The present invention provides a circuit for driving a flat panel display,
including a storage capacitor, a transmission gate and a current-limiting
transistor. A first terminal of the storage capacitor is coupled to a
system voltage, and a second terminal of the storage capacitor is at
storage voltage. A first input/output terminal of the transmission gate
is coupled to the storage voltage, and the second input/output terminal
of the transmission gate is coupled to the data current source. A first
gate terminal of the transmission gate is coupled to the first signal; a
second gate terminal of the transmission gate is coupled to the second
signal. A gate terminal of the current-limiting transistor is coupled to
the storage voltage, wherein a first source/drain terminal is coupled to
the system voltage, and a second source/drain terminal provides current
for driving the flat panel display.
