In addition, the circuit that is adopted in high tension voltage position quasi converter 220 and the low voltage voltage position quasi converter 230, as shown in Figure 3, it is the circuit diagram of common voltage level transducer.
For instance, suppose that the high-pressure side signal HD that input logic circuit 210 inputs to voltage level transducer input SI is a high state, its voltage level equals VCC; And input to voltage level transducer input SIB is the inversion signal of high-pressure side signal HD, is low state, and its voltage level equals VSS, then transistor Q3 with conducting, and transistor Q4 will end.Wherein, voltage level V1 just equals voltage level VB.

Though this case utilizes the voltage level transducer of Fig. 3 to be used as the high tension voltage position quasi converter 220 of this case and the embodiment of low voltage voltage position quasi converter 230, but content of the present invention is not limited to this, all scopes that the voltage level transducer of the accurate conversion in voltage of signals position is all content of the present invention that reaches.
According to above-mentioned narration about gate driver circuit 20 internal structure squares as can be known, the output circuit of high-pressure side driving stage 240 adopts PMOS to be used as driving stage output precision 242, therefore can avoid under general high voltage manufacturing process, the high voltage differential that is produced between edge of substrate (bulk) when driving stage output precision 242 adopts NMOS and the source terminal is further to prevent matrix effect (body effect).
For the operation workflow of the gate driver circuit 20 of further setting forth Fig. 2 in the content of the present invention, please refer to shown in Figure 4ly, it is the flow chart of the grid drive method of content of the present invention.At first, import one group of input signal to logical circuit 210, by signal input part HI and LI as step S410.
Because gate driver circuit 20 is in operation, low voltage detector 260 can detect the low-pressure end power supply VM of (comprising low voltage voltage position quasi converter 230 and low-pressure end driving stage 250) at any time, to monitor low-pressure end power supply VM whether less than a default value, as step S420.Therefore, input logic circuit 210 can decide the result of its output according to the result that low voltage detector 260 detects.
As low-pressure end power supply VM during less than this default value, as step S421, low voltage detector 260 can output one control signal to input logic circuit 210, forcing input logic circuit 210 is low state by the output signal PH that high-pressure side signal HD controls high-pressure side driving stage 240, and also is low state by the output signal PL that low-pressure end signal LD controls low-pressure end driving stage 250.
As low-pressure end power supply VM during more than or equal to this default value, as step S430, input logic circuit 210 directly will convert high-pressure side signal HD and low-pressure end signal LD to by the received input signal of signal input part HI, LI, and respectively high-pressure side signal HD is sent to high tension voltage position quasi converter 220, and low-pressure end signal LD is sent to low voltage voltage position quasi converter 230.
Then, as step S440, high tension voltage position quasi converter 220 can utilize its inner circuit structure, the voltage-operated position of changing high-pressure side signal HD is accurate, just according to the state of high-pressure side signal HD, decide two anti-phase high-pressure sides that export high-pressure side driving stage 240 to export the state of control signal HH and HL, with the state of the last output signal PH that exports of further decision high-pressure side.
And on the other hand, as step S440, low voltage voltage position quasi converter 230 also can utilize its inner circuit structure, the voltage-operated position of changing low-pressure end signal LD is accurate, just according to the state of low-pressure end signal LD, decide the state of the low-pressure end output control signal LX that exports low-pressure end driving stage 250 to, with the state of the last output signal PL that exports of further decision low-pressure end.In addition, this moment, low-pressure end output control signal LX was because be in order to open or to close driving stage output precision 251 and 252, can operate within the scope of VSS ~ VM in theory.
Because high-pressure side output control signal HH is sent to the driving stage output precision 241 of high-pressure side driving stage 240, in order to the switch switching of controlling and driving level output precision 241; High-pressure side output control signal HL then is sent to the driving stage output precision 242 of high-pressure side driving stage 240, in order to the switch switching of controlling and driving level output precision 242.In addition on the one hand, low-pressure end output control signal LX is sent to the driving stage output precision 251 and 252 of low-pressure end driving stage 250, in order to the switch switching of controlling and driving level output precision 251 and 252.
Therefore, as step S450, high-pressure side driving stage 240 will be exported the state of control signal HH and HL according to high-pressure side, decide the switch of corresponding driving stage output precision 241,242 to switch, and be high state or low state with the output signal PH that controls high-pressure side; Low-pressure end driving stage 250 will be exported the state of control signal LX according to low-pressure end, decide the switch of driving stage output precision 251,252 to switch, and be high state or low state with the output signal PL that controls low-pressure end.
HH is low state when high-pressure side output control signal, and high-pressure side output control signal HL is when being high state, and high-pressure side output control signal HH can make 241 conductings of driving stage output precision, and high-pressure side output control signal HL then can make driving stage output precision 242 end.Therefore, the high-pressure side of this moment is output as high state, and just output signal PH equals voltage level VB.
HH is a high state when high-pressure side output control signal, and high-pressure side output control signal HL is when being low state, and high-pressure side output control signal HH can make driving stage output precision 241 end, and high-pressure side output control signal HL then can make 242 conductings of driving stage output precision.Therefore, the output of the high-pressure side of this moment is low state, and just output signal PH equals voltage level VS.
When low-pressure end output control signal LX was low state, low-pressure end output control signal LX can make 251 conductings of driving stage output precision, and the control signal of low-pressure end output simultaneously LX also can make driving stage output precision 252 end.Therefore, the low-pressure end of this moment is output as high state, and just output signal PL equals voltage level VM.
When low-pressure end output control signal LX was high state, low-pressure end output control signal LX can make driving stage output precision 251 end, and the control signal of low-pressure end output simultaneously LX also can make 252 conductings of driving stage output precision.Therefore, the low-pressure end of this moment is output as low state, and just output signal PL equals voltage level VSS.
By the structure of above-mentioned gate driver circuit 20 and grid drive method thereof as can be known, content of the present invention is utilized high tension voltage position quasi converter 220, directly the accurate scope in voltage-operated position with the high-pressure side control signal of input (input logic circuit 210) is converted to VB to VSS by VCC to VSS, again according to the signal after the conversion of high tension voltage position quasi converter, control the output signal that high-pressure side driving stage 240 produces high-pressure side, and the accurate scope in voltage-operated position of this output signal is VB to VS; Utilize low voltage voltage position quasi converter 230 simultaneously, the accurate scope in voltage-operated position of the low-pressure end control signal of input (input logic circuit 210) is converted to VM to VSS by VCC to VSS, again according to the signal after the conversion of low voltage voltage position quasi converter, control the output signal that low-pressure end driving stage 250 produces low-pressure end, and the accurate scope in voltage-operated position of this output signal is VM to VSS.Thus, because unnecessary assembly is omitted fully, this gate driver circuit 20 can significantly reduce the use of circuit unit, thereby reduce expending of cost.
