The electrostatic protection switching element Nj is, for example, an NMOS transistor, but may be another type of field effect transistor.
A specific implementation of the display driver chip disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in conjunction with fig. 3, fig. 5, and fig. 6.
As shown in fig. 6, the display driver chip 10 disclosed in the foregoing embodiment of the present invention is, for example, disposed in an LED lamp panel 100, and the LED lamp panel 100 includes: the LED lamp comprises a power supply chip 101, M X N LED lamp strings 102, a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, M display driving chips 10 and a third resistor Rup. The mentioned LED string 102 includes S LEDs connected in series, S being a positive integer not less than 1.
Each LED string 102 includes a first connection end 1021 and a second connection end 1022. The power chip 101 includes a first voltage output terminal O1 and a second voltage output terminal O2, wherein the first voltage output terminal O1 is connected to the first connection terminal 1021 of each LED string 102. The first resistor R1 is connected between the first voltage output terminal O1 and the second voltage output terminal O2. The second resistor R2 is connected between the second voltage output terminal O2 and ground. Each display driver chip 10 includes, for example: the N ports to be tested 11(out1-outN) are correspondingly connected to the second connection terminals 1022 of the N LED light strings 102, where N is a positive integer greater than 1, and M is a positive integer not less than 1. One end of the third resistor Rup is connected to the ground terminal, and the other end is connected to the first port 16 of each display driving chip 10.
Since the structure of each display driver chip 10 is the same, the following description will be made by taking one of the display driver chips 10 as an example. As shown in fig. 3, the control circuit outputs a first enable signal EN1 to the first switch element N1, for example, when the first enable signal EN1 is "0", the first switch element N1 is in a non-conductive state, the display driving chip 10 does not perform voltage detection, and when the first enable signal EN1 is "1", the first switch element N1 is in a conductive state, the display driving chip 10 starts performing voltage detection. For example, if the first enable signal EN1 is "1", the display driving chip 10 performs voltage detection, and the multiplexer M1 is provided with 16 voltage input ends, for example, 16 voltage thresholds may be configured, but this embodiment is not limited thereto, the multiple voltage input ends of the multiplexer M1 may be set according to actual requirements, the control circuit inputs the voltage selection signal SEL to the multiplexer M1, and the multiplexer M1 selects a target voltage threshold from the 16 voltage thresholds input by the 16 voltage input ends based on the voltage selection signal SEL and outputs the target voltage threshold to the comparator C1 in each voltage detection circuit, where the voltage selection signal SEL is composed of 4 bits, for example. The comparator C1 in each voltage detection circuit receives the same target voltage threshold, and then compares the target voltage threshold with the measured voltage value to obtain a voltage comparison signal, and outputs the voltage comparison signal to the detection output circuit 13, where if the measured voltage value is that the voltage at the port to be detected is higher than the target voltage threshold, it represents that the voltage at the port to be detected is higher, and otherwise, it represents that the voltage at the port to be detected is lower. For example, the measured voltage value is 2V, the target voltage threshold value is 1V, and the comparator C1 compares the measured voltage value with the target voltage threshold value to obtain a voltage comparison signal "1", which indicates that the voltage at the corresponding port to be measured is higher. Each voltage detection circuit 12 in the display driving chip 10 performs the voltage detection process disclosed above to obtain a corresponding voltage comparison signal.
As shown in fig. 5, after the detection output circuit 13 receives the N voltage comparison signals, the N voltage comparison signals are subjected to and logic processing, that is, when only the N voltage comparison signals are all "1", it indicates that the measured voltage values of the corresponding N ports to be detected (OUT1-outN) are all higher than the target voltage threshold, at this time, the detection output circuit 13 outputs a voltage detection signal FB _ OUT represented by a high level, where the detection output circuit 13 is a circuit in an existing display driver chip, and a specific circuit structure of the detection output circuit 13 is not described in detail herein. The detection output circuit 13 outputs a voltage detection signal FB _ OUT, which is inverted by the inverter F1 to obtain an inverted voltage detection signal represented by a low level, and the inverted voltage detection signal is sent to the second control terminal of the second switch element N2, and then the second switch element N2 processes the inverted voltage detection signal to obtain a voltage detection signal FB _ OUT represented by a high level, and the voltage detection signal FB _ OUT is output from the first port 16, wherein the input of the second control terminal of the second switch element N2 is a high level, the output of the second output terminal is a low level, otherwise, the input of the second control terminal of the second switch element N2 is a low level, and the output of the second output terminal is a high level.
