At the same time, the current passing through the contact 36 will also pass through the delay device 28, such as the third inverter 44, the MOS capacitor 50, the fourth inverter 46, and the MOS capacitor, to produce a delay effect. In this way, when the voltage level at the output terminal of the fifth inverter 48 fails to rise to Vdd-Vth (Vth is the starting voltage of the MOS diode 38) due to the signal delay, the power of the contact 72 = will be Maintained around this predetermined value for a period of time. Until the contact 56 receives a current from a high potential to a low potential and the current through the fifth inverter 48 rises from a low potential to a high potential (Vdd-Vth), the jjos diode 38 can be turned on and pulled The potential of the high contact 72 is Vdd-Vth. It should be particularly emphasized that the design of the one-way switch 30 here can effectively avoid the signai > competition between the GVFPUL circuit 32 and the delay device 28. As for the design of the MOS diode 38, it is ensured that the GVFPUL circuit 32 will only pull up the potential of the contact 72. Among them, when the signal is transmitted through the delay device 28, the output terminal of the fifth inverter 48 will be maintained at a low potential. Therefore, if the MOS diode 38 is not used, the pull-down current of the fifth inverter 48 will compete with the GVFPUL circuit 32 (via the first PM0s 68 and the third PM0S 70 to Vdd). Furthermore, since the M0s diode 38 is composed of an M 0 S element, the M0S diode will only be made when the level of the contact 72 is lower than Vth by the fifth inverter 48. The body 38 appears conductive. In other words, before the current signal passes through the delay device 28,

Description of the invention (10) All the bodies 38 will be cut-off, which effectively eliminates the current competition that may occur between the fifth inverter 48 and the GVFPUL circuit 32. Subsequently, when the level of the current I rises from a low potential to a high potential again, the contact 36 will also rise from a low potential to a high potential, and re-conduct the second NMOS 42 to instantly lower the potential of the contact 72 again to Vss. At this time, the NM0S 40 will be turned off immediately, and Vss and the output terminal 6 will be disconnected. For example, the voltage level of the output terminal 16 can be switched on time to avoid causing a crowbar current. At the same time, since the voltage at the input terminal 14 is reduced from a high potential to a low potential, the third NMOS 60 will be turned off, and the first PMOS 58 is also turned off due to the voltage level of the contact 36. In this way, the coupling relationship between the fifth inverter 48 and the contact 72 will form an open circuit again, and block all paths that may cause leakage current. Next, reference is made to the corresponding drawing network 18 in the first figure. Its main elements also include a delay device 128, a unidirectional switch 13 (), and a gate voltage feedback pull-up loop (gate voltage feedback pulup 100p,

Description of the invention (12) NM0S 170 is connected to contact 172. The gate of the sixth NMOS 170 is connected to the contact 136 to receive the signal output from the eighth inverter 134. In this way, when the voltage of contact 1 72 is sufficient to turn on the fourth PMOS 1 40, Vdd and 16 can be turned on.

當致能訊號OEN與電流I分別設定在Vss與Vdd的電壓位 準時’通過反及閘22與第八反向器134的訊號,會使接點 136具有高電位,而使第五pm〇S 1 4 2呈現關閉狀態。此 時,第四PMOS 140則處於導通的狀態,而使Vdd耦合至 1 6。接著’可將電流I由高電位降至低電位,以便位於拉 低網路20中的GVFPUL迴路32,會先將接點72的電壓位準拉 高至一預定值,再藉著延遲裝置28的作用,使接點72電壓 ,持於此預定值左右一段時間。然後,再將接點72電壓昇 高至vdd-vth。亦即,可藉著分段提高第一NM0S 4〇的閘極 電壓,而達成缓慢開啟第一NMOS 40的目的,並逐漸的導 通Vss與輸出端16,以提供較佳的轉換速率(slew rate)。 同枯間内,由於接點1 3 6之電壓由高電位降至低電位,When the enable signal OEN and the current I are set at the voltage levels of Vss and Vdd, respectively, the signals of the inverse gate 22 and the eighth inverter 134 will cause the contact 136 to have a high potential and the fifth pm0S. 1 4 2 is off. At this time, the fourth PMOS 140 is in a conducting state, and Vdd is coupled to 16. Then 'the current I can be reduced from a high potential to a low potential, so that the GVFPUL circuit 32 in the pull-down network 20 will first pull the voltage level of the contact 72 to a predetermined value, and then by the delay device 28 The function of the contact 72 keeps the voltage of the contact 72 at this predetermined value for a period of time. Then, increase the voltage at contact 72 to vdd-vth. That is, by gradually increasing the gate voltage of the first NMOS 40, the purpose of slowly turning on the first NMOS 40 can be achieved, and Vss and the output terminal 16 can be gradually turned on to provide a better slew rate. ). In the same dry room, because the voltage of contact 1 3 6 drops from high potential to low potential,

