Cross-Connected Compensation Capacitors for Fast Source Driver Reset

The patent applies dynamics by making the compensation capacitor configuration changeable during operation. The switch circuit dynamically reconfigures the capacitors between series and parallel connections based on operational requirements, allowing the system to achieve high speed when needed while maintaining low power consumption during normal operation. This is achieved through control signals that activate specific switch configurations at different times.

The patent implements periodic action by using distinct time periods for different capacitor configurations. During normal operation, capacitors are in series configuration for low power consumption. During reset periods, the capacitors are switched to parallel configuration for fast voltage transitions. This periodic switching between configurations allows the system to alternate between power-saving mode and high-speed mode.

The patent makes the compensation capacitor configuration dynamic by allowing switching between series and parallel connections. During normal operation, the series configuration provides smaller effective capacitance for faster slew rate. During reset operations, the parallel configuration provides larger effective capacitance for faster settling. This dynamic reconfiguration resolves the contradiction by having both small and large capacitance available at different times.

The patent changes the capacitance parameter by reconfiguring the physical connection of capacitors. The same physical capacitors can present different effective capacitance values depending on whether they are connected in series or parallel. This parameter change allows the system to optimize between slew rate (requiring small capacitance) and settling time (requiring large capacitance) without adding additional capacitor components.

The patent uses periodic action by implementing fast reset operations at specific intervals rather than continuously. The capacitors are switched to parallel configuration only when reset operations are needed, rather than maintaining that configuration continuously. This allows the amplifier to operate at higher frequencies for high-resolution displays while consuming low power during normal operation between reset events.

The patent applies dynamics by making the capacitor configuration adaptive to operational needs. The system dynamically switches between series and parallel configurations based on whether fast reset is required. This allows the amplifier to maintain high-frequency operation capability for high-resolution displays while spending most time in the low-power series configuration, thus supporting high productivity without continuous high power consumption.
