Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by optimizing the length ratios of capacitors (LC1k/LY, LC2k/LY) and overlapping areas (SC3-1/SC3, SC2k-1/SC2) to specific numerical ranges. These parameter optimizations enhance node stability and output stability without fundamentally changing the circuit architecture, resolving the contradiction between reliability and device complexity.
