Abstract

A low power regenerative feedback device and method automatically increases bias current during positive large-signal slewing, enabling output to change faster. When the device is not in a positive slew, bias currents are unchanged, providing a low standby current. Since regenerative feedback is internal and automatic to the device, current is increased only for the device driving an active column of an LCD panel. Thus, the present invention is power efficient. In addition, the AC response of the device is preserved because the device utilizes a regenerative feedback circuit that does not add appreciable excess phase shift. The device achieves an output that switches readily from positive supply to negative supply.
