因此,當該第三開關211及該第四開關212導通時,該第三反相開關213及該第四反相開關214不導通,此時,由該第三開關211的第二端輸出該第一致能電壓,且由該第四開關212的第二端輸出該第二致能電壓,以形成該指示致能的第二充電控制信號。而當該第三反相開關213及第四反相開關214導通時,該第三開關211及該第四開關212不導通,此時,由該第三反相開關213的第二端輸出該第一工作偏壓,由該第四反相開關214的第二端輸出該第二工作偏壓,以形成該指示去能的第二充電控制信號。 Therefore, when the third switch 211 and the fourth switch 212 are turned on, the third inverting switch 213 and the fourth inverting switch 214 are not turned on. At this time, the second end of the third switch 211 outputs the The first uniform energy voltage is outputted by the second end of the fourth switch 212 to form the second charging control signal indicating the enable. When the third inverting switch 213 and the fourth inverting switch 214 are turned on, the third switch 211 and the fourth switch 212 are not turned on. At this time, the second end of the third inverting switch 213 outputs the The first working bias voltage is outputted by the second end of the fourth inverting switch 214 to form the second charging control signal indicating the de-energization.

Pull up current. In this example, the second buffer unit 22 includes a third transistor 221 and a fourth transistor 222. The detailed components of the second buffer unit 22 will be described below one by one.

當該第三電晶體221的控制端接收來自該第三開關211的第一致能電壓,且當該第四電晶體222的控制端接收來自該第四開關212的第二致能電壓時,由該第三電晶體221的第二端輸出該第二上拉電流。而當該第三電晶體221的控制端接收來自該第三開關211的第一工作偏壓,且當該第四電晶體222的控制端接收來自該第四開關212的第二工作偏壓,而該第三電晶體221的第二端則不輸出該第二上拉電流。 When the control terminal of the third transistor 221 receives the first enable voltage from the third switch 211, and when the control terminal of the fourth transistor 222 receives the second enable voltage from the fourth switch 212, The second pull-up current is outputted from the second end of the third transistor 221 . When the control terminal of the third transistor 221 receives the first operating bias from the third switch 211, and when the control terminal of the fourth transistor 222 receives the second operating bias from the fourth switch 212, The second terminal of the third transistor 221 does not output the second pull-up current.

參閱圖4並配合圖6,在本實施例中,當在一相關於該負載電容200處於該暫態的充電操作的第一充電時段時,該第一開關單元11與該第二開關單元21受控制輸出該指示致能的第二充電控制信號,以致於該第一輸出級1產生該第一上拉電流且該第二輸出級2產生該第二上拉電流,其中該第一上拉電流一部分流向該負載電容200,一部分流向該第二電晶體122,該第二上拉電流一部份流向該負載電容200,一部分流向該第四電晶體222,而該第一及第二上拉電流中共同流向該負載電容200的部份即作為一充電電流(如圖6中斜線部分)對該負載電容200充電。而當在一相關於該負載電容200處於該穩態的充電操作的第二充電時段時,該第二開關單元21受控制輸出該指示去能的第二充電控制信號,以致於該第二輸出級2不產生該第二上拉電流,而該第一輸出級1產生該第一上拉電流,且該第一上拉電流的一部份作為該充電電流對該負載電容200充電,一部份流向該第二電晶體122。 Referring to FIG. 4 and in conjunction with FIG. 6, in the embodiment, the first switching unit 11 and the second switching unit 21 are in a first charging period related to the charging operation of the load capacitor 200. Controlling the output of the second charging control signal that is enabled, such that the first output stage 1 generates the first pull-up current and the second output stage 2 generates the second pull-up current, wherein the first pull-up current a portion of the current flows to the load capacitor 200, a portion of which flows to the second transistor 122, a portion of the second pull-up current flows to the load capacitor 200, and a portion flows to the fourth transistor 222, and the first and second pull-ups The portion of the current that flows collectively to the load capacitor 200 charges the load capacitor 200 as a charging current (as shown by the hatched portion in FIG. 6). And when a second charging period in which the load capacitance 200 is in the steady state charging operation, the second switching unit 21 is controlled to output the second charging control signal indicating the deactivation, so that the second output Stage 2 does not generate the second pull-up current, and the first output stage 1 generates the first pull-up current, and a portion of the first pull-up current charges the load capacitor 200 as the charging current, one part The portion flows to the second transistor 122.

