Second output stage 224, it can directly or indirectly be coupled to this second input stage 222, and can dispose provides the second output signal SO2 with the driving display panel.For example, second output stage 224 can comprise one drive circuit, drives this display pannel with the output signal according to second input stage 222.This second output stage 224 can comprise a charge path between this second intermediate power supplies node P23 and this second output node O2, and one between this second output node O2 and should low power supply node P24 between discharge path.Therefore, this second output stage 224 is used for the second output driving scope of driving display device, and promptly the driving scope of the second output signal SO2 can be limited to through above-mentioned second intermediate power supplies VCA2 and low power supply VSSA.
This charge path can be practiced as a current source, and this current source can provide one to flow to the electric current of the second output node O2 from middle power supply node P23, so that this second output node O2 is charged.And this discharge path can be practiced as an electric current groove (Current Sink), and this electric current groove can make electric current flow into and should hang down power supply node P24 from this second output node O2, so that this second output node O2 is discharged.
For example; When the level of the second input signal SI2 that is positioned at noninverting input node IN2 (+) is higher than the second output signal SO2 that is coupled to anti-phase input node IN2 (-); The charge path meeting conducting of second output stage 224; And the output load on the display pannel is charged, use the level of drawing high the second output signal SO2.Otherwise; When the level of the second input signal SI2 that is positioned at noninverting input node IN2 (+) is lower than the second output signal SO2 that is coupled to anti-phase input node IN2 (-); The discharge path meeting conducting of second output stage 224; And the output load on the display pannel is discharged, use the level that drags down the second output signal SO2.
Benefit from the above-mentioned power supply arrangement of being done for this first output stage 214; This first amplifier circuit 210 can to drive scope (being confined between VCCA and the VDDA) than the output of first amplifier circuit 110 (Fig. 1) also little because of it exports driving scope (being confined between VCA1 and the VDDA), and on dynamic power consumption, reduce to some extent.More clearly say it, first amplifier circuit 110 and 210 both input stages all operate on the opereating specification that is confined between VDDA and the VSSA, thereby can have identical power consumption.On the other hand, first output stage 214 of first amplifier circuit 210 can have identical dynamic power consumption for charging process, but then has lower power dissipation for discharge process.Generally speaking, first amplifier circuit, 210 less total power consumptions capable of using are operated.
In Fig. 2; First input stage 212 has accounted for minor role in the general power consume of first amplifier circuit 210; Reason is that first output stage 212 is to operate with a steady-state current; And compare for the operating current of first output stage 214 that must possess enough driving forces for this display pannel, this steady-state current can be much lower.Because first output stage 214 of contribution is the main status that has accounted for the general power consume of first amplifier circuit 210 to some extent on dynamic power consumption reduces, therefore the consume of first amplifier circuit, 210 general powers can have sizable ratio to be saved.
For example,, and suppose down long-time with the situation of VCA1=(VDDA+VSSA)/2,<i Charge1>=<i Discharge1>, wherein<i Charge1>With<i Discharge1>Represent mean charging current and average discharge current respectively, then the average power consumption of first output stage 214 in first amplifier circuit 210 is:
<P>=<i charge1>×(VDDA-V O1)+<i discharge1>×(V O1-VCA1)=<i charge1>×(VDDA-VCA1)
=<i charge1>×(VDDA-VSSA)/2.
As a result, compared to the output stage (in Fig. 1) of first amplifier circuit 110, first output stage 214 can have only half the power consumption.
Similarly; Benefit from the above-mentioned power supply arrangement of being done for this second output stage 224; This second amplifier circuit 220 can to drive scope (being confined between VCCA and the VDDA) than the output of second amplifier circuit 120 (Fig. 1) also little because of it exports driving scope (being confined between VSSA and the VCA2), and on dynamic power consumption, reduce to some extent.More clearly say it, second amplifier circuit 120 and 220 both input stages all operate on the opereating specification that is confined between VDDA and the VSSA, thereby can have identical power consumption.On the other hand, second output stage 224 of second amplifier circuit 220 can have identical dynamic power consumption for discharge process, but then has lower power dissipation for charging process.Generally speaking, second amplifier circuit, 220 less total power consumptions capable of using are operated.
