Abstract:
A DC-DC converter includes first and second converters. The first converter generates a first power voltage based on a power voltage from an input terminal, and outputs the first power voltage to a first output terminal. The second converter generates a second power voltage based on the input power voltage, and outputs the second power voltage to a second output terminal. The second converter includes a plurality of inverting converters and a controller. The inverting converters generate a check current to check a connection state of an inductor when the inductor is connected. The second power voltage is generated by converting the input power voltage in response to a PWM signal. The controller generates a driving control signal based on the check current to operate a predetermined number of the inverting converters connected to the inductor, and to control the inverting converters based on the driving control signal.

A power supply circuit has a first voltage converter and a second voltage converter. The first voltage converter generates a first power supply voltage having a first voltage level based on an input voltage. The first power supply voltage drives a first power node of a display in a first mode. The second voltage converter generates a second power supply voltage having a second voltage level based on the input voltage. The second power node is driven by the second power supply voltage in the first mode and is driven by a ground voltage in a second mode.
