[0078] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

[0079] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0080] An embodiment of the present invention provides a track-and-hold amplifier. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a tracking and holding amplifier provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1The tracking and holding amplifier includes: a switch input buffer module 1, a switch emitter follower module 2 and an emitter follower module 3. The switch input buffer module 1 is used to amplify and output the input signal according to the first control signal, and to shut down the output according to the second control signal. The switch emitter follower module 2 is connected to the switch input buffer module 1, and is used to turn on the output according to the third control signal, and to shut down the output according to the fourth control signal, and to follow the switch input buffer module 1 to output when the output is turned on. The emitter follower module 3 is connected to the switch emitter follower module 2, and is used to follow the output when the switch emitter follower module 2 turns on the output, and to store the voltage output by the switch emitter follower module 2; when the switch emitter follower module 2 shuts off the output, the output is performed according to the stored voltage.

[0081] The tracking and holding amplifier is an amplifier that can be switched in different working modes. When the tracking and holding amplifier is in the tracking mode, the switch input buffer module 1 can receive the first control signal and be turned on according to the first control signal. At this time, the switch input buffer module 1 amplifies the input signal and outputs it to the switch emitter follower module 2.

[0082] When the switch emitter follower module 2 receives the third control signal, the switch emitter follower module 2 is turned on. The switch emitter follower module 2 can follow the output signal of the switch input buffer module 1 in real time for output. Exemplarily, the conduction degree of the switch emitter follower module 2 can be inversely proportional to the input signal strength, and the input signal can be a voltage signal. When the input signal voltage is higher, the conduction degree of the switch emitter follower module 2 decreases, and when the voltage is lower, the conduction degree of the switch emitter follower module 2 increases. Therefore, the switch emitter follower module 2 can flip the input signal and reversely follow the input signal. The emitter follower module 3 receives the signal output by the switch emitter follower module 2 and outputs it, and at the same time, stores the voltage output by the switch emitter follower module 2.

[0083] When the track-and-hold amplifier is in the hold mode, the switch input buffer module 1 can receive the second control signal, and the first control signal stops inputting. At this time, the switch input buffer module 1 is turned off, and the input signal is retained in the switch input buffer module 1, and is not output to the switch emitter follower module 2. At the same time, the switch emitter follower module 2 receives the fourth control signal, and the switch emitter follower module 2 is turned off, further preventing the input of the signal. At this time, the emitter follower module 3 cannot receive the signal output by the switch emitter follower module 2, and outputs according to the voltage stored in the tracking mode.

[0084] According to the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention, in the tracking mode, the switch input buffer module 1 can amplify and output the input signal according to the first control signal, and the switch emitter follower module 2 can be turned on according to the third control signal and input the signal output by the switch input buffer module 1 into the emitter follower module 3. When the tracking mode is switched to the holding mode, the switch input buffer module 1 can stop the output of the signal according to the second control signal, and at the same time, the switch emitter follower module 2 is turned off according to the fourth control signal, which further prevents the signal from being input into the emitter follower module 3, reduces the input crosstalk to the emitter follower module 3, and improves the sampling accuracy of the signal and the performance of the tracking and holding amplifier.

[0085] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of another track-and-hold amplifier provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, the input buffer module 1 with switch includes: an amplifier unit 11, a first switch unit 12 and a first load 13; the amplifier unit 11 is connected to the first load 13 through the first switch unit 12; the connection between the first switch unit 12 and the first load 13 is connected to the switch emitter follower module 2; the first switch unit 12 and the first load 13 are symmetrically provided with a second switch unit 14 and a second load 15. The input buffer module 1 with switch also includes: a third switch unit 16 and a third load 17; the amplifier unit 11 is connected to the third load 17 through the third switch unit 16; the connection between the third switch unit 16 and the third load 17 is connected to the switch emitter follower module 2; the third switch unit 16 and the third load 17 are symmetrically provided with a fourth switch unit 18 and a fourth load 19. The first switch unit 12 and the third switch unit 16 are used to be turned on according to the first control signal and output the input signal to the switch emitter follower module 2; the second switch unit 14 and the fourth switch unit 18 are used to be turned on according to the second control signal, the second switch unit 14 outputs the input signal to the second load 15, and the fourth switch unit 18 outputs the input signal to the fourth load 19.

