Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of chip, in particular, it relates to display driving chip, especially TFT_LCD chip field, especially the chip control applied to TFT_LCD display screen, especially the control circuit for reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise and the corresponding control method for reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise in the process of TFT_LCD display screen driving. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, in the process of TFT_LCD screen display driving, in order to avoid the problem of polarity aging of liquid crystal molecules due to long time keeping the same flip angle, it is necessary to periodically exchange the positive and negative polarity of the voltage on the liquid crystal molecules, that is, the driving source changes the electric field direction on each pixel point through polarity exchange control, so that the liquid crystal molecules periodically change the flip direction and angle. However, in the actual driving display, in order to reduce the driving power consumption and solve the problem of device voltage resistance, the voltage on the channel load is generally discharged to 0V before polarity exchange in the pixel point, and then the channel load is driven to the gray scale voltage with opposite polarity by the driving buffer. However, due to the large parasitic capacitance on the channel load, a large discharge peak current will be generated in the process of discharging the channel load to ground, which will generate a large electromagnetic interference noise (EMI) on the display screen, becoming the main source of electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise in TFT_LCD display driving.
[0003] At present, the channel load discharging method mainly has the following two kinds:
[0004] (1) Switching tube hard discharge: a discharging MOS tube is connected to the MOS tube path of source polarity exchange, sometimes a current limiting resistor is connected in series on the discharging MOS tube for current limiting. When the channel load needs to be discharged to ground, the discharging MOS tube of the channel load to ground is directly opened, so as to realize the discharge of the channel load to ground.
[0005] (2) Switching tube maximum current limiting discharge: on the basis of switching tube hard discharge, the maximum value of the discharge current of the channel load is limited. The realization method is that when the channel load is discharged, the opening gate voltage of the discharging MOS tube is clamped at a voltage much lower than the power supply. At this time, the MOS is equivalent to a linear resistor with very large resistance. When the channel load is discharged, the maximum discharge current flowing through the discharging tube is limited below the set current value.
[0006] There are many defects in the prior art, such as:
[0007] (1) Switching tube hard discharge: This ground discharge method has a particularly fast discharge speed, but the discharge current peak value is particularly large. At the moment when the discharge MOS tube is opened, the voltage on the channel load is at the maximum voltage state, and the on-state impedance of the discharge MOS tube is at the minimum state. At the moment when the discharge tube is opened, a large current peak value will be generated. Specifically, at the moment when the positive and negative channel discharge tubes are opened, a positive current from the channel load to ground will be generated on the voltage on the positive channel load, and a negative current from the channel load to ground will be generated on the voltage on the negative channel load. Due to the asymmetry of the absolute values of the voltages on the positive and negative channel loads, the difference in the types of the positive and negative channel load discharge tubes, and the difference in the positive and negative channel load discharge tube control circuits themselves, it is very easy to cause the discharge peak current of the positive and negative channel loads to be not only very large, but also easily misaligned in time, and cannot be mutually offset, thereby generating a large electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise.
[0008] (2) Maximum current limiting discharge: This scheme is an improvement and optimization of the switching tube hard discharge. The biggest feature is to limit the discharge peak current of the positive and negative channel loads. In the (channel) ground discharge, the discharge peak current is limited to a lower level, and the currents of the positive and negative channel loads are mutually offset, which can reduce the electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise to a certain extent. However, this scheme has the disadvantages of slow discharge speed and long discharge time, and the electromagnetic interference noise (EMI) is not ideal.
