This paper describes the design and test of a novel custom driving circuit for multi-quantum-well (MQW) spatial light modulators (SLMs).Unlike previous solutions,we integrated all blocks in one chip to synchronize the control logic circuit and the driving circuits.Single-slope digital-to-analog converters (DACs) inside each pixel are not adopted because it is difficult to eliminate capacitor mismatch.64 column-shared 8-bit resistorstring DACs are utilized to provide programmable output voltages from 0.5 to 3.8 V.They are located on the top of 64 × 64 driving pixels tightly to match each other with several dummies.Each DAC performs its conversion in 280 ns and draws 80 μA.For a high speed data transfer rate,the system adopts a 2-stage shift register that operates at 50 MHz and the modulating rate achieves 50 K frames/s while dissipating 302 mW from a 5-V supply.The die is fabricated in a 0.35μm CMOS process and its area is 5.5 × 7 mm2.
