However, when the power supply to the source driver is turned off, the voltage supplied to the source driver is reduced. Because the voltage is insufficient, the channel may malfunction, which may cause abnormal images on the display, such as line defects ( Line Defects or Band Mura. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a source driver and a noise suppression method thereof that can reduce an abnormal image displayed on a display when the power supply is turned on/off. Another object of the present invention is to provide a source driver, and a voltage drop detector for measuring the power supply of the helmet, and to determine whether the current state is "on/off", if Then a Reset Signal is generated. In accordance with the above objects of the present invention, it is proposed that the noise benefit of the noise-receiving-source driver output at least includes a data bus, a plurality of channels, and a plurality of outputs. The channel is multi-plagiarized with a latch-lock unit, and the data is transmitted in the data sink = out, each channel has a generation. Material " quiet / m · row, and stored in the latch lock early / the original drive can be powered by the power supply wheel "voltage. The above method includes at least the following steps. First judge = whether the power supply voltage is insufficient, if not enough First discriminate the younger brother - in the data convergence, it is set to a pre-::=. First 峨 ' ' to make the data output from the (four) unit., 拴 早 早 早 早 早 早 早 早 早 早 维持 维持 维持 维持 维持 维持 维持 维持 维持 维持 维持 维持 维持According to another source voltage according to the present invention, the source driver can be powered by a power supply of 6 200912861. The source driver includes at least one data bus, at least two channels, a multiplexer, at least two output pads, and a voltage drop detector. Each channel has a latching unit, and the data is transmitted on the data busbar and stored in the latch unit. The output pads are coupled via the multiplexer. The voltage drop detector is used to detect whether the first supply voltage is insufficient by the power supply output, and if it is insufficient, a reset signal is generated. If the reset signal is generated, it is transmitted on the data bus. The material is set to a preset value, and the latch unit is turned on to output the data from the latch unit, and the multiplexer is turned on to output a driving voltage via the output pad according to the data. [Embodiment] In order to make the description of the present invention For more detailed and complete, refer to the following descriptions and the diagrams of Figures 2 to 4. Please refer to Figure 2, which is a schematic diagram of a source driver in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The source driver 2 is powered by a power supply 202, and the source driver 200 includes at least a plurality of channels (channel 208, channel 210, ...), at least one multiplexer 212, and a plurality of outputs. The pad (output pad 214, output pad 216...) is coupled to the channel via a multiplexer 212, a voltage sharing switch 22A, a voltage drop detector 204 is coupled to the power supply pirate 202, and a controller 2 〇6 is connected to the voltage drop detector 2〇4. The voltage sharing switch 220 is electrically connected between the output pads 214 and 216 to evenly divide the voltage of the output terminal when needed. The power supply 2〇2 can provide high One of the potentials of the first supply voltage and one of the low potentials Should be voltage. ', 曰 曰 pressure drop detector 204 can determine whether the power is positive or closed, if 疋, then generate a reset signal RS. The power on / off determination is detected by the 200912861 slave power supply 202 Whether one of the first supply voltage and the second supply voltage is insufficient, that is, whether it is below a certain threshold. The re-signal RS will be sent to the controller 2〇6. The controller 2〇6 is then A control signal CN is generated according to the reset signal RS', and the control signal cn is transmitted to the voltage sharing switch 220 to turn off the voltage sharing switch 22A. The control signal CN is further transmitted to the multiplexer to disconnect the channel and The output pad is connected. Therefore, when the power supply 2〇2 supplied to the source driver is about to be turned on/off, abnormal data may not be transmitted to the output pad. Therefore, when the f € source supply 11 is turned on/off, the display will continue to display the original image. Referring to Figure 3, there is shown a schematic view of another source driver in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The source driver in FIG. 3 is powered by a power supply 302, and the source driver 3 includes at least a channel 308 and a channel 310, a multiplexer 312, an output pad 314 and an output pad 316, and a data sink. The row 318, a voltage equalizing switch 32A, a voltage drop detector 304 are connected to the power supply 3〇2, and the controller 3〇6 is connected to the voltage drop detector 304. Output pad 314 and output pad 316 are coupled to channel 308 and channel 31 by multiplexer 312. The voltage sharing switch 32 is electrically coupled between the output pad 314 of the source driver 300 and the output pad 316 to equally divide the voltage at the output of the wheel. Each channel has a shift register (322 or 332), a latch unit (323 or 333), a one-bit shifter (328 or 338), and a digital/analog converter (DAC) (330 or 34〇). Each of the lock units includes at least a first check lock (324 or 334) and a second lock (326 or 336) in series. The data is transmitted to the data bus 318 and stored in the pick-up unit. Further, the data is first stored in the first latch and then stored in the second latch. 