In some embodiments, the switch control circuit 1 comprises a current comparator 11;
the current comparator 11 includes: a reference current module 111, a port current sampling module 112 and a control module 113;
the first end of the control module 113 is connected to the reference current module 111 and the controlled end of the bias current generating circuit 3, and the port current sampling module 112 is connected to the second end of the control module 113 and the signal detecting end of the port constant current operational amplifier loop 2;

The port current sampling module 112 may be a constant current source connected between a second terminal of the control module 113 and ground. Next, the port current sampling module 112 is connected to a signal detection end (i.e., a signal input end of the switch control circuit 1) of the port constant current operational amplifier loop 2, and is configured to detect the port constant current in the port constant current operational amplifier loop 2, so that a constant current value (i.e., a port sampling current) of the port constant current operational amplifier loop 2 is determined after sampling the port constant current. Therefore, the first terminal of the control module 113 is connected to the controlled terminal of the bias current generating circuit 2 (i.e., the control terminal of the switch control circuit 1), and the control module 113 is operable to compare the magnitudes of the reference current and the port sampling current, and output the impulse pulse Vpulse to the bias current generating circuit 3 according to the comparison result. The impulse pulse width can be adjusted by self-adapting port constant current.
It should be noted that, referring to fig. 2, for a structural schematic diagram of a port constant-current operational amplifier loop provided in the embodiment of the present application, the port constant-current operational amplifier loop 2 includes a port switch tube M0, a port constant-current source Is0, and a constant-current operational amplifier U0. The port switching tube M0 is preferably an nmos tube, the grid electrode of the port switching tube M0 is connected with the output end of the constant-current operational amplifier U0, and the inverting end of the constant-current operational amplifier U0 is connected with the source electrode of the port switching tube M0 to form a negative feedback loop, so that constant-current output is realized, and power consumption can be effectively reduced. The port constant current source Is0 Is used for generating a port constant current, the port constant current source Is0 Is connected between the source electrode of the port switch tube M0 and the ground, and the drain electrode of the port switch tube M0 Is connected with an external load OUT. The signal detection end in the port constant-current operational amplifier loop 2 Is connected with the port constant-current source Is0, so that the switch control circuit 1 detects the port constant-current generated by the port constant-current source Is0 in real time to generate the port sampling current. In addition, the non-inverting terminal (i.e. the input terminal of the port constant current operational amplifier loop) of the constant current operational amplifier U0 is connected to the output terminal of the bias current generating circuit 3, so as to obtain the constant current operational amplifier bias current from the bias current generating circuit 3.
Therefore, the impact pulse Vpulse is output by the switch control circuit 1 and used for controlling the generation of the impact current to form a constant-current operational amplifier bias current containing the impact current, so that the constant-current operational amplifier bias current containing extra large-current pulses is provided for the constant-current operational amplifier U0, and at the moment, the constant-current operational amplifier loop 2 is driven to quickly respond under the action of the gate voltage output to the port switch tube M0 by the constant-current operational amplifier U0 and the port constant-current of the source electrode of the port switch tube M0, so that the opening response speed of the port switch tube M0 is improved.
In a preferred embodiment, the port sampling current is 1/k of the port constant current, and k is a sampling ratio. More specifically, the present invention is to provide a novel,
Figure BDA0003242284370000091
iout is port constant current. Therefore, in the embodiment, the impulse pulse Vpulse is controlled by the port sampling current, the port sampling current is determined by the port constant current, and the port constant current is slightly influenced by the process and the temperature, so that the high-precision impulse pulse Vpulse can be generated, the high-precision impulse current which is slightly influenced by the process, the temperature and the application condition can be generated, the dynamic response of the port is slightly influenced by the process, the temperature and the application condition, and the consistency of low-gray display of the LED display screen can be improved. Meanwhile, the impulse pulse width can be adjusted in a self-adaptive mode along with the port constant current, and as the port constant current is larger, the acceleration requirement of the port switching tube M0 is larger, the impulse pulse width is shorter when the port constant current is smaller, and the impulse pulse width is longer when the port constant current is larger.
In some embodiments, the control module 113 includes:
the size of the port sampling switch tube M1 is 1/k of the size of the port switch tube M0 in the port constant-current operational amplifier loop 2, and k is a sampling proportion; the drain thereof is connected to the first end of the control module 113, the source thereof is connected to the second end of the control module 113, and the gate V0 thereof is connected to the control end of the port switch M0.
In this embodiment, please refer to fig. 1, the port sampling switch tube M1 is preferably an nmos tube, a drain of the port sampling switch tube M1 is connected to a first end of the control module 113 (i.e., an output end a of the current comparator 11 in fig. 1), the port current sampling module 112 is connected between a source of the port sampling switch tube M1 and the ground, a gate V0 of the port sampling switch tube M1 is connected to a gate of the port switch tube M0 in the port constant current operational amplifier loop 2 (i.e., an output end of the constant current operational amplifier), so that the gate voltage of the port sampling switch tube M1 is the gate voltage of the port switch tube M0, and the port sampling switch tube M1 is controlled by the gate voltage of the port switch tube M0.
