For the memory cell array 11, a plurality of word lines WL and WL which are mutually crossed are provided. The bit line BL of the number is arranged with the memory cell MC at the intersections. The selection of the word line WL is performed via the row decoder 12, and the selection of the bit line BL is performed via the column decoder 13. The bit lines BL are each connected to a corresponding sense amplifier SA in the sensing circuit 14, and the bit line BL selected by the column decoder 13 is connected to the amplifying circuit 15 by a sense amplifier SA.

行解碼器12,列解碼器13,感測電路14及放大電路15之動作係經由存取控制電路20而加以控制。對於存取控制電路20係藉由外部端子21~24而加以供給有位址信號ADD,指令信號CMD,外部時脈信號CK,CKB等。外部時脈信號CK,CKB係相互相補的信號。存取控制電路20係依據此等之信號而控制行解碼器12,列解碼器13,感測電路14,放大電路15及資料輸出入電路30。 The operations of the row decoder 12, the column decoder 13, the sensing circuit 14, and the amplifying circuit 15 are controlled via the access control circuit 20. The access control circuit 20 is supplied with an address signal ADD, a command signal CMD, an external clock signal CK, CKB, and the like via the external terminals 21 to 24. The external clock signals CK and CKB are mutually complementary signals.

In response to this, the row decoder 12 selects the word line WL displayed by the address signal ADD, whereby the corresponding memory cells MC are connected to the bit line BL. Thereafter, the access control circuit 20 activates the sensing circuit 14 at a specific time.

另一方面,顯示指令信號CMD為讀取指令或寫入指令之情況,位址信號ADD係加以供給至列解碼器13。回應於此,列解碼器13係將位址信號ADD所顯示之位元線BL,連接於放大電路15。經由此,在讀取動作 時,藉由感測放大器SA而從記憶體單元陣列11所讀出之讀取資料DQ,則藉由放大電路15及資料輸出入電路30而從資料端子31加以輸出至外部。另外,在寫入動作時,藉由資料端子31及資料輸出入電路30而從外部所供給之寫入資料DQ,則藉由放大電路15及感測放大器SA而加以寫入至記憶體單元MC。 On the other hand, when the display command signal CMD is a read command or a write command, the address signal ADD is supplied to the column decoder 13. In response to this, the column decoder 13 connects the bit line BL displayed by the address signal ADD to the amplifying circuit 15. Through this, in the reading action At this time, the read data DQ read from the memory cell array 11 by the sense amplifier SA is output from the data terminal 31 to the outside through the amplifier circuit 15 and the data input/output circuit 30. Further, at the time of the write operation, the write data DQ supplied from the outside by the data terminal 31 and the data input/output circuit 30 is written to the memory cell MC by the amplifier circuit 15 and the sense amplifier SA. .

如圖1所示,對於存取控制電路20係包含有DLL電路100。DLL電路100係接受外部時脈信號CK,CKB,依據此等而生成加以相位控制之內部時脈信號LCLK之電路。對於DLL電路100係包含有使內部時脈信號LCLK延遲之延遲線(DL)110,和將內部時脈信號LCLK之能率比調整為50%之能率調整電路(DCC)150。對於DLL電路100之詳細係加以後述之。內部時脈信號LCLK係加以供給至含於資料輸出入電路30之輸出電路30a。經由此,讀取資料DQ及資料選通信號DQS係同步於內部時脈信號LCLK而從資料端子31及資料選通端子32各加以輸出。 As shown in FIG. 1, the DLL circuit 100 is included in the access control circuit 20. The DLL circuit 100 receives the external clock signals CK, CKB, and generates a phase-controlled internal clock signal LCLK based on these. The DLL circuit 100 includes a delay line (DL) 110 that delays the internal clock signal LCLK, and an energy adjustment circuit (DCC) 150 that adjusts the energy ratio of the internal clock signal LCLK to 50%. The details of the DLL circuit 100 will be described later. The internal clock signal LCLK is supplied to the output circuit 30a included in the data input/output circuit 30. Thereby, the read data DQ and the data strobe signal DQS are output from the data terminal 31 and the data strobe terminal 32 in synchronization with the internal clock signal LCLK.

此等各電路部件係各將特定之內部電壓,作為動作電源而使用。此等內部電源係經由圖1所示之電源電路40所生成。電源電路40係接受藉由電源端子41,42而各加以供給之外部電位VDD及接地電位VSS,依據此等而生成內部電壓VPP,VPERI,VARY等。內部電位VPP係經由將外部電位VDD升壓而加以生成,內部電位VPERI,VARY係經由將外部電位VDD降壓而加以生 成。 Each of these circuit components uses a specific internal voltage as an operating power source. These internal power sources are generated via the power supply circuit 40 shown in FIG. The power supply circuit 40 receives the external potential VDD and the ground potential VSS supplied from the power supply terminals 41 and 42, and generates internal voltages VPP, VPERI, VARY, and the like. The internal potential VPP is generated by boosting the external potential VDD, and the internal potentials VPERI, VARY are generated by stepping down the external potential VDD. to make.

內部電壓VPP係主要在行解碼器12中所使用的電壓。行解碼器12係將依據位址信號ADD而選擇之字元線WL,驅動為VPP位準,經由此而使含於記憶體單元MC之單元電晶體導通。內部電壓VARY係主要在感測電路14中所使用的電壓。當感測電路14活性化時,經由將位元線對之一方驅動為VARY位準,而將另一方驅動為VSS位準之時,進行所讀出之讀取資料的放大。內部電壓VPERI係作為存取控制電路20等之大部分的周邊電路之動作電壓而加以使用。作為此等周邊電路之動作電壓,經由使用較外部電壓VDD,電壓低之內部電壓VPERI之時,謀求半導體裝置10之低消耗電力化圖2係顯示DLL電路100之構成的方塊圖。 The internal voltage VPP is a voltage mainly used in the row decoder 12. The row decoder 12 drives the word line WL selected in accordance with the address signal ADD to the VPP level, thereby turning on the cell transistor included in the memory cell MC. The internal voltage VARY is the voltage mainly used in the sensing circuit 14. When the sensing circuit 14 is activated, the read data is amplified by driving one of the bit line pairs to the VARY level and the other to the VSS level. The internal voltage VPERI is used as an operating voltage of a peripheral circuit that is mostly accessed by the control circuit 20 or the like. As the operating voltage of the peripheral circuits, when the internal voltage VPERI having a lower voltage than the external voltage VDD is used, the semiconductor device 10 is reduced in power consumption. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the DLL circuit 100.

圖2所示之DLL電路100係具備:經由使內部時脈信號PCLK1延遲之時,生成內部時脈信號LCLK的延遲線110。內部時脈信號PCLK1係從接受外部時脈信號CK,CKB之時脈接收器25所輸出之內部時脈信號PCLK0則通過能率調整電路150之信號。延遲線110係具有:加以串聯連接延遲量的調整間距為粗之粗調延遲線(CDL)111與延遲量的調整間距為細之細調延遲線(FDL)112之構成。從延遲線110所輸出之內部時脈信號LCLK係藉由緩衝器113及時脈樹114而加以供給至輸出電路30a,而如上述,作為規定讀取資料DQ或資料選通信號DQS之輸出時間的時間信號所使用。 The DLL circuit 100 shown in FIG. 2 includes a delay line 110 that generates an internal clock signal LCLK when the internal clock signal PCLK1 is delayed. The internal clock signal PCLK1 passes through the signal of the energy rate adjustment circuit 150 from the internal clock signal PCLK0 output from the clock receiver 25 that receives the external clock signal CK, CKB. The delay line 110 has a configuration in which the adjustment pitch of the serial connection delay amount is a coarse adjustment delay line (CDL) 111 and a fine adjustment delay line (FDL) 112 in which the adjustment pitch of the delay amount is fine. The internal clock signal LCLK outputted from the delay line 110 is supplied to the output circuit 30a by the buffer 113 and the pulse tree 114, and as described above, as the output time of the predetermined read data DQ or the data strobe signal DQS. The time signal is used.