[0086] The amplifying unit 11 may be used to receive an input signal and amplify the signal. Exemplarily, the amplifying unit 11 may receive two input signals at the same time, and the two input signals may be a pair of differential signals.

[0087] When the track-and-hold amplifier is in the tracking mode, the first switch unit 12 and the third switch unit 16 receive the first control signal and are turned on, and the amplifier unit 11 inputs the amplified differential signal into the switch emitter follower module 2 through the first switch unit 12 and the third switch unit 16. When the track-and-hold amplifier is in the holding mode, the first switch unit 12 and the third switch unit 16 cannot receive the first control signal and are turned off, the second switch unit 14 and the fourth switch unit 18 receive the second control signal and are turned on, and the amplifier unit 11 inputs the amplified signal into the second load 15 through the second switch unit 14 and into the fourth load 19 through the fourth switch unit 18. Since neither the second load 15 nor the fourth load 19 forms a path with the switch emitter follower module 2, the signal input by the switch input buffer module 1 will not be transmitted to the switch emitter follower module 2. Through this setting, it is avoided that the signal input by the switch input buffer module 1 affects the voltage stored in the emitter follower module 3 after the tracking mode is switched to the holding mode, and the input crosstalk to the emitter follower module 3 is reduced.

[0088] Continue to refer Figure 2On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, the amplification unit 11 includes: a first triode Q1 and a second triode Q2, the first triode Q1 and the second triode Q2 are used to receive and amplify input signals. A first resistor R1 and a second resistor R2, the first end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the second end of the first triode Q1, and the first end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the second end of the second triode Q2. A first current source ISEF1, the first end of the first current source ISEF1 is connected to the second end of the first resistor R1, and the first end of the first current source ISEF1 is also connected to the second end of the second resistor R2; the second end of the first current source ISEF1 is connected to the second power line. The first switch unit 12 includes: a third triode Q3, the second end of the third triode Q3 is connected to the first end of the first triode Q1. The first load 13 includes: a third resistor R3, the first end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the first power line, and the second end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the first end of the third triode Q3. The second switch unit 14 includes: a fourth transistor Q4, the second end of the fourth transistor Q4 is connected to the first end of the first transistor Q1. The second load 15 includes: a fourth resistor R4, the first end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the first power line, and the second end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the first end of the fourth transistor Q4. The third switch unit 16 includes: a fifth transistor Q5, the second end of the fifth transistor Q5 is connected to the first end of the second transistor. The third load 17 includes: a fifth resistor R5, the first end of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the first power line, and the second end of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the first end of the fifth transistor Q5. The fourth switch unit 18 includes: a sixth transistor Q6, the second end of the sixth transistor Q6 is connected to the first end of the second transistor Q2. The fourth load 19 includes: a sixth resistor R6, the first end of the sixth resistor R6 is connected to the first power line, and the second end of the sixth resistor R6 is connected to the first end of the sixth transistor Q6.

[0089] Among them, the first power line can be connected to the positive electrode of the power supply (VCC, Voltage Common Collector), and the second power line can be connected to the negative electrode of the power supply (VEE, Voltage Common Emitter). The first transistor Q1 and the second transistor Q2 are used to receive and amplify the input signal, and the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 can be used as feedback resistors to reduce the nonlinear distortion in the line and improve the linearity of the circuit, so that the switch input buffer module 1 can more accurately reflect the changes in the input signal. When the tracking and holding amplifier is in the tracking mode, the third transistor Q3 and the fifth transistor Q5 are turned on due to receiving the first control signal, and the input signal received by the first transistor Q1 can be input into the switch emitter follower module 2 through the third transistor Q3, and the input signal received by the second transistor Q2 can be input into the switch emitter follower module 2 through the fifth transistor Q5.

[0090] When the tracking and holding amplifier is in the holding mode, the third transistor Q3 and the fifth transistor Q5 are turned off because they cannot receive the first control signal, and the fourth transistor Q4 and the sixth transistor Q6 are turned on because they receive the second control signal. The input signal received by the first transistor Q1 can be input into the fourth resistor R4 through the fourth transistor Q4. Since there is no path between the fourth resistor R4 and the switch emitter follower module 2, the input signal will be maintained in the fourth resistor R4. The input signal received by the second transistor Q2 can be input into the sixth resistor R6 through the sixth transistor Q6. Since there is no path between the sixth resistor R6 and the switch emitter follower module 2, the input signal will be maintained in the sixth resistor R6.