[0009] In the prior art, it is always necessary to better solve the influence of electromagnetic interference noise (EMI), but there is no better and efficient technical scheme. SUMMARY

[0049] First, in the first EMI noise control submodule EMI_P, the gate voltage of the fifth MOS tube M5 is clamped at 2VTH by the sixth MOS tube M6 and the seventh MOS tube M7, and the CSP_GND voltage will be quickly charged from 0V to the vicinity of the VTH voltage by M5, so that the discharge tube of the positive channal can quickly enter the open state; in the second EMI noise control submodule EMI_N, the gate of the twentieth MOS tube M20 is clamped at VDDS-3VTH voltage (here, the influence of the substrate bias effect of the PMOS discharge tube of the negative channal is considered) by the twenty-first MOS tube M21, the twenty-second MOS tube M22, and the twenty-third MOS tube M23, and the CSN_GND voltage will be quickly discharged from the VDDS voltage to the vicinity of VDDS-1.5*VTH by M20, so that the discharge tube of the negative channal can quickly enter the open state;
[0050] Then, in the first EMI noise control submodule EMI_P, the eighth MOS tube M8 closes the ninth MOS tube M9, the tenth MOS tube M10 gate is connected with the VBP voltage, and the tenth MOS tube M10 and the third MOS tube M3 form a current mirror to charge the CSP_GND with a constant small current, so that the CSP_GND voltage slowly rises, the on-resistance of the positive channal discharge tube NMOS slowly changes from large to small, and the positive channal slowly discharges voltage decreases; in the second EMI noise control submodule EMI_N, the seventeenth MOS tube M17 closes the sixteenth MOS tube M16, the eighteenth MOS tube M18 gate is connected with the VBN voltage, and the eighteenth MOS tube M18 and the fourteenth MOS tube M14 form a current mirror to discharge the CSN_GND with a constant small current, so that the CSN_GND voltage slowly decreases, the on-resistance of the negative channal discharge tube PMOS slowly changes from large to small, and the negative channal slowly discharges voltage decreases;
[0051] (3) t2-t3: as the channal discharging, the channal voltage gradually decreases, when the positive and negative channal voltage drops to a small value, at this time the discharge current of the positive and negative channal (i.e. the first channel load 31, the second channel load 32) has begun to decay, in order to save the discharge time, it is necessary to open the discharge tube of the positive and negative channal completely, accelerate the discharge speed of the channal, that is, open the M11 in the first EMI noise control submodule EMI_P to quickly pull the CSP_GND to the VSP power supply voltage, the positive channal discharge tube is completely opened to discharge quickly, open the nineteenth MOS tube M19 in the second EMI noise control submodule EMI_N to quickly pull the CSN_GND to the VSN power supply voltage, and the negative channal discharge tube is completely opened to discharge quickly.
[0052] (4) After t3: into this stage, the channal discharge to ground has been completed, the positive and negative channal voltage is 0V, at this time it is necessary to turn off the positive channal discharge path to ground, precharge the positive channal in the positive direction, and the negative channal discharge path to ground is always kept open until the positive channal precharge is completed and then closed, and then the source enters the next row of display driving stage.
[0053] Reference Figure 5 which is the comparison result of the two modes when discharging the positive and negative channal to ground, S<1>, S<2> are respectively the voltage on the positive channal and the negative channal.
[0054] (1) In the moment of channal entering the discharge stage, that is, at the moment of t1, at this moment, the voltage on the channal is the largest, the traditional hard discharge mode directly opens the discharge tube with the power supply voltage, at this moment, the channal voltage is the largest, the VGS voltage of the discharge tube is the largest (that is, the on-resistance of the discharge tube is the smallest), the positive and negative channal will generate very large peak currents Ip(peak) and In(peak) at the moment of opening the discharge tube, as shown in the figure, due to the gate control signals of the positive and negative channal discharge tubes being generated by circuits in different voltage domains, being affected by the inherent transmission delay difference of the circuit and the corner, in fact, the positive and negative channal discharge tubes are difficult to open at the same time, which will inevitably cause the positive and negative channal peak currents Ip(peak) and In(peak) to be out of position in time and unable to offset each other, thereby generating a large EMI noise, in addition, it also needs to be considered that in the TFT_LCD display driving, the negative gray scale voltage is often significantly smaller than the positive gray scale voltage, that is, Ip(peak) will be more than one time larger than In(peak) when the channal discharges, that is, the positive and negative channal discharge peak currents cannot be completely offset, based on the above two reasons, the EMI noise of the traditional hard discharge mode will be large;
[0055] (2) The soft discharge mode of the present patent invention, in the moment of channal entering the discharge, that is, at the moment of t1, in order to save the discharge time, will quickly drive the discharge tube to a weak open state, at this moment, the on-resistance is very large, the discharge current slowly changes from small to large, and no channal current discharge peak will be generated, even if the positive and negative channal discharge tubes cannot be opened at the same time due to the inherent transmission delay difference of the circuit and the corner, since the discharge current is small and smooth, no obvious EMI noise will be generated; along with the channal discharge time to the ground, that is, in the time period of t1-t2, the channal voltage gradually decreases, the discharge tube gate voltage gradually increases, the on-resistance decreases, and the discharge current gradually increases, since the positive and negative channal discharge currents have very smooth change curves, they can well offset each other to minimize the EMI noise; when the channal voltage is discharged to a certain value, at this moment, the discharge current size has begun to decrease obviously, and the channal voltage has also decreased obviously, indicating that the discharge current has passed the maximum value, and the on-resistance of the discharge tube is already relatively small, that is, at the moment of t2, at this moment, in order to speed up the discharge speed, the discharge tube is completely opened through the control signal, and the positive and negative channal starts to discharge with the maximum capacity, since the channal voltage is already in a relatively low voltage state, when the discharge tube is completely opened, there will be no large current peak, that is, no large EMI noise will be generated.
