In the general CMOS process, the gate oxide layer may have a breakdown phenomenon within 7 ~ ”, so it cannot be used in a voltage environment of 8 ~ 12 ¥. Therefore, a high-voltage process is required to manufacture liquid crystal displays. However, in order to avoid the cost of developing a new process, US Patent Nos. 5, 5 78, 957 and 5, 510; 748, etc., disclose an "Integrated Circuit Having Different Power Supplies for

Then, the digital signals adjusted by the shifters 46 and 50 are adjusted to the DAC circuits 54 and 68, respectively, and the analog signals 62 and 76 corresponding to t are converted. Among them, the analog signal 62 is a voltage range between W + 6V " ~ + 12V, and the analog signal 76 is a voltage range between 0v ~ + 6v.

第 路64便根據控制信號ENH和ENL, 輸出緩衝電路64之詳細電路即如 五、發明說明(3) 因此,輸岀緩衝電 k號6 3和7 8進行選取。 2圖所示。 貫際上’輸出緩衝電路64就如同多工器 (multiplexer)般,用以對S/H電路5 6和70輸出之類比信號 63 = 78進行選取。如第2圖所示,類比信號63及於一PMOS 電晶體136之源極端,此PM〇s電晶體136之閘極經信號ENH 所控制,而以汲極端與另一pM〇s電晶體14〇之源極連接成 一電路節點A。PMOS電晶體1 40’之閘極用以接收vss2,而以 沒極端耦接輸出端6 6。The 64th circuit is based on the control signals ENH and ENL. The detailed circuit of the output buffer circuit 64 is as described in V. Invention Description (3) Therefore, the input buffer circuits k 6 3 and 7 8 are selected. Figure 2 shows. In general, the 'output buffer circuit 64 is like a multiplexer, and is used to select the analog signals 63 = 78 output by the S / H circuits 56 and 70. As shown in Figure 2, the analog signal 63 is at the source terminal of a PMOS transistor 136. The gate of the PMMOS transistor 136 is controlled by the signal ENH, and the drain terminal is connected to another pMOS transistor 14 The source of 〇 is connected to a circuit node A. The gate of the PMOS transistor 1 40 'is used to receive vss2, and the output terminal 6 6 is not coupled to the output terminal.
當控制信號ENH為低準位(也就是VSS2)時,PMOS電晶體I 136開啟導通,故將信號63耦合至電路節點a。由於ρΜ〇§ ^ | 晶體140亦呈開啟導通狀態,故又將信號63自電路節點a ^ 合至輸出端66。由於信號63係於VSS2〜VDI>2之電壓範圍内做_ 變動’故只要位元信號1 26為高準位時,輸出端66之輸出 信號便得以在相同的電壓範圍内做變動。 再如第2圖所示,類比信號78及於一.〇s電晶體142之 汲極端,此NMOS電晶體1 42之閘極經信號ENL所控制,而以 源極端與另一NM〇S電晶體丨46之汲極連接成一電路節點β。 NMOS電晶體1 46之閘極兩以接收V則,而以源極端輕接輪 | 端66 。 別出 當控制信號ENL為高準位(也就是VDD1)時,NMOS電晶體 1 4 2開啟導通,故將信號7 8 I禹合至電路節點B。由於隨q g雷 晶體1 46亦呈開啟導通狀態,故又將信號78自電路節點R ^ 530278When the control signal ENH is at a low level (ie, VSS2), the PMOS transistor I 136 is turned on, so the signal 63 is coupled to the circuit node a. Since pM0§ ^ | crystal 140 is also turned on, the signal 63 is coupled from the circuit node a to the output terminal 66 again. Since the signal 63 is changed within the voltage range of VSS2 ~ VDI > 2, as long as the bit signal 1 26 is at a high level, the output signal of the output terminal 66 can be changed within the same voltage range. As shown in FIG. 2, the analog signal 78 and the drain terminal of the 1.0 transistor 142 are controlled. The gate of the NMOS transistor 1 42 is controlled by the signal ENL, and the source terminal is connected to another NMOS transistor. The drain of the crystal 46 is connected to a circuit node β. The NMOS transistor 1 46 has two gates to receive V, and the source is extremely lightly connected to the wheel | terminal 66. When the control signal ENL is at a high level (ie, VDD1), the NMOS transistor 1 4 2 is turned on, so the signal 7 8 I is connected to the circuit node B. Since the crystal 1 46 is also turned on with the q g thunder, the signal 78 is sent from the circuit node R ^ 530278 again.