The second current source ISEF2 is connected between the first switch branch 22 and the second power line; and is also connected between the second switch branch 23 and the second power line. The first signal follower unit 21, the first switch branch 22, the second switch branch 23 and the second current source ISEF2 are symmetrically provided with a second signal follower unit 24, a third switch branch 25, a fourth switch branch 26 and a third current source ISEF3 respectively.

[0092] When the track-and-hold amplifier is in the tracking mode, the first switch branch 22 and the third switch branch 25 receive the third control signal and are turned on. When the first switch branch 22 is turned on, a path is formed between the first power line, the first signal follower unit 21, the first switch branch 22, the second current source ISEF2, and the second power line, the first signal follower unit 21 is turned on, and the signal output by the third transistor Q3 can be input into the switch emitter follower module 2 through the first signal follower unit 21. At the same time, a path is formed between the first power line, the second signal follower unit 24, the third switch branch 25, the third current source ISEF3, and the second power line, the second signal follower unit 24 is also turned on, and the signal output by the fifth transistor Q5 can be input into the switch emitter follower module 2 through the second signal follower unit 24.

[0093] When the track-and-hold amplifier is in the hold mode, the first switch branch 22 and the third switch branch 25 cannot receive the third control signal and are turned off, and the second switch branch 23 and the fourth switch branch 26 receive the fourth control signal and are turned on. When the second switch branch 23 is turned on, a path is formed between the first power line, the third resistor R3, the second switch branch 23, the second current source ISEF2 and the second power line, and the first signal follower unit 21 cannot form a path and is turned off, thereby cutting off the signal input of the switch emitter follower module 2. At the same time, a path is formed between the first power line, the fifth resistor R5, the fourth switch branch 26, the third current source ISEF3 and the second power line, and the second signal follower unit 24 cannot form a path and is turned off, thereby cutting off the signal input of the switch emitter follower module 2.

[0094] The embodiment of the present invention sets a first switch branch 22, a second switch branch 23, a third switch branch 25 and a fourth switch branch 26. In the tracking mode, the switch emitter follower module 2 can receive the input signal through the first switch branch 22 and the third switch branch 25, and in the holding mode, the switch emitter follower module 2 cannot receive the input signal through the second switch branch 23 and the fourth switch branch 26. The switch control of the switch emitter follower module 2 is realized, and a good control effect is achieved.

The second switch branch 23 includes: a 11th transistor Q10 and an 11th transistor Q11; the first end of the 11th transistor Q10 is connected to the control end of the 7th transistor Q7, the second end of the 11th transistor Q10 is connected to the first end of the 11th transistor Q11; the second end of the 11th transistor Q11 is connected to the first end of the second current source ISEF2; the 11th transistor Q11 is used to be turned on according to the fourth control signal. The second signal follower unit 24 includes: a 12th transistor Q12, the first end of the 12th transistor Q12 is connected to the first power line, and the control end of the 12th transistor Q12 is connected to the switch input buffer module 1.

The fourth switch branch 26 includes: a fifteenth transistor Q15 and a sixteenth transistor Q16; the first end of the fifteenth transistor Q15 is connected to the control end of the twelfth transistor Q12, the second end of the fifteenth transistor Q15 is connected to the first end of the sixteenth transistor Q16; the second end of the sixteenth transistor Q16 is connected to the first end of the third current source ISEF3; the sixteenth transistor Q16 is used to be turned on according to the fourth control signal.

[0096] Among them, when the tracking and holding amplifier is in the tracking mode, the signal output by the third transistor Q3 can be output to the seventh transistor Q7 and the third resistor R3. Exemplarily, the output signal can be a voltage signal. When the output signal strength is greater, the voltage drop generated by the third resistor R3 is greater, and the voltage at the first end of the third resistor R3 is a fixed value, so that the voltage input to the control end of the seventh transistor Q7 is reduced, and the opening degree of the seventh transistor Q7 is reduced. Therefore, the seventh transistor Q7 can flip the input signal and output it to the emitter follower module 3.

