Abstract

In a circuit which requires exceptional state transition times and which employs SOI technology, the predictability of the response and the state transition times are optimized by tying the voltage level of the body of differential input sense transistors to the differential data input. Transistor turn on voltages for differential input sense transistors are made predictable and obtain enhanced performance in speed by tying the differential input sense transistors to their pre-charge inputs. By so doing, the body voltage follows the circuit input voltage signal, which speeds response time of the differential input sense transistors.

Description of the invention () Field of the invention: The invention has silicon (SOI) technology on the insulation layer. More specifically, the present invention relates to circuit topology, which involves SOI as the main circuit element. To put it more clearly, 'The present invention relates to the improvement of the response time of the SOI main amplifier. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION: There is a silicon (SOI) thin film transistor on the insulating layer, which includes an active region (source / drain region). The insulating layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate with a thin insulating layer under the semiconductor substrate. Because the active area is insulated from the semiconductor substrate, the SOI type thin film transistor system is characterized by a particularly small junction capacitance in the active area. While allowing high speed and low power consumption operation. When the 鳢 region of the SOI transistor is floating, various voltage levels of the main body affect the on-voltage of the transistor. Because the on-voltage of the transistor is a function of the history before the state of the circuit's data, the application efficiency of, for example, an inductive amplifier is reduced. The various voltages of the ONLE crystal's on-state voltage change up and down instead of staying fixed. Therefore, the predictability of operation becomes a problem. • When the volume level of the SOI transistor is set to ground, or vDD, the speed advantage of the SOI transistor is eliminated because the threshold voltage of the s 01 transistor is reduced. Threshold voltage to the device. Purpose of the invention and sincerity: In circuits that require exceptional state transition time and use SOI technology, the predictability of the response and state transition time can be tied to the differential data by detecting the main voltage level of the differential into the induction transistor Enter it and put it on the back of Mtt; I will fill in this page if necessary.) ^ ----- II — Order --- 1 —!

Description of the invention () Low or, the main terminals of the transistors N1 and N2 can be connected to the voltage Vdd (not Shows). As for the operation of the differential inductive amplifier circuit 100, the transistors 1 ^ 1 and N2 sense the differential bit line voltages "in actuality" on the input lines BL and BL_B. One input voltage line is the complement of the other. Transistors 1 P1 and P2 act as low-lift devices for the input stage of the amplifier. The β-transistor N3 system functions to enable the inductive amplifier, and the differential input system is created in the bit line input BL and bit line input BL_B. The output signal from the time difference amplifier is further increased by the inverting stages Π and 12. The bit line voltages from the lines BL and BL_B are inverted and output via the inverting stages II and 12 and amplify the signals to become the outputs BL_B and B. Although this amplifier can operate as expected, the performance of the differential inductive amplifier 100 is slower than desired. In a second variation (not shown) of the differential induction amplifier circuit 100 depicted in the first frame, the bodies of the transistors N1 and N2 are allowed to flow. That is, 'as opposed to connecting the transistor N1 to the ground via the junction surface Π, the main body remains isolated from the ground. Similarly, the body of the transistor N2 is not connected to the ground terminal 'via the junction J2, but floats on the ground terminal. By allowing the main transistors N1 and N2 to float, the following disadvantages occur: When one of the bit lines, either line BL or BL_B, switches the subject of the relevant path, the transistor N1 or N2 has a lower potential, Therefore, a mismatch of the on-state voltage of the transistor occurs. When the transistor N1 or N2 is not tied to the ground under the transistor, the transistor is floated at various voltage levels, which affects the transistor's on-voltage VT. Many applications do not allow the transistor to be energized. It is a letter from the previous circuit history.

Description of the invention () The number of problems occurs because the on-voltage is affected by the old data state. Therefore the predictability of the 'transistor reaction becomes a problem. As for the operation of another differential inductive amplifier 100, the bit line inputs BL and BL_B are precharged to high, and the inductive amplifier enables SENB to be low or high. "Inverting output output B and output B_B are low or closed." The crystals N1 and N2 are on, and the transistors P1 and P2 are off. Between the bit input lines BL and BL_B, when the sufficient potential difference is developed beyond the timing period of the noise threshold, the inductive amplification enables SENB to be high. The data on the bit wheel input lines BL and BL_B create a line, that is, the bit input line remains high 'and its complement, the bit input line BL_B goes low, and the electric crystal N2 is closed, and the crystal P2 is turned on at the same time. In this example, transistor N1 remains on and transistor P1 remains off because the input line BL remains high. Therefore, the fork chain latch system is triggered to capture the bit line value. This process repeats every beta period. The Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs prints a preferred embodiment according to the present invention. The solution to this is based on the differential input induction transistor provided by the body of the transistor. Connection to a control data input signal applied to its gate. This allows the body voltage to follow the input voltage of the circuit and assist the amplification in the inductive amplifier circuit, thereby speeding up its response time and simultaneously establishing a known controlled reference voltage, making the crystallographic response or action predictable. Although the amplifier can operate as desired, the performance of the differential inductive amplifier 100 is slower than desired. Figure 2 illustrates a differential inductive amplifier circuit according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The differential inductive amplifier 200 is basically the same as the differential inductive amplifier 100 described in the first picture. However, it is opposite to the connection of the relevant transistor 6T.

