Abstract: A reference voltage generator includes a detecting voltage provider, a comparator, and a core circuit. The detecting voltage provider provides a detecting voltage with a first voltage level corresponding to a voltage coefficient. The comparator compares the first voltage level of the detecting voltage with a plurality of sampled amplitudes of an input signal to respectively generate a plurality of comparison results. The core circuit is used to: collect a plurality of first comparison results associated with a current received bit of a preset value from the comparison results; take the voltage coefficient as a first boundary voltage coefficient in response to the first comparison results satisfying a first condition; take the voltage coefficient as a second boundary voltage coefficient in response to the first comparison results satisfying a second condition. The reference circuit generates a reference voltage according to the first and second boundary voltage coefficients.

Abstract: A differential input circuit and a driving circuit including the same are provided. The differential input circuit transforms an analog voltage signal corresponding to a sensing line on an OLED panel to a pair of differential input signals being output to a gain amplifier. The differential input circuit includes a sampling circuit and a scaling circuit. The sampling circuit receives the analog voltage signal and a reference voltage through a first scaling path and a second scaling path, respectively. The scaling circuit includes a first scaling path and a second scaling path. The first scaling path and the second scaling path collectively generate the pair of differential input signals, based on a first shift voltage, a first scaled voltage, a second shift voltage, and a second scaled voltage. The first shift voltage is less than the second shift voltage.
