Under first mode, switch SW 3 receives first mode signal MD 11, and its first end of conducting according to this and the second end.In addition, operational amplifier 310 and the formed feedback mechanism of N-type transistor MN3 can cause the voltage of the source electrode of N-type transistor MN3 to be pulled up to reference voltage VR1.By this, the position is in switch SW 3 pressure drops that the reference voltage VR1 of the source electrode of N-type transistor MN3 can see through conducting externally on equivalent resistance Rt22, and then forms reference current IR.At this moment, the drain electrode of P transistor npn npn MP32 can receive reference current IR, and P transistor npn npn MP31 and MP32 will form a current mirroring circuit, and then map out reference current IR from the drain electrode of P transistor npn npn MP31.
Under the second pattern, switch SW 3 receives the second mode signal MD12, and its first end of not conducting according to this and the second end.At this moment, MP31 can't receive reference current IR due to the P transistor npn npn, and the current mirroring circuit that therefore is made of P transistor npn npn MP31 and MP32 can't map out reference current IR.
Fig. 4 illustrates the circuit diagram into the electric current register of foundation one embodiment of the invention.Please in the lump with reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. 4, electric current register 220 comprises cell current generation unit 410, switch unit 420, switch SW 4, current comparator 430 and current switching unit 440.Switch SW 4 has first end TM41, the second end TM42 and the 3rd end TM43.The first end TM41 of switch SW 4 receives bias current IB, the second end TM42 company property connection differential buffer device 230 of switch SW 4.The first input end of current comparator 430 receives reference current IR, and the second input end of current comparator 430 is electrically connected the 3rd end TM43 of switch SW 4.Current switching control module 440 is electrically connected output terminal and the switch unit 420 of current comparator 430.In addition, switch unit 420 is electrically connected current generating unit 410, and receiving element electric current I 41~I413.
Cell current generation unit 410 comprises a plurality of N-type transistor MN41~MN44, operational amplifier 411 and variable resistor RC.The drain electrode of N-type transistor MN41~MN44 receives supply voltage Vs, and the source electrode of N-type transistor MN42~MN44 is electrically connected switch unit 420.Operational amplifier 411 has positive input terminal, negative input end and output terminal.The positive input terminal of operational amplifier 411 receives reference voltage VR2, and the negative input end of operational amplifier 411 is electrically connected to the source electrode of N-type transistor MN41, and the output terminal of operational amplifier 411 is electrically connected the grid of N-type transistor MN41~MN44.
The first end of variable resistor RC is electrically connected the source electrode of N-type transistor MN41, and the second termination of variable resistor RC is received ground voltage GND.Wherein, operational amplifier 411 and the formed feedback mechanism of N-type transistor MN41 can cause reference voltage VR2 pressure drop on variable resistor RC, and then form single unitary current.In addition, cell current generation unit 410 more sees through N-type transistor MN42~MN44 and copies a plurality of cell current I41~I43.Switch unit 420 comprises a plurality of switch SW 41~SW43.Wherein, first end receiving element electric current I 41~I43 of switch SW 41~SW43, the second end of switch SW 41~SW43 is electrical connected to produce bias current IB each other.In addition, switch SW 41~SW43 is controlled by respectively current switching unit 440, determines the conducting state of its first end and the second end with foundation current information IM.
Under first mode, current switching control module 440 will receive first mode signal MD11.At the beginning, current switching control module 440 can first transmit in advance set current information IM to switch unit 420 according to first mode signal MD11, first exports initial bias current IB to cause switch unit 420.On the other hand, current switching control module 440 will be according to first mode signal MD11 first end TM41 and the 3rd end TM43 of actuating switch SW4, and then cause bias current IB to be sent to current comparator 430.At this moment, current comparator 430 will compare reference current IR with from the bias current IB of switch SW 4.
If reference current IR and bias current IB are unequal, current comparator 430 will produce the first control signal CTR1, for example: the low level signal.At this moment, current switching control module 440 can be adjusted according to the first control signal CTR1 the numerical value of current information IM, and then causes switch unit 420 to improve the conducting number of its internal switch SW41~SW43, that is increases the current value of bias current IB.In other words, all a value is less than reference current IR if feed back to the bias current IB of current comparator 430, and current comparator 430 will be exported the first control signal CTR1 constantly.By this, current switching control module 440 will constantly increase the numerical value of current information IM, and switch unit 420 can constantly improve the current value of bias current IB.In addition, when bias current IB is promoted to when equating with bias current IB gradually, current comparator 430 will produce the second control signal CTR2, for example: the high levle signal.At this moment, current switching control module 440 will stop adjusting the numerical value of current information IM, and record current information IM at this moment.
For instance, at the beginning, current switching control module 440 can provide in advance set current information IM, and for example, the numerical value of current information IM is 1.Accordingly, the conducting number of the switch SW 41~SW43 of switch unit 420 inside will be 1, and for example: switch SW 41 is conducting, and remaining switch SW 42~SW43 is not conducting.Thus, switch unit 420 can form by single unitary current I41 and be collected the bias current IB that forms.In addition, bias current IB reaches current comparator 430 and compares with reference current IR.If bias current IB is less than reference current IR, current comparator 430 will be exported the first control signal CTR1 to current switching control module 440.At this moment, current switching control module 440 will be according to the numerical value of the cumulative current information IM of the first control signal CTR1, and switch unit 420 will increase the conducting number of its internal switch SW41~SW43 accordingly, to continue to increase the current value of bias current IB.When electric current comparing unit 430 output the second control signal CTR2, represent that reference current IR is equal to bias current IB, so current switching control module 440 will stop the numerical value of cumulative current information IM, and current information IM will be recorded.
As mentioned above, under first mode, current switching control module 440 is the switch SW 41~SW43 in conducting switch unit 420 sequentially, with the tired bias current IB that increases gradually.When bias current IB is accumulate to when equating with reference current IR, current comparator 430 will be exported the second control signal CTR2, with notice current switching control module 440 record current information IM, and make switch unit 420 stop switching the not yet switch of conducting of its inside.In other words, when current comparator 430 detects bias current IB when identical with reference current IR, expression electric current register 220 has been completed the stage of copying reference current IR, and with the conducting number record of switch SW 41~SW43 in current information IM.
On the other hand, under the second pattern, current switching control module 440 will receive the second mode signal MD12.At this moment, current switching control module 440 can be exported the current information IM that records according to the second mode signal MD12 under first mode, produces to cause switch unit 420 the bias current IB that equates with reference current IR.In addition, current switching control module 440 will be according to the second mode signal MD12 first end TM41 and the second end TM42 of actuating switch SW4, and then cause bias current IB to be sent to differential buffer device 230.
