Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of data output buffers, for example, to a data output buffer and a non-volatile memory chip. Background Art
[0002] Currently, data output buffers are usually used for data transmission. Commonly used data output buffers are Figure 1 As shown, the data input terminal 101 is connected to the gate of the ninth PMOS transistor 102 and the gate of the ninth NMOS transistor 103; the source of the ninth PMOS transistor 102 and the source of the tenth PMOS transistor 105 receive the power supply voltage; the drain of the ninth PMOS transistor 102 is connected to the drain of the ninth NMOS transistor 103, the gate of the tenth PMOS transistor 105, the gate of the tenth NMOS transistor 106, and one end of the capacitor 104; the other end of the capacitor 104, the source of the ninth NMOS transistor 103, and the source of the tenth MOS transistor are grounded;
[0003] The drain of the tenth PMOS transistor 105, the drain of the tenth NMOS transistor 106 and the data output terminal 107 are connected. Figure 1 The data output buffer is used for data transmission. The current of the data output port of the data output buffer is affected by the data bus width, the capacitance value of the capacitor, the capacitance voltage amplitude of the capacitor and the data flip time. The data bus width, the capacitance value of the capacitor and the data flip time are all fixed values. The capacitance voltage amplitude ranges from 0 to the power supply voltage value, such as Figure 2 Therefore, the output current of the data output buffer cannot be adjusted. When the current at the data output port of the data output buffer is large, abnormal ripple may appear at the power supply port, and noise may also appear in the power supply and ground network, causing unstable operation of the non-volatile memory chip using the data output buffer.

[0037] Combined Figure 3 As shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a data output buffer, including a parasitic capacitance to ground 1, a buffer circuit 2, and a comparison circuit 3; one end of the parasitic capacitance to ground 1 is connected to the buffer circuit 2 and the comparison circuit 3, and the other end is grounded; the buffer circuit 2 is configured to receive the data to be output, and adjust the maximum capacitance voltage of the parasitic capacitance to ground to be within a first preset range and adjust the minimum capacitance voltage of the parasitic capacitance to ground to be within a second preset range; the comparison circuit 3 is configured to receive a reference voltage and the capacitance voltage of the parasitic capacitance to ground 1, compare the reference voltage and the capacitance voltage, and output the data to be output according to the comparison result.
[0038] Using the data output buffer provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, one end is connected to a buffer circuit and a comparison circuit through a parasitic capacitance to ground, and the other end is grounded; the buffer circuit is configured to receive the data to be output and adjust the maximum capacitance voltage of the parasitic capacitance to ground to be within a first preset range and adjust the minimum capacitance voltage of the parasitic capacitance to ground to be within a second preset range; the comparison circuit is configured to receive a reference voltage and the capacitance voltage of the parasitic capacitance to ground; compare the reference voltage and the capacitance voltage, and output the data to be output according to the comparison result. In this way, by adjusting the maximum capacitance voltage of the parasitic capacitance to ground to be within the first preset range and adjusting the minimum capacitance voltage of the parasitic capacitance to ground to be within the second preset range through the buffer circuit, the amplitude of the capacitance voltage of the parasitic capacitance to ground can be adjusted, thereby changing the current magnitude of the data output port of the data output buffer. By flexibly adjusting the current of the data output port of the data output buffer, the non-volatile memory chip using the data output buffer can operate stably.
[0039] In some embodiments, the data to be output is a level signal, and the level signal corresponds to a level voltage.
[0040] Combined Figure 4 As shown, optionally, the buffer circuit includes: a first PMOS transistor 204, the source of the first PMOS transistor 204 receives a first voltage, the gate of the first PMOS transistor 204 receives the data to be output, and the drain of the first PMOS transistor 204 is connected to the drain of a first NMOS transistor 205; the first NMOS transistor 205, the gate of the first NMOS transistor 205 receives a second voltage, and the source of the first NMOS transistor 205 is connected to the source of a second PMOS transistor 206 and a parasitic capacitance to ground 1; the second PMOS transistor 206, the gate of the second PMOS transistor 206 receives a third voltage, and the drain of the second PMOS transistor 206 is connected to the drain of a second NMOS transistor 207; the second NMOS transistor 207, the gate of the second NMOS transistor 207 receives the data to be output, and the source of the second NMOS transistor 207 is grounded. The gate of the first NMOS transistor 205 is connected to a first voltage supply port 202, and the first voltage supply port 202 is used to provide the second voltage; the gate of the second PMOS transistor 206 is connected to a second voltage supply port 203, and the second voltage supply port 203 is used to provide the third voltage. Optionally, the first voltage is a power supply voltage, and the gate of the first PMOS transistor 204 receives the data to be output through a data to be output input port 201; the gate of the second NMOS transistor 207 receives the data to be output through the data to be output input port 201.
