Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of voltage regulator (voltage regulator), particularly a kind of terminal organ that provides uses, has the voltage regulator that two-way (bi-directional) electric current is provided and uses the single form output power transistors.
Background technology
Computer system generally can utilize electronic busses (electronic bus) in the different computers element, for example ditch messenger between processor, storer, the I/O element etc.One computer bus also usually in element that computer components is connected between transmit address and control signal.
A kind of common computer peripheral interface, for example (Small ComputerSystems Interface SCSI), can reduce the obstruction (bottleneck) of I/O in the computer system to the personal computer system interface.But, when the data rate of the SCSI bus of flowing through increases, can reduce data complete on bus with SCSI bus transmission line effect in succession; So, because the distance between the increase of data rate, each SCSI branch (stub) increases, the difference on cable design or other factors etc., make terminal (termination) become very important design factor.For instance, owing to having coupling (mismatch) to cause the desire control signals transmitted to be reflected, impedance on each SCSI bus do not cause signal may be repeated to calculate; One of reason of signal reflex is owing to cause impedance to mate when having some resistance differences between transmission line.
Impedance mismatching can utilize the terminal organ (terminator) of bus to solve.Terminal organ can provide bus signals one terminal resistance Rt characteristic impedance (characteristicimpedance) with matched transmission line, also can provide a terminal voltage Vo to help driving circuit to reduce the driving load of bus, as shown in Figure 1.
Generally speaking, terminal organ comprises passive terminal organ (passive terminator) and active terminal organ (active terminator).Be illustrated in figure 2 as a typical passive terminal organ 100, it provides an equivalent termination resistance value R
1* R
2/ (R
1+ R
2) and an equivalent terminal voltage value V
P* R
2/ (R
1+ R
2).One of shortcoming of passive terminal organ 100 is the problem of power consumption; Even because when bus signal line 102 is in standby when high impedance (just), passive terminal organ 100 provides a fixed current path between terminal power line (terminator powerline) 106 and ground connection, cause lasting power consumption.
The active terminal organ, Boulay terminal organ 200 for example shown in Figure 3 can reduce the reflection problems because of impedance mismatching caused on the bus.Generally speaking, present active terminal organ mainly takes to compensate pressure drop, and fixedly voltage stabilizing is to the mode of end device resistance with keeping one, and attempt reduces the problem of reflection.In Boulay terminal organ 200, R provides a terminal resistance, and voltage regulator (voltage regulator) 210 provides a terminal voltage V
0Application for high-speed bus, for example reconfigure the symmetrical driver SSTL_2 bus (Stub SeriesTerminated Logic for 2.5 volts) that utilizes among DDR (Dynamic device reconfiguration) the dynamic RAM DRAM (DynamicRandom Access Memory) at dynamic apparatus, for voltage regulator 210, must possess from a terminal voltage and flow out (sourcing) and the bidirectional current ability that sucks (sinking) electric current.Generally speaking, synchronous rectification Switching Voltage Regulator (synchronous rectified switch moderegulator) possesses the bidirectional current ability: however its needs complicated circuit, at high price and have the shortcoming of switching noise (switching noise).

With reference to Fig. 5 is a United States Patent (USP), NO.5,608,312, the linear voltage regulator that has the bidirectional current ability by the disclosed another kind of tradition of Wallacc; It need use complementary metal oxide semiconductor element (NMOS and PMOS) for the invention of Wallacc.But, in the viewpoint of considering conveniently to make, getting the raw materials ready with cost, in linear voltage regulator, only use the metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS), particularly NMOS of the output power element of single form, be that design is gone up desirable.
With reference to Fig. 6 is the output voltage regulator of totem pillar output circuit (totem-pole) form, and it uses NMOS as the output power element.The in addition suitable bias voltage of of this sort voltage regulator is set, and just can flow out and sucks electric current.Yet its shortcoming is that bias voltage needs to adjust according to the starting potential (threshold voltage) of employed specific output power NMOS, so setting range is very narrow; So the narrow bias voltage of scope is set the difficulty that will cause power NMOS to select for use; Moreover when such circuit design changed to some extent in power NMOS characteristic, Chang Wufa avoided running through the generation of electric current (shoot-throughcurrent).
According to above-mentioned, urgently special proposition is a kind of to be applied to initiatively terminal organ, its bi-directional capability that not only possesses outflow and suck electric current, and only uses the output power transistors of single form, and the allowance power crystal property has bigger change.