內部時脈信號LCLK係亦加以供給至複製電路120。複製電路120係具有實質上與緩衝器113,時脈樹114及輸出電路30a所成之電路群相同之延遲時間的電路,接受內部時脈信號LCLK而輸出複製時脈信號RCLK。在此,輸出電路30a係從同步於內部時脈信號LCLK而輸出讀取資料DQ或資料選通信號DQS之構成者,從複製電路120所輸出之複製時脈信號RCLK係與讀取資料DQ或資料選通信號DQS正確地進行同步。在DRAM中,讀取資料DQ或資料選通信號DQS則對於外部時脈信號CK,CKB而言有必要正確地進行同步,對於兩者之相位產生有偏移之情況,係有必要檢測此等而進行補正。有關之檢測係經由相位判定電路130所進行,其判定結果係作為相位判定信號PD所輸出。 The internal clock signal LCLK is also supplied to the replica circuit 120. The replica circuit 120 has a circuit having substantially the same delay time as the circuit group formed by the buffer 113, the clock tree 114, and the output circuit 30a, and receives the internal clock signal LCLK to output the replica clock signal RCLK. Here, the output circuit 30a is configured to output the read data DQ or the data strobe signal DQS in synchronization with the internal clock signal LCLK, and the copy clock signal RCLK output from the replica circuit 120 and the read data DQ or The data strobe signal DQS is correctly synchronized. In the DRAM, the read data DQ or the data strobe signal DQS is necessary for the external clock signals CK, CKB to be correctly synchronized, and it is necessary to detect the offset between the two phases. And make corrections. The detection is performed by the phase determination circuit 130, and the determination result is output as the phase determination signal PD.

相位判定信號PD係加以供給至延遲線控制電路140。延遲線控制電路140係依據相位判定信號PD而控制延遲線110之延遲量的電路。具體而言,相位判定信號PD則顯示複製時脈信號RCLK之相位則較內部時脈信號PCLK0為慢之情況,延遲線控制電路140係使延遲線110之延遲量減少。相反地,相位判定信號PD則顯示複製時脈信號RCLK之相位則較內部時脈信號PCLK0為進行之情況,延遲線控制電路140係使延遲線110之延遲量增大。經由如此的動作,複製時脈信號RCLK之相位則呈與內部時脈信號PCLK0一致地,加以調整延遲線110之延遲量。複製時脈信號RCLK之相位則與內部時脈信號 PCLK0一致之情況,讀取資料DQ或資料選通信號DQS則對於外部時脈信號CK,CKB而言得到正確地進行同步的狀態。 The phase determination signal PD is supplied to the delay line control circuit 140. The delay line control circuit 140 is a circuit that controls the delay amount of the delay line 110 in accordance with the phase determination signal PD. Specifically, the phase determination signal PD indicates that the phase of the replica clock signal RCLK is slower than the internal clock signal PCLK0, and the delay line control circuit 140 reduces the delay amount of the delay line 110. Conversely, the phase determination signal PD indicates that the phase of the replica clock signal RCLK is higher than the internal clock signal PCLK0, and the delay line control circuit 140 increases the delay amount of the delay line 110. Through such an operation, the phase of the replica clock signal RCLK is adjusted in accordance with the internal clock signal PCLK0, and the delay amount of the delay line 110 is adjusted. Copy the phase of the clock signal RCLK with the internal clock signal When PCLK0 coincides, the read data DQ or the data strobe signal DQS is correctly synchronized with respect to the external clock signals CK, CKB.

如圖2所示,對於DLL電路100係包含調整能率比之能率調整電路150。雖無特別加以限定,但在本實施形態中,於延遲線110之前段,插入有能率調整電路150,經由調整從時脈接收器25所輸出之內部時脈信號PCLK0的能率比之時,生成內部時脈信號PCLK1。在本發明中,能率調整電路150之插入處係並不限定於此,而只要插入至內部時脈信號之傳送通道,而均可為任意場所,例如,插入至延遲線110之後段亦可。 As shown in FIG. 2, the DLL circuit 100 includes an energy rate adjustment circuit 150 that adjusts the energy ratio. Although not particularly limited, in the present embodiment, the energy ratio adjusting circuit 150 is inserted before the delay line 110, and the energy rate ratio of the internal clock signal PCLK0 output from the clock receiver 25 is adjusted to generate an energy ratio ratio. Internal clock signal PCLK1. In the present invention, the insertion position of the energy rate adjustment circuit 150 is not limited thereto, and may be any place as long as it is inserted into the transmission channel of the internal clock signal, for example, it may be inserted after the delay line 110.

內部時脈信號LCLK之能率比係經由能率檢測電路(DCD)160而加以檢測。經由能率檢測電路160之內部時脈信號LCLK的檢測位置係較輸出電路30a為近者為佳,而在本實施形態中,檢測通過時脈樹114之內部時脈信號LCLK的能率比。但本發明並非限定於此等者,而如在圖2中以虛線所示地,檢測通過時脈樹114之前的內部時脈信號LCLK的能率比亦可。 The energy ratio of the internal clock signal LCLK is detected via the energy detection circuit (DCD) 160. The detection position of the internal clock signal LCLK via the energy rate detecting circuit 160 is preferably closer than the output circuit 30a. In the present embodiment, the energy ratio of the internal clock signal LCLK passing through the clock tree 114 is detected. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown by a broken line in FIG. 2, the energy ratio of the internal clock signal LCLK before passing through the clock tree 114 may be detected.

經由能率檢測電路160所檢測之能率檢測信號D1係加以供給至DCC控制電路170。如後述,能率檢測信號D1係由複數位元所成之二元化信號。DCC控制電路170係接受能率檢測信號D1,依據此而生成能率控制信號D2,將此供給至能率調整電路150。能率調整電路150係依據能率控制信號D2而使內部時脈信號PCLK0的 能率比變化,將此,作為內部時脈信號PCLK1而輸出。 The energy rate detection signal D1 detected by the energy rate detecting circuit 160 is supplied to the DCC control circuit 170. As will be described later, the energy rate detection signal D1 is a binary signal formed by a plurality of bits. The DCC control circuit 170 receives the energy rate detection signal D1, generates an energy rate control signal D2 based thereon, and supplies it to the energy rate adjustment circuit 150. The energy rate adjustment circuit 150 causes the internal clock signal PCLK0 according to the energy rate control signal D2. The energy ratio change is outputted as the internal clock signal PCLK1.

圖3係顯示能率調整電路150之構成的方塊圖。 FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the energy rate adjustment circuit 150.

如圖3所示,能率調整電路150係經由4個能率調整部151~154及合成電路155所加以構成。能率調整部151,152係被加以串聯連接,構成傳送通道A。能率調整部153,154亦被加以串聯連接,構成傳送通道B。傳送通道A與傳送通道B係為並聯。並且,從傳送通道A所輸出之內部時脈信號PCLKA1,和從傳送通道B所輸出之內部時脈信號PCLKB1則加以輸入至合成電路155,作為內部時脈信號PCLK1而加以輸出。 As shown in FIG. 3, the energy rate adjustment circuit 150 is configured by four energy rate adjustment units 151 to 154 and a combination circuit 155. The energy rate adjustment units 151 and 152 are connected in series to constitute the transmission channel A. The energy rate adjustment units 153, 154 are also connected in series to constitute the transfer channel B. The transfer channel A and the transfer channel B are connected in parallel. Further, the internal clock signal PCLKA1 outputted from the transmission channel A and the internal clock signal PCLKB1 outputted from the transmission channel B are input to the synthesizing circuit 155, and output as the internal clock signal PCLK1.

