Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of image processor, and particularly relate to a kind of image processor of digital display.
Background technology
For a long time, and cathode ray tube (Cathode Ray Tube, CRT) Display Technique is the main flow of display always, goes through the refining of quenching of many decades, its development of technologies is very ripe.In recent years, because digitized trend of the times, Display Technique has also had sizable change, and digital display is a dark horse, and the situation that replaces CRT monitor is arranged greatly.
Be different from the function mode of traditional analog formula display, digital display has replaced the electron beam of CRT monitor with digital signal, therefore can be more frivolous, and also allow the people break away from the puzzlement that radiation and picture flash.Present digital display technique is with LCD (liquid crystal display, LCD) and Plasma Display (plasma display panel, PDP) be main flow, for now, be beneficial to that small size shows and domestic TV still under the situation based on CRT at liquid crystal technology, still the application with lcd technology is comparatively extensive on the market.
In application facet such as personal computers,, so after LCD must be digital signal with analog signal conversion, could be shown because the display card (VGAcard) of present many computer systems all can only be exported analog signal of video signal.For this reason, the image processor of LCD need just unavoidablely AFE (analog front end) (analog front end, AFE) device and ratio processor (scalar), carry out works of treatment such as conversion of signals and convergent-divergent computing.Wherein, analog front-end device is in order to being digital image signal with the analog image conversion of signals, and the ratio processor is then according to digital image signal computing in addition, to present the image of different resolution.Certainly in addition, also need some other peripheral circuit to be responsible for the transmission of signal and the binding on the hardware, can constitute the image processor of telotism.
Please refer to Fig. 1, it shows traditional image processor calcspar.Image processor comprises peripheral circuit 120 and analog front-end device 130, in order to handle the signal of video signal from 110 feed-ins of display card.Because analog signal of video signal is made up of red, green, blue three looks, so just need three groups of identical circuit to handle danger signal, green and blue signal in the signal of video signal respectively in peripheral circuit 120 and the analog front-end device 130; Drawing is clear easily to be distinguished in order to make, and one of them thinks representative only to show three groups of circuit, and in hereinafter being illustrated.
The signal of video signal that display card 110 is exported can utilize current source Iv equivalence, and signal of video signal can be sent to analog front-end device 130 to carry out analog/digital conversion work behind cable (cable) feed-in peripheral circuit 120; It should be noted that the resistance R 1 that is illustrated in display card 110 and the peripheral circuit 120, R2 and capacitor C are the RC equivalent electric circuits in order to expression cable and signal transmission path, share same earth terminal GND.
On the other hand, include three groups of converter circuits in the analog front-end device 130, shown in the figure be red color converter, green conversion device or blue converter one of them, in order to analog image is signal digitalized.Clamp (clamp) device 131 can remain on the signal of video signal of 120 feed-ins of peripheral circuit the level (level) of setting, then, signal of video signal can utilize input buffer (input buffer) IB to be cushioned earlier, (analog/digital converter, ADC) 135 to carry out analog/digital conversion for the feed-in analog/digital converter again.In addition, variable current source Ioff be coupled to earth terminal Ground after resistance R is connected, can reach the purpose of adjusting gain (gain) and making up for voltage (offsetvoltage) by the adjustment of variable current source Ioff and resistance R.
The signal that analog front-end device 130 is received be by the display card 110 in a distant place through cables and circuit board (printed circuit board, PCB) institute's feed-in, on using, such signal kenel normally single-ended (single-ended); Considered that noise (noise) suppresses etc. all multifactor, the signal processing in the analog front-end device 130 must adopt difference (differential) signal.Therefore, signal of video signal can utilize input buffer IB to convert thereof into differential signal after clamp device 131 outputs.In the single-ended process that converts differential signal to, can run into a problem: based on the distorted signals that difference caused of reference ground level (reference ground level).Briefly, because the earth terminal GND of 110 references of display card is different (relevant with frequency with the earth terminal Ground of input buffer IB reference, because bondinginductance is arranged), just can produce distortion in the single-ended process that converts differential signal to, and be distinguished by people's naked eyes.Power supply (power) planning of the wiring (layout) of distortion size and peripheral circuit 120 and analog front-end device 130 inside is closely bound up, if the design of ground plane (ground plane) and power-supply system (power system) better (as 4 layers of version) during wiring, or the analog front-end device 130 more pin relevant with electrical arrangement (pin)-for example AD9884 that adopt own, can allow the situation of distortion more not obvious.But the complexity in the time of can improving circuit design like this, and the expenditure of increase hardware cost.
Another method of head it off is to adopt the difference input, please refer to Fig. 2, and it shows the image processor calcspar of adopting the difference input.The input of employing difference has many benefits, and except solving aforementioned problem of dtmf distortion DTMF (because being the difference input this moment), the layout on the peripheral circuit 220 is also comparatively symmetrical.But this measure needs many pins (every group of transducer of single-ended input only needs an input pin), and the circuit of analog front-end device 230 may be more complicated (making up for voltage-regulating circuit and must realize in addition as Fig. 1).In practical application, the circuit in the analog front-end device 130 can be integrated in the chip (chip), if one group of many pin of transducer, three groups of transducers such as redness, green, blueness have just had more three pins; Such design may not be certain and can be accepted, because this representative must be used the packing (cost is higher) than the multiway number, maybe must sacrifice other pin position (consideration on function or the performance).
Summary of the invention