[0056] (3) t1-t2 period, called the soft discharge phase, t2-t3 period, called the hard discharge phase, in actual work, through the digital register mode to realize the flexible adjustment of two time periods, if the EMI noise requirement is high, the t1-t2 period is adjusted to be long, the t12-t3 period is adjusted to be short, or even the t2-t3 period is cancelled, and the channal is allowed to perform full soft discharge work; if the discharge speed requirement is high, the t1-t2 period can be shortened, the t2-t3 period can be lengthened, or even the t1-t2 period is cancelled, and the channal is allowed to perform full hard discharge work, in short, different specifications of glass and different application requirements can be flexibly adjusted to achieve the most ideal EMI noise level.
[0057] (4) Through simulation comparison, it is found that the channal ground soft discharge scheme proposed in the patent can reduce the EMI noise by 3-4 times compared with the traditional channal ground hard switch discharge, and the effect is improved very obviously.
[0058] Further, in a preferred embodiment, the above control process can also be completed in the following manner:
[0059] Firstly, step a is performed. When the channel load enters the discharge phase, the lower clamping circuit allows the discharge tube of the first channel load 31 to quickly enter the critical opening state, and the upper clamping circuit allows the discharge tube of the second channel load 32 to quickly enter the critical opening state.
[0060] Then step b is entered. The first EMI noise control submodule EMI_P and the second EMI noise control submodule EMI_N simultaneously output a small current which is respectively modulated in size, for slowly charging and discharging the gate of the discharge tube of the positive polarity channel load 31 and the negative polarity channel load 32, so that the discharge tube of the first channel load 31 and the second channel load 32 are slowly opened at the same time, and the discharge current of the first channel load 31 and the second channel load 32 changes from small to large, the discharge current is opposite in polarity and equal in size, achieving the purpose of mutual cancellation of EMI noise.
[0061] Then step c is performed. The discharge current of the first channel load 31 and the second channel load 32 changes from small to large, and when the discharge current reaches the maximum value, the soft discharge phase is completed, at this time, the soft discharge function is closed, and the hard discharge switches M11 and M24 are opened in the first EMI noise control submodule EMI_P and the second EMI noise control submodule EMI_N respectively and simultaneously, so that the gate of the discharge tube of the first channel load 31 and the second channel load 32 is quickly pulled to the power supply voltage, the discharge switch tube is completely opened, and the conduction impedance becomes minimum, and the positive and negative channel load voltage is quickly discharged to GND.

After the end of a row of driving display, the positive polarity drive buffer, the negative polarity drive buffer enable EN changes from high to low, the positive polarity drive buffer, the negative polarity drive buffer stop working, and no longer provide driving for the first channel load 31, the second channel load 32, and the output end OUT_P, OUT_N of the positive polarity drive buffer, the negative polarity drive buffer is in a suspended state.

[0066] Further, still referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3, with the CSP1, CSP2 tube grid voltage slowly rising, while the CSN1, CSN2 tube grid voltage slowly decreases, the first channel load 31 of positive polarity injects positive current ip to ground, the second channel load 32 of negative polarity injects negative current in to ground, and the currents ip and in slowly change from small to large and opposite in direction, the EMI noise generated by the two positive and negative polarity first channel load 31, second channel load 32 reaches mutual cancellation; with the slow discharge of the channel load, the positive polarity channel S1 voltage slowly decreases and approaches GND, the second channel load 32 voltage slowly increases and approaches GND, the discharge current ip, in gradually increases, by adjusting the size of N1, N2, the discharge current ip, in reaches the maximum current peak at the same time, to achieve the maximum cancellation of the channel load discharge current EMI noise.
