. The charge pump generates the low rail voltage by charge pumping directly from an external power supply voltage. Alternatively, a charge pump and a comparator are used for generating the VCOM voltage at an output of the charge pump. The comparator generates a charge pump control signal from comparing the VCOM voltage with a reference voltage.

  • Patent number: 7391395
    Abstract: A super twisted nematic (STN) liquid crystal display (LCD) driver and a driving method thereof includes a sub frame counter that counts the number of sub frames in response to a clock signal and generates a sub frame flag signal when each sub frame is counted. An N clock counter receives an N-line signal and generates an N-line flag signal when the number of N-line counted is N in response to the clock signal. A frame counter receives a frame rate control (FRC) selection signal, counts the number of the sub frame flag signal, and generates a frame flag signal when the number of the sub frame flag signal counted is n. A liquid crystal polarity inversion signal generator receives one of the sub frame flag signal, the N-line flag signal, and the frame flag signal in response to a selection signal, and generates a liquid crystal polarity inversion signal.

  • Publication number: 20070024555
    Abstract: A highly efficient LCD driving voltage generating circuit and method consumes a relatively small amount of power, as compared to conventional means. The LCD driving voltage generating circuit comprises a DC-DC converter for boosting an input voltage in response to a clock signal and for outputting the boosted voltage as a first driving voltage; a voltage controlled oscillator for generating the clock signal at a frequency that changes in response to the level of a control voltage; and a control voltage generator for generating the control voltage in response to the difference between a reference voltage and a feedback voltage derived from the first driving voltage. In this manner, as the feedback voltage becomes lower than a reference voltage, the frequency of the clock signal input into a DC-DC converter increases.
