    摘要: The disclosure includes: a differential amplifier, and a first decoder assigning and supplying a first or second voltage to each of a plurality of input terminals based on (K+1) bits of digital data. The differential amplifier includes 2K differential pairs each driven by a tail current received individually, and a tail current control circuit supplying first to 2Kth tail currents to the 2K differential pairs and controlling first to 2Kth current ratios for the first to 2Kth tail currents based on the digital data. The tail current control circuit has a basic configuration that sets each of the first to 2Kth current ratios to a maximum value, a minimum value, or an intermediate value among three predetermined values, and increases one of the maximum and minimum values and decreases the other for the current ratio of the tail currents supplied to two predetermined differential pairs.

    摘要: A digital-to-analog conversion circuit, a data driver including the same, and a display device are provided. The circuit includes: a reference voltage generation part, generating a reference voltage group having different voltage values; a decoder, selecting and outputting multiple reference voltages with overlapping from the reference voltage group based on the digital data signal; an amplification circuit, where m (m being an integer of 1 or more and less than x) of first to xth input terminals respectively receive m of multiple reference voltages, and, as an output voltage, a voltage amplified by averaging the voltages respectively received by the first to xth input terminals with predetermined weighting ratios is output; and a selector, which, in a first selection state, supplies the output voltage to (x-m) input terminals among the first to xth input terminals, and in a second selection state, supplies the reference voltages to the (x-m) input terminals.

    摘要: A thermometer-coded Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) is described, whose output is changed with fast speed, and reduced output overshoot or undershoot. The thermometer-coded DAC has selection switches and an up/down counter, with DAC codes separated into higher and lower bits. The lower bits increase up to a maximum code, then decrease. The configuration of resistors in the DAC reduces output spike, especially at the DAC code changing point.

    摘要: Provided is a solid-state imaging device capable of increasing the speed of an A/D converter. The solid-state imaging device includes a successive approximation A/D converter that performs A/D conversion on an analog pixel signal. The successive approximation A/D converter includes a D/A converter, a comparator, and a successive approximation register. The D/A converter converts a digital reference signal to an analog reference signal. The successive approximation register operates based on the result of comparison by the comparator to generate the digital reference signal in such a manner that the analog reference signal approximates the analog pixel signal. The D/A converter includes a split capacitor, first capacitors, second capacitors, a switch array, a third capacitor, and a multiplexer. The first capacitors each have a first electrode coupled to the output node. The second capacitors are coupled to a second electrode of the split capacitor. The switch array is coupled to a second electrode of each of the first and second capacitors and is adapted to generate the analog reference signal at the output node by selectively applying a first reference voltage. The third capacitor is coupled to the second electrode of the split capacitor. The multiplexer is coupled to a second electrode of the third capacitor and is adapted to generate the analog reference signal at the output node by selectively applying a second reference voltage.