[0067] Further, with reference to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , after the discharge current ip, in of the first channel load 31, second channel load 32 reaches the maximum value at the same time, ip, in no longer increases and starts to decrease; at this time, the control signal CS_GND1P in the first EMI noise control submodule EMI_P changes from high level to low level, and CS_GND2P changes from low level to high level, M7, M9, M11 in the first EMI noise control submodule EMI_P are closed, M12 is opened, the gate of M10 is pulled low to AGND, so that M10 is fully opened to pull OUTP_EMI voltage high to AVDD, and NMOS discharge tube CSP1, CSP2 is fully opened to discharge to ground with maximum capacity, so as to quickly pull the voltage of the first channel load 31 to GND, and complete the discharge function of the first channel load 31 (i.e. positive channel load); in the second EMI noise control submodule EMI_N, the control signal CS_GND1N changes from high level to low level, and CS_GND2N changes from low level to high level, M20, M22, M23 in the second EMI noise control submodule EMI_N are closed, M24 is opened, the gate of M26 is pulled low to VDDS voltage, so that M26 is fully opened to pull OUTN_EMI voltage low to AVCL, and PMOS discharge tube CSN1, CSN2 is fully opened to discharge to ground with maximum capacity, so as to quickly pull the voltage of the second channel load 32 to GND, and complete the discharge function of the second channel load 32.
[0068] With reference to Figure 4 , those skilled in the art understand that the size difference of different screen channel loads is large, the discharge rate is different, and the time required for the discharge current to reach the peak value is different, so in chip testing, the pulse width of CS_GND1P, CS_GND1N needs to be adjusted according to the load of different screens, so as to achieve the minimum EMI noise.

At this time, M7 and M9 are turned on, and M11, M12 and M13 are turned off, and M5, M6 and M8 clamp the output OUTP_EMI.

The currents ip and in change slowly from small to large and in opposite directions, so that the EMI noise generated by the two positive and negative first channel loads (31) and second channel loads (32) cancels each other out. As the channel load slowly discharges, the voltage of the positive channel S1 slowly decreases and approaches GND, while the voltage of the second channel load (32) slowly increases and approaches GND. The discharge currents ip and in gradually increase.

The NMOS discharge transistors, namely the first NMOS switch (CSP1) and the second NMOS switch (CSP2), are fully turned on to discharge to ground with maximum capacity, and the voltage of the first channel load (31) is quickly pulled to GND, thus completing the discharge function of the first channel load (31).
14. The control method according to claim 13, characterized in that, In the second EMI control submodule (EMI_N), the control signal CS_GND1N changes from high level to low level, and at the same time, CS_GND2N changes from low level to high level. In the second EMI control submodule (EMI_N), M20, M22, and M23 are turned off, and M24 is turned on. The gate of transistor M26 is pulled down to VDDS voltage, so that transistor M26 is fully turned on and the OUTN_EMI voltage is pulled down to AVCL. The first PMOS switch (CSN1) and the second PMOS switch (CSN2) are fully turned on to discharge to ground with maximum capacity, and the voltage of the second channel load (32) is quickly pulled to GND, thus completing the discharge function of the second channel load (32).
15. The control method according to claim 8 or 9, characterized in that, After the first channel load (31) and the second channel load (32) discharge to GND, the control signal CS_GND2P changes from high to low, turning off the NMOS transistors that discharge to ground, namely the first NMOS switch (CSP1) and the second NMOS switch (CSP2). Then, the polarity switching circuits PS2 and PS4 change from low to high to turn on, and PS1 and PS3 change from high to low to turn off, selecting the negative polarity drive channel for the first channel load (31). The polarity switching circuits NS2 and NS4 change from low to high to turn on, and NS1 and NS3 change from high to low to turn off, selecting the positive polarity drive channel for the second channel load (32), thus completing the discharge. The polarity of the load is switched; then the positive polarity second channel load (32) is precharged to VCI voltage. After the precharge function is completed, the control signal CS_GND2N changes from high level to low level, and the discharge PMOS transistors to ground, namely the first PMOS switch (CSN1) and the second PMOS switch (CSN2), are turned off. The enable OP_EN of the positive polarity drive buffer and the negative polarity drive buffer changes from low level to high level. The positive polarity drive buffer drives the second channel load (32) to display a positive voltage through PS2 and PS4, and the negative polarity drive buffer drives the first channel load (31) to display a negative voltage through NS2 and NS4, and enters the drive display of the next row cycle.
