Abstract:
A display apparatus, a remote controller and a method for controlling applied thereto are provided. The display apparatus receives direction information regarding an orientation of the remote controller from the remote controller, and selects an area to be controlled by the remote controller from among a first area and a second area of a screen according to the direction information received from the remote controller. As a result, user is enabled to control different areas on the screen by appropriately moving the remote controller between different orientations.

An input buffer which detects an input signal. The input buffer including an output node, a first buffer, and a second buffer. The first buffer may control the voltage level of the output node when the voltage level of a reference voltage signal is equal to a predetermined voltage level. The second buffer may control the voltage level of the output node in response to the input signal when the voltage level of the reference voltage signal is lower than the predetermined voltage level. The second buffer may maintain the output node at a first level. The second buffer may include an output control section and a level control unit. The output control section may receive the input signal and generate a level output signal at a second level. The level control section may generate a control signal which maintains the output node at the first level, in response to the level output signal when the voltage level of the reference voltage signal is lower than the predetermined voltage level of the first voltage and may intercept the control signal when the voltage level of the reference voltage signal is equal to the predetermined voltage level.

Abstract:
An on-die termination (ODT) circuit may include an ODT synchronous buffer and/or an ODT gate. The ODT synchronous buffer may be configured to generate a synchronous ODT command from an external ODT command in synchronization with a first clock signal delay-locked to an external clock signal. The ODT gate may be configured to generate signals for controlling ODT based on a second clock signal delay-locked to the external clock signal and the synchronous ODT command. The synchronous ODT command may be generated in a disabled period of the second clock signal.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus compensating for disc eccentricity includes extracting eccentricity data from a tracking error signal having one period, generated by a tracking servo, detecting parameter values of an eccentricity component extracted during the extraction of the eccentricity data and transforming a reference sine wave based on the detected parameter values of the eccentricity component. The eccentricity data is replaced with the transformed reference sine wave and the replaced eccentricity data is added to the tracking error signal to compensate for the disc eccentricity.

An output driver capable of controlling a short circuit current includes a driving unit and a driving control unit. The driving unit receives a first driving signal and a second driving signal in response to a control signal and generates an output signal. The driving unit control unit includes a driving unit copying unit having the same construction as the driving unit and compares an output copying signal generated from the first and second driving signals by the driving unit copying unit with a reference voltage and generates the control signal that controls delays of the first and second driving signals in a test mode.
Abstract:
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit includes an MOS transistor acting as a trigger for the circuit. A drain region of the MOS transistor is formed by an N-type heavily doped impurity region which overlaps an N-type well region. Further, a P-type heavily doped impurity region is formed in the N-type well region. The N-type and P-type heavily doped impurity regions are electrically connected to an input/output pad. The ESD protection circuit exhibits a reduced input capacitance at the pad, and a reduced breakdown voltage of the MOS transistor.
