The circuit can be used to supply its output pen pressure to the transistor-control terminal to ensure its full switching performance. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Analog switches typically include field effect transistors (FETs). As necessary, 'to ensure the adequate performance of the device', the control voltage of these p ^ Ts must be such that the transistors are completely turned on or off. For example, when the source of the transistor is maintained at a potential higher than zero, 'it may not be enough to apply a positive electrode source voltage at the gate', because the gate-source voltage Vgs may not be large enough to ensure that the transistor is fully turned on. degree. This is a special problem in low voltage power supply circuits', for example, because the battery is expected to be used for power supply and the power consumption under this working condition is important. In such cases, the so-called voltage boosting circuit or charging excitation circuit is used to generate an electrical tag higher than the positive power supply, and applying S% voltage to the gate of the transistor to ensure sufficient source voltage.

Description of the invention (2) According to the present invention, the voltage boost switch driver provided includes an inverter with 4 outputs and inputs. Easy to use CMOS inverter. The output of the inverter is connected to one end of a transistor through a capacitor, and a specific voltage is applied to the other end of the transistor. The transistor is preferably a MOS type transistor. The input of the inverter is connected to the gate of the MOS transistor. The voltage at the transistor and capacitor connections can be used as an output. Selecting proper components can keep the output voltage equal to a specific voltage when the inverting If input is low, and its output can be roughly equal to the sum of the specific voltage and the positive power supply voltage when the inverter inputs a high potential. Thus, in the preferred embodiment, the output voltage is higher than the inverter input voltage by a certain value. For example, if a specific voltage is applied to the source of a MOS transistor as an analog switch, this is the application. The output voltage of the switching driver can be applied to the gate of the transistor to ensure that its gate-source voltage spans almost the entire range from zero to positive supply voltage. Brief description of the drawings Figure 1 is a schematic circuit diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment FIG. 1 shows a switch driver 2 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention, which is connected to a load element 4. … _ In the case of this example, the load element 4 is an enhanced N-channel MOS transistor 6 whose source and drain are connected to terminals 10 and 12, respectively. Such a circuit is generally desirable: at the output terminal 12, the output voltage of the circuit for switching is in phase with the input pulse at the input terminal 13. However, if the positive power supply voltage Vdd is relatively low, for example, because of the number of batteries that are expected to supply power -5- This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) Bakouge (2ί0 × 297 mm) ---- ^ --- ^- --i ------ IT ------ ;. mei (please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) 417353 Printed A7 B7 by the Consumer Procurement Cooperative of the Central Procurement Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Explanation (3) The quantity is reduced to a minimum. The positive voltage Vb existing on the input terminal 10 of the switch 4 may mean that simply adding the positive power supply voltage Vdd to the gate terminal 14 of the NMOS transistor 6 is not enough. If (Vdd-Vb) is not high enough, this will not be sufficient to achieve full switching. For example, if the transistor 6 is in the signal path, a positive bias voltage can be set so that the positive and negative signals fall around its positive bias voltage. Therefore, a switch is provided to drive the battery 2 to boost the positive supply voltage Vdd to bring the gate terminal 14 to a sufficient voltage. In particular, the switch driving circuit 2 includes an inverter 16 including a PMOS transistor 18 and an NMOS transistor 20, which are connected between the positive power supply voltage Vdd and the negative power supply voltage Vss, and its input terminal 13 is connected to the transistors 18, 20 The gate 22 of the inverter 16 is connected to one terminal of the capacitor 24, and the other terminal of the capacitor is connected to the gate terminal 14 of the NMOS transistor 6. The switch driving circuit 2 also includes another enhanced NMOS transistor 26, whose drain is connected to the gate 14 and its gate is connected to the power input 13. It is important that the source of the transistor 26 is maintained at a forward bias voltage. In the circuit example of FIG. 1, the source of the transistor 26 is directly connected to the switch input terminal 10, that is, the voltage Vb (for example, the voltage may be about 1.25V). However, as described above, the voltage Vb can be used as the positive bias voltage Vb, on which a signal is applied to the transistor 6. The magnitude of these signals must be lower than the threshold voltage of the transistor to ensure the correct operation of the circuit. For example, when Vb = 1.25V, the voltage applied to the input 10 of the switch can be within the range of 0.95-1.55V. In this case,-the voltage Vb itself can still be applied to the source of the transistor 26 = Figure 1 circuit operation When the pulse signal of input node 13 is high potential, -6-This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page)-Install. Order 417353 A-7 in the Ministry of Economic Affairs _ printed by B7 of the Consumer Bureau of the Bureau of the Bureau of the People's Republic of China 5. Description of the Invention (4) When Vdd is equal to Vdd, the inverter 16 operates to make its output terminal 22 low, that is, equal to Vss. In addition, the high potential of the input node 13 is applied to the gate of the transistor 26, which turns on the transistor and clamps the voltage of the gate 14 to Vb. Therefore, the voltage across the capacitor 24 is the difference between the above two voltages, i.e., (Vb-Vss). In the second half of the input voltage, when the input at node 13 is Vss, the inverter 16 outputs an inverted voltage, and at the inverter output terminal 22, the voltage is Vdd. More specifically, a low potential is applied to the gate of transistor_18. The transistor is turned on, and the output voltage of the inverter is clamped to the positive mains voltage of the circuit. The voltage across capacitor 24 is determined by the charge sharing previously existing on it. If the voltage across capacitor 24 is (Vb-Vss), the charge on it is C (Vb-Vss), where C is the capacitor of capacitor 24. When the voltage at the input node 13 becomes a low potential, the transistor 26 is turned off, and the gate terminal 14 is floated. The charge on the capacitor 24 is related to the load, here is the switch 4, and the charge on the capacitor is redistributed. However, if the capacitance of the load is much smaller than the capacitance C of the capacitor 24, only a small portion of the charge is transferred to the load, so the charge on the capacitor 24, that is, the voltage at the capacitor 24, is relatively maintained as constant. In that case, the voltage at the output terminal 22 of the inverter rises to Vdd, and the voltage at the gate terminal 14 approaches (V4d-Vss + Vb), which is of course higher than Vb by the difference in power supply voltage. This effect is that the gate-source voltage Vgs of transistor 6 is nearly equal to the entire power supply voltage (that is, the difference between the positive and negative mains voltages on the circuit), so this is sufficient to ensure the full switching performance of the component. The circuit described above can be manufactured in a single product using the N-well CMOS process (please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) • The binding paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) Α4 specification (210X 297 male) (Centi) 417353 'M ___________ Β7 5. Description of the invention (5) in the body circuit. It can be realized that the PMOS transistor is used to replace the NMOS transistor described in the above example, and vice versa, and the polarity of the power supply voltage is reversed, and the well CMOS process can also be applied equivalently. In addition, 'Although the circuit described here is made of a CMOS element, it can be appreciated that any P-type field effect transistor or combination of PNP transistors is used in place of the described PMOS element and an N-type field effect transistor or NPN transistor group, Combined instead of the NOMS element, the three-carrier 3 CM0s type can be used. Therefore, in the above-mentioned specific example of the present invention, the increase voltage available at the gate terminal 14 is in phase with the input voltage at the node 3, and comes from the capacitive coupling, so the DC power loss related to the driving circuit 2 does not exist. Therefore, this circuit provides a favorable method for obtaining a voltage higher than the power supply of the circuit on the first floor.
