Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a circuit that has a similar function to that of a known circuit with a simple configuration without the need of a synchronizing signal. SOLUTION: The signal detection circuit that constructs a detection signal of a 2-feeding power supplies and one transmission line to be a positive and a negative changes in at least one supply voltage on wiring of the transmission line is provided with a low pass filter 20 that applies a prescribed reference voltage V+ nearly equal to a voltage of a line selected in advance from two lines connected to the two lines of the transmission line at its filter output terminal, a 1st threshold comparator 21 that has a reference input terminal 27 and a threshold input terminal 29 connected respectively to the output terminal 18 of the filter 20 and the pre-selected line in the two lines, and a 2nd threshold comparator 22 that has a reference input terminal 28 and a threshold input terminal 30 respectively connected to the pre-selected line in the two lines and the output terminal of the filter 20. The detection circuit is configured comparatively simply and requires no synchronizing signal for its operation and needs only a very small area for the provision of an integrated circuit.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain two ways of use for enabling finding out the advantageous use of a charge pump MOS voltage booster and boosters of this type. SOLUTION: A voltage booster is equipped with four MOS transistors (M1, M2, M3, M4) in place of a classical diode showing an undesirable voltage drop and with an oscillator having two output terminals and two corresponding charge transfer capacitors, in place of a classical oscillator of a single output having relevant charge transfer capacitors. In this method, the undesirable voltage drop substantially does not exist, and ripples are reduced without making a circuit complicated.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a system for driving columns of a liquid crystal display comprising a logic circuitry (10) operating in a supply path between a first (VDD) and a second (VSS) supply voltage in which the first supply voltage is (VDD) higher than the second supply voltage (VSS). The logic circuitry (10) is capable of generating starting from the first logic signals (LOW_FRAME, WHITE_PIX) in input second logic signals (CP, CN, CP_N, CN_N) in output whose value is equal to the first (VDD) or second (VSS) supply voltage. The device comprises two elevator devices (11, 12) coupled to the logic circuitry (10) and operating in a supply path between a third supply voltage (VLCD) greater than the first supply voltage (VDD) and the second supply voltage (VSS); the elevator devices (11, 12) are capable of raising the value of the second logic signals (CP, CN, CP_N, CN_N). The device also comprises a first (T11-T12) and a second (T13-T14) pair of transistors shaving different supply paths (VLCD-VA, VB-VSS) and having an output terminal (OUT) in common; the first (T11-T12) and the second (T13-T14) pair of transistors are connected to the elevator devices (11, 12) so as to determine the drive signal of a column. The device comprises turnoff circuitry (15) operating in a supply path between the third (VLCD) and the second supply voltage (VSS) and coupled to the two elevator devices (11, 12). The circuitry (15) is capable of keeping one of the two pairs of transistors (T11-T12, T13-T14) in a turnoff state in the period of time of a frame when the other of the two pairs of transistors (T11-T12, T13-T14) is in operative conditions.

The circuit is relatively simple, does not require synchronization signals, and can be formed as an integrated circuit, taking up a limited area.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a circuit device for protection against electrostatic discharge, and being immune to the latch-up phenomenon. The circuit device is of the integrated type in a portion of a semiconductor integrated circuit. The device includes an active limiting element and a resistor connected in series between a terminal of the active element connected to an input/output pin of the integrated circuit, and a terminal of a circuit to be protected. The active element is a bipolar transistor having a base terminal and an emitter-acting collector terminal connected together.
