[0080] The first DFFR unit is used to generate a first processing signal according to the received first voltage signal and the second voltage signal; the output end of the first DFFR unit is used to output the first processing signal to the third circuit module;
[0081] Wherein, the rising edge of the first processing signal is controlled by the second voltage signal; the falling edge of the first processing signal is controlled by the first voltage signal. In a specific embodiment, the structure of the second circuit module is as follows: Figure 3 shown.
[0082] In a specific embodiment, the first NOT gate unit is a NOT gate circuit, the second delay unit is a delay circuit, and the first DFFR unit is a DFFR circuit.
[0083] The second circuit module uses the COT_CONTROLL signal to adjust the pulse width of the external input VIN_PULSE (1:1). COT_CONTROLL is a (high-low-high) low-level narrow pulse signal, and the low-level narrow pulse is inside the high-level pulse of VIN_PULSE.
[0084] Specifically, COT_CONTROLL and the input signal VIN_PLUSE (first VIN_PLUSE input signal) are used to obtain V2 (first voltage signal), VIN_PLUSE is delayed to obtain V1 (second voltage signal), and V1 and V2 are passed through the DFFR circuit to obtain VIN_PLUSE_INPUT (first processed signal); wherein, the rising edge of VIN_PLUSE_INPUT is controlled by V1, and the falling edge is controlled by V2; the pulse signal diagram is shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown; modify the pulse period of COT_CONTROLL to obtain the pulse signal as shown in the figure Figure 7 shown.
[0085] In one embodiment, the third circuit module includes: a second NOT gate unit and a first control unit; the first input end of the second NOT gate unit is connected to the output end of the first DFFR unit,
[0086] The first end of the first control unit is connected to the output end of the first DFFR unit; the second end of the first control unit is connected to the second input end of the second NOT gate unit; the first control unit receives the first processing signal through the first end of the first control unit, generates a second control signal based on the received first processing signal, and sends the second control signal to the second NOT gate unit;
[0087] The second NOT gate unit is used to generate the first controlled signal according to the received first processing signal and the second control signal, and output the first controlled signal through the output end of the second NOT gate unit;
[0088] The first control unit is configured to generate a second control signal according to the received first processed signal, specifically comprising:
[0089] A first VN signal is generated according to the first processing signal, and a first VP signal is received; the second control signal is generated according to the first VP signal and the first VN signal; wherein, when the first VN signal is greater than the first VP signal, the rising edge of the first controlled signal is adapted to the rising edge of the first processing signal, and the falling edge of the first controlled signal is adapted to the falling edge of the second control signal; when the first VP signal is greater than the first VN signal, the rising edge of the first controlled signal is adapted to the rising edge of the first processing signal; the falling edge of the first controlled signal is controlled by the falling edge of the first processing signal. In a specific embodiment, the specific structure of the third circuit module is as follows Figure 4 shown.
[0090] The third circuit module is configured to receive the input signal VIN_PULSE_INPUT and output the signal VOUT (a first controlled signal), wherein the falling edge of VOUT is controlled. VIN_PLUSE_INPUT and A control (a second control signal) ultimately output VOUT. When the pulse width of VIN_PLUSE_INPUT is sufficiently wide (the first VN signal is greater than the first VP signal), the rising edge of VOUT is controlled by VIN_PLUSE_INPUT, while the falling edge is controlled by the falling edge of A control. When the pulse width of VIN_PLUSE_INPUT is relatively short (the first VN signal is less than the first VP signal), the rising edge of VOUT is controlled by VIN_PLUSE_INPUT, while the falling edge is controlled by the falling edge of VIN_PLUSE_INPUT. This means that the rising edge of the output signal VOUT coincides with the rising edge of the input signal VIN_PULSE_INPUT. The falling edge of the output signal VOUT is related to the pulse width of VIN_PULSE_INPUT.
[0091] When the pulse width of VIN_PULSE_INPUT is wide enough (wide enough to allow the charging voltage VN to exceed VP, A can obtain a high-low-high pulse signal), the falling edge of A controls the falling edge of VOUT.
[0092] Charge and discharge: Charging starts at the rising edge of VIN_PULSE_INPUT, and discharging starts at the falling edge.
[0093] When the pulse width of VIN_PULSE_INPUT is not wide enough (the charging voltage VN cannot be higher than VP, A is always high), A does not control VOUT, and the falling edge of VOUT is consistent with VIN_PULSE_INPUT. The input signal of VIN_PULSE_INPUT is as follows: Figure 9 shown.