能率調整部151~154係相互具有相同的電路構成,達成使各內部時脈信號之上升邊緣及下拉邊緣之一方的轉換率變化的作用。對於經由能率調整部151~154之轉換率的調整,係使用相互不同之控制信號。具體而言,對於能率調整部151係使用控制信號P1,N1,而對於能率調整部152係使用控制信號P2,N2,對於能率調整部153係使用控制信號P3,N3,對於能率調整部154係使用控制信號P4,N4。此等控制信號P1~P4,N1~N4係構成上述之能率控制信號D2之信號的一部分。 The energy ratio adjusting sections 151 to 154 have the same circuit configuration, and achieve a function of changing the conversion ratio of one of the rising edge and the falling edge of each internal clock signal. The control signals that are different from each other are used to adjust the conversion rates of the energy rate adjusting units 151 to 154. Specifically, the energy ratio adjusting unit 151 uses the control signals P1 and N1, and the energy rate adjusting unit 152 uses the control signals P2 and N2, and the energy rate adjusting unit 153 uses the control signals P3 and N3 for the energy rate adjusting unit 154. Control signals P4, N4 are used. These control signals P1 to P4, N1 to N4 form part of the signal of the above-described energy rate control signal D2.

圖4係能率調整部151之電路圖。 FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram of the energy rate adjustment unit 151.

如圖4所示,能率調整部151係具備:加以並聯連接之6個時脈反相器CV1,CV2,CV4,CV8,CV2F,CV4F,接受內部時脈信號PCLK0而生成內部時脈 信號PCLKA0。此等時脈反相器係相互具有相同的電路構成之故,在此係作為代表,對於時脈反相器CV1之構成加以說明。時脈反相器CV1係經由對於供給有內部電位VPERI之電源配線VL與供給有接地電位VSS之電源配線SL之間,依此順序加以串聯連接之P通道型MOS電晶體MP11,MP12,和N通道型MOS電晶體MN12,MN11而加以構成。 As shown in FIG. 4, the energy ratio adjustment unit 151 includes six clocked inverters CV1, CV2, CV4, CV8, CV2F, and CV4F connected in parallel, and receives an internal clock signal PCLK0 to generate an internal clock. Signal PCLKA0. These clocked inverters have the same circuit configuration, and the configuration of the clocked inverter CV1 will be described as a representative here. The clocked inverter CV1 is connected to the power supply line VL to which the internal potential VPERI is supplied and the power supply line SL to which the ground potential VSS is supplied, and is connected in series in this order to the P-channel type MOS transistors MP11, MP12, and N. Channel type MOS transistors MN12, MN11 are constructed.

電晶體MP12,MN12之閘極電極係加以共通連接,構成供給有內部時脈信號PCLK0之輸入節點n1。另外,電晶體MP12,MN12之汲極係加以共通連接,構成輸出有內部時脈信號PCLK1之輸出節點n2。 The gate electrodes of the transistors MP12 and MN12 are connected in common to form an input node n1 to which the internal clock signal PCLK0 is supplied. Further, the drains of the transistors MP12 and MN12 are connected in common to form an output node n2 to which the internal clock signal PCLK1 is output.

另一方面,對於電晶體MP11之閘極電極係加以供給有控制信號P1之一部分的控制信號P11。經由此,控制信號P11則活性化為低位準之情況,時脈反相器CV1係成為可依據輸入節點n1之位準而拉升輸出節點n2。相反地,控制信號P11則非活性化為高位準之情況,時脈反相器CV1係成為無法拉升輸出節點n2之狀態。如此,加以串聯連接之電晶體MP11,MP12係構成經由控制信號P11而選擇性地加以活性化之上升電路UP。 On the other hand, a control signal P11 to which a part of the control signal P1 is supplied is supplied to the gate electrode system of the transistor MP11. As a result, the control signal P11 is activated to a low level, and the clocked inverter CV1 is capable of pulling up the output node n2 according to the level of the input node n1. Conversely, when the control signal P11 is inactivated to a high level, the clocked inverter CV1 is in a state in which the output node n2 cannot be pulled up. In this manner, the transistors MP11 and MP12 connected in series constitute a riser circuit UP that is selectively activated by the control signal P11.

同樣地,對於電晶體MN11之閘極電極係加以供給有控制信號N1之一部分的控制信號N11。經由此,控制信號N11則活性化為高位準之情況,時脈反相器CV1係成為可依據輸入節點n1之位準而下拉輸出節點n2。相反地,控制信號N11則非活性化為低位準之情況, 時脈反相器CV1係成為無法下拉輸出節點n2之狀態。如此,加以串聯連接之電晶體MN11,MN12係構成經由控制信號N11而選擇性地加以活性化之下拉電路DN。 Similarly, a control signal N11 to which a portion of the control signal N1 is supplied is applied to the gate electrode system of the transistor MN11. As a result, the control signal N11 is activated to a high level, and the clocked inverter CV1 is capable of pulling down the output node n2 according to the level of the input node n1. Conversely, the control signal N11 is inactivated to a low level. The clock inverter CV1 is in a state in which the output node n2 cannot be pulled down. In this manner, the transistors MN11 and MN12 connected in series are configured to selectively activate the pull-down circuit DN via the control signal N11.

如此,時脈反相器CV1係可相互獨立控制上升電路UP與下拉電路DN者。此點,與一般的時脈反相器不同。 In this way, the clocked inverter CV1 can independently control the rising circuit UP and the pull-down circuit DN. This point is different from a general clock inverter.

對於其他的時脈反相器CV2,CV4,CV8,CV2F,CV4F,亦除了各輸入有對應之控制信號之外,係具有與上述時脈反相器CV1相同之電路構成。 The other clocked inverters CV2, CV4, CV8, CV2F, and CV4F have the same circuit configuration as the above-described clocked inverter CV1 except that there is a corresponding control signal for each input.

在此,時脈反相器CV1,CV2,CV4,CV8之驅動能力係加以作為2的累乘之加權。具體而言,當時脈反相器CV1之驅動能力作為1DC時,時脈反相器CV2,CV4,CV8之驅動能力係各為2DC,4DC,8DC。隨之,可依據構成控制信號P1之控制信號P11,P12,P14,P18而將拉升能力控制成16階段(0DC~15DC)者,更且,可依據構成控制信號N1之控制信號N11,N12,N14,N18而將下拉能力控制成16階段(0DC~15DC)者。此等控制信號P1,N1係依據能率檢測電路160之輸出的能率檢測信號D1,經由DCC控制電路170所加以生成。 Here, the driving ability of the clocked inverters CV1, CV2, CV4, and CV8 is weighted as a multiplication of 2. Specifically, when the driving capability of the clocked inverter CV1 is 1 DC, the driving capacities of the clocked inverters CV2, CV4, and CV8 are 2 DC, 4 DC, and 8 DC, respectively. Accordingly, the pull-up capability can be controlled to 16 stages (0DC~15DC) according to the control signals P11, P12, P14, P18 constituting the control signal P1, and moreover, according to the control signals N11, N12 constituting the control signal N1. , N14, N18 and the pull-down capability is controlled to 16 stages (0DC~15DC). These control signals P1, N1 are generated by the DCC control circuit 170 in accordance with the energy rate detection signal D1 output from the energy rate detecting circuit 160.

