  • Publication number: 20140002437
    Abstract: A power-saving driving circuit for a flat panel display is provided. The power-saving driving circuit includes a pixel array and at least one source driver. The pixel array composes as a plurality of data lines. The data lines are grouped into a plurality of pixel regions according to a scan time. Each of the pixel regions has a plurality of pixels. The source driver sequentially supplies a driving voltage to the pixels on at least one of the data lines. The driving voltage supplied by the source driver to each of the pixel regions has a varying driving capability, and the driving capability gets stronger as it gets closer to an end of the data lines.

  • Patent number: 8593222
    Abstract: An amplifier includes an output stage circuit, a current source, a PMOS input pair, an NMOS input pair and a current transferring circuit. The output stage circuit is electrically coupled to a supply voltage and a ground voltage. The current source has a node to provide a current. The PMOS input pair is coupled to the node and the ground voltage and controlled by an input voltage. The NMOS input pair coupled to the supply voltage is controlled by the input voltage. The current transferring circuit is coupled to the node and the NMOS input pair. When the input voltage is less than a specific value, the current flows into the PMOS input pair through the node. When the input voltage is larger than or equal to the specific value, the current flows into the NMOS input pair through the node and the current transferring circuit.

  • Publication number: 20120242411
    Abstract: An operational amplifier providing an output voltage signal to drive a load in response to an input voltage signal is provided. The operational amplifier includes a first input stage and a second input stage, a second stage and an output enable switch. The first input stage provides a first intermediate signal according to the voltages of an input and an output voltage signals in a transitional state. The second input stage provides a second intermediate signal according to the input and the output voltage signals in a steady state. The second stage provides the output voltage signal to an output node according to the first and the second intermediate signals in the transitional and the steady states respectively. The output enable switch is enabled in an output enable period to drive the load with the output voltage signal.

  • Publication number: 20120119834
    Abstract: An amplifier circuit with overshoot suppress scheme including an input amplifier, an output amplifier, and a diode is provided. A first and a second input ends of the output amplifier are coupled to a differential output pair of the input amplifier. The diode is coupled between an output end and the first input end of the output amplifier. When the voltage difference between the output and the input ends of the output amplifier is greater then the barrier voltage of the diode, the diode is turned on, so that the output end of the output amplifier is coupled to the input end of the output amplifier. In the transient state, it rapidly smoothes the overshoot signal. In the steady state, the diode is cut off to maintain the normal operation of the operational amplifier.