In some embodiments, the control module 113 is operative to:
when the port sampling current is smaller than the reference current, outputting a first impact pulse to control the switch element K to be closed;
and when the port sampling current is greater than or equal to the reference current, outputting a second impact pulse to control the switch element K to be opened.
In the present embodiment, the port sampling current Iout _ sampling and the reference current Ibref simultaneously and linearly vary with the current gain ratio, so the pulse width of the impact pulse always linearly varies with the current gain under the control of different currents, i.e. the impact pulse Vpulse always flips when the port constant current Iout = k × Ibref. Specifically, the control module 113 compares the port sampling current Iout _ sampling with the reference current Ibref. More specifically, when a port constant current source Is0 in the port constant current operational amplifier loop 2 Is turned on, a port constant current Is generated, at this time, an output end a point of the current comparator 11 Is initially set low, when a port sampling current Iout _ sampling Is smaller than a reference current Ibref, an impulse pulse Vpulse starts to rise, the impulse pulse Is turned on, that Is, a first impulse pulse Is output at the point a to control the switching element K to be closed, so that an impulse current Is generated, a constant current operational amplifier bias current Is formed, a constant current operational amplifier bias current containing extra large current pulses Is provided to the constant current operational amplifier U0, and the turn-on response speed of the port switching tube M0 Is improved. Further, as the port constant current gradually increases, when the port sampling current Iout _ sampling is equal to the reference current Ibref, and Iout = k Ibref, the level of the impact pulse Vpulse is inverted. Furthermore, when the port sampling current Iout _ sampling is greater than the reference current Ibref, the impact pulse is turned off, i.e., a second impact pulse is output at point a to control the switching element K to be turned on.
In some embodiments, the switch control circuit 1 further includes:
and a buffer 12 connected between the output terminal of the current comparator 11 and the controlled terminal of the bias current generating circuit 3.
In this embodiment, please refer to fig. 1, an input end of the buffer 12 is connected to the output end a of the current comparator 11, and an output end of the buffer 12 is connected to the output end of the switch control circuit 1, so that the buffer 12 collects the impulse pulse signal in real time and temporarily stores the impulse pulse signal to be sent to the bias current generating circuit 3, thereby performing coordination and buffering functions on the switch control circuit 1 and the bias current generating circuit 3, and realizing synchronization of data transmission.
In some embodiments, the current comparator 11 further includes:
and a controllable switch 114 connected between the reference current module 111 and the first end of the control module 113, and configured to be opened or closed under the control of a current detection signal of the port constant current.
In this embodiment, the controllable switch 114 Is connected to a signal input end of the switch control circuit 1, and when the port constant current source Is0 in the port constant current operational amplifier loop 2 Is turned on, a port constant current Is generated, and when the controllable switch 114 detects the port constant current, a corresponding first current detection signal Is generated to control the controllable switch 114 to be closed, and the current comparator 11 Is turned on. Secondly, if the port constant current source Is0 in the port constant current operational amplifier loop 2 Is not started and the controllable switch 114 does not detect the port constant current, a corresponding second current detection signal Is generated to control the controllable switch 114 to be turned on, and at this time, the voltage at the point a Is set to be low in the initial state.
Referring to fig. 3, for a schematic structural diagram of a bias current generating circuit provided in the embodiment of the present application, a controlled end of the bias current generating circuit 3 is connected to a control end of the switch control circuit 1 according to the above embodiment, and an output end V1 of the bias current generating circuit 3 is connected to an input end of the port constant-current operational amplifier loop 2;
the bias current generating circuit 3 includes:
the impulse current source Is1 Is used for generating impulse current Ipulse;
and the switching element K Is connected between the inrush current source Is1 and the ground and Is used for being opened or closed under the control of an inrush pulse Vpulse output by the switching control circuit 1 so as to provide a constant-current operational amplifier bias current containing the inrush current Ipulse to the port constant-current operational amplifier loop 2.
At present, an impulse current is generally used by an LED display screen driving circuit to improve a port response speed, and an element of a conventional impulse current generating circuit is greatly influenced by a process, a temperature and an application condition, so that the generated impulse current is greatly influenced by the process, the temperature and the application condition, and therefore, a port dynamic response generated by the impulse current is greatly influenced by the process, the temperature, a power supply voltage and other application conditions. In the present application, referring to fig. 3, the impact current source Is1 may be a constant current source for generating an impact current Ipulse, and the bias current generating circuit 3 Is formed by serially connecting the impact current source Is1 and the switching element K to form a branch for generating the impact current Ipulse. Specifically, the switching element K is connected to the switching control circuit 1, so as to respond to the impulse Vpulse outputted by the switching control circuit 1 to control the switching of the switching element K. Therefore, the on or off of the branch circuit is controlled by the impulse pulse Vpulse, and further, only the port constant current of the port constant current operational amplifier loop 2 is depended on, so that the constant current operational amplifier bias current generated by the bias current generating circuit 3 can include high-precision impulse current which is slightly influenced by process, temperature and application conditions.
In some embodiments, the bias current generating circuit 3 further includes:
