應可理解,隨著LED顯示驅動晶片13a的通道數的增加,該修調位元胞131Ta和該讀出單元131Ra的數量也必須對應的增加。然而,該修調位元胞131Ta和該讀出單元131Ra之數量的增加卻也同時提升了LED顯示驅動晶片13a之功耗。

因此,在具有本發明之修調電路131的情況下,當所述LED顯示驅動晶片13進行出廠前的最終測試(Final test,FT)時,若有必要對該LED顯示驅動晶片13進行修調處理,則可以將使能信號EN的準位拉高,使該偏置電路1313產生第一啟動電壓VBP和第二啟動電壓VBN傳送至該讀出電路1312,進以啟動該讀出電路1312之運行。同時,一輸入修調碼傳送至該修調單元1311,使該修調單元1311在N個所述修調位元胞131T分別燒寫一個修調位元(即,位元1、位元2、...、位元N)。接著,讀出電路將1312自該修調單元1311讀出N個所述修調位元,分別由該鎖存單元1314的N個所述鎖存器131R依據一時鐘信號CLK進行一位元鎖存操作。在完成以上操作之後,拉低使能信號EN的準位,使該偏置電路1313而停止產生所述啟動電壓,藉此方式停止該讀出電路1312的運作,結束該LED顯示驅動晶片13之修調階段。
Therefore, in the case of having the trimming
在LED顯示驅動晶片13的正常使用的過程中,晶片上電之後需要將燒寫在該修調單元1311之中的N個修調位元(即,一組修調碼)讀出。此時,先將使能信號EN的準為拉高,使該偏置電路1313產生第一啟動電壓VBP和第二啟動電壓VBN傳送至該讀出電路1312,進以啟動該讀出電路1312之運行。讀出電路將1312自該修調單元1311讀出N個所述修調位元,分別由該鎖存單
元1314的N個所述鎖存器131L依據一時鐘信號CLK進行一位元鎖存操作。在完成以上操作之後,拉低使能信號EN的準位,使該偏置電路1313而停止產生所述啟動電壓,藉此方式停止該讀出電路1312的運作,結束該LED顯示驅動晶片13之修調碼載入操作。特別地,在該使能信號EN的控制下,本發明之修調電路僅在晶片上電後工作極短時間,而後即進入關閉狀態,因而不會增加LED顯示驅動晶片13的功耗。
