Abstract

The invention discloses an active pull-down circuit for driving a capacitive load. The active pull-down circuit comprises an input unit, a driving unit and a delay unit, the input unit is connected with the driving unit and used for converting inputted signals into differential signals, the driving unit is connected to the delay unit, is used for providing active driving current and shares and redistributes current of a driving current source, and the delay unit is used for controlling the driving current source in the driving unit after delaying outputted signals. When high-level output is switched to low-level output, the load capacitor is quickly discharged and when low-level output is switched to high-level output, the load capacitor is quickly charged, so that high-level outputted signals and low-level outputted signals are quickly switched. The capacitive load is quickly driven under conditions without increasing power consumption or obviously increasing the area and the complexity of the circuit, and the active pull-down circuit has the advantages of simplicity, low power consumption, fast working speed, high driving capacity and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of integrated circuit design, in particular to an active pull-down circuit for driving capacitive loads, which is used to drive capacitive loads such as capacitors, interconnect lines, and transistor arrays. Background technique [0002] Emitter coupled logic (ECL), also known as current switching logic circuit, is widely used in bipolar digital integrated circuits because of its fast working speed and short average delay time. The ECL circuit consists of two parts, the first is the differential pair logic controlled by the current switch, and the second is the emitter follower as the output buffer. The operating current of the emitter follower is determined by a resistor or a current source, which is generally fixed. . In large-scale integrated circuits, ECL circuits drive multi-stage load circuits. Due to the parasitic resistance and parasitic capacitance of the transistors and interconnect lines that make up the ...
