Please refer to Fig. 3, Fig. 3 is a forwarder 310 in one embodiment of the invention and the schematic diagram of a receiver 320.Forwarder 310 can be used for the time schedule controller in a display, and receiver 310 can be used for the one source pole driver in this display.As shown in Figure 3, forwarder 310 includes a reverser 312 and a plurality of power supply I 1with I 2, wherein reverser 312 includes a P transistor npn npn M p1with a N-type transistor M n1.Current source I 1supply with one first electric current to the power supply node in reverser 312, and current source I 2supply with one second electric current to another power supply node in reverser 312.
Receiver 320 includes one first switch M p2, a second switch M n2an and pressure limiting circuit 322.In this embodiment, the first switch M p2to realize with a P transistor npn npn, and second switch M n2to realize with a N-type transistor; In addition, pressure limiting circuit 322 includes the N-type transistor M that a diode mode connects (diode-connected) n3the P transistor npn npn M being connected with a diode mode p3.Forwarder 310 is to couple via a single data line and receiver 320, and the resistance R shown in Fig. 3 loadwith a capacitor C loadrepresent respectively an equivalent dead resistance and an equivalent parasitic capacitances of this single data line.
In the middle of the running of forwarder 310 and receiver 320, reverser 312 is at an input node N iN- tXupper reception one input signal V i, and at output node N oUT-TXupper generation one digital signal V dig, and digital signal V digthen via this single data line, be sent to an input node N in receiver 320 iN-RX.The first switch M p2based on digital signal V digcome optionally by an output node N of receiver 320 oUT-RXbe connected to one first reference voltage V dD-RX, and second switch M n2based on digital signal V digcome optionally by the output node N of receiver 320 oUT-RXbe connected to one second reference voltage GND, and output node N oUT-RXupper meeting produces a received signal V out.At the same time, pressure limiting circuit 322 can limit the input node N of receiver 320 iN-RXvoltage quasi position.
Receiver 320 also optionally (optionally) comprises a reverser 324 by received signal V outoppositely to produce a reverse received signal V outb, last, the passage in this source electrode driver is just based on reverse received signal V outbproduce driving voltage.
For instance, as input signal V iwhen " 0 " logic state (electronegative potential), by forwarder 310 to the current path of receiver 320 by current source I 1start, then through P transistor npn npn M p1, this single data line, meet the input node N of putting device 320 iN-RX, N-type transistor M n3, N-type transistor M n2, and finally enter a node with the second reference voltage GND, and now, the input node N of receiver 320 iN-RXvoltage quasi position be N-type transistor M n3a drain electrode-source voltage V dSwith N-type transistor M n2a grid-source voltage V gSsummation, and this voltage quasi position is less than a service voltage V of forwarder 310 dD-TX, in addition, the output node N of receiver 320 oUT-RXcan be in lower voltage quasi position.Transistor M n3with M n2critical voltage (threshold voltage) can be via suitable design so that input node N iN-RXon voltage quasi position enough large so that state at this moment under close transistor M p2and in order to avoid transistor M p2with M n2be switched on simultaneously.