具體的實現方式及相關元件作動進一步說明如下:當在該第一充電時段時,該第一控制信號為邏輯1(該第一反相控制信號為邏輯0),該第二控制信號為邏輯1(該第二反相控制信號為邏輯0),此時,該第一開關單元11的該第一開關111及該第二開關112皆導通(該第一反相開關113與該第二反相開關114皆不導 通),且該第二開關單元21的該第三開關211及該第四開關212皆導通(該第三反相開關213與該第四反相開關214皆不導通),此時,該第一電晶體121的控制端所接收為該第一致能電壓,該第二電晶體122的控制端所接收為該第二致能電壓,該第三電晶體221的控制端所接收為該第一致能電壓,且該第四電晶體222的控制端所接收為該第二致能電壓。 The specific implementation and related component operations are further described as follows: when the first charging period is, the first control signal is logic 1 (the first inversion control signal is logic 0), and the second control signal is logic 1 The second inverting control signal is logic 0. At this time, the first switch 111 and the second switch 112 of the first switching unit 11 are both turned on (the first inverting switch 113 and the second inverting switch) Switch 114 is not guided And the third switch 211 and the fourth switch 212 of the second switch unit 21 are both turned on (the third inverting switch 213 and the fourth inverting switch 214 are not turned on), at this time, the first The control terminal of the transistor 121 receives the first enable voltage, and the control terminal of the second transistor 122 receives the second enable voltage. The control terminal of the third transistor 221 receives the first enable voltage. The voltage is consistent, and the control terminal of the fourth transistor 222 receives the second enable voltage.

如此,在該第一充電時段,該第一電晶體121、該第二電晶體122、該第三電晶體221及該第四電晶體222皆被致能,其中,該第一電晶體121的第一端對應地產生該第一上拉電流、並經由該第一電晶體121的第二端輸出,一部份作為該充電電流流向該負載電容200,另一部分流向該第二電晶體122的第二端。該第三電晶體221的第一端對應地產生該第二上拉電流並經由該第三電晶體221的第二端輸出,一部份作為該充電電流流向該負載電容200,另一部份作為一第二下拉電流流向該第四電晶體222的第二端。故,如圖6所示,在該負載電容200充電斜率陡峭而需要急遽電流的該第一充電時段,該第一輸出級1與該第二輸出級2分別輸出該第一上拉電流與該第二上拉電流的一部份作為該充電電流同時對該負載電容200充電,且4I為該第一及第二輸出級1、2的由 PMOS流向NMOS的電流值加總,而I為只有該第一輸出級1的由PMOS流向NMOS的電流值。 As such, in the first charging period, the first transistor 121, the second transistor 122, the third transistor 221, and the fourth transistor 222 are all enabled, wherein the first transistor 121 is The first end correspondingly generates the first pull-up current, and is outputted through the second end of the first transistor 121, a portion flows as the charging current to the load capacitor 200, and another portion flows to the second transistor 122. Second end. The first end of the third transistor 221 correspondingly generates the second pull-up current and outputs through the second end of the third transistor 221, and a portion flows as the charging current to the load capacitor 200, and the other portion As a second pull-down current flows to the second end of the fourth transistor 222. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, in the first charging period in which the charging capacitor 200 has a steep charging slope and requires an emergency current, the first output stage 1 and the second output stage 2 respectively output the first pull-up current and the A portion of the second pull-up current charges the load capacitor 200 as the charging current, and 4I is the first and second output stages 1, 2 The current value of the PMOS flowing to the NMOS is summed, and I is the current value of only the first output stage 1 flowing from the PMOS to the NMOS.

