Description of the Invention: [Technical Jaw Domain of the Invention] The present invention relates to a driver, and more particularly to an output stage circuit for a driver for a capacitive 'sexual load. [Prior Art] Power MOS and IGBT require a driver to be driven. For example, in the circuit of the power factor corrector wafer 10 of ST company model L6561 illustrated in Figure 1, the totem 枉 output stage is capable of supplying and sinking a large current to drive a power MOS 12. Since the gate of the power MOS 12 has a large parasitic capacitance 122, the totem pole output stage uses a bipolar transistor 102, which supplies a large current to the gate of the power MOS 12 after it is turned on, thereby rapidly pulling up. The voltage on the gate. In order for the bipolar transistor 102 to supply a large current instantaneously, a high drive capability voltage regulator 104 is required to supply the power source Vcc to the driver φ 106 of the bipolar transistor 102. Although the bipolar transistor 102 can draw a large current directly from the power supply Vp, at the moment it is turned on, since its driver 106 uses the internal supply voltage Vcc in the power factor corrector 10, an instantaneous large current will pull down. Voltage Vcc. This supply voltage Vcc is generated by the system voltage conversion provided by the voltage regulator 106 from the power supply Vp, and is used to supply the power of the logic circuit in the power factor corrector 10, which may be much lower than the system voltage Vp. In many power applications, the system voltage Vp is a high voltage (e.g., 12V or higher) and the internal supply voltage Vcc is a low voltage (e.g., 5V or lower). At the moment of 1338443 when the bipolar transistor 102 is turned on, the supply of a large current causes the internal supply voltage Vcc to immediately fall, resulting in unstable operation of the circuit using the internal supply voltage Vcc. On the other hand, in order to reduce costs and integrate circuits, current control circuits tend to be implemented in 'CMOS processes. However, in the power factor corrector 10^ of Fig. 1, in order to provide a large current supply capability, a bipolar transistor 102 is used, so that the wafer 10 must be implemented in a BiCMOS process. BiCMOS technology is difficult, yield is low, and cost is high, which is not good for wafer designers. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION One object of the present invention is to provide a driver having a large current supply capability without causing an instantaneous drop in the internal supply voltage. One of the objects of the present invention is to provide an output stage circuit suitable for a driver implemented in full CMOS. According to the present invention, an output stage circuit of a driver uses a PMOS φ as a high-side transistor, and after it is turned on, draws a current from a power supply to charge the output of the driver, and quickly pulls up the output of the driver. Voltage. A PMOS control circuit is used to control the PMOS, the PMOS control circuit is triggered by a control signal to turn on the PMOS, and a voltage comparator stops the PMOS control circuit when the voltage at the output of the driver rises to a threshold voltage. The PMOS. [Embodiment]

Since the characteristics of the PMOS are turned off when the gate/source voltage is lower than a threshold voltage, and turned on when the gate_source voltage is greater than the threshold voltage, the PMOS 142 driving the PMOS 14 can directly connect the system voltage VP ' An internal supply voltage is required. In this way, not only can the PMOS 14 be switched quickly, but the internal supply voltage is not affected at the moment when the PMOS 14 is turned on or off. Figure 3 is an output stage of a drive in accordance with the present invention. In the embodiment, the high side transistor 14 uses a PMOS, and the low side transistor 丨 6 uses an NMOS. The control signal generator 20 generates control signals II and 12 based on the input signal I for controlling the PMOS 14 and the NMOS 16, respectively. Control signal 12 is used directly to switch NMOS 16. The PMOS control circuit 30 uses the system voltage Vp to push 'which is triggered by the control signal π to turn on the PMOS 14 with the signal a. Since the PMOS control circuit 30 that drives the PMOS 14 is directly connected to the power supply thief Vp, and the internal resistance of the power supply Vp is low, the PMOS 14 suddenly draws a large current without affecting the internals provided to other control φ circuits. Supply voltage. After the