In Fig. 2; Second input stage 222 has accounted for minor role in the general power consume of second amplifier circuit 220; Reason is that second input stage 222 is to operate with a steady-state current; And compare for the operating current of second output stage 224 that must possess enough driving forces for this display pannel, this steady-state current can be much lower.Because second output stage 224 of contribution is the main status that has accounted for the general power consume of second amplifier circuit 220 to some extent on dynamic power consumption reduces, therefore the consume of second amplifier circuit, 220 general powers can have sizable ratio to be saved.
For example,, and suppose down long-time with the situation of VCA2=(VDDA+VSSA)/2,<i Charge2>=<i Discharge2>, wherein<i Charge2>With<i Discharge2>Represent mean charging current and average discharge current respectively, then the average power consumption of second output stage 224 in second amplifier circuit 220 is:
<P>=<i charge2>×(VCA2-V O2)+<i discharge2>×(V O2-VSSA)=<i charge2>×(VDDA-VCA2)
=<i charge2>×(VDDA-VSSA)/2.
As a result, compared to the output stage (in Fig. 1) of second amplifier circuit 120, second output stage 224 can have only half the power consumption.
In summary, because first output stage 214 has and above-mentionedly is coupled to the first intermediate power supplies VCA1 but not is coupled to the discharge path of low power supply VSSA, therefore the consume of the dynamic power of first amplifier circuit, 210 discharge processes can save effectively.In addition, because second output stage 224 has and above-mentionedly is coupled to the second intermediate power supplies VCA2 but not is coupled to the charge path of higher power vd DA, therefore the consume of the dynamic power of second amplifier circuit, 220 charging processes can save effectively.Generally speaking, the total power consumption of source drive apparatus 200 can reduce compared to conventional source driver device 100 effectively.
Though above-mentioned first and second amplifier circuit 210 and 220 is shown as the unity gain amplifier circuit, yet other kinds configuration is possible.Unique requirement can be that one of them amplifier circuit comprises an input stage and an output stage that is coupled between VCA1 (greater than VSSA) and the VDDA that is coupled in VSSA and VDDA, and the another one amplifier comprises an input stage and an output stage that is coupled between VSSA and the VCA2 (being lower than VDDA) that is coupled in VSSA and VDDA.Therefore, all different amplifier circuit are inverting amplifier circuits for example, all can use.

(in Fig. 2) is similar in fact with first and second amplifier circuit 210 and 220; First amplifier circuit 310 can dispose provides the first output signal SO1; With on first an output driving scope of limiting to, drive a display pannel, and second amplifier circuit 320 can dispose the second output signal SO2 is provided by VCA1 and VDDA; With on second an output driving scope of limiting to, drive this display pannel by VSSA and VCA2.
First amplifier circuit 310 can comprise two resistance R 11 and R12, and an amplifier circuit 210.Resistance R 11 can be coupling between the anti-phase input node IN1 (-) of one first input signal SI1 and this first amplifier circuit 210.Resistance R 12 can be coupled between the output node O1 of this anti-phase input node IN1 (-) and this first amplifier circuit 210.Therefore, first amplifier circuit 310 can have one depend on resistance R 11 and R12 gain.
Second amplifier circuit 320 can comprise two resistance R 21 and R22, and an amplifier circuit 220.Resistance R 21 can be coupling between the anti-phase input node IN2 (-) of one second input signal SI2 and this first amplifier circuit 220.Resistance R 22 can be coupled between the output node O2 of this anti-phase input node IN2 (-) and this second amplifier circuit 220.Therefore, second amplifier circuit 320 can have one depend on resistance R 21 and R22 gain.
Because first and second amplifier circuit 320 and 330 keeps first and second amplifier circuit 210 and 220 (in Fig. 2) respectively, so the power consumption of source drive apparatus 300 (in Fig. 3) can reduce because of similar reason.
