Low-Power High-Speed Data Serializer for Mobile TFT-LCD Driver ICs

Abstract

A novel data serializer is proposed for use in mobile TFT-LCD driver ICs. The proposed data serializer adopting hierarchical switching and repeater/separator schemes provides 82% power reduction and 27% speed improvement with 27% area saving. Measured overall power consumption of a TFT-LCD driver IC with the proposed data serializer was reduced by as much as 49%.