PMOS 14 is turned on, it directly charges the gate of the power m〇s 12 from the power supply Vp without taking a large current. The voltage comparator 40 monitors the voltage v〇 at the output of the driver. When the voltage Vo rises to the threshold voltage VSET, the voltage comparator 4 signals the PMOS control circuit 30 to turn off the PMOS 14 by the signals Βί and B2. The threshold voltage VSET is a voltage that is preset to the turn-on power M〇S 12 and can be adjusted to determine the operating point at which the PMOS 14 is turned off. After NM〇s丨6 is turned on, the charge is discharged from the gate of the power MOS 12 to the ground GND. Preferably, a resistor 1338443 R〇 for leakage is connected to the output of the driver, so that the voltage Vo is slowly lowered while the PMOS 14 and the NMOS 16 are not conducting. In other embodiments, the leakage current of the NMOS 16 itself may be separately released to slowly release the charge on the gate of the power MOS 12. Figure 4 is a method of controlling the output stage of Figure 3. The input signal I is a switching signal from which the control signal generator 20 generates control signals II and 12 which do not overlap each other. The rising edge of the control signal II triggers the output signal A of the PMOS control circuit 30, thereby turning on the PMOS 14, pulling up the output terminal voltage Vo. Once the voltage Vo rises to the threshold voltage VSET, the output signals B1 and B2 of the voltage comparator 40 are triggered to cause the PMOS control circuit 30 to turn off the PMOS 14. After the PMOS 14 is turned off, before the NMOS 16 has not been turned on, the voltage Vo during this period is slowly lowered due to leakage. Until the rising edge of the control signal 12 is triggered, the NMOS 16 is turned on and the voltage Vo drops rapidly to zero. The rising edge of the next cycle control signal II is triggered again, repeating the above process. As shown by signal A, during a switching cycle, the PMOS 14 is turned on only for a short period of φ immediately after being turned on. During this period, a large current is supplied to charge the gate of the power MOS 12, and the gate is quickly pulled up. The power MOS 12 is turned on with a pole voltage. The PMOS 14 is turned off most of the time, so it saves power and avoids the chance of a short circuit. After the PMOS 14 is turned off, before the NMOS 16 is turned on, the power MOS 12 is kept turned on by the voltage Vo on the gate. Figure 5 is an embodiment of the output stage of Figure 3, wherein transistors P1-P3 are PMOS, transistors N1-N6 and transistor 16 are NMOS. The signal shown in FIG. 4 illustrates its working mode. The input signal I is a switching 1338443 type signal, and the control signal generator 20 generates control signals II and 12 therefrom, and the two strings of logic gates therein make the control signals II and 12 not overlapping. During the period when the control signal is low, the transistor N1 is not turned on, so the signal A is maintained at a high level and the PMOS 14 is turned off. During the high level of the control signal 12, the NMOS 16 is kept in an on state, so the voltage Vo is at a low level and the power MOS 12 is turned off. The transistors N4, P3, N5 and N6 are not turned on, and the current sources 306 and 406 respectively charge the nodes 402 and 404. Therefore, the signals B1 and B2 are at a high level, the transistor P1 is not turned on, and the transistor N2 is turned on. When the input signal I is switched from the low level to the high level, the control signal 12 is first switched to the low level to turn off the NMOS 16 and then the control signal II is switched from the low level to the high level, thus ensuring the PMOS 14 and The NMOS 16 does not turn on at the same time. After the control signal II is switched to the high level, the transistor N1 is turned on, because the transistor N2 is turned on, so that a discharge path is formed to discharge the charge of the node 302 to the ground, causing the signal A to switch to the low level, so that Turning on the PMOS 14, the system power supply Vp charges the gate of the power MOS 12 via the φ PMOS 14, causing the voltage Vo to rise. Once the voltage Vo rises to the threshold voltage VSET, the transistors N4, P3, N5, N6 are turned on, the voltages on the nodes 402 and 404 are pulled low, and the signals B1 and B2 are switched to the low level, thereby turning off the transistor N2, previously The discharge path is cut off, while transistor P1 is also turned on, node 302 is again charged, and signal A thus switches back to the