    摘要: Described is a system and method for driving columns of an active matrix display using a resistor-string digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The description includes an auto-stop buffer circuit that drives an analog data voltage in two steps--the first step being active buffering by a "dead-zone amplifier" before the output reaches a certain level and the second step being acting as a passive conduit after the output reaches the certain level. The dead-zone amplifier inherently turns itself off when the analog voltage reaches the certain level. Also described are various column driver architectures in which buffers are placed in various ways in a column driver in between the resistor-string DAC and the column decoders in order to minimize the number of required buffers.

    摘要: New very high-speed CMOS techniques are used to achieve a CMOS driver operating at gigabaud speeds. Such a driver may be manufactured more easily than drivers that use GaAs or bipolar techniques and further may be easily integrated with other CMOS circuits. A communication system utilizing the gigabaud CMOS driver may additionally include a receiver with on-chip termination to significantly reduce distortion in the presence of parasitic capacitance in inductance in comparison to a receiver with external termination. Furthermore, the communication system may include a phase tracker and a frame aligner. The phase tracker continously monitors the most frequent transition edges in the oversampled data so that the phase of the receiver clock keeps track of the sender clock. The frame aligner comprises a comma detector which enables instant synchronization of data words with a single comma character within a serial data stream.

    摘要: Multiple controllable delays reduce EMI radiated during the transmission of multiple synchronized signals. Each controllable delay introduces a controlled delay into a corresponding signal being transmitted. The controlled delay is such that the combined strength of the multiple signals at peak frequencies is substantially reduced. This results in reduced EMI radiation at those peak frequencies.

    摘要: Switches and capacitors are efficiently used to passively change the voltage level on column electrodes without active driving by the column driver circuit. This significantly reduces the power needed by the column driver circuit to drive voltages of alternating polarity onto the column electrodes. In this way, significant power is saved in both the pixel inversion and the row inversion schemes. The average power savings of various of the embodiments exceeds 50% compared with a simple conventional implementation of a column driver circuit. Another aspect similarly reduces the power used by the column driver circuit in the back plane switching scheme.

    摘要: Additional information on the phase of an external clock signal is obtained by using clock signals to determine if a phase difference between an external clock signal and a first internal sampling clock signal is less than a pre-selected value. If the system determines that the phase difference is less than a pre-selected value, one embodiment samples the incoming data with a second internal sampling clock signal, having a selected phase relationship to the first internal sampling clock signal, such as ½ a clock period out of phase. By maintaining sufficient phase difference between the active edge of the external clock and the active edge of the internal sampling clock, the embodiment provides a sufficient setup/hold margin to avoid a metastability or other problem in a subsystem receiving data across an asynchronous boundary.