[0097] The signal output by the fifth transistor Q5 can be output to the twelfth transistor Q12 and the fifth resistor R5. When the output signal strength is greater, the voltage drop generated by the fifth resistor R5 is greater, so that the voltage input to the control end of the twelfth transistor Q12 is reduced, and the opening degree of the twelfth transistor Q12 is reduced. Therefore, the twelfth transistor Q12 can flip the input signal and output it to the emitter follower module 3.

[0098] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of another tracking and holding amplifier provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, the switch emitter follower module 2 further includes: a seventeenth transistor Q17, a seventh resistor R7, an eighteenth transistor and an eighth resistor R8. The first end of the seventeenth transistor Q17 is connected to the second end of the tenth transistor Q110, and the seventeenth transistor Q17 is used to be turned on according to the fifth control signal; the turn-on time of the seventeenth transistor Q17 is faster than the turn-on time of the eleventh transistor Q11. The first end of the seventh resistor R7 is connected to the second end of the seventeenth transistor, and the second end of the seventh resistor is connected to the second power line. The first end of the eighteenth transistor Q18 is connected to the second end of the fifteenth transistor Q15, and the eighteenth transistor Q18 is used to be turned on according to the fifth control signal; the turn-on time of the eighteenth transistor Q18 is faster than the turn-on time of the sixteenth transistor Q16. The first end of the eighth resistor R8 is connected to the second end of the eighteenth transistor Q18, and the second end of the eighth resistor R8 is connected to the second power line.

[0099] Among them, when the tracking mode and the holding mode are switched, the ninth transistor Q9 is turned off and the eleventh transistor Q11 is turned on. However, it takes a certain time for the eleventh transistor Q11 to be turned on, so that the second switch branch 23 cannot be turned on instantly when the tracking mode is switched to the holding mode. Therefore, the voltage of the control end of the seventeenth transistor Q17 is adjusted by the fifth control signal, so that when the tracking mode is switched to the holding mode, the seventeenth transistor Q17 can be turned on instantly.

[0100] Specifically, in the tracking mode, the seventeenth transistor Q17 is in a weak conduction state, and the seventeenth transistor Q17 can transmit a current value of about 200μA. When the tracking mode switches to the holding mode, the seventeenth transistor Q17 is fully turned on according to the fifth control signal, and the seventeenth transistor Q17 can transmit a current value of about 2mA. Because the seventeenth transistor Q17 is not in a completely off state in the tracking mode, the seventeenth transistor Q17 has a faster conduction time. Then, a path is formed between the first power line, the third resistor R3, the tenth transistor Q10, the seventeenth transistor Q17, the seventh resistor R7 and the second power line. The seventh transistor Q7 cannot effectively form a loop, so that the seventh transistor Q7 can maintain a stable off state during the switching process between the tracking mode and the holding mode. Similarly, by setting the eighteenth transistor Q18, the twelfth transistor Q2 can also maintain a stable off state during the switching process between the tracking mode and the holding mode.

[0101] Continue to refer Figure 3 On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, the emitter follower module 3 includes: a first capacitor C1, a nineteenth transistor Q19, a fourth current source ISEF4, a second capacitor C2, a twenty-third transistor Q20 and a fifth current source ISEF5. The first end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the first power line, and the second end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the switch emitter follower module 2; the first capacitor C1 is used to follow the output when the switch emitter follower module 2 is turned on, and store the voltage output by the switch emitter follower module 2; when the switch emitter follower module 2 is turned off, the output is performed according to the stored voltage. The first end of the nineteenth transistor Q19 is connected to the first power line, and the control end of the nineteenth transistor Q19 is connected to the second end of the first capacitor C1. The first end of the fourth current source ISEF4 is connected to the second end of the nineteenth transistor Q19, and the second end of the fourth current source ISEF4 is connected to the second power line. The first end of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the first power line, and the second end of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the switch emitter follower module 2; the second capacitor C2 is used to follow the output when the switch emitter follower module 2 is turned on, and store the voltage output by the switch emitter follower module 2; when the switch emitter follower module 2 is turned off, the output is performed according to the stored voltage. The first end of the twenty-third transistor Q20 is connected to the first power line, and the control end of the twenty-third transistor Q20 is connected to the second end of the second capacitor C2. The first end of the fifth current source ISEF5 is connected to the second end of the twenty-third transistor Q20, and the second end of the fifth current source ISEF5 is connected to the second power line.