然而,經由處理上的限制,對於做成驅動能力不足2DC之電晶體則為困難的情況,係如圖5所示,如經由各加以串聯連接之2個電晶體而構成電晶體MP11,MN11即可。在圖5所示的例中,構成電晶體MP11之2個P通道型MOS電晶體MP11a,MP11b之驅 動能力則均為2DC,從加以串聯連接此等之情況,可得到1DC之驅動能力者。同樣地,構成電晶體MN11之2個N通道型MOS電晶體MN11a,MN11b之驅動能力則均為2DC,從加以串聯連接此等之情況,可得到1DC之驅動能力者。 However, it is difficult to make a transistor having a driving ability of less than 2 DC, as shown in FIG. 5, and the transistor MP11 is formed by two transistors connected in series, and MN11 is formed. can. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the two P-channel MOS transistors MP11a and MP11b constituting the transistor MP11 are driven. The dynamic capability is 2DC, and the driving ability of 1DC can be obtained from the case where these are connected in series. Similarly, the driving ability of the two N-channel MOS transistors MN11a and MN11b constituting the transistor MN11 is 2 DC, and the driving ability of 1 DC can be obtained by connecting them in series.

另一方面,時脈反相器CV2F,CV4F係為了賦予固定之驅動能力至能率調整部151之電路,各具有2DC,4DC之驅動能力。是否使時脈反相器CV2F,CV4F活性化係可經由引信信號FP,FN而選擇者。例如,對於僅使時脈反相器CV2F活性化之情況,如使引信信號FP12,FN12活性化即可。另外,對於僅使時脈反相器CV4F活性化之情況,如使引信信號FP14,FN14活性化即可。 On the other hand, the clocked inverters CV2F and CV4F each have a driving capability of 2 DC and 4 DC in order to provide a fixed driving capability to the circuit of the energy ratio adjusting unit 151. Whether or not the clocked inverter CV2F, CV4F activation system can be selected via the fuze signals FP, FN. For example, in the case where only the clocked inverter CV2F is activated, the fuse signals FP12 and FN12 may be activated. Further, in the case where only the clocked inverter CV4F is activated, the fuse signals FP14 and FN14 may be activated.

對於時脈反相器CV2F,CV4F係不需獨力地控制上升電路UP與下拉電路DN,而與一般的時脈反相器同樣,共通地控制亦可。此情況,對於加以活性化之時脈反相器CV2F,CV4F,係對於拉升與下拉均為可能,而對於加以非活性化之時脈反相器CV2F,CV4F係輸出則成為高阻抗狀態。 For the clocked inverter CV2F, the CV4F does not need to control the rising circuit UP and the pull-down circuit DN independently, but can be commonly controlled in the same manner as a general clocked inverter. In this case, it is possible for the clocked inverters CV2F and CV4F to be activated to pull up and pull down, and for the inactivated clocked inverter CV2F, the CV4F output is in a high impedance state.

圖6係顯示為了生成引信信號FP,FN的電路之方塊圖。 Figure 6 is a block diagram showing the circuit of FN for generating the fuze signal FP.

如圖6所示,引信信號FP,FN係加以記憶於引信電路181。引信電路181係包含光學引信元件或電性引信元件(一次性寫入元件)等之非揮發性記憶電路,在 製造階段中,進行引信信號FP,FN之程式。從引信電路181所輸出之引信信號FP,FN係藉由選擇器183而加以供給至能率調整電路150。 As shown in FIG. 6, the fuze signals FP, FN are stored in the fuze circuit 181. The fuze circuit 181 is a non-volatile memory circuit including an optical fuze element or an electrical fuze element (a write-once element). In the manufacturing stage, the program of the fuze signals FP, FN is performed. The fuze signals FP, FN outputted from the fuze circuit 181 are supplied to the energy ratio adjusting circuit 150 by the selector 183.

另一方面,在測試動作時,應將引信信號FP,FN作為可變,而亦加以設置有測試模式電路182,而測試模式電路182係可輸出任意之測試引信信號TFP,TFN,經由使測試信號TEST活性化之時,可藉由選擇器183而供給至能率調整電路150。 On the other hand, in the test action, the fuze signals FP, FN should be made variable, and the test mode circuit 182 is also provided, and the test mode circuit 182 can output any test fuze signals TFP, TFN, via the test. When the signal TEST is activated, it can be supplied to the energy rate adjustment circuit 150 by the selector 183.

如此,是否使用時脈反相器CV2F,CV4F係除了測試動作時以外,成為固定性。隨之,經由能率調整部151之拉升能力及下拉能力之切換係始終各為16階段。但,經由使用時脈反相器CV2F,CV4F之時,能率調整部151之拉升能力及下拉能力之調整比則產生變化。例如,對於僅使用時脈反相器CV2F之情況,能率調整部151之驅動能力係可在2DC~17DC之範圍作調整,而對於使用時脈反相器CV2F,CV4F雙方之情況,能率調整部151之驅動能力係可在6DC~21DC之範圍作調整。此情況,在前者中,對於調整率,也就是最大驅動能力與最小驅動能力的比成為8.5倍(=17/2)之情況而言,在後者中,調整率則成為3.5倍(=21/6)。前者係欲大大確保能率之調整可能範圍之情況,例如對於比較低速之製品而言為最佳,後者係欲細化能率之最小調整間距之情況,例如對於比較高速之製品而言為最佳。如此,在本實施形態中,可容易地變更能率之調整可能範圍或最小調整間距 者。 In this way, whether or not the clock inverter CV2F is used, the CV4F is fixed except for the test operation. Accordingly, the switching between the pull-up capability and the pull-down capability by the energy rate adjustment unit 151 is always 16 stages. However, when the clock inverters CV2F and CV4F are used, the adjustment ratio of the pull-up capability and the pull-down capability of the energy rate adjustment unit 151 changes. For example, in the case where only the clocked inverter CV2F is used, the driving ability of the energy ratio adjusting unit 151 can be adjusted in the range of 2DC to 17DC, and the energy rate adjusting unit can be used in the case of using the clocked inverters CV2F and CV4F. The driving capability of 151 can be adjusted within the range of 6DC~21DC. In this case, in the former case, in the case where the adjustment ratio, that is, the ratio of the maximum drive capability to the minimum drive capability is 8.5 times (= 17/2), in the latter case, the adjustment rate is 3.5 times (= 21 / 6). The former is intended to greatly ensure the possible range of adjustment of the energy rate, for example, it is optimal for relatively low-speed products, and the latter is to refine the minimum adjustment interval of the energy rate, for example, for a relatively high-speed product. As described above, in the present embodiment, the adjustment range of the energy rate or the minimum adjustment pitch can be easily changed. By.

經由以上說明之構成,從能率調整部151所輸出之內部時脈信號PCLKA0之上升波形係依據控制信號P1,FP而加以控制,下拉波形係依據控制信號N1,FN而加以控制。 According to the configuration described above, the rising waveform of the internal clock signal PCLKA0 output from the energy rate adjusting unit 151 is controlled in accordance with the control signals P1 and FP, and the pull-down waveform is controlled in accordance with the control signals N1 and FN.