Description of the invention (> The junctions of the transistors N1 and N2 from the main body to the ground, and J2 are The main system is connected to the bit line voltage input BL-B through the junction J1 and the transistor N2 is connected to the bit line voltage input BL through the junction JT2. Therefore, the 'differential induction amplifier 200 series is basically different from The prior art is that the body voltage of the differential induction transistor is set to the transistor input voltage signal and is not set to ground or a fixed Vdd voltage. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the main system of the transistors N1 and N2 Tied to its gate, it was initially precharged high by pre-charging on bit line BL_B and bit line BL respectively. This allows the device to be in a fast state or low VTe for some periods to allow it to be in place Sufficient differential voltage between element wires After that, the inductive amplifier input SENB is turned on. In the circuit operation * Assuming that the bit input line BL_B voltage is approximately lower than the bit input line BL200 millivolts. Therefore, the main gift of the transistor N! Is a low potential or The higher VT * and the transistor N1's gate are at a much lower potential than the transistor N2's gate.

Description of the invention N2'N3 and N4 are connected to the ground, but the body of the transistor is kept at the edge of the ground. In operation, the 'sense amplifier' enables the SENB to be 300 t in the differential sense amplifier circuit. The enemy was initially turned off or the transistor P3 and μ are on, allowing vdd to precharge the gates of the transistors 鳢 p 丨, p2, N1, and N3. Precharging makes the outputs B and B_B from the inverters η and π to low. And the gate of N3 has the function of short voltage Vdd at the same time to pre-charge the sources of transistors N3 and N4 by turning on transistors M1 and N2. Sufficient potential difference between bit input lines BL and BL_B develops beyond noise After the threshold is reached, the sense amplifier enables SENB to go high. The data on the bit input lines BL and BL_B makes the first line, that is, the bit input line Bl remains high, and at the same time, its complement, that is, the bit input Line BL_B goes low, causing transistor N4 to turn off. At this time, transistor N3 remains on. Turning off transistor N4 The action 'has the role of maintaining the pre-charge level of the transistor pi and Ni, and at the same time, the conducting transistor N5 has the role of rowing the transistor N1 and the pre-charge level on the pole to the ground via the transistor 1 < 5. The pre-charges on the wafers N1 and N3 are dissipated, because the pre-charges on the transistors 艟 p2 and N2 have also been dissipated through the transistors Ni, N3 and finally the transistors N5, so the transistor p2 is turned on and the transistor N2 is closed. Therefore, the 'cross-lock latch is touched, and the bit line value β is captured. These processes are repeated every cycle. In other words,' after the sense amplifier enables senb to become high ', the differential sense amplifier circuit 3 〇〇 Actuating the differential induction amplifier circuit 10 (^ This process repeats a every cycle.

Description of the invention () Road. The differential induction amplifier circuit 400 is basically the same as the circuit immersed in Figure 3. However, instead of the junctions J1 and J2 of the transistors N1 and N2, the main body of the transistor is connected to the ground, and the transistor N1 The main skeleton is connected to the brake control voltage, which is the voltage Vdd in the precharge state. The main system of transistor N2 is connected to its gate control voltage, which is also the voltage Vdda in the pre-charged state, and the main system of transistor N3 is also connected to the gate control voltage of transistor N1 via junction J3. The precharge state is the gate control voltage of the transistor V4 with the voltage Vd «r connected to the transistor« N2 via the junction J4, which is the voltage Vdd in the precharge state. Therefore, the differential induction amplifier 400 is basically different from the prior art in that the main voltage of the differential induction transistor is set to the transistor input voltage signal, which is at least the precharge voltage Vdd at the beginning. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bodies of the transistors N1, N2, N3, and N4 are initially precharged by the precharge voltage vdd via the transistors P3 and P4 to be high. This makes the device in a fast state or a period of time with a low νΤβ enough differential voltage between the bit lines, the sense amplifier SENB reacts to the bit input line difference between BL and BL_B, and turns on and goes high. Assuming that the voltage of BL „B is about 200 millivolts lower than the bit input line BL β, the gate of the transistor N3 is full or high, the bit data line BL goes high and the body of the transistor N3 remains high because the voltage Vdd Pre-charging 'makes transistor N3 in a very fast state or low VT »Therefore, transistor N3 is turned on' to complete the path from transistor N5 to ground. With the opening of transistor N3 to ground, The pre-charge voltage Vdd on the transistor P2 and N2 gates dissipates to the ground, and the transistor

Description of the invention () Precharge voltage Vdd on N2 and N4 bodies The same is true. 1 The dissipation of the precharge voltage on the body of transistor N4 makes the body of transistor N4 a low potential and a high VT, so that transistor N4 is pre-charged off faster than no transistor body. The gate of transistor N4 is also lower than the gate of transistor N3 because the voltage BL is higher than the voltage BL_B. The aforementioned body-gate potential group will close the transistor N3 and the conduction transistor N4 faster, so that the latching structure of the transistor N1'N2, P1, and P2 will quickly capture the bit value B.