high level to turn off PMOS 14. Since the NMOS 16 has not been turned on, the voltage Vo is maintained by the parasitic capacitance 122 of the power MOS 12, but is slowly lowered due to the leakage of the resistor Ro. When the input signal I is switched from the high level to the low level, the control 1338443 signal II first switches to the low level, turns off the transistor N1, ensures that there is no discharge path at the node eight, the PMOS 14 will not be turned on, and then the control signal 12 Switch from low level to high level, turn on NMOS 16, voltage v〇 is quickly discharged to ground potential, and also make transistors N4, P3, N5 and N6 off 'the voltages on nodes 402 and 404 are charged to the system The voltage vp is the same, the signals B1 and B2 return to the high level, and the transistor P1 is turned off, and the transistor N2 is turned on, waiting for the next state of the input signal. When the voltage Vo is higher than the threshold voltage VsET, the PM 〇S 14 is non-conducting. Therefore, it has a protection function of automatic braking, and even if the control circuit is in a state, the power MOS 12 is not continuously charged and the component is burnt. The PMOS 14 and the NMOS 16 are not turned on at the same time, so no current will flow directly from the power supply Vp through the output stage to the ground GND, which not only saves power but also avoids the possibility of short circuit. 6 is a second embodiment of the output stage of FIG. 3 in which the components at the current sources 304, 306, and 406 of FIG. 5 are each multiplexed with PMOS φ switches 314, 316, 412. Figure 7 is a third embodiment of the output stage of Figure 3. If the system voltage Vp is higher than the operating voltage Vcc of the control circuit (logic gate), the level shifting circuit 50 is used to translate the high level of the signal A to be sufficient to turn off the PMOS 14 . FIG. 8 is the output stage of FIG. In the four embodiments, the differential amplifier circuit 60 composed of a current source 匕 and NMOS transistors N7 and N8 is used as a voltage comparator. When the input signal I is low, the control signal generator generates a control signal Π low, 12 high 'transistor N7 OFF and the transistor 16 is turned on, and the output 1338443 voltage Vo is low, so that the transistor N8 is also OFF, the level shifting circuit 50 and the current The source Is causes the signals B1 and A to be equal to the system power supply vP and the transistor 14 off. When the input signal I goes from low to high, the control signal ^ high (howling and 12 low (0V) 'the transistor 导7 is turned on' the voltage of the node Α is quickly pulled down, and the transistor 14 is turned on' causes the output voltage v 〇 to rise, The transistor N8 is turned on. As the output voltage Vo rises, the current flowing through the transistor N8 becomes larger and larger. 'When the current flowing through the transistor N8 is greater than the current supplied by the current source ls, the voltage of the node B1 will be from the system. The voltage vP starts to fall, and thus the transistor P1 is gradually turned on. After the output voltage Vo rises to a certain extent, the current flowing from the transistor P1 will be larger than the current flowing through the transistor N7, and the voltage of the node A is raised again. When the system power supply Vp is at the level, the transistor 14 is OFF' and the transistor 16 is still OFF, the output voltage Vo stops rising and remains at the high level. When the input signal I turns from high to low level, the control signal II Low, 12 rises to high (Vcc), transistor N7 OFF and transistor 16 turns on, output voltage Vo drops to 〇V. φ Figure 9 is a fifth embodiment of the output stage of Figure 3, the current in Figure 8. Source Is is based on transistors P4, P5, N9 and R2 In addition, since the transistors N7 and N8 still consume current when the output voltage Vo is maintained at a constant voltage, the present embodiment further sets a pulse generator 75 and transistors N10 and N1 to control the signal from low to high. When the pulse generator 75 sends a fixed time wide signal, the transistors N10 and Nil are turned on, so that the transistors N7 and N8 operate as illustrated in FIG. 8. After a period of time, the transistors N10 and N11 are then worn. In order to reduce the current loss, since the output stage circuit uses all MOS components, the driver can be implemented in CMOS process with 1388443. In addition, _ is used, so the high-drive high-transistor source is not required. The overall circuit is also stable.
