Abstract:
The present disclosure provides D flip-flops and signal driving methods using D flip-flops thereof. An exemplary D flip-flop includes a pulse signal generating circuit configured to input a first clock signal, a first data signal, a second data signal and a third data signal and generate a clock pulse signal. The clock pulse signal responds a rising-edge and a falling-edge of the first clock signal. The pulse clock signal is a pulse signal when the first data signal is opposite to the second data signal. The D flip-flop also includes a latching circuit configured to sample and transfer the first data signal and a data signal opposite to the first data signal to be used as the second signal and a fourth data signal respectively when the clock signal is at the high level.
Abstract:
Two gate drivers each comprising a shift register and a demultiplexer including single conductivity type transistors are provided on left and right sides of a pixel portion. Gate lines are alternately connected to the left-side and right-side gate drivers in every M rows. The shift register includes k first unit circuits connected in cascade. The demultiplexer includes k second unit circuits to each of which a signal is input from the first unit circuit and to each of which M gate lines are connected. The second unit circuit selects one or more wirings which output an input signal from the first unit circuit among M gate lines, and outputs the signal from the first unit circuit to the selected wiring(s). Since gate signals can be output from an output of a one-stage shift register to the M gate lines, the width of the shift register can be narrowed.

Abstract:
One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for capturing and holding a level of an input signal using a latch circuit that presents a low number of loads to the clock signal. The clock is only coupled to a bridging transistor and a pair of clock-activated pull-down or pull-up transistors. The level of the input signal is propagated to the output signal when the storage sub-circuit is not enabled. The storage sub-circuit is enabled by the bridging transistor and a propagation sub-circuit is activated and deactivated by the pair of clock-activated transistors.

Abstract:
The present disclosure provides techniques for using an NMOS field effect transistor-based buffer to buffer a pair of complementary digital signals and output a pair of equivalently fast rising and fast falling complementary signals to simultaneously drive a differential pair of PMOS transistors of a unit cell that output an analog signal for a current steering DAC. Accordingly, a DAC comprises a latch circuit and a unit cell circuit. The latch circuit includes an NMOS field effect transistor-based buffer and is capable of receiving a first digital signal and a clock signal and outputting a second digital signal through the NMOS field effect transistor-based buffer according to the clock signal. The second digital signal is associated with the first digital signal. The unit cell circuit, coupled to the latch circuit, receives the second digital signal and outputs an analog signal representative of the first digital signal.
Abstract:
An energy efficient logic gate circuit design that provides a substantially constant load to a clock source regardless of logic signal inputs to, or outputs from, the gate. The gate provides two complementary outputs and utilizes cross-coupled transistors to ensure that the outputs remain valid (complementary) after the logic inputs become invalid. Two blocks, each having a node coupling to the clock source and performing complementary logic functions, in combination with diodes for recharging the outputs of the gate, present the constant load to the clock source.