As shown in fig. 6, since the first ports 16 of all the cascaded display driver chips 10 are "wired and" connected together outside the chip, a wired and is realized through the third resistor Rup, that is, only the first ports 16 of all the display driver chips 10 output high levels, that is, the voltages of the ports to be tested of all the display driver chips 10 are high at this time, which means that the first voltage VLED output by the power chip 101 is high, and a voltage reduction process is required to be performed, if the first port 16 of any one of the display driver chips 10 outputs low level, which means that the voltages of the ports to be tested inside one or more display driver chips 10 are low in the LED lamp panel 100 at this time, and the first voltage VLED output by the power chip 101 is low at this time, and a voltage boosting process is required to be performed, so that a user can manually adjust the first voltage VLED output by the power chip 101.

A specific embodiment of the display driving chip disclosed in this embodiment is illustrated in conjunction with fig. 9 and 10.
As shown in fig. 10, the display driver chip 20 disclosed in the foregoing of the embodiment of the present invention is, for example, disposed in an LED lamp panel 200, and the LED lamp panel 200 includes: the LED lamp comprises a power supply chip 201, M X N LED lamp strings 202, a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, M display driving chips 20 and a third resistor Rup.
Each LED light string 202 includes a first connection end 2021 and a second connection end 2022. The power chip 201 includes a first voltage output terminal O1 and a second voltage output terminal O2, wherein the first voltage output terminal O1 is connected to the first connection terminal 2021 of each LED string 202. The first resistor R1 is connected between the first voltage output terminal O1 and the second voltage output terminal O2. The second resistor R2 is connected between the second voltage output terminal O2 and ground. Each display driving chip 20 includes: the N ports to be tested 21(out1-outN) are correspondingly connected to the second connection terminals 2022 of the N LED light strings 202, where N is a positive integer greater than 1, and M is a positive integer not less than 1. One end of the third resistor Rup is connected to the ground terminal, and the other end is connected to the first port 26 of each display driving chip 20. Wherein the second port 28 of the target display driver chip of the M display driver chips 20, e.g., the leftmost display driver chip in fig. 10, is connected to the second voltage output terminal O2.
For the process of each display driving chip 20 outputting its own voltage detection signal FB _ OUT from the first port 26, reference may be made to the description of the first embodiment, and no further description is provided herein.
The display driving chip disclosed in the first embodiment needs a user to manually adjust the first voltage VLED after outputting the voltage detection signal, and the display driving chip disclosed in this embodiment adds an automatic voltage adjustment function on the basis of the display driving chip disclosed in the first embodiment, that is, the first output voltage VLED can be automatically adjusted after the voltage detection is completed, and the principle is as follows:
each display driving chip 20 outputs a voltage detection signal FB _ OUT from the first port 26, the LED lamp panel 200 connects the first ports 26 of all the display driving chips 20 together through a third resistor Rup line, when the voltage detection signals FB _ OUT output by all the display driving chips are at a high level, the line and result is at a high level, when the voltage detection signal FB _ OUT of one display driving chip is at a low level, the voltage detection signals output by the first ports 26 of all the display driving chips are at a low level, the line and result is at a low level, that is, the voltage detection signals output by each display driving chip 20 are processed inside the LED lamp panel 200, that is, the aforementioned line and process are performed to obtain the processed voltage detection signals, wherein when the voltage detection signals output by each display driving chip 20 are at a high level, the processed voltage detection signals are at a high level, when there is a low level of the voltage detection signal output from the display driving chip 20, the processed voltage detection signal is at a low level.
The detection output circuit 23 of the display driver chip 20 is connected to the first port 26 through a buffer H1 in the driving enhancement circuit 29, so that the processed voltage detection signal can be read from the first port 26, wherein the buffer 29 is used for enhancing the driving capability. The detection output circuit 23 may then output a current regulation signal to the current regulation circuit based on the processed voltage detection signal FB _ OUT _ R, i.e., the detection output circuit 23 determines whether to step up or step down the processed voltage detection signal FB _ OUT _ R. For example, if the voltage detection signal FB _ OUT output by one display driver chip 20 of the N display driver chips 20 is at a low level, and the voltage detection signals FB _ OUT output by the other display driver chips 20 are at a high level, the result of the external wired-and of the display driver chips 20 is at a low level, so that the processed voltage detection signal FB _ OUT _ R is at a low level, and after the output detection circuit 23 receives the processed voltage detection signal FB _ OUT _ R at the low level, the output detection circuit outputs a current adjustment signal to the current adjustment circuit 27 for current adjustment, so as to increase VLED.