對於其他之能率調整部152~154,亦各輸入有對應之控制信號之外,係具有與上述之能率調整部151相同的電路構成。能率調整部152係接受內部時脈信號PCLKA0而生成內部時脈信號PCLKA1,能率調整部153係接受內部時脈信號PCLK0而生成內部時脈信號PCLKB0,能率調整部154係接受內部時脈信號PCLKB0而生成內部時脈信號PCLKB1。並且,內部時脈信號PCLKA1,PCLKB1係均加以供給至合成電路155。 The other energy rate adjustment units 152 to 154 have the same circuit configuration as the above-described energy rate adjustment unit 151, in addition to the corresponding control signals. The energy rate adjustment unit 152 receives the internal clock signal PCLKA0 to generate the internal clock signal PCLKA1, and the energy rate adjustment unit 153 receives the internal clock signal PCLK0 to generate the internal clock signal PCLKB0, and the energy rate adjustment unit 154 receives the internal clock signal PCLKB0. The internal clock signal PCLKB1 is generated. Further, the internal clock signals PCLKA1 and PCLKB1 are supplied to the synthesizing circuit 155.

圖7係合成電路155之電路圖。 FIG. 7 is a circuit diagram of the synthesizing circuit 155.

如圖7所示,合成電路155係具備:輸入有內部時脈信號PCLKA1之4個反相器電路IVA1~IVA4,和輸入有內部時脈信號PCLKB1之4個反相器電路IVB1~IVB4。更且,合成電路155係各經由對應之控制信號IM1~IM4而任一方導通之傳輸閘極對TG1~TG4,而反相器電路IVA1~IVA4,IVB1~IVB4的輸出係藉由傳輸閘極對TG1~TG4之導通側而加以合成。 As shown in FIG. 7, the synthesizing circuit 155 includes four inverter circuits IVA1 to IVA4 to which the internal clock signal PCLKA1 is input, and four inverter circuits IVB1 to IVB4 to which the internal clock signal PCLKB1 is input. Furthermore, the synthesizing circuit 155 is a pair of transmission gates TG1 to TG4 that are each turned on via the corresponding control signals IM1 to IM4, and the outputs of the inverter circuits IVA1 to IVA4, IVB1 to IVB4 are transmitted through a gate pair. The conduction sides of TG1 to TG4 are combined.

當具體說明時,反相器電路IVA1~IVA4之輸出節點係各藉由傳輸閘極對TGA1~TGA4而加以短路,而反相器電路IVB1~IVB4之輸出節點係各藉由傳輸閘極對 TGB1~TGB4而加以短路。並且,構成傳輸閘極對TG1~TG4之2個傳輸閘極對(例如,TGA1與TGB1)係從各經由對應之控制信號IM1~IM4而任一方導通之情況,對應於控制信號IM1~IM4而可控制內部時脈信號PCLKA1與PCLKB1之合成比者。 When specifically stated, the output nodes of the inverter circuits IVA1~IVA4 are short-circuited by the transmission gates TGA1~TGA4, and the output nodes of the inverter circuits IVB1~IVB4 are each transmitted through the gate pair. Short circuit by TGB1~TGB4. Further, the two transmission gate pairs (for example, TGA1 and TGB1) constituting the transmission gate pair TG1 to TG4 are electrically connected to each other via the corresponding control signals IM1 to IM4, and correspond to the control signals IM1 to IM4. It can control the synthesis ratio of the internal clock signal PCLKA1 and PCLKB1.

例如,如將傳輸閘極對TGA1~TGA4之中3個作為導通狀態,而將傳輸閘極對TGB1~TGB4之中1個作為導通狀態,可以3:1之合成比而合成內部時脈信號PCLKA1,PCLKB1,生成內部時脈信號PCLK1者。或者,如將傳輸閘極對TGA1~TGA4之中2個作為導通狀態,而將傳輸閘極對TGB1~TGB4之中2個作為導通狀態,可以1:1之合成比而合成內部時脈信號PCLKA1,PCLKB1,生成內部時脈信號PCLK1者。 For example, if three of the transmission gate pairs TGA1 to TGA4 are turned on, and one of the transmission gate pairs TGB1 to TGB4 is turned on, the internal clock signal PCLKA1 can be synthesized by a synthesis ratio of 3:1. , PCLKB1, which generates the internal clock signal PCLK1. Alternatively, if two of the transmission gate pairs TGA1 to TGA4 are turned on, and two of the transmission gate pairs TGB1 to TGB4 are turned on, the internal clock signal PCLKA1 can be synthesized by a 1:1 synthesis ratio. , PCLKB1, which generates the internal clock signal PCLK1.

對於此等控制信號IM1~IM4,亦構成上述之能率控制信號D2之信號的一部分。隨之,對於能率控制信號D2係成為包含有控制信號P1~P4,N1~N4,IM1~IM4者。如上述,能率控制信號D2係經由DCC控制電路170而加以生成。 These control signals IM1 to IM4 also form part of the signal of the above-described energy rate control signal D2. Accordingly, the energy rate control signal D2 is included in the control signals P1 to P4, N1 to N4, and IM1 to IM4. As described above, the energy rate control signal D2 is generated via the DCC control circuit 170.

圖8係模式性地顯示DCC控制電路170之構成的方塊圖。 FIG. 8 is a block diagram schematically showing the configuration of the DCC control circuit 170.

DCC控制電路170係接受從能率檢測電路160所輸出之例如8位元之能率檢測信號D1,經由解碼及邏輯演算此等而生成能率控制信號D2。雖並無特別加以限定,但在本實施形態中,能率檢測信號D1則為8位元之 二元化信號,其中上位6位元b7~b2係為了生成控制信號P1~P4,N1~N4而加以使用,而下位2位元b1,b0係為了生成控制信號IM1~IM4而加以使用。特別是最上位位元b7係作為顯示能率比不足50%或超過50%之信號所使用。此情況係意味能率檢測信號D1的值如為「01111111b」以下,內部時脈信號LCLK之能率比則不足50%,而能率檢測信號D1的值如為「10000000b」以上,內部時脈信號LCLK之能率比則超過50%。 The DCC control circuit 170 receives the energy rate detection signal D1 of, for example, 8 bits output from the energy rate detecting circuit 160, and generates an energy rate control signal D2 via decoding and logic calculation. Although not particularly limited, in the present embodiment, the energy detection signal D1 is 8-bit. The binary signal, in which the upper 6 bits b7 to b2 are used to generate the control signals P1 to P4, N1 to N4, and the lower 2 bits b1 and b0 are used to generate the control signals IM1 to IM4. In particular, the uppermost bit b7 is used as a signal indicating that the energy ratio is less than 50% or more than 50%. In this case, the value of the energy rate detection signal D1 is "01111111b" or less, and the energy ratio of the internal clock signal LCLK is less than 50%, and the value of the energy detection signal D1 is "10000000b" or more, and the internal clock signal LCLK is The energy ratio is over 50%.

如圖8所示,DCC控制電路170係具備:解碼能率檢測信號D1之位元b6~b2之解碼器171,和解碼能率檢測信號D1之位元b1,b0之解碼器172,依據解碼器171之輸出信號與能率檢測信號D1之最上位位元b7而進行邏輯演算之邏輯電路173。邏輯電路173係最上位位元b7為0之情況,也就是,對於內部時脈信號LCLK之能率比為不足50%之情況,位元b6~b2的值則越小,能率調整電路150之驅動能力則呈變小地生成控制信號P1~P4,N1~N4。相反地,最上位位元b7為1之情況,也就是,對於內部時脈信號LCLK之能率比為超過50%之情況,位元b6~b2的值則越大,能率調整電路150之驅動能力則呈變小地生成控制信號P1~P4,N1~N4。另一方面,解碼器172的輸出係作為控制信號IM1~IM4而加以使用。 As shown in FIG. 8, the DCC control circuit 170 includes a decoder 171 that decodes the bits b6 to b2 of the power rate detection signal D1, and a decoder 172 that decodes the bits b1 and b0 of the energy rate detection signal D1, according to the decoder 171. The output signal and the uppermost bit b7 of the energy detection signal D1 are logically calculated by the logic circuit 173. The logic circuit 173 is a case where the uppermost bit b7 is 0, that is, when the energy ratio of the internal clock signal LCLK is less than 50%, the value of the bit b6 to b2 is smaller, and the driving of the energy adjustment circuit 150 is driven. The ability to generate control signals P1~P4, N1~N4 is reduced. Conversely, the case where the uppermost bit b7 is 1, that is, for the case where the energy ratio of the internal clock signal LCLK is more than 50%, the value of the bit b6 to b2 is larger, and the driving ability of the energy adjustment circuit 150 is higher. The control signals P1 to P4 and N1 to N4 are generated to be smaller. On the other hand, the output of the decoder 172 is used as the control signals IM1 to IM4.