當在該第二充電時段時,該第一控制信號為邏輯1(該第一反相控制信號為邏輯0),該第二控制信號為邏輯0(該第二反相控制信號為邏輯1),此時,該第一開關單元11的該第一開關111及該第二開關112皆導通(該第一反相開關113與該第二反相開關114皆不導通),且該第二開關單元21的該第三反相開關213及該第四反相開關214皆導通(該第三開關211與該第四開關212皆不導通),此時,該第一電晶體121的控制端所接收為該第一致能電壓,該第二電晶體122的控制端所接收為該第二致能電壓,該第三電晶體221的控制端所接收為該第一工作偏壓,且該第四電晶體222的控制端所接收為該第二工作偏壓。如此,在該第二充電時段,只有該第一電晶體121與該第二電晶體122被致能,該第三電晶體221與該第四電晶體222皆被去能,因此,在該負載電容200充電斜率緩和而達到穩態充電的該第二充電時段,該第二輸出級2被關閉,只有該第一輸出級1對該負載電容200充電,而藉此達到省電之效。 When in the second charging period, the first control signal is logic 1 (the first inversion control signal is logic 0), and the second control signal is logic 0 (the second inversion control signal is logic 1) At this time, the first switch 111 and the second switch 112 of the first switch unit 11 are both turned on (the first inverting switch 113 and the second inverting switch 114 are not turned on), and the second switch The third inverting switch 213 and the fourth inverting switch 214 of the unit 21 are both turned on (the third switch 211 and the fourth switch 212 are not turned on), and at this time, the control end of the first transistor 121 Receiving the first enable voltage, the control terminal of the second transistor 122 receives the second enable voltage, the control terminal of the third transistor 221 receives the first operational bias, and the first The second operational bias is received by the control terminal of the quad transistor 222. As such, in the second charging period, only the first transistor 121 and the second transistor 122 are enabled, and the third transistor 221 and the fourth transistor 222 are both disabled, and therefore, at the load. The charging slope of the capacitor 200 is moderated to reach the second charging period of steady state charging, and the second output stage 2 is turned off, and only the first output stage 1 charges the load capacitor 200, thereby achieving power saving effect.

進一步地,本發明低功率源極驅動電路可藉由控制該第一輸出級1的第一電晶體121相對於該第二電晶體122的一第一並聯個數比,小於該第二輸出級2的該第三電晶體221相對於該第 四電晶體222的一第二並聯個數比,進一步控制在該第二充電時段時,該第一上拉電流與該第二上拉電流分別占該第一輸出級1與該第二輸出級2之總輸出電流的比例。舉例來說,藉由設計該第一並聯個數比為2:1,且該第二並聯個數比為6:3時,即可使該第一上拉電流占該第一輸出級1與該第二輸出級2之總輸出電流的大約四分之一,該第二上拉電流占大約四分之三,因此如圖6所示,在該第二充電時段,只有該第一輸出級11產生該第一上拉電流,因此僅剩下約四分之一的電流消耗,也就是說,該源極驅動電路的驅動力只需25%,如此,能夠有效地降低源極驅動電路的電流超過50%。 Further, the low-power source driving circuit of the present invention can be smaller than the second output stage by controlling a first parallel number ratio of the first transistor 121 of the first output stage 1 with respect to the second transistor 122. The third transistor 221 of 2 is opposite to the first a second parallel number ratio of the fourth transistor 222 is further controlled. During the second charging period, the first pull-up current and the second pull-up current respectively occupy the first output stage 1 and the second output stage The ratio of the total output current of 2. For example, by designing the first parallel number ratio to be 2:1, and the second parallel number ratio is 6:3, the first pull-up current can be made to occupy the first output stage 1 and The second output stage 2 has a total output current of about one quarter, and the second pull-up current accounts for about three quarters. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, only the first output stage is in the second charging period. 11 generates the first pull-up current, so only about one quarter of the current consumption is left, that is, the driving force of the source driving circuit is only 25%, so that the source driving circuit can be effectively reduced. The current exceeds 50%.

