Embodiment
To the defective of above-mentioned virtual source voltage or earth voltage generating circuit, as shown in Figure 3, the present invention provides a kind of virtual source earth voltage generating circuit, and it comprises height voltage generation circuit 1 and split circuit 2.Wherein, high low-voltage output HIGH voltage and low-voltage be to split circuit, and split circuit can be separated this high voltage and low-voltage and produce source voltage or ground voltage, perhaps produces source voltage and ground voltage.
As shown in Figure 4, the height voltage generation circuit 1 specifically be formed in parallel by the opposite inverter of bipolarity, can know that by the output characteristic of inverter circuit it can produce two voltage V1 and V2, one of them be high voltage another be low-voltage.But be high voltage or low-voltage owing to distinguishing what person of V1 and V2, thereby need a split circuit isolate high voltage or low-voltage.Concrete can be through producing low-voltage with V1 and V2 input AND circuit, and V1 and OR circuit of V2 input produce high voltage.As shown in Figure 4, OR circuit can utilize two PMOS pipe P11 and P12 to compose in parallel, and AND circuit can utilize two NMOS pipe N11 and N12 to compose in parallel.If V1 is a high voltage, V2 is a low-voltage, then P12 pipe conducting, output source voltage; If V1 is a low-voltage, V2 is a high voltage, then P11 pipe conducting, output source voltage.In like manner, if V1 is a high voltage, V2 is a low-voltage, then N11 pipe conducting, output ground voltage; If V1 is a low-voltage, V2 is a high voltage, then N12 pipe conducting, output ground voltage.Obviously, OR circuit also can be composed in parallel by the pipe of the PMOS more than 2, and AND circuit also can be made up of the pipe of the NMOS more than 2.Because the height voltage generation circuit is composed in parallel by two inverters, can know that by the characteristic of inverter height voltage generation circuit source voltage Vdd span is bigger, and can export the high voltage or the low-voltage of high stability.
Certainly, if the split circuit 2 of Fig. 4 has only OR circuit, promptly only be provided with two PMOS pipe, then exportable source voltage, virtual source earth voltage generating circuit shown in Figure 4 are the source voltage generation circuit; If the split circuit 2 of Fig. 4 has only AND circuit, promptly only be provided with two NMOS pipe, then import ground voltage, virtual source earth voltage generating circuit shown in Figure 4 is an earth voltage generating circuit; If the split circuit 2 of Fig. 4 has AND circuit and OR circuit, promptly be provided with two PMOS pipe and two NMOS pipe, then exportable source voltage and ground voltage, virtual source earth voltage generating circuit shown in Figure 4 are the seedbed voltage generation circuit.Because height voltage generation circuit 1 is made up of two inverters; There is not the restriction of feedback transistor conducting voltage; Thereby its source voltage Vdd can have bigger span; Reduce the harsh requirement of integrated circuit technology design, and the effect of all right output source voltage simultaneously of this virtual source earth voltage generating circuit and ground voltage, and the source voltage and the ground voltage of output are highly stable.