在此,控制信號P1,P3,N2,N4係構成第1控制信號,最上位位元b7為0之情況,也就是,在內部 時脈信號LCLK之能率比為不足50%之情況中,因應實際之能率比而控制其值。此情況,構成第2控制信號之控制信號P2,P4,N1,N3係加以固定為最大值。此等控制信號P1,P3,N2,N4係取得相互關連的值。在本實施形態中,P1=P3,N2=N4,且,P1,P3與N2,N4係相互成為反轉信號之故,經由使1種類之控制信號衍生之時而可生成此等控制信號P1,P3,N2,N4者。 Here, the control signals P1, P3, N2, and N4 constitute the first control signal, and the uppermost bit b7 is 0, that is, internally. In the case where the energy ratio of the clock signal LCLK is less than 50%, the value is controlled in accordance with the actual energy ratio. In this case, the control signals P2, P4, N1, and N3 constituting the second control signal are fixed to the maximum value. These control signals P1, P3, N2, N4 are values that are related to each other. In the present embodiment, P1 = P3, N2 = N4, and P1, P3, N2, and N4 are mutually inverted signals, and these control signals P1 can be generated by deriving one type of control signal. , P3, N2, N4.

同樣地,控制信號P2,P4,N1,N3係構成第2控制信號,最上位位元b7為1之情況,也就是,在內部時脈信號LCLK之能率比為超過50%之情況中,因應實際之能率比而控制其值。此情況,構成第1控制信號之控制信號P1,P3,N2,N4係加以固定為最大值。如後述,此等控制信號P2,P4,N1,N3係取得相互關連的值。在本實施形態中,P2=P4,N1=N3,且,P2,P4與N1,N3係相互成為反轉信號之故,經由使1種類之控制信號衍生之時而可生成此等控制信號P2,P4,N1,N3者。 Similarly, the control signals P2, P4, N1, and N3 constitute the second control signal, and the uppermost bit b7 is 1, that is, in the case where the energy ratio of the internal clock signal LCLK is more than 50%, The actual energy ratio is controlled to control its value. In this case, the control signals P1, P3, N2, and N4 constituting the first control signal are fixed to the maximum value. As will be described later, these control signals P2, P4, N1, and N3 acquire mutually correlated values. In the present embodiment, P2 = P4, N1 = N3, and P2, P4 and N1, N3 are mutually inverted signals, and these control signals P2 can be generated by deriving one type of control signal. , P4, N1, N3.

圖9及圖10係為了說明能率檢測信號D1之位元b6~b2的值與驅動能力之關係的模式圖,而圖9係顯示能率比為不足50%之情況,圖10係顯示能率比為超過50%之情況。 9 and 10 are schematic diagrams for explaining the relationship between the values of the bits b6 to b2 of the energy detection signal D1 and the driving ability, and FIG. 9 shows a case where the energy ratio is less than 50%, and FIG. 10 shows that the energy ratio is More than 50% of the time.

圖9及圖10所示之符號190係能率檢測信號D1之位元b6~b2的值,合計為可採取32種類的值。對於顯示能率比為不足50%之情況,係顯示位元b6~b2的值越 小,能率比則更小之狀態者,而對於顯示能率比為超過50%之情況,係顯示位元b6~b2的值越大,能率比則更大之狀態者。另外,符號191係顯示傳送通道A之調整量,而符號192係顯示傳送通道B之調整量。 The symbol 190 shown in Figs. 9 and 10 is a value of the bits b6 to b2 of the energy rate detection signal D1, and is a total of 32 types of values. For the case where the display energy ratio is less than 50%, the value of the display bit b6 to b2 is shown. Small, the rate is smaller than the state, and for the case where the display energy ratio is more than 50%, it is shown that the value of the bit b6 to b2 is larger, and the energy ratio is larger. In addition, the symbol 191 indicates the adjustment amount of the transmission channel A, and the symbol 192 indicates the adjustment amount of the transmission channel B.

在此,調整量A2~A17及B2~B17係相當於上述之驅動能力2DC~17DC的調整量。但在傳送通道A之調整量A2~A17係對於在傳送通道B之調整量B2~B17而言,驅動能力則僅0.5DC分減小加以設計。 Here, the adjustment amounts A2 to A17 and B2 to B17 correspond to the adjustment amounts of the above-described driving capacities 2DC to 17DC. However, the adjustment amounts A2 to A17 in the transmission path A are designed to reduce the driving capability by only 0.5 DC for the adjustment amounts B2 to B17 of the transmission path B.

因應位元b6~b2的值之傳送通道A,B之調整量的設定係如以下加以進行。 The setting of the adjustment amount of the transmission channels A and B in response to the values of the bits b6 to b2 is performed as follows.

首先,能率比為不足50%之情況,位元b6~b2的值則為在圖9之符號193所示之「10000b」,在傳送通道A之調整量係加以設定為對應於此之A10。另一方面,對於傳送通道B係加以設定為調整量則較調整量A10大1間距之調整量B9。在此,對於能率比為不足50%之情況,必須對於能率調整部151,153,係上升電路UP的驅動能力則經由控制信號P1,P3加以調整之另一方面,下拉電路DN之驅動能力係加以固定為最大值,對於能率調整部152,154,係下拉電路DN的驅動能力則經由控制信號N2,N4加以調整之另一方面,上升電路UP的驅動能力係加以固定為最大值。 First, when the energy ratio is less than 50%, the values of the bits b6 to b2 are "10000b" indicated by the symbol 193 in Fig. 9, and the adjustment amount in the transmission channel A is set to correspond to A10. On the other hand, the transfer channel B is set to an adjustment amount B9 which is larger than the adjustment amount A10 by one pitch. Here, in the case where the energy ratio is less than 50%, it is necessary to adjust the driving ability of the power-up adjusting units 151 and 153 to the rising circuit UP via the control signals P1 and P3, and the driving capability of the pull-down circuit DN is The driving ability of the pull-down circuit DN is adjusted by the control signals N2, N4 for the energy rate adjusting sections 152, 154, and the driving capability of the rising circuit UP is fixed to the maximum value.

隨之,在本例中,如模式圖之圖11所示,含於能率調整部151,153之上升電路UP的驅動能力則各加以設定為10DC及9DC,而含於能率調整部152,154 之下拉電路DN的驅動能力則各加以設定為10DC及9DC。對於其他之上升電路UP及下拉電路DN,係加以設定為最大之驅動能力(17DC)。其結果,當輸入內部時脈信號PCLK0時,內部時脈信號PCLKA0,PCLKB0之上升邊緣則鈍化同時,內部時脈信號PCLKA1,PCLKB1之下拉邊緣則成為鈍化。 Then, in this example, as shown in Fig. 11 of the schematic diagram, the driving capacities of the rising circuits UP included in the energy rate adjusting units 151, 153 are set to 10 DC and 9 DC, respectively, and are included in the energy rate adjusting portions 152, 154. The driving ability of the pull-down circuit DN is set to 10 DC and 9 DC, respectively. For the other rising circuit UP and pull-down circuit DN, the maximum driving capability (17DC) is set. As a result, when the internal clock signal PCLK0 is input, the rising edge of the internal clock signals PCLKA0, PCLKB0 is passivated, and the inner edge signals PCLKA1, PCLKB1 are pulled down to become passivated.

