Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent output from being changed when a source voltage is changed by using a field effect transistor as a means to switch a resistance value, and driving the gate electrode of the field effect transistor with a constant voltage above a voltage resolved by a digital/analog converter. CONSTITUTION:The output voltage of an operational amplifier (e) can be controlled by switching the input on one side of the operational amplifier (e) and resistance values (o-t) arranged between the GNDs. The field effect transistor is used as the means to switch the resistance value, and the gate electrode of the field effect transistor is driven with the constant voltage VCON larger than the voltage Vref resolved by the digital-analog converter. Thereby, a stable output voltage with high accuracy can be obtained even when the source voltage is changed, and the size of a chip can be reduced when a circuit is realized with a semiconductor integrated circuit.

[Prior Art 1] As shown in FIG. 2, the power supply voltage was used as the gate signal of the Ranjisk field effect type (MOS) which switches the resistance value used in a conventional digital-to-analog converter.

In conventional digital-to-analog converters, when the power supply voltage changes, the on-resistance of the field effect transistor shown in Figure 2 changes with the change in power supply voltage, so the resistance value seen from the operational amplifier terminals changes, causing the output voltage to change. It will change.

Therefore, in conventional digital-to-analog converters, the on-resistance must be sufficiently smaller than the resistance value used in the digital-to-analog converter so that changes in on-resistance due to changes in power supply voltage can be ignored, so the size of the field-effect transistor is not increased. It was not possible to obtain stable output against changes in power supply voltage.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The digital-analog converter of the present invention is a resistor network type digital-analog converter that controls the output voltage of the operational amplifier by switching the resistance value placed between one input of the operational amplifier and GND. The converter is characterized in that a field effect transistor is used as the means for switching the resistance value, and the gate electrode of the field effect transistor is driven with a constant voltage higher than the voltage decomposed by the digital-to-analog converter.

The on-resistance of the MOS l-transistor, which is a problem here, is determined by the voltage difference between the drain and source and the gate voltage. In the present invention, since the gate is driven by inverters d, e, and f, the gate voltage is a constant voltage V con or G which is higher than V ref.

Furthermore, this value does not depend on the power supply voltage, so even if the power supply voltage changes, the on-resistance of the MOS1 transistor does not change. However, in the conventional circuit shown in Figure 2, the voltage of the signal input to the gate of the MOS1 transistor is Since it is a voltage, the on-resistance of the MOS l-transistor is the resistance o, p, q, r

.. The value of on-resistance changes because of the change in . In this way, in the conventional circuit, when the power supply voltage changes, the on-resistance of the switching MOS transistor changes, so the output voltage changes, but in the circuit using the present invention, the power supply voltage changes. Although the above example describes a ladder resistance type 3-bit digital-to-analog converter, the same applies to n-bit ladder resistance type and weighted resistance type digital-to-analog converters.