疋以會導通第五PMOS 142而使接點172瞬間具有Vdd的電 位。此時,第四PMOS 140會立即關閉而使Vdd與輸出端16 呈現斷路。 心後’當要重新拉咼輸出端16的電位至vdd時,可將 電流I的位準由低電位上昇至高電位。此時,接點136亦會 由低電位上昇至高電位,以關閉第五PM〇s 142並導通第二Therefore, the fifth PMOS 142 is turned on so that the contact 172 has the potential of Vdd in an instant. At this time, the fourth PMOS 140 is immediately turned off, so that Vdd and the output terminal 16 are disconnected. After the heart ’, when the potential of the output terminal 16 is to be pulled to vdd again, the level of the current I may be raised from a low potential to a high potential. At this time, the contact 136 will also rise from a low potential to a high potential to turn off the fifth PM0s 142 and turn on the second

NM0S 170而啟動GVFPUL迴路132。此外,由於在第五PM0S 1 42關閉時,接點1 72處具有高電位,是以可經由第十三反 向器164、第十二反向器162而讓第五NMOS 168的閘極, 亦維持在高電位。此時,第五NM0S 168與第六NM0S 170皆 導通,而降低接點1 7 2的電位。由於電流I具有高位準,是 以在第八反向器134輸出端(接點136)的電流亦具有高位 準,而可導通第四NMOS 160。相反的,在輸入端12的電流 則具有低位準,而可導通第六PMOS 158。換言之,當電流 I處在高位準時,單向開關1 3 0會開啟,而使接點1 7 2與第 十一反向器148的輸出端耦合。同時,通過接點136的電 流,亦會陸續經過第九反向器144、MOS電容器150、第 十反向器146、MOS電容器152等延遲裝置128,而產生一 延遲效果。如此一來,當第十一反向器148輸出端的電壓 位準,因訊號延遲而尚未下降時,接點n2的電位將維持 在此預定值附近一段時間。直到接點156接收到由低電位 上昇至高電位的電流,且經過第十一反向器148的電流由 高電位下降至可導通MOS二極體138時,才會再拉低接點 1 7 2的電位。 與上述相同的,此處單向開關丨3 〇的設計,亦用以避 免GVFPUL迴路132與延遲裝置128間產生訊號競爭。至於 MOS二極體138的設計,則在確保GVFpUL迴路132可以祇 低接點172的電位。其中·,由於在訊號經過延遲裝置⑶ 遞的呀候,第十一反向器1 48的輸出端將維持在高電位。The NMOS 170 activates the GVFPUL circuit 132. In addition, when the fifth PM0S 1 42 is closed, the contact 1 72 has a high potential, so that the gate of the fifth NMOS 168 can be passed through the thirteenth inverter 164 and the twelfth inverter 162. Also maintained at a high potential. At this time, both the fifth NMOS 168 and the sixth NMOS 170 are turned on, and the potential of the contact 172 is lowered. Since the current I has a high level, the current at the output terminal (contact 136) of the eighth inverter 134 also has a high level, and the fourth NMOS 160 can be turned on. In contrast, the current at the input terminal 12 has a low level and can turn on the sixth PMOS 158. In other words, when the current I is at a high level, the one-way switch 130 is turned on, and the contact 17 2 is coupled to the output terminal of the eleventh inverter 148. At the same time, the current passing through the contact 136 will also pass through the delay devices 128, such as the ninth inverter 144, the MOS capacitor 150, the tenth inverter 146, and the MOS capacitor 152, to produce a delay effect. In this way, when the voltage level at the output terminal of the eleventh inverter 148 has not fallen due to the signal delay, the potential of the contact n2 will be maintained near this predetermined value for a period of time. Until the contact 156 receives a current rising from a low potential to a high potential, and the current passing through the eleventh inverter 148 decreases from a high potential to a conductive MOS diode 138, the contact will be pulled down again 1 7 2 The potential. Similar to the above, the design of the unidirectional switch 315 here is also used to avoid signal competition between the GVFPUL loop 132 and the delay device 128. As for the design of the MOS diode 138, it is ensured that the GVFpUL circuit 132 can only lower the potential of the contact 172. Among them, as the signal is passed through the delay device ⑶, the output terminal of the eleventh inverter 148 will be maintained at a high potential.

