Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for a power supply module capable of providing power to a display apparatus. In one aspect, the power supply module can include a power supply controller that is capable executing commutation cycles, where each commutation cycle includes energizing an inductor for a first time period and then allowing the energized inductor to supply power to the display apparatus for a second time period. The power supply module can operate in active-high and active-low states, in which the power supply module executes commutation cycles, and a suspend state, in which no commutation cycles are executed. The power supply module transitions between these states based in part on the value of the output voltage. A peak current value is varied such that that the power supply module converges to operating in the active-high and active-low states after peak current demand is met.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for providing a cascode driver circuit for providing positive and negative polarities of two or more voltages at an output node. The voltages provided by the cascode driver circuit can be used to provide voltages to various interconnects and terminals of the display apparatus. The cascode driver circuit includes a first circuit for providing a positive polarity of two or more voltages to an output node via a first set of cascode transistors and a second circuit for providing negative polarities of the two or more voltages via a second set of cascode transistors. The driver circuit includes body-effect mitigation circuitry for reducing the impact of body-effect on the performance of the driver circuit. The driver circuit also includes circuitry for reducing substrate leakage current.
