Description of the Invention (l) The present invention relates to digital analog converters, and particularly relates to digital analog converters with gamma correction. t (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) The output voltage of a traditional digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is required to have a linear relationship with the input digital value as much as possible. However, In specific applications, the value of the DAC's output voltage must be non-green. For example, in the application of liquid crystal display (LCD), the relationship between liquid crystal brightness and voltage is not a linear relationship, so a correction circuit must be used for compensation. This type of correction circuit is generally called a Gamma correction circuit. -° Please refer to the R-DAC architecture shown in Figure 1. It is a traditional DAC with a gamma correction circuit. It mainly uses the ROM decoder i to decode the digital data of D0 ~ D5, and then the reference voltage generator 2 Select the corresponding resistor divider output. Although the method is simple, taking the application of LCD as an example, when the number of gray levels increases, the area of the above-mentioned architecture will also increase sharply. For example, the area of 256-level R_DAC is about 64, which is 5.3 times. . Therefore, in LCD applications, DAc occupies most of the area of the digital data driver. The consumer cooperative of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs printed the circuit structure of the 2-divided C-DAC as shown in Figure 2. It is another DAC with a gamma correction circuit. Although it has a smaller area than the R-DAC, its The number of capacitors used is quite large, and the area occupied by the capacitors is not small, so there is still room for improvement. In order to improve the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to propose a digital analog converter with a simple circuit structure and a smaller area and a Gamma correction circuit, the area of which is smaller than that of traditional R-DAC and 2-divided C-DAC.

Load distribution operation, and the corresponding voltage of each of the above 2-bit (m-bit) data sets is combined into an analog output voltage, and the second capacitor C2 and the second and third switches S2 and S3 Connect the node output. The above-mentioned first to sixth switches can be implemented by, for example, MOS transistors, and the gates thereof receive the control signals of the timing control circuit to complete the switching operation. Assume that the input 8-bit digital data (4 small a a mountain)] is u 0000111]. Please refer to Figure 3. The high-order data in the register [d7d6 d5] is Π 00]. After the first decoding @ 31 is decoded, the above-mentioned endpoint voltage selection device 30 is controlled to output the endpoint voltage%. And% are used as the first voltage VB and the second voltage ντ, respectively. μ is then controlled by a timing control circuit (not shown), and the displacement register 36 sequentially outputs [d0 0], [d2 mountain], and ⑷tun] for the above-mentioned decoder decoding. After the conversion between the first voltage% and the second electrical and analog voltages is obtained, refer to the steps shown in Table 1 below. ^ 'I' means that the switch is on, and 0, means that the switch is off.

Please refer to Figure 4, which shows the conversion curve of a 256 gray-scale DAC. Figure 4 is an eight-step stepped gamma correction curve. The end points of the curve No. to N8 are mainly corresponding to the selection of the above-mentioned end point voltages V0 to V8. If the above-mentioned endpoint voltages V0 ~ V8 are adjusted to equal difference stages, the gamma correction curve can become a linear conversion curve of a conventional DAC. Therefore, the DAC of the present invention can further provide the function of allowing the messenger to define the gamma correction curve required by himself, thereby improving the flexibility of the application.