[0102] Wherein, when the tracking and holding amplifier is in the tracking mode, the signal output by the seventh transistor Q7 is transmitted to the nineteenth transistor Q19 through the second end of the first capacitor C1, and the signal is output by the nineteenth transistor Q19. The first end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the first power line, so the first end and the second end of the first capacitor C1 have a certain voltage difference, and the first capacitor C1 is charged according to the voltage difference to store the voltage output by the seventh transistor Q7. At the same time, the signal output by the twelfth transistor Q12 is transmitted to the twenty-third transistor Q20 through the second end of the second capacitor C2, and the signal is output by the twenty-third transistor Q20. The second capacitor C2 is charged to store the voltage output by the twelfth transistor Q12.

[0103] When the track-and-hold amplifier is in the hold mode, the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 output according to the stored voltage.

[0104] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of another tracking and holding amplifier provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, the tracking and holding amplifier also includes: a feedback buffer module 4, which is connected between the switch input buffer module 1 and the second power line, and is also connected to the emitter follower module 3. The feedback buffer module is used to stabilize the signal of the switch input buffer module 1 input to the switch emitter follower module 2.

[0105] Among them, the feedback buffer module 4 can receive the signal output by the nineteenth transistor Q19 and the twenty-third transistor Q20. Exemplarily, when the tracking and holding amplifier is in the holding mode, the feedback buffer module 4 can feed back the signal output by the nineteenth transistor Q19 into the third resistor R3 through the feedback buffer module 4, so that the third resistor R3 generates a certain voltage drop. The signal output by the twenty-third transistor Q20 can also be fed back into the fifth resistor R5 through the feedback buffer module 4, so that the fifth resistor R5 generates a certain voltage drop. When the tracking and holding amplifier switches from the holding mode to the tracking mode, the third transistor Q3 and the fifth transistor Q5 are turned on, and the signal is input into the seventh transistor Q7 through the third transistor Q3, and is also input into the twelfth transistor Q12 through the fifth transistor Q5. Because the third resistor R3 and the fifth resistor R5 both have a certain voltage drop in the holding mode, when the holding mode is switched to the tracking mode, the voltages of the third resistor R3 and the fifth resistor R5 will not change suddenly, so that the opening degree of the seventh triode Q7 and the twelfth triode Q12 is maintained in a stable state. And the opening degree of the seventh triode Q7 and the twelfth triode Q12 can maintain a consistent change, thereby reducing the error of the output signal.

[0106] Figure 5A schematic diagram of voltage conversion from a tracking to a holding phase provided by an embodiment of the present invention is exemplarily shown. Figure 6 The schematic diagram of voltage conversion from tracking to holding stage provided by the prior art is shown as an example. Figure 5-Figure 6 , optionally, V b + is the voltage value of the input signal of the control terminal of the seventh transistor Q7, V b - is the voltage value of the input signal of the control terminal of the twelfth transistor Q12. 0-t1 is the tracking mode, and after t1 is the holding mode. When the tracking mode is switched to the holding mode, the prior art V b +The voltage difference is △V 2 , V b -The voltage difference is △V 1 , △V 1 and △V 2 There are different differences, so when the tracking mode is switched to the holding mode, the voltage transition values ​​between the two signals are different, which causes a sudden change in the output signal of the emitter follower module 3. In the present invention, the voltage difference of Vb+ and the voltage difference of Vb- are both △V, so when the tracking mode is switched to the holding mode, the voltage transition values ​​of the seventh transistor Q7 and the twelfth transistor Q12 are the same, and the output signal of the emitter follower module 3 will not suddenly change, thereby reducing the base error.

