图4是依照本发明一实施例说明一种驱动电路100的时序图。请同时参照图1至图4,针对驱动电路100的操作细节,详细来说,当驱动电路100操作于初始时间区间T1时,控制信号CS1可以被设定至高电压电位(如,电压电位V11),以使切换开关SW1可以依据控制信号CS1而切换至节点A,并导通传送电路120与传输通道CH之间的数据传输路径。此外,控制信号CS2可以被设定至高电压电位(如,电压电位V21),以使切换开关SW2可依据控制信号CS2而被断开。换言之,在初始时间区间T1中,传送电路120、传输通道CH以及源极驱动电路200的接收电路210可以形成第一数据传输路径。FIG. 4 is a timing diagram illustrating a
进一步来说,在初始时间区间T1中,传送电路120可以通过所述第一数据传输路径来提供数据信号TX至接收电路210,以使驱动电路100以及源极驱动电路200皆能够确认所述第一数据传输路径已形成。其中,本实施例的数据信号TX可以为差动信号,并且,当所数第一数据传输路径形成时,所述差动信号的正极性信号以及负极性信号可以被设定为高电压电位。Further, in the initial time interval T1, the transmitting
值得一提的是,当驱动电路100从初始时间区间T1切换至检测时间区间T2的过程中,控制信号CS2可以先被设定至低电压电位(如,电压电位V22),以使切换开关SW2可依据控制信号CS2而被导通。接着,当驱动电路100操作于检测时间区间T2时,控制信号CS1可以再被设定为低电压电位(如,电压电位V12),以使切换开关SW1可以依据控制信号CS1而切换至节点B,并导通检测电路110与传输通道CH之间的数据传输路径。在此同时,切换开关SW3可以依据被设定为致能状态的控制信号CS3而被导通,以使驱动电路100可以开始启动检测电路110的检测机制。换言之,在检测时间区间T2中,检测电路110、传输通道CH以及源极驱动电路200的参考接地端GND可以形成第二数据传输路径。It is worth mentioning that, when the driving

具体来说,在正常显示时间区间T3中,传送电路120可以依据检测电路110所提供的数据调整信号DAS,来将数据信号TX的多个设定值进行调整与设定。举例来说,同样假设于检测时间区间T2时,计数器130的计数结果表示检测信号DS的检测时间TDS是介于5ns至6ns。在此情况下,在正常显示时间区间T3中,传送电路120可以依据数据调整信号DAS,来将数据信号TX的电压振幅电位SW调整为200mV,预加重系数PEMP调整为1.5dB,以及等化系数EQ调整为3dB。藉此,传送电路120可以通过所述第一数据传输路径,将经调整的数据信号TX传送至对应的源极驱动电路200。Specifically, in the normal display time interval T3 , the
换言之,无论驱动电路100与源极驱动电路200之间的传输通道CH的通道长度为何,本实施例的驱动电路100皆可以根据检测电路110所检测的结果来自行对应的调整数据信号TX的多个设定值,而不需要通过额外的技术人员来根据不同的传输通道CH的通道长度以对所述数据信号TX中的多个设定值进行调整,进而提升整体的工作效率且降低人力成本。In other words, no matter what the channel length of the transmission channel CH between the driving
图6是依照本发明一实施例的驱动电路100的驱动方法的流程图。请同时参照图1以及图6,在步骤S610中,驱动电路可以由检测电路产生检测信号至传输通道,并依据检测信号的检测时间以检测传输通道的通道长度,且由检测电路依据检测时间以产生数据调整信号。在步骤S620中,驱动电路可以由传送电路产生数据信号,并依据数据调整信号以调整数据信号的多个设定值。FIG. 6 is a flowchart of a driving method of the driving

综上所述,本发明的驱动电路可以在检测时间区间时,通过检测电路的检测机制以获得对应的传输通道的通道长度,并依据通道长度(或检测信号的检测时间)来提供数据调整信号至传送电路。藉此,传送电路可以在正常显示时间时,依据数据调整信号来调整数据信号的多个设定值。如此一来,无论驱动电路与源极驱动电路之间的传输通道的通道长度为何,本发明的驱动电路可不需要通过额外的技术人员来根据不同的传输通道的通道长度以对所述数据信号中的多个设定值进行调整,进而提升整体的工作效率且降低人力成本。To sum up, the driving circuit of the present invention can obtain the channel length of the corresponding transmission channel through the detection mechanism of the detection circuit during the detection time interval, and provide the data adjustment signal according to the channel length (or the detection time of the detection signal) to the transmission circuit. Thereby, the transmission circuit can adjust a plurality of setting values of the data signal according to the data adjustment signal during the normal display time. In this way, no matter what the channel length of the transmission channel between the driving circuit and the source driving circuit is, the driving circuit of the present invention does not require additional technical personnel to adjust the data signal according to the channel length of different transmission channels. The multiple setting values can be adjusted to improve the overall work efficiency and reduce labor costs.
