A DC-DC converter includes a power switch and a switching controller. The power switch is repetitively turned on and off for generating an output DC voltage based on an input DC voltage. The switching controller controls operation of the power switch, and includes a slew rate controller to adjust a slew rate of a switch voltage of an electrode of the power switch to vary with time.

Exemplary embodiments of present invention relate to an error detecting apparatus for a gate driver improving a reliability of a display apparatus, a display apparatus having the error detecting apparatus, and a method of detecting an error of the gate driver using the error detecting apparatus. An exemplary embodiment discloses an error detecting apparatus including an error detecting part configured to receive a gate signal of a gate driver and determine whether a status of the gate driver is in a normal status or an error status based on the gate signal, a memory configured to store the status of the gate driver, and a signal outputting part configured to selectively output a clock signal and an error signal based on the status of the gate driver stored in the memory.