[0107] Continue to refer Figure 4On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, the feedback buffer module 4 includes: a twenty-first transistor Q21, a twenty-second transistor Q22, a twenty-third transistor Q23, a ninth resistor R9, a twenty-fourth transistor Q24, a twenty-fifth transistor Q25, a twenty-sixth transistor Q26, a tenth resistor R10 and a sixth current source ISEF6. The first end f of the twenty-first transistor Q21 is connected to the first end f of the second load 15, and the twenty-first transistor Q21 is used to be turned on according to the first control signal. The first end e of the twenty-second transistor Q22 is connected to the first end e of the first load 13, and the twenty-second transistor Q22 is used to be turned on according to the second control signal. The first end of the twenty-third transistor Q23 is respectively connected to the second end of the twenty-first transistor Q21 and the second end of the twenty-second transistor Q22. The first end of the ninth resistor R9 is connected to the second end of the twenty-third transistor Q23. The first end c of the twenty-fourth triode Q24 is connected to the first end c of the fourth load 19, and the twenty-fourth triode Q24 is used to be turned on according to the first control signal. The first end d of the twenty-fifth triode Q25 is connected to the first end d of the fourth load 17, and the twenty-fifth triode Q25 is used to be turned on according to the second control signal. The first end of the twenty-sixth triode Q26 is respectively connected to the second end of the twenty-fourth triode Q24 and the second end of the twenty-fifth triode Q25. The first end of the tenth resistor R10 is connected to the second end of the twenty-sixth triode Q26. The sixth current source ISEF6 is connected between the ninth resistor R9 and the second power line, and the sixth current source ISEF6 is also connected between the tenth resistor R10 and the second power line.

[0108] Wherein, when the tracking and holding amplifier is in the holding mode, the control end b of the twenty-sixth transistor Q26 receives the signal output by the second end b of the twenty-third transistor Q20 through the fifth current source ISEF5 and is turned on, and the control end a of the twenty-third transistor Q23 receives the signal output by the nineteenth transistor Q19 through the second end a of the fourth current source ISEF4 and is turned on. At the same time, the twenty-second transistor Q22 and the twenty-fifth transistor Q25 receive the second control signal and are turned on. The twenty-second transistor Q22 transmits the signal output by the nineteenth transistor Q19 to the third resistor R3, and the twenty-fifth transistor Q25 transmits the signal output by the twenty-third transistor Q20 to the fifth resistor R5. The third resistor R3 further turns off the seventh transistor Q7 because it has a certain voltage drop. The fifth resistor R5 further turns off the twelfth transistor Q12 because it has a certain voltage drop. Furthermore, the voltage values ​​of the third resistor R3 and the fifth resistor R5 will not change suddenly when the holding mode is switched to the tracking mode, so that the output signals of the seventh transistor Q7 and the twelfth transistor Q12 will not change significantly due to the switching of the mode.

[0109] When the tracking and holding amplifier is switched to the tracking mode, the twenty-first transistor Q21 and the twenty-fourth transistor Q24 receive the first control signal and are turned on. The twenty-first transistor Q21 transmits the signal output by the nineteenth transistor Q19 to the fourth resistor R4, and the twenty-fourth transistor Q24 transmits the signal output by the twenty-third transistor Q20 to the sixth resistor R6. Therefore, the signal will not be transmitted to the seventh transistor Q7 and the twelfth transistor Q12, nor will it affect the seventh transistor Q7 and the twelfth transistor Q12.

The first end of the second anti-leakage unit 52 is connected to the second end of the twelfth triode Q12, and the second end of the second anti-leakage unit 52 is connected to the control end of the seventh triode Q7.

[0111] Among them, the seventh transistor Q3 and the twelfth transistor Q12 have parasitic capacitance, which may cause the signal to feed through to the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2. The first anti-leakage unit 51 simulates the size of the parasitic capacitance of the seventh transistor Q3 by connecting four transistors in series and parallel, and offsets the feed-through signal of the seventh transistor Q3 by inputting a reverse signal. The second anti-leakage unit 52 simulates the size of the parasitic capacitance of the twelfth transistor Q12 by connecting four transistors in series and parallel, and offsets the feed-through signal of the twelfth transistor Q12 by inputting a reverse signal. Through this setting, the signal feed-through can be effectively improved, so that the seventh transistor Q3 and the twelfth transistor Q12 will not be affected by the interference of the feed-through signal and affect the normal signal output.