[0041] In some embodiments, the comparison circuit is a voltage comparator 302. The first input terminal of the voltage comparator 302 is connected to the parasitic ground capacitance 1, the source of the first NMOS transistor 205, and the source of the second PMOS transistor 206; the second input terminal of the voltage comparator 302 is connected to the reference voltage output port 301; the output terminal of the voltage comparator 302 is connected to the to-be-output data output port 303. Optionally, the first input terminal of the voltage comparator is the positive input terminal, and the second input terminal of the voltage comparator is the negative input terminal. In this way, after the level signal switches from high level to low level, the first PMOS transistor is fully turned on, the second NMOS transistor is fully turned off, and the parasitic ground capacitance starts to gradually charge. When the second voltage minus the capacitance voltage of the parasitic ground capacitance is greater than the threshold voltage of the first NMOS transistor, the capacitance voltage of the parasitic ground capacitance increases rapidly. The difference between the second voltage minus the capacitance voltage and the threshold voltage of the first NMOS transistor is determined as the first voltage value. When the first voltage value is within the third preset range, the capacitance voltage of the parasitic ground capacitance is equal to the second voltage value, and the second voltage value is equal to the difference between the second voltage and the threshold voltage of the first NMOS transistor. After the level signal switches from low level to high level, the first PMOS transistor is fully turned off, the second NMOS transistor is fully turned on, and the parasitic ground capacitance starts to gradually discharge. When the capacitance voltage minus the third voltage is greater than the threshold voltage of the second PMOS transistor, the capacitance voltage of the parasitic ground capacitance decreases rapidly. The difference between the capacitance voltage of the parasitic ground capacitance minus the third voltage and the threshold voltage of the second PMOS transistor is determined as the third voltage value. When the third voltage value is within the fourth preset range, the capacitance voltage of the parasitic ground capacitance is equal to the fourth voltage value, and the fourth voltage value is equal to the sum of the third voltage and the threshold voltage of the second PMOS transistor. As Figure 5 shown, it is the voltage waveform of the capacitance voltage of the parasitic ground capacitance, and the amplitude of the voltage waveform is from the second voltage value to the fourth voltage value. Thus, the current value of the to-be-output data output port of the data output buffer is obtained by calculating I2 = N * C * (V1 - V2) / Trf. Wherein, I2 is the current value of the to-be-output data output port of the data output buffer; N is the data bus bit width; C is the capacitance value of the parasitic ground capacitance; V1 is the second voltage value; V2 is the fourth voltage value; Trf is the rise or fall time when the to-be-output data flips.
