Gate driver fall time compensation

A method of compensating a fall time of a gate driver in a display system, the display system including a display panel, the gate driver, and a compensation unit, the method comprising:

• receiving a control signal by the gate driver and by a replica gate driver included in the compensation unit;
• generating, based on the control signal, a gate signal and a replica gate signal by the gate driver and the replica gate driver, respectively;
• AC coupling the replica gate signal by an AC coupler included in the compensation unit and outputting from the AC coupler the AC coupled replica gate signal to a peak RMS detector included in the compensation unit;
• calculating a peak RMS of the AC coupled replica gate signal by the peak RMS detector and outputting the peak RMS from the peak RMS detector;
• comparing by a comparator the peak RMS and a reference voltage to output a comparator value;
• and
• generating a digital output count by a counter logic that is controlled by the comparator value, the digital output count being a compensation value that is used to adjust the gate driver and the replica gate driver.