Description of the invention (14) So if the M0S diode 138 is not used, the low current of the eleventh inverter 148 will be connected to the GVFPUL circuit 132 (via Fili 0S 168, sixth NM0S 170 to Vss)). Furthermore, since the MOS diode 1 38 is composed of a MOS element, it is only used when the level of the contact 72 is higher than Vth by the eleventh inverter 148. The diode 138 is turned on. In other words, before the current signal passes through the delay device 28, the MOS diodes 1 38 will be open, and the current competition between the eleventh inverter 148 and the GVFPUL circuit 132 can be effectively eliminated. Please refer to the second figure, which shows the case where the GVFPUL circuit 32 is used to control the first NMOS 40 gate voltage in the pull-down network 20 of the present invention. Among them, the horizontal axis represents the entire operating time of 10, and the vertical axis represents the gate voltage of the: NMOS 40, and the curve a in the figure is the gate voltage. Assuming that the output terminal 16 has a high potential of 3.3 V at an operating time of 30 ns, as described above, the current I can be raised from a low potential to a high potential. In this way, the GVFPUL circuit 32 will pull the voltage of the contact 72 to about 30.3 ns. In addition, the voltage of the contact 72 rises, so that the GVFpuL circuit 32 = circuit. At this time, '帛 -question 40 will slowly turn on the Vss and the voltage, and' f 'because the GVFPUL circuit 32 appears to be open circuit, and is maintained at ... about-by the electrical delay device 28 of the contact 72. The direct current was raised to two minutes before the output terminal level of the fifth inverter 48 was switched from a low potential to the one-way switch. The voltage of the contact 72 was used. Among them, 'Because the starting σ I of the MoS diode 38, 々 is 0.6V, so that the potential of the contact 72 can be pulled up to 479408. 5. Description of the invention (15) 3 · 3-0 · 6 = 2 · 7ν. At the same time, Vss and 16 are completely turned on. It should be particularly noted that in the embodiment provided by the present invention, whether in the pull-down network 20 or the pull-up network 18, only one GVFPUL loop 32 and 132 is used to control the first NMOS 40, the first Four PM0S 140 gate voltages to turn on the load at output 16. However, for those skilled in the art, it can be easily known that in order to further make the gate voltages of the first NMOS 40 and the fourth PMOS 140 have a smoother and slower waveform, the number of GVFPUL circuits can be increased. By using a plurality of GVFPUL circuits, the gate voltage can be increased step by step, and the load on the output terminal 6 can be gradually increased. In this way, the purpose of controlling the slew rate can be effectively achieved by adjusting the gate voltages of the first NMOS 40 and the fourth pMOS 140. In addition, as mentioned above, when the pull-down network 20 is gradually turned on, the pull-up network 18 will immediately open the fourth pM0s 14 to prevent a huge short-circuit current during switching. As the pull-up of the network 2 0 gradually turns on, the pull-down of the network 20 will also immediately turn off the first NMOS 40, so that the short-circuit current during switching can be effectively avoided. The above is to make the scope of the present invention with better practice, and it is well known to make slight changes and adjustments, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The examples illustrate the present invention in detail, and those who are not limited to this technique can also understand. Without losing the gist of the present invention,
