Summary:
An LCD Driver IC includes more than 300 buffer amplifiers on a single chip. The phase compensation capacitors (on-chip Miller capacitors) for the amplifiers are more than 1000 pF and occupy a large chip area. This paper describes a two-gain-stage amplifier in which an on-chip Miller capacitor is not used for phase compensation in an LCD Driver IC. In the proposed amplifier, phase compensation is achieved only by a newly introduced zero, which is formed by the load capacitance and a phase compensation resistor connected between the output of the amplifier and the capacitive load. Designs of the phase compensation resistor and the amplifier before compensation are discussed, considering a typical load capacitance range. The test chip was fabricated. The newly introduced zero successfully stabilized the amplifier. The chip area for the amplifier was reduced by 30-40%, compared with our previously reported one. The current consumption of the amplifier was only 5 µA. The experimental results of the fabricated test chip support that the proposed amplifier is suitable to an LCD driver IC with a smaller chip area.