圖12係顯示在能率比不足50%之情況的內部時脈信號之能率比的變化之波形圖。在圖12中,以實線顯示之波形係實際的波形,而以虛線顯示之波形係能率比為50%情況之波形。此點係對於後述之圖14中亦為同樣。 Fig. 12 is a waveform diagram showing changes in the energy ratio of the internal clock signal in the case where the energy ratio is less than 50%. In Fig. 12, the waveform shown by the solid line is the actual waveform, and the waveform shown by the broken line is the waveform of the case where the energy ratio is 50%. This point is also the same for FIG. 14 which will be described later.

如上述,對於顯示能率比為不足50%之情況,係在初段之能率調整部151,153中,上升能力則呈變小地加以調整之故,因應上升能力而內部時脈信號PCLKA0,PCLKB0之上升邊緣則鈍化。在此,下段之能率調整部152,154之邏輯臨界值係從加以設定為中間電位VM之情況,在能率調整部152,154中,輸入位準則從低位準切換成高位準之時間則變慢。此係從與內部時脈信號PCLK0之下拉邊緣變慢之情況等效之情況,能率比則擴大。 As described above, in the case where the display energy ratio is less than 50%, in the first-stage energy rate adjusting units 151 and 153, the rising capability is adjusted to be small, and the internal clock signals PCLKA0 and PCLKB0 are required in response to the rising capability. The rising edge is passivated. Here, in the case where the logical threshold value of the energy rate adjustment sections 152, 154 of the lower stage is set to the intermediate potential VM, in the energy rate adjustment sections 152, 154, the time when the input bit criterion is switched from the low level to the high level becomes slow. . This is equivalent to the case where the edge is slowed down below the internal clock signal PCLK0, and the energy ratio is expanded.

更且,在下段之能率調整部152,154中下拉能力呈變小地加以調整之故,因應下拉能力而內部時脈信號PCLKA1,PCLKB1之下拉邊緣則鈍化。在此,下段之合成電路155之邏輯臨界值,亦從加以設定為中間電位 VM之情況,在合成電路155中,輸入位準則從高位準切換成低位準之時間則變慢。此係從與內部時脈信號PCLK0之下拉邊緣變更慢之情況等效之情況,能率比則更加擴大。經由如此之原理,能率比則加以擴大至50%附近為止。 Further, in the lower energy rate adjustment units 152, 154, the pull-down capability is adjusted to be smaller. Therefore, the internal clock signals PCLKA1 and PCLKB1 are passivated under the pull-down capability in response to the pull-down capability. Here, the logic threshold of the synthesis circuit 155 of the lower stage is also set as the intermediate potential. In the case of the VM, in the synthesizing circuit 155, the time when the input bit criterion is switched from the high level to the low level becomes slower. This is equivalent to the case where the edge change is slower than the internal clock signal PCLK0, and the energy ratio is further expanded. Through this principle, the energy ratio is expanded to around 50%.

接著,能率比為超過50%之情況,位元b6~b2的值則為在圖9之符號193所示之「10000b」,在傳送通道A之調整量係加以設定為對應於此之A9。另一方面,對於傳送通道B係加以設定為調整量則較調整量A9大1間距之調整量B9。在此,對於能率比為超過50%之情況,必須對於能率調整部151,153,係下拉電路DN的驅動能力則經由控制信號N1,N3加以調整之另一方面,上升電路UP之驅動能力係加以固定為最大值,對於能率調整部152,154,係上升電路UP的驅動能力則經由控制信號P2,P4加以調整之另一方面,下拉電路DN的驅動能力係加以固定為最大值。 Next, when the energy ratio is more than 50%, the values of the bits b6 to b2 are "10000b" indicated by the symbol 193 in Fig. 9, and the adjustment amount in the transmission channel A is set to correspond to A9. On the other hand, the transfer channel B is set to an adjustment amount B9 which is larger than the adjustment amount A9 by one pitch. Here, in the case where the energy ratio is more than 50%, it is necessary to adjust the driving ability of the pull-down circuit DN to the energy rate adjusting units 151 and 153 via the control signals N1 and N3, and the driving ability of the rising circuit UP is The driving capacity of the rising circuit UP is adjusted by the control signals P2 and P4 for the energy rate adjusting units 152 and 154. The driving capability of the pull-down circuit DN is fixed to the maximum value.

隨之,在本例中,如模式圖之圖13所示,含於能率調整部151,153之下拉電路DN的驅動能力則均加以設定為9DC,而含於能率調整部152,154之上升電路UP的驅動能力則均加以設定為9DC。對於其他之上升電路UP及下拉電路DN,係加以設定為最大之驅動能力(17DC)。其結果,當輸入內部時脈信號PCLK0時,內部時脈信號PCLKA0,PCLKB0之下拉邊緣則鈍化同時,內部時脈信號PCLKA1,PCLKB1之上升邊緣則成為鈍 化。 Accordingly, in this example, as shown in Fig. 13 of the pattern diagram, the driving ability of the pull-down circuit DN included in the energy rate adjusting sections 151, 153 is set to 9 DC, and is included in the rise of the energy rate adjusting sections 152, 154. The driving capability of the circuit UP is set to 9DC. For the other rising circuit UP and pull-down circuit DN, the maximum driving capability (17DC) is set. As a result, when the internal clock signal PCLK0 is input, the internal clock signals PCLKA0, PCLKB0 are passivated while the edge is passivated, and the rising edges of the internal clock signals PCLKA1, PCLKB1 become blunt. Chemical.

圖14係顯示在能率比超過50%之情況的內部時脈信號之能率比的變化之波形圖。 Fig. 14 is a waveform diagram showing changes in the energy ratio of the internal clock signal in the case where the energy ratio exceeds 50%.

如上述,對於顯示能率比為超過50%之情況,係在初段之能率調整部151,153中,下拉能力則呈變小地加以調整之故,因應下拉能力而內部時脈信號PCLKA0,PCLKB0之下拉邊緣則鈍化。在此,下段之能率調整部152,154之邏輯臨界值係從加以設定為中間電位VM之情況,在能率調整部152,154中,輸入位準則從高位準切換成低位準之時間則變慢。此係從與內部時脈信號PCLK0之上升邊緣變慢之情況等效之情況,能率比則減少。 As described above, in the case where the display energy ratio is more than 50%, the pull-down capability is adjusted to be smaller in the initial energy rate adjustment units 151 and 153, and the internal clock signals PCLKA0 and PCLKB0 are required in response to the pull-down capability. The drop-down edge is passivated. Here, in the case where the logical threshold value of the energy rate adjustment sections 152, 154 of the lower stage is set to the intermediate potential VM, in the energy rate adjustment sections 152, 154, the time when the input bit criterion is switched from the high level to the low level becomes slow. . This is equivalent to the case where the rising edge of the internal clock signal PCLK0 is slow, and the energy ratio is reduced.