: 〜出端66。由於信號78係於VSS1〜VDD1之電壓範圍内做 ^’故只要位元信號丨2 6為低準位時,輸出端6 6之輸出 化號便得以在相同的電壓範圍内做變動。 據此,當輸出端66電位因NM0S電晶體146之導通趨向 VSS1電位時,PM0S電晶體136成關斷狀態,而pM〇s電晶體 140卻可以使節點A處之電位不低於^以,確保pM〇s電晶體 1曰36之閘-源極、或閘—汲極間壓降不超過6V,因而保護電 a曰體1 3 6之閘極氧化層不致發生崩潰現象。同理,當輸出 端66電位因PM0S電晶體丨4〇之導通趨向電位時,關〇s電 晶體142成關斷狀態,而NM0S電晶體146卻可以使節點8處 之電位不高於VDD1,確保NM0S電晶體142之閘-汲極、閘一^ 極間壓降不超過6V,因而保護NMOS電晶體142之閘極氧化 層不致發生崩潰現象。 乳化 /然而,美國專利第5,578,95 7號及第5,5i〇,748號之榦 出緩衝電路64需根據控制信號ENH和ENL做控制的方式,= 於類比輸出端做切換控制,此舉恐會劣化操作頻率1再“ ^,為兼顧類比信號輸出頻寬與高電壓操作,晶方面積必 定不能太小,因此又會增加晶方面積。、 因此,本發明之一目的 在於提供一種可增加輸出電: ~ Out 66. Since the signal 78 is performed within the voltage range of VSS1 to VDD1, as long as the bit signal 丨 26 is at a low level, the output number of the output terminal 6 6 can be changed within the same voltage range. According to this, when the potential of the output terminal 66 approaches the VSS1 potential due to the conduction of the NMOS transistor 146, the PM0S transistor 136 is turned off, while the pMOS transistor 140 can make the potential at node A not lower than ^, Ensure that the gate-source, or gate-drain voltage drop of pM0s transistor 36 does not exceed 6V, thus protecting the gate oxide layer of the transistor 1 36 from breakdown. Similarly, when the potential of the output terminal 66 approaches the potential due to the conduction of the PM0S transistor, the transistor 142 is turned off, and the transistor 146 of NM0 can make the potential at node 8 not higher than VDD1. Ensure that the gate-drain and gate-to-gate voltage drops of the NMOS transistor 142 do not exceed 6V, thereby protecting the gate oxide layer of the NMOS transistor 142 from collapse. Emulsification / However, the dry-out buffer circuit 64 of US Patent Nos. 5,578,95 7 and 5,5i0,748 need to be controlled according to the control signals ENH and ENL. = Switching control is performed at the analog output. The operating frequency 1 may be degraded again. In order to take into account the analog signal output bandwidth and high voltage operation, the crystal area product must not be too small, so the crystal area product will increase. Therefore, one object of the present invention is to provide a Increase output power

In addition, when the selection signal υ / ρ is at a low level | bit, the DAC circuit 1 2 converts the digital code representing VSS2 into an analog vss2 predetermined voltage output, or makes the output of the DAC circuit 1 2 appear to be floating. ° The parts of the S / 和 circuits 13 and 23 and the output buffer circuit 3 are the same as those in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, and will not be described again. Fig. 5 is a block diagram showing a still another preferred embodiment of the present invention. Among them, those with the same symbol in Figure 3 represent the same or corresponding parts. In this embodiment, the selection signal U / D is directly applied to the DAC circuits 12 and 22. If the selection signal U / D is at a high level, the Behr DAC circuit 12 will convert the digital code 14 into the corresponding analog signal 16, and the output 9 of the DAC circuit 22 will output a predetermined voltage of VDD1 or it will float. status. If the selection signal \ / D is at a low level, the output port of the AC circuit 12 will output a predetermined voltage or it will be in a floating state, and the DAC circuit 22 will convert the digital code 24 into a corresponding analog signal 26. . As for the control method of the selection signal u / D, it can be toggled. ^ According to the above embodiments, the output buffer circuit 3 can be simplified, as will be described in detail below. Please refer to Figure 6 for details of DA (3, 4 or 5) of circuit DA (: Circuit 12 round buffer circuit 3, S / H circuit has been omitted in the figure. In Figure 6, Analog signal π /% and a circuit node c at the source / drain terminal of a pM0s transistor. The ~~ pole of this PM0s transistor is used for 530278. 