Specifically, the current input block 271 and the current adjusting block 272 constitute a current mirror circuit, wherein the current input block 271 receives an input current I0 from an external current source, the first current adjusting switch element D1 in the current adjusting block 272 is connected to the detection output circuit 23, when the current adjusting signal inputted from the detection output circuit 23 is "1", the corresponding first current adjusting switch element D1 is in a conducting state, and when the current adjusting signal is "0", the corresponding first current adjusting switch element D1 is in a non-conducting state, and the current adjusting signal is changed to complete the adjustment of the input current so as to output the target current I1 to the second port 28.
Wherein, any one of the M display driver chips 20 is selected as a target display driver chip, and the second port 28 thereof is connected to the second voltage output terminal O2, at this time, the target current output from the target display driver chip can be equivalent to a pull-down resistor R, and the voltage regulation formula is: VLED ═ Vref (1+ R1/(R2| | | R)), where Vref is the reference voltage inside the power chip 202. The detection output circuit 23 of the target display driver chip continuously calculates the output current adjustment signal according to the processed voltage detection signal FB _ OUT _ R until VLED reaches an ideal value, that is, the voltage values of all the ports to be tested are higher than the target voltage threshold, and VLED is the lowest.
In summary, in the present embodiment, the current adjusting circuit 27 connected to the detection output circuit 23 and the driving enhancement circuit 29 connected between the first port 26 and the detection output circuit 23 are disposed in the display driving chip 20, so that current adjustment based on the processed voltage detection signal can be realized, and automatic detection of the channel voltage and automatic adjustment of the channel voltage can be realized.

The display driver chip 30 disclosed in this embodiment is different from the display driver chip disclosed in the foregoing embodiment in that the display driver chip 30 disclosed in this embodiment can support two voltage regulation functions, namely, the automatic voltage regulation function disclosed in the foregoing second embodiment and the non-automatic voltage regulation function disclosed in the foregoing first embodiment, specifically, the display driver chip 30 disclosed in this embodiment further includes: the mode switching circuit 40 is connected to the control circuit 34, the output control circuit 35, the current adjusting circuit 37, and the fourth port 38.
Each voltage detection circuit 32 is configured to detect a measured voltage value corresponding to a voltage value of the connected LED lamp panel, compare the measured voltage value with a target voltage threshold value to obtain a voltage comparison signal, and output the voltage comparison signal to the detection output circuit 33, the detection output circuit 33 is configured to generate a voltage detection signal based on the voltage comparison signal output by each voltage detection circuit 32, and the detection output circuit 33 is further configured to receive a processed voltage detection signal input from the third port 36 through the drive increasing circuit 39, and output a current adjustment signal to the current adjusting circuit 37 based on the processed voltage detection signal, so that the current adjusting circuit 37 adjusts the input current based on the current adjustment signal to obtain a target current.
When the display driver chip 30 operates in the auto voltage regulation mode, the control circuit 34 inputs the auto voltage regulation signal to the mode switching circuit 40, so that the mode switching circuit 40 outputs the voltage detection signal to the third port 36 for output, and outputs the target current output by the current regulation circuit 37 from the fourth port 38.
When the display driver chip 30 operates in the non-auto voltage regulation mode, the control circuit 34 inputs the non-auto voltage regulation signal to the mode switching circuit 40, so that the mode switching circuit 40 transmits the voltage detection signal to the output terminal 38.
The scheme shown in fig. 12 is compatible with the two embodiments, and since different chip packages and power chip types have different requirements for voltage detection, the structure shown in fig. 12 can realize switching between the auto-regulated voltage mode and the non-auto-regulated voltage mode, and certainly when the display driver chip 30 adopts different modes, the circuit architecture outside the display driver chip 30 needs to be changed accordingly. It should be noted that fig. 12 only illustrates one voltage detection circuit 32, but the invention is not limited thereto, and it should be noted that each voltage detection circuit 32 is connected to the corresponding LED string through the port 31 to be tested, for example.