[0042] Combined with Figure 6As shown, optionally, the comparison circuit includes: a third PMOS transistor 304, the source of the third PMOS transistor 304 receives a first voltage; the gate of the third PMOS transistor 304 is connected to the gate of the fourth PMOS transistor 305; the drain of the third PMOS transistor 304 is connected to the drain of the third NMOS transistor 308; a fourth PMOS transistor 305, the source of the fourth PMOS transistor 305 receives the first voltage; the drain of the fourth PMOS transistor 305 is connected to the gate of the fourth PMOS transistor 305 and the drain of the fourth NMOS transistor 309; a fifth PMOS transistor 306, the source of the fifth PMOS transistor 306 receives the first voltage, the gate of the fifth PMOS transistor 306 is connected to the gate of the sixth PMOS transistor 307, and the drain of the fifth PMOS transistor 306 is connected to the gate of the fifth PMOS transistor 306 and the drain of the fifth NMOS transistor 310; a sixth PMOS transistor 307, the source of the sixth PMOS transistor 307 receives the first voltage, and the drain of the sixth PMOS transistor 307 is connected to the drain of the sixth NMOS transistor 311; a third NMOS transistor 308, the drain of the third NMOS transistor 308 is connected to the gate of the third NMOS transistor 308, the gate of the third NMOS transistor 308 is connected to the gate of the sixth NMOS transistor 311, and the source of the third NMOS transistor 308 is grounded; a current source 312, one end is connected to the sources of the fourth NMOS transistor 309 and the fifth NMOS transistor 310, and the other end is grounded; a fourth NMOS transistor 309, the gate of the fourth NMOS transistor 309 is connected to the parasitic capacitance to ground 1; a fifth NMOS transistor 310, the gate of the fifth NMOS transistor 310 receives a reference voltage; a sixth NMOS transistor 311, the source of the sixth NMOS transistor 311 is grounded. Optionally, the first voltage is the power supply voltage; the second voltage is the power supply voltage; the third voltage is 0 volts. The drain of the sixth PMOS transistor 307 and the drain of the sixth NMOS transistor 311 are connected to the output data output port 303. In this way, the reference voltage and the capacitance voltage can be compared, and the data to be output can be output according to the comparison result.
[0043] Optionally, the data output buffer further includes a reference voltage generation circuit, connected to the comparison circuit, for generating a reference voltage and outputting the reference voltage to the comparison circuit.
[0044] In some embodiments, the gate of the fifth NMOS transistor 310 receives a reference voltage generated by a reference voltage generation circuit. Optionally, the reference voltage generation circuit includes: a seventh NMOS transistor 401, the drain of the seventh NMOS transistor 401 receives a first voltage, the gate of the seventh NMOS transistor 401 is connected to the drain of the seventh NMOS transistor 401, and the source of the seventh NMOS transistor 401 is connected to the drain of an eighth NMOS transistor 402; an eighth NMOS transistor 402, the gate of the eighth NMOS transistor 402 is connected to the drain of the eighth NMOS transistor 402, and the source of the eighth NMOS transistor 402 is connected to the source of a seventh PMOS transistor 403 and the gate of the fifth NMOS transistor 310; a seventh PMOS transistor 403, the gate of the seventh PMOS transistor 403 is connected to the drain of the seventh PMOS transistor 403, and the drain of the seventh PMOS transistor 403 is connected to the source of an eighth PMOS transistor 404; an eighth PMOS transistor 404, the gate of the eighth PMOS transistor 404 is connected to the drain of the eighth PMOS transistor 404, and the drain of the eighth PMOS transistor 404 is grounded. In this way, the reference voltage generated by the reference voltage generation circuit can follow the threshold voltage of the first NMOS transistor and the threshold voltage of the second PMOS transistor. When the threshold voltage of the first NMOS transistor is equal to the threshold voltage of the second PMOS transistor, the voltage value of the reference voltage is equal to the voltage value of the first voltage divided by 2, that is, the reference voltage is equal to the capacitance voltage of the parasitic capacitance to the ground, so that the duty cycle of the waveform output by the reference voltage generation circuit can ideally approach 50%. When the threshold voltage of the second PMOS transistor is greater than the threshold voltage of the first NMOS transistor, the voltage value of the reference voltage is approximately equal to the capacitance voltage of the parasitic capacitance and is greater than the voltage value of the first voltage divided by 2; when the threshold voltage of the second PMOS transistor is less than the threshold voltage of the first NMOS transistor, the voltage value of the reference voltage is approximately equal to the capacitance voltage of the parasitic capacitance and is less than the voltage value of the first voltage divided by 2.

In this way, by adjusting the maximum capacitance voltage of the parasitic capacitance to ground to be within the first preset range and adjusting the minimum capacitance voltage of the parasitic capacitance to ground to be within the second preset range through the buffer circuit, the amplitude of the capacitance voltage of the parasitic capacitance to ground can be adjusted, thereby changing the current magnitude of the data output port of the data output buffer. By flexibly adjusting the current of the data output port of the data output buffer, the non-volatile memory chip using the data output buffer can operate stably.
