Abstract
An integrated circuit device includes an amplifier circuit that includes first and second differential transistor pairs that are selectively operable responsive to at least one bit of a multi-bit data signal.
Claims1
An integrated circuit device, comprising:
- a first decoder that is configured to select a first gray scale input voltage responsive to at least one bit of a multi-bit data signal;
- a second decoder that is configured to select a second gray scale input voltage responsive to the at least one bit of the multi-bit data signal;
- and
- an amplifier circuit comprising a single pull-up transistor, a single pull-down transistor, a first sub amplifier, and a second sub amplifier, the first and second sub amplifiers being selectively operable responsive to at least one other bit of the multi-bit data signal;
- wherein the first sub amplifier has a first input terminal connected to the first gray scale input voltage, a second input terminal connected to a common node of the pull-up and pull-down transistors, and an output terminal directly connected a gate of the pull-up transistor;
- the second sub amplifier has a first input terminal connected to the second gray scale input voltage, a second input terminal connected to the common node of the pull-up and pull-down transistors, and an output terminal directly connected to a gate of the pull-down transistor;
- and
- wherein the first and second decoders are not responsive to the at least one other bit of the multi-bit data signal.