Further, as shown in fig. 12, the mode switching circuit 40 includes, for example: a first selector B1, a second selector B2, a third selector B3, and a third switching element N3.

The control circuit 34 outputs, for example, a mode selection signal RG _ FB _ AUTO to the first selector B1, the second selector B2, and the third selector B3, wherein when the mode selection signal RG _ FB _ AUTO is "1", the corresponding mode selection signal is an AUTO voltage regulation signal, the current operation mode of the display driver chip 30 is an AUTO voltage regulation mode, and then the third port 36 and the fourth port 38 in the display driver chip 30 have the same functions as the first port 26 and the second port 28 in the second embodiment, so that the voltage detection process described in the foregoing second embodiment can be implemented. When the mode selection signal RG _ FB _ AUTO is "0", the corresponding mode selection signal is a non-AUTO voltage regulation signal, and the current operating mode of the display driver chip 30 is a non-AUTO voltage regulation mode, that is, only voltage detection is performed, and the output voltage VLED of the power supply chip is regulated externally or manually, and at this time, the fourth port 38 of the display driver chip 30 has the same function as the first port 16 of the first embodiment, so that the voltage detection process described in the foregoing first embodiment can be implemented.

When the display driver chip 30 operates in the auto voltage regulation mode, the first selector B1 outputs the inverted voltage detection signal FB _ DET outputted from the inverter F1 to the second switch element N2 for processing, and outputs the voltage detection signal FB _ OUT to the third port 36, the second selector B2 outputs the high level signal '1' to the third control terminal of the third switching element N3, and the third selector B3 outputs the target current I1 to the third switching element N3, the third switching element N3 outputs the target current to the fourth port 38, thereby achieving the automatic voltage detection and automatic voltage regulation functions similar to those disclosed in the foregoing second embodiment, in which the third port 36 and the fourth port 38 have the same functions as the first port 26 and the second port 28 in the second embodiment.
In addition, when the display driving chip 30 operates in the non-auto voltage adjusting mode, the first selector B1 outputs the high level signal "1" to the second switching element N2, so that the first port 36 does not output the voltage detection signal FB _ OUT, the third selector B3 outputs the low level signal, e.g., "0", to the third switching element N3, the second selector B2 outputs the inverted voltage detection signal FB _ DET obtained by processing the voltage detection signal FB _ OUT by the second inverter F2 to the third switching element N3 for processing, and outputs the voltage detection signal FB _ OUT to the fourth port 38, thus, the automatic voltage detection and manual voltage adjustment functions similar to those disclosed in the first embodiment described above are achieved, and the fourth port 38 has the same function as the first port 16 in the first embodiment. It should be noted that the aforementioned second inverter F2 may also be the same inverter as the inverter F1, that is, the fourth selection input terminal of the second selector B2 may be directly connected to the inverting output terminal of the inverter F1.
It should be noted that the display driving chip 30 disclosed in this embodiment is, for example, disposed in the LED lamp panel, for example, as shown in fig. 13, the LED lamp panel 300 further includes: the LED lamp comprises M X N LED lamp strings, a power supply chip 301, a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2 and a third resistor Rup.

When the display driver chips 30 operate in the auto voltage regulation mode, the other end of the third resistor Rup is connected to the third port 36 of each display driver chip 30, and the fourth port 38 of a target display driver chip, for example, the leftmost display driver chip in fig. 13, in the M display driver chips 30 is connected to the second voltage output terminal O2. Or when the display driving chips 30 operate in the non-automatic voltage regulation mode, the other end of the third resistor Rup is connected to the fourth port 38 of each display driving chip 30.

Certainly, in other embodiments of the present invention, the compatibility of two operating modes of the display driver chip may also be implemented on the same LED lamp panel, as shown in fig. 13, a 0 ohm resistor is welded on the PCB of the LED lamp panel 300 to implement the compatibility of two operating modes in the display driver chip, that is, when each display driver chip 30 operates in the automatic voltage regulation mode, a 0 ohm resistor between the fourth port 38 and the second voltage output terminal O2 is welded, a 0 ohm resistor between the third port 36 of each display driver chip 30 and the third resistor Rup is welded, and other 0 ohm resistors are not welded; when each display driving chip 30 operates in the non-automatic voltage regulation mode, the 0 ohm resistor between the fourth port 38 and the third resistor Rup of each display driving chip 30 is welded, and the other 0 ohm resistors are not welded.
