1Quantity of substance
If the buffer circuit is enlarged to increase capacitance, then the buffer function is improved, but the slew rate decreases and horizontal frequency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The circuit dynamically adjusts the current based on the operating state by using the second transistor to detect voltage difference and control the adjustment transistor. When the voltage difference exceeds the reference voltage, the adjustment transistor is turned on to provide additional current, thereby dynamically optimizing the slew rate according to the actual buffer operation conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the current parameter dynamically by introducing an adjustment current that is controlled based on the voltage difference between input and output. This parameter change allows the circuit to adapt to different operating conditions and maintain optimal slew rate performance.

If adjustment current is provided to increase slew rate, then the slew rate is improved, but current consumption increases causing excessive heating
Solution Approach 1:
The invention applies partial action by providing adjustment current only when necessary. The second transistor detects the voltage difference and activates the adjustment transistor only when the difference exceeds the reference voltage, thereby providing just enough current to improve slew rate without continuously consuming excessive current.
Solution Approach 2:
The circuit uses feedback through the second transistor to monitor the voltage difference between input and output. Based on this feedback, the adjustment transistor is selectively activated to provide current only when needed, thereby optimizing slew rate while minimizing unnecessary current consumption and heat generation.