更且,在下段之能率調整部152,154中上升能力呈變小地加以調整之故,因應上升能力而內部時脈信號PCLKA1,PCLKB1之上升邊緣則鈍化。在此,下段之合成電路155之邏輯臨界值,亦從加以設定為中間電位VM之情況,在合成電路155中,輸入位準則從低位準切換成高位準之時間則變慢。此係從與內部時脈信號PCLK0之上升邊緣變更慢之情況等效之情況,能率比則更加減少。經由如此之原理,能率比則加以減少至50%附近為止。 Further, in the lower energy rate adjustment units 152 and 154, the rising power is adjusted to be small, and the rising edge of the internal clock signals PCLKA1 and PCLKB1 is passivated in response to the rising capability. Here, the logic threshold value of the synthesis circuit 155 of the lower stage is also set to the intermediate potential VM. In the synthesis circuit 155, the time when the input bit criterion is switched from the low level to the high level becomes slow. This is equivalent to the case where the rising edge of the internal clock signal PCLK0 is changed slowly, and the energy ratio is further reduced. Through this principle, the energy ratio is reduced to around 50%.

如此,含於DCC控制電路170之邏輯電路173係依據能率檢測信號D1之位元b7~b2的值而生成控制信號P1~P4,N1~N4,根據經由此而控制能率調整部 151~154之驅動能力之時,生成2個內部時脈信號PCLKA1,PCLKB1。如上述,傳送通道A之調整量與傳送通道B之調整量係僅驅動能力0.5DC分差異之故,內部時脈信號PCLKA1,PCLKB1的能率比的差係成為相當於驅動能力0.5DC之最小間距。具有如此之能率差之內部時脈信號PCLKA1,PCLKB1係加以輸入至合成電路155。 In this manner, the logic circuit 173 included in the DCC control circuit 170 generates the control signals P1 to P4, N1 to N4 based on the values of the bits b7 to b2 of the energy rate detection signal D1, and controls the energy rate adjustment unit based thereon. When the driving capability of 151~154 is generated, two internal clock signals PCLKA1 and PCLKB1 are generated. As described above, the adjustment amount of the transmission channel A and the adjustment amount of the transmission channel B are only the difference of the driving capability of 0.5 DC, and the difference in the energy ratio of the internal clock signals PCLKA1 and PCLKB1 becomes the minimum pitch equivalent to the driving capability of 0.5 DC. . The internal clock signals PCLKA1, PCLKB1 having such a difference in energy rate are input to the synthesizing circuit 155.

圖15係為了說明合成電路155之動作的波形圖,(a)係顯示能率比不足50%的情況之波形,(b)係顯示能率比超過50%的情況之波形。 Fig. 15 is a waveform diagram for explaining the operation of the synthesizing circuit 155. (a) shows a waveform in a case where the energy ratio is less than 50%, and (b) shows a waveform in a case where the energy ratio exceeds 50%.

對於能率比不足50%之情況,係對於內部時脈信號PCLK0而言,內部時脈信號PCLKA1,PCLKB1之下拉邊緣變慢。並且,如圖15(a)所示,內部時脈信號PCLKA1之下拉邊緣係對於內部時脈信號PCLKB1之下拉邊緣而言,具有相當於驅動能力0.5DC之延遲。如經由合成電路155而合成如此之2個內部時脈信號PCLKA1,PCLKB1,因應控制信號IM1~IM4的值而可取得3個中間相位M1,M2,M3任一者。 For the case where the energy ratio is less than 50%, the internal clock signal PCLKA1, PCLKB1 lowers the edge of the internal clock signal PCLK0. Further, as shown in FIG. 15(a), the pull-down edge of the internal clock signal PCLKA1 has a delay equivalent to a driving capability of 0.5 DC for the pull-down edge of the internal clock signal PCLKB1. Such two internal clock signals PCLKA1, PCLKB1 are synthesized via the combining circuit 155, and any of the three intermediate phases M1, M2, M3 can be obtained in response to the values of the control signals IM1 to IM4.

另一方面,對於能率比超過50%之情況,係對於內部時脈信號PCLK0而言,內部時脈信號PCLKA1,PCLKB1之上升邊緣變慢。並且,如圖15(b)所示,內部時脈信號PCLKA1之上升邊緣係對於內部時脈信號PCLKB1之上升邊緣而言,具有相當於驅動能力0.5DC之延遲。如經由合成電路155而合成如此之2個內 部時脈信號PCLKA1,PCLKB1,因應控制信號IM1~IM4的值而可取得3個中間相位M1,M2,M3者。 On the other hand, in the case where the energy ratio exceeds 50%, the rising edge of the internal clock signals PCLKA1, PCLKB1 becomes slow for the internal clock signal PCLK0. Further, as shown in FIG. 15(b), the rising edge of the internal clock signal PCLKA1 has a delay equivalent to a driving capability of 0.5 DC for the rising edge of the internal clock signal PCLKB1. Synthesizing such two within the synthesis circuit 155 The partial clock signals PCLKA1 and PCLKB1 can acquire three intermediate phases M1, M2, and M3 in response to the values of the control signals IM1 to IM4.

圖15(a)所示之中間相位M1~M3係顯示各以3:1,1:1,1:3的合成比,合成內部時脈信號PCLKA1,PCLKB1之情況所得到之內部時脈信號PCLK1之下拉邊緣。另外,圖15(b)所示之中間相位M1~M3係顯示各以3:1,1:1,1:3的合成比,合成內部時脈信號PCLKA1,PCLKB1之情況所得到之內部時脈信號PCLK1之上升邊緣。合成比的選擇係依據能率檢測信號D1之位元b1,b0,可經由控制信號IM1~IM4而進行者。 The intermediate phase M1 to M3 shown in Fig. 15(a) shows the internal clock signal PCLK1 obtained by synthesizing the internal clock signals PCLKA1 and PCLKB1 with a synthesis ratio of 3:1, 1:1, 1:3. The drop edge. In addition, the intermediate phases M1 to M3 shown in FIG. 15(b) display the internal clocks obtained by synthesizing the internal clock signals PCLKA1 and PCLKB1 with a combination ratio of 3:1, 1:1, and 1:3. The rising edge of signal PCLK1. The selection of the synthesis ratio is based on the bits b1, b0 of the energy rate detection signal D1, and can be performed via the control signals IM1 to IM4.

然而,對於將合成比做成1:0之情況,僅經由內部時脈信號PCLKA1而決定內部時脈信號PCLK1之波形,而對於將合成比做成0:1之情況,僅經由內部時脈信號PCLKB1而決定內部時脈信號PCLK1之波形。如此,合成電路155係亦可直接輸出並非中間值之波形之故,成為可將能率比的調整間距高精確度化成1/4(將分解能力作為4倍)者。 However, in the case where the synthesis ratio is made 1:0, the waveform of the internal clock signal PCLK1 is determined only by the internal clock signal PCLKA1, and for the case where the synthesis ratio is made 0:1, only the internal clock signal is passed. The waveform of the internal clock signal PCLK1 is determined by PCLKB1. In this way, the synthesizing circuit 155 can directly output a waveform that is not an intermediate value, and the accuracy of the adjustment pitch of the energy ratio can be made 1/4 (the decomposition capability is four times).

並且,使用能率調整部151~154之能率比的調整係32階段,且從經由合成電路155將分解能力作為4倍之情況,經由本實施形態之能率調整電路150,係成為可確保合計128階段之調整間距者。在此,對於假設使用微調整電晶體之偏壓位準的形式之能率調整電路之情況,產生有必須高精確度地生成128階度的偏壓電位,經由些微之雜訊而對於能率比將產生有大的誤差。對此,在 本實施形態中,未使用偏壓電位,而從經由完全之數位控制而使能率比變化者,成為可進行雜訊耐性為高,安定之能率調整動作者。 In addition, when the energy ratio adjustment units 151 to 154 adjust the energy ratio 32 stages and the resolution is four times from the synthesis circuit 155, the energy rate adjustment circuit 150 of the present embodiment can secure the total 128 stages.