200912861 When the power supply 302 is normally powered to the source driver 3〇〇, the data in the channel will be transferred to the multiplexer 3丨2, and then transmitted to a display via the output pad 3 14 and the wheel pad 316 (not drawn Shown in the figure) to display the corresponding image on the display. However, when the power supply 3〇2 is about to be turned on or off, the voltage transferred to the source driver 300 starts to be insufficient. If the voltage output from the power supply 302 is insufficient, the voltage drop detector 3〇4 generates a reset signal RS, and sends the reset signal RS to the controller 3〇6 to generate a signal according to the reset signal RS. The control signal CN^ is transmitted to the voltage sharing switch 320 to turn off the voltage sharing switch 32A. Then, the control signal CN is also transmitted to the data bus 318 to set the data transmitted on the data bus 318 to a preset value. Moreover, the control signal CN is also transmitted to the latch units 323 and 333' to keep the latch units 323 and 333 open, whereby the data is output from the latch units 323 and 333. The control signal CN is further transmitted to the multiplexer 312 to keep the multiplexer 312 turned "on" to output a driving voltage via the output port according to the above-mentioned data. Therefore, the output 1314 and the round out 316 will output a preset voltage to a display (as shown in the figure, when the power supply is turned on/off, the display will display the corresponding black or white picture. Yes, in other embodiments of the present invention, the voltage sharing switch is selective. Therefore, in other embodiments of the present invention, when the power supply 302 is about to be turned on or off, that is, the first supply voltage is insufficient. When the step of turning off the voltage sharing switch is also the preferred implementation of the invention, the step of maintaining the latch unit is turned on by holding the second shackle. The structure and weight of the pressure drop detector are described in detail below. The signal is generated in 200912861. Please refer to FIG. 4, which is a schematic diagram of a voltage drop detector according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The voltage drop detector 3〇4 in FIG. 4 includes at least a first voltage divider 402, a second voltage divider 404, a first comparator 406, a second comparator 4〇8, a first inverter 410, a second inverter 412, and a first a three-inverter 414, a fourth inverter 416, a one-bit shifter 418, a fifth inverter 420 and an OR gate 426. The gate 426 includes at least one inverse 422 in series with a sixth inverter 424. The first voltage divider 402 includes resistors ri to R7 connected in series, and The second voltage divider 4〇4 includes resistors R11 to R16 connected in series. The first voltage divider 402 generates a first divided voltage vA1′ according to the first supply voltage VDDA′ output from the power supply, and the second voltage divider 4〇4 generates a second divided voltage vD1 according to the second supply voltage VDDD output from the power supply. The first comparator 406 compares the first divided voltage Vai with the threshold voltage vTH, and generates a first comparison signal RSA. If the first divided voltage vA1 is less than the threshold voltage Vth, the first comparison signal RSA is high, indicating that the power supply is insufficient due to the power supply being turned on/off. If the first divided voltage vAI is greater than The threshold voltage, the first comparison signal RS A is low, indicating that the power supply is normally powered to the source driver. Similarly, the second comparator 408 compares the second divided voltage ν〇ι with the threshold voltage vTH 'and generates - Second comparison signal RSD. If If the second divided voltage vD1 is lower than the threshold voltage Vth, the second comparison signal RSD is high, indicating that the power supply is about to be turned on/off. If the second divided voltage V(1) is greater than the threshold voltage vTH, the second comparison signal RSD is Low potential means that the power supply 10 200912861 is normally supplied to the source driver. The first supply voltage vdda is higher than the second supply voltage VDDD, the first supply voltage VDDA is a high voltage, and the first comparator is a high voltage component. The second comparator is a low voltage component, and the setting and changing of the first divided voltage vA1, the second divided voltage Vm, and the threshold voltage VTH can be determined by the user. The threshold voltage VTH is generated by a circuit that is not easily affected by the output voltage drop of the power supply. For example, it can be a Band_gap Voltage Generator. The first comparison §fl RS A will pass through the first inverter. 41 〇 and second inverter 412' are transmitted to one of the inputs of OR gate 426. The second comparison signal rSD is transmitted to the level shifter 418 via the third inverter 414 and the fourth inverter 416 to shift the level of the second comparison signal RSd. The second comparison signal RSD whose level has been shifted is again transmitted to the other input of the OR gate 426 via the fifth inverter 420. If the first comparison signal RSa and the second comparison signal RSD are both low, the OR gate 426 outputs a low potential signal, indicating that the power supply is normally supplied to the source driver, and therefore, the reset signal is not generated. Conversely, if the first comparison signal RSA and/or the second comparison signal RSD are high, the gate 426 outputs a high potential signal indicating that the power supply is about to be turned on/off, and the reset signal RS is generated. In view of the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention, it is an advantage of the present invention that the present invention can reduce an abnormal image displayed on the display when the power supply is turned on/off. According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention described above, another advantage of the present invention is that the present invention uses a voltage drop detector to detect whether the power supply is being turned on/off. If so, a reset command is generated. Although the present invention has been described above in terms of a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to be a part of the invention, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of the invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims.