參閱圖5並配合圖6,另外要說明的是,當在一相關於該負載電容200處於該暫態的放電操作的第一放電時段時,該第一輸出級1產生該第一下拉(Pull down)電流且該第二輸出級2產生該第二下拉電流,其中該第一下拉電流一部分來自該第一電晶體121,另一部份來自該負載電容200,而該第二下拉電流一部分來自該第三電晶體221,另一部份來自該負載電容200,而該第一及第二下拉電流中共同來自該負載電容200的部份即為該負載電容200的一放電電流(如圖6中斜線部分)。而當在一相關於該負載電容200處於該穩態的放電操作的第二放電時段時,該第二輸出級2不產生該第二下拉電流,而該第一輸出級1產生該第一下拉電流, 且該第一下拉電流的一部份來自該第一電晶體121,另一部份為來自該負載電容200的放電電流。因此,當在該第一放電時段時,該第一控制信號的邏輯值為1,該第二控制信號的邏輯值為0,該第一輸出級1的該第一開關單元11與該第二輸出級2的該第二開關單元21皆被致能,該第一輸出級1的該第一下拉電流與該第二輸出級2的該第二下拉電流分別有一部份作為該放電電流使該負載電容200放電,且4I為該第一及第二輸出級1、2的由PMOS流向NMOS的電流值加總。當在該第二放電時段時,該第二輸出級2的該第二開關單元21被去能而不產生該第二下拉電流,而該第一輸出級1產生該第一下拉電流,而I即表示只有該第一輸出級1的由PMOS流向NMOS的電流值。故,如圖6所示,在該第二放電時段,大約僅占該第一輸出級1與該第二輸出級2之總輸出電流四分之一的電流消耗,也就是說,該源極驅動電路的驅動力也只需25%,如此,能夠有效地降低源極驅動電路的電流超過50%。 Referring to FIG. 5 and in conjunction with FIG. 6, it is additionally noted that the first output stage 1 generates the first pulldown when a first discharge period associated with the load capacitance 200 is in the transient discharge operation ( Pulling down the current and the second output stage 2 generates the second pull-down current, wherein the first pull-down current is partially from the first transistor 121, and the other part is from the load capacitor 200, and the second pull-down current One portion is from the third transistor 221, and the other portion is from the load capacitor 200, and a portion of the first and second pull-down currents from the load capacitor 200 is a discharge current of the load capacitor 200 (eg, Figure 6 is a diagonal line). And when a second discharge period in which the load capacitance 200 is in the steady state discharge operation, the second output stage 2 does not generate the second pull-down current, and the first output stage 1 generates the first lower stage Pulling current, And a part of the first pull-down current is from the first transistor 121, and the other part is a discharge current from the load capacitor 200. Therefore, when the first discharge period is, the logic value of the first control signal is 1, and the logic value of the second control signal is 0, the first switching unit 11 and the second of the first output stage 1 The second switching unit 21 of the output stage 2 is enabled, and the first pull-down current of the first output stage 1 and the second pull-down current of the second output stage 2 respectively have a portion as the discharge current. The load capacitor 200 is discharged, and 4I is a sum of current values of the first and second output stages 1, 2 flowing from the PMOS to the NMOS. When in the second discharging period, the second switching unit 21 of the second output stage 2 is deenergized without generating the second pull-down current, and the first output stage 1 generates the first pull-down current, and I means that only the current value of the first output stage 1 flowing from the PMOS to the NMOS. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, during the second discharge period, only about one quarter of the total output current of the first output stage 1 and the second output stage 2 is consumed, that is, the source The driving force of the driving circuit is also only 25%, so that the current of the source driving circuit can be effectively reduced by more than 50%.

綜上所述,本發明低功率源極驅動電路,藉由兩段式的輸出級設計,於該第一充(放)電時段時,該第一輸出級1與該第二輸出級2共同對該負載電容200充(放)電,而於該第二充(放)電時段時,只由該第一輸出級1對該負載電容200充(放)電,能 夠有效降低該第一輸出級1與該第二輸出級2的驅動力而達到省電的效果,故確實能達成本發明之目的。 In summary, the low-power source driving circuit of the present invention has a two-stage output stage design, and the first output stage 1 and the second output stage 2 are common during the first charging (discharging) period The load capacitor 200 is charged (discharged), and during the second charging (discharging) period, the load capacitor 200 is charged (discharged) only by the first output stage 1. The driving force of the first output stage 1 and the second output stage 2 is effectively reduced to achieve the effect of power saving, so that the object of the present invention can be achieved.

惟以上所述者,僅為本發明之實施例而已,當不能以此限定本發明實施之範圍,凡是依本發明申請專利範圍及專利說明書內容所作之簡單的等效變化與修飾,皆仍屬本發明專利涵蓋之範圍內。 However, the above is only the embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the invention is not limited thereto, and all the equivalent equivalent changes and modifications according to the scope of the patent application and the patent specification of the present invention are still The scope of the invention is covered.
