Description

The buffer in adjustable full employment cycle and method of operation thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of buffer and method of operation thereof, and particularly relevant for a kind of buffer and method of operation thereof that is used among the clock path circuit in order to the control clock signal work period.
Background technology
Generally speaking, in present IC design system, all need the different clock signal of a kind of even multiple frequency (Clock Signal), and the action sequence of integrated circuit (IC) system and operating rate, all depend on clock signal on this integrated circuit (IC) system as benchmark, when the clock signal frequency on the Circuits System is fast more, usually also relative fast more of the operating rate of this Circuits System, therefore, the quality of clock signal is considerable for Circuits System, if the quality of clock signal is not given special heed to and handled on the Circuits System, the lighter may make the speed of Circuits System to increase, and weight person will cause the entire circuit system to move.
And during the clock signal quality in the processing integrated circuit system, except the accuracy of clock signal frequency will be paid special attention to, also have the work period (Duty Cycle) of clock signal also to need to give special heed to.Be illustrated in figure 1 as a desirable clock signal 100, the work period of this ideal clock signal is 50 percent, and also the high levle of real-time clock (RTC) signal is identical with the time that low level is occurred.
Along with the integrated circuit (IC) design development of technology, circuit design becomes and becomes increasingly complex, Circuits System is also in the past more and more huger, the clock signal that is used on the integrated circuit (IC) system then must be by pluralize branch of difference, this clock signal is sent to each position that needs on the integrated circuit (IC) system, as the foundation of this Circuits System action sequence.But the difference circuit of these a plurality of clock signals is as if being simple quilt and connecing difference, and the energy of clock signal itself also will be divided equally, and the clock signal after this may lead to divergence can't promote the situation of next stage circuit.Therefore, as shown in Figure 2, in known method, can add a plurality of buffers 205 on circuit usually becomes clock path (Clock Tree), can effectively strengthen fan-out (Fan Out) ability of clock signal.
Be illustrated in figure 3 as the buffer of a known clock path circuit.This buffer is made up of two inverters 300,300 of each inverters are made up of a p type field effect transistor 305 and a n type field effect transistor 310, the one source pole of this p type field effect transistor 305 is connected to power supply 315, one drain electrode end is connected in series the drain electrode end of this n type field effect transistor 310, this node is the output 330 of this inverter 300, the one source pole end of this n type field effect transistor 310 is connected to earth point 320, this p type field effect transistor 305 is connected to each other with the grid of this n type field effect transistor 310, and this node is the input 325 of this inverter.When these inverter 300 input logic meanings are the signal of " 1 ", p type field effect transistor 305 is failure to actuate, n type field effect transistor 310 actions, therefore, it is the signal of " 0 " that output 330 produces a logical meaning, on the contrary, when these inverter 300 input logic meanings were the signal of " 0 ", it was the signal of " 1 " that 330 of outputs produce a logical meaning.
Please refer to Fig. 3, when two inverters, 300 serial connections, form buffer, when input 325 inputs one logical meaning is the signal of " 1 ", producing a logical meaning 335 of outputs also is the signal of " 1 ", opposite, when input 325 inputs one logical meaning was " 0 " signal, producing a logical meaning 335 of outputs also was the signal of " 0 ".In addition, this clock path circuit also can be strengthened its fan out capability by the energy that inverter 300 is provided, and makes this clock signal have the buffer that enough energy promote next stage.
Please refer to Fig. 2, owing to above-mentioned reason, clock signal in the Circuits System must utilize a plurality of buffers 205 with pluralize branch thereby form the clock path circuit of its difference, but these buffers 205 are actually known buffer as shown in Figure 3, it is a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor abbreviates CMOS an as) transistor.On the circuit of reality, because the p type field effect transistor in this CMOS is different with the opering characteristic of electric apparatus of n type field effect transistor, and transistorized size difference, add parasitic capacitance (Parasitic Capacitor) or other all effect that clock path circuit itself is produced, in Fig. 2, importing a work period when the input of clock path circuit is 50 percent desirable clock signal 200, after plural time difference, output can't produce an identical desirable clock signal, but produce shown in the 4th figure work period greater than 50 percent clock signal 405 or work period less than 50 percent clock signal 410.
Therefore, in technique known, a desirable clock signal is after through difference repeatedly, and the quality of clock signal will be suffered destruction in a way, this may cause the speed of Circuits System to increase, even will cause the entire circuit system to move normally.

See also Fig. 5, as input D InThe signal of being imported is 0 o'clock, and behind first inverter 505, the output signal of output E is 1, at this moment, open the p type field effect transistor of first inverter 505, and p type field effect transistor group 500 will be held open, reduce the required time of the voltage level rising of output.Because the grid of p type field effect transistor 515 is connected to earth terminal, so be held open state always, if control signal A or B are enabled state, then second p type field effect transistor 520 or the 3rd p type field effect transistor 525 will be held open state, will further reduce the required time of the voltage level rising of output E.
See also Fig. 5, when the signal of being exported as output E is 0, output D then OutOutput signal be 1, then p type field effect transistor group 502 keeps enabling, and reduces output D OutThe required time that rises of voltage level, if control signal C or D remain on low level, then p type field effect transistor 551 and 555 will be held open, and further reduces D OutThe required time that rises of voltage level.
See also Fig. 5, when the signal of being exported as output E is 1, output D then OutOutput signal be 0, then n type field effect transistor group 512 keeps enabling, and reduces output D OutThe required time that descends of voltage level, if control signal A or B remain on high level, then n type field effect transistor 565 and 570 will be held open, and further reduces D OutThe required time that descends of voltage level.
Because control signal A, B, C, D are anti-phase in control signal A, B, C, D, so input D InInput signal is 1 o'clock, and n type field effect transistor group 510 will shorten the low level time of delay of clock signal at output E, and p type field effect transistor 502 will be at output D OutIncrease the high level time of delay of clock signal.As input D InInput signal is 0 o'clock, and p type field effect transistor group 500 will shorten the high level time of delay of clock signal at output E, and n type field effect transistor 512 will be at output D OutIncrease the low level time of delay of clock signal.
Please refer to Fig. 6, this figure is depicted as the buffer in adjustable full employment cycle, but but this circuit by the first program inverter 600 be connected in series with the second program inverter 620 institute form.But when the input of the first program work periodic Control inverter 600 just like Fig. 4 in work period during greater than 50 percent clock signal 405, for making the work period of its convergence 50 percent, but during through the first program inverter 600, must shorten its charging interval, increase its discharge time, but during through the second program work periodic Control inverter 620, must it increase the charging interval, shorten its discharge time.Therefore, field-effect transistor in the first p type field effect transistor group 605 and the second n type field effect transistor group 635 can be suitable action, what the field-effect transistor in the first n type field effect transistor group 615 and the second p type field effect transistor group 625 can be suitable is failure to actuate.
In like manner, but when the input of the first program work periodic Control inverter 600 just like Fig. 4 in work period during less than 50 percent clock signal 410, for making the work period of its convergence 50 percent, but during through the first program inverter 600, must increase its charging interval, shorten its discharge time, but during through the second program inverter 620, its charging interval must be shortened, increase its discharge time, therefore, field-effect transistor in the first p type field effect transistor group 605 and the second n type field effect transistor group 635 can be suitable be failure to actuate the action that the field-effect transistor in the first n type field effect transistor group 615 and the second p type field effect transistor group 625 can be suitable.
