Abstract: A source driver including an output buffer and a feedback circuit is provided. The output buffer includes an input stage circuit, an output stage circuit, a rising control circuit, and a falling control circuit. The input stage circuit correspondingly generates a first gate control voltage and a second gate control voltage according to an input voltage and a first feedback voltage. The output stage circuit correspondingly generates an output voltage according to the first gate control voltage and the second gate control voltage. The feedback circuit generates and outputs the first feedback voltage corresponding to the output voltage to the input stage circuit. The rising control circuit and the falling control circuit compare the input voltage with the first feedback voltage, and pull down (or pull up) the first gate control voltage and the second gate control voltage according to the comparison result.