5. Description of the invention (12) ----- receiving vSS2 voltage And another source / sink terminal is coupled to the output terminal 30. In addition, the analog signal 26 / VDD1 and a source terminal of one NMOS transistor 32 form a node D, and the gate of the NMOS transistor 32 It is used to receive 0 thanks, and the other source / sink terminal is coupled to the output terminal 30. When the selection signal U / D is at a high level, the DAC circuit 12 converts the digital | 14 (Figures 3 and 5) or 18 (Figure 4) is converted into the corresponding analog signal 丨 ^! Out: At this time, the analog signal 16 is higher than the Vsss voltage, so that the PM31 transistor 31 is turned on, and the analog signal 16 is coupled to the PM0S transistor 31 The output terminal 30. Therefore, the voltage at the output terminal 30 is higher than the Vddi voltage. If the DAC circuit 22 outputs a predetermined voltage of vDD1, the 1 of the transistor 32 (equal to the voltage and the voltage of vDD1 is reduced) is Zero, so the NMOS transistor 32 is turned off. If 一, the output port of the DAC circuit 22 is floating, the output port of the DAC circuit 22 will be | at most it will be charged to VDD1-Vtn (the threshold of the NMOS transistor 32 Voltage), and thus turn off the NMOS transistor 32. Therefore, even if the potential of the output terminal 30 approaches the VDD2 potential due to the conduction of the PMOS transistor 31, the node d will not be higher than 7 to ensure that the NM0s voltage The gate-drain or gate-source voltage drop of the crystal does not exceed 6V, thus protecting the gate oxide layer of the NMOS transistor 32 from breakdown and destruction. When the selection signal U / D is at a low level, The DAC circuit 22 will convert the digital code 24 (Figures 3 and 5) or 28 (Figure 4) into the corresponding analog signal 26. At this time, the analog signal 26 is lower than the vDD1 voltage, so NM0s The transistor 32 is turned on, and the analog signal 26 is coupled to the output terminal 30 through the NMOS transistor 32. Therefore, the voltage at the wheel output terminal 30 is lower than the VsS2 voltage. If the DAC circuit 12 outputs a predetermined voltage of VSS2, the PMOS transistor is used. 31 ^ (equal to Vss2 voltage 530278 V. Invention description (13) minus VSS2 voltage) is zero, so PM0S transistor The body 31 is in a closed state. If the output port of the DAC circuit 12 is in a floating state, the wheel output of the DAC circuit 12 is at most discharged to a voltage value of VSS2 + Vtp (the critical voltage of the PM0S transistor 31), and then closed. PM0S transistor 31. Accordingly, even if the potential of the output terminal 30 approaches the VSS1 potential due to the conduction of the NM0S transistor 32, the node C will not fall below VSS2 to ensure the gate-drain or gate-source of the PM0S transistor 31 The inter-voltage drop does not exceed 6V, thus protecting the gate oxide layer of the pMOS transistor 32 from breakdown and destruction. Furthermore, when the DAC circuits 12 and 22 output a predetermined voltage, they are not limited to and VDD1. The predetermined voltage output by the DAC circuit 12 may be in a range between (vss2 + 丨 VTp I) and VSS2, and VTP represents a threshold voltage of the PM0S transistor 31; and the predetermined voltage output by the DAC circuit 22 may be In the range between (VDD1-VTN) and VDD1, Vtn represents the threshold voltage of question 0s and transistor 32. In addition, 'the potential difference between analog signal 16 and VSS2 can be greater than the threshold voltage of an transistor' analogy The potential difference between the signal 26 and the threshold voltage of a transistor can also be greater than the threshold voltage of a transistor. In summary, the circuit that can increase the output voltage range according to the present invention is a switching control at the DAC circuit, which is a digital control method, so there is no The problem of operating frequency degradation can also be designed with the smallest process size, which reduces the overall crystal cube's need for area. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention: any familiarity Those skilled in the art can change and moisturize the stomach without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be
