Abstract
A source driver and an operation method thereof are provided. The source driver includes an output buffer, a feedback switch, and a feedback voltage generating circuit. The output buffer receives the input voltage and produces an output voltage. The first terminal and the second terminal of the feedback switch are respectively coupled to the input terminal and the output terminal of the output buffer. During an overdrive period, the feedback switch is turned off, and the feedback voltage generating circuit outputs a feedback voltage to the output buffer. The feedback voltage is lower than the output voltage when the input voltage is in a rising mode. The feedback voltage is higher than the output voltage when the input voltage is in a falling mode. During a normal driving period, the feedback switch is turned on, and the feedback voltage generating circuit does not output the feedback voltage.
