Abstract

A digital-to-analog data converter for converting a digital input signal to an analog output signal is provided. The digital-to-analog data converter includes a register, a decoder, a converting unit and an output unit. During a first period, the decoder decodes least significant bits, and takes the decoded least significant bits as a first control signal for controlling the converting unit to output a first converting current according to the first control signal. During a second period, the decoder decodes most significant bits, and takes the decoded most significant bits as a second control signal for controlling the converting unit to output a second converting current according to the second control signal. The output unit registers the fist converting current during the first period, amplifying the second converting current, and combining the amplified second converting current with the registered first converting current as the analog output signal during the second period.

Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a data conversion, and in particular to a method for converting a digital input signal into an analog output. The numerical analog data of current conversion is suitable for data conversion in devices such as organic light-emitting displays (OLEDs). Beibei [Prior Art] The digital digital analog data converter is very versatile. For example, the driver of an organic electro-optic display (OLED) panel must use a digital analog converter to receive pixels transmitted by the digital control circuit (pixel). Data 1 is converted to analog current 5 to drive the panel. In addition, the driver can also provide users with free contrast and brightness changes in the other two digital analog data converters. The flash digital analog data converter can be divided into voltage mode (voltage-mode), charging mode (charge-m 〇 (je) and current mode (current-mode) three modes. Among them, voltage mode digital analogy Data transfer • (4) The use of a string resistor to divide the wire to indicate the desired analog output value, while the charge mode digital analog data converter uses multiple capacitors of different sizes to represent the desired analog output value. However, the above two The mode of the wheel ^ will be affected by the accuracy of the resistor and the capacitor, respectively, and the capacitor needs to be extremely large on the wafer. Therefore, the general application will use the current mode digital analog data to convert to, for example, the segment (segment a current mode digital analog data converter that is generated by a reference motor to generate a constant current and is mapped to a plurality of current sources, such as received digits, through a current mirror ((10) sneaker 6 200803184 i* 17317 twf doc/g mirror) When the input signal is (M+L) bits, 2m+L current sources are required. Then, these current sources are switched by switches to rotate the required analog output current. In more detail, 'the received digital input signal is first cut into bundled south significant bytes (m〇st |^ts) with Μ bits and least significant bits with L bits. Separate processing. Reuse the /m degree sigma decoder to decode the highest sin = 兀 group and the least significant Byte, respectively, and the first set of current sources (which have 2M current sources) and the second The decoded signal from the group current source (which has one current source) is sent to the output terminal to generate an analog output current corresponding to the digital input signal. ' Obviously, the circuit structure of the hierarchical current mode digital analog data converter And the power consumption increases with the increase of the bit of the digital input signal, and even increases exponentially. Therefore, a digital analog data converter with a simpler structure and lower power consumption is needed to cope with the increasingly complicated circuit architecture. $ ^ φ [Summary of the Invention] One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a digital class under-converter and a digital analog data conversion method for converting a digital signal The analog output signal can be applied to data conversion in devices such as organic light-emitting display (0LED). The invention provides a digital analog data converter, which converts the number of incoming signals into analog output signals by using w face rainbow truncation. Data conversion chopping spoon eight 'storage, decoder, conversion unit and output unit. Temporarily crying ^ 匕 each temporary sentence is used to receive 17317twf.doc / g 200803184 and temporarily stored in the number of losers, their indignation The signal contains the most significant bit of the low significant byte. The decoder is electrically connected to the register, which uses the = least code least significant byte and the decoded minimum valid 兀, 'and control signal, and in the second class Decode the most significant and: the most significant byte of the 作为 as the second control signal. The conversion is electrically connected to the decoder, the conversion current is turned over, and the second period is based on; The round-up single-electron connection to the conversion list, in order to temporarily store the first conversion current during the first period, = convert the current and temporarily store the first conversion current junction, the present invention proposes a digital analog data conversion method, Used to replace the digital input message with (4) shouting. The number method includes, and the input signal, wherein the digits are input to the signal packet tuple and the decoded least significant byte is used as the first control = the most significant byte and the most significant bit decoded; the solution: control Into the second conversion power = ί stream as the ship = Xun ^ brother - the second conversion of the conversion current and amplification of the digital analog data converter of the present invention because of the least significant bit of the number of digits input _ the most ^ early 4 Row-to-digital analog data conversion, so the architecture is simple. Again, 17317twf.d〇c/g 200803184 The current required to perform the most significant byte conversion is based on the most expensive. The above-mentioned and other objects, features and advantages are more apparent as the currents required for the conversion of the bits, and thus the power consumption, are substantially reduced. The embodiment of Fang Yijia, in conjunction with the drawings, is described in detail. [Embodiment] Changing the cry: The digital analog data transfer shown in the embodiment of the invention. ^ 照图b digital analog data converter 1 : package: to, point ουτ. Among them, temporary storage (four). Receiving digits: =' The meter decoder 120 is electrically connected to the register ιι, the switch is electrically connected to the thermometer decoder 120' and the output unit 140 is the converting unit m. Further, the wheeling unit 14G includes an output =, a current amplifier 142, and a current register 143. The output node τ is electrically connected to the current amplifier 142 and the current register ι43, and the output of the current amplifier ϋΐ42 and the current register 143 is analogized as a signal; ^Sustaining benefit U0 is used to receive and temporarily store the digital input signal for 120 pieces of data in the temperature decoding state. The conversion unit Bo includes a plurality of current suppliers 丨31 to 13X' and each of the current supply wires determines whether to supply current to the output unit 14A according to the received control signal, wherein ^==2^-1. Here, it can be designed that the output currents supplied from the current suppliers 131 to χ3χ to the wheel-out unit 140 are substantially the same, which is different from the conventional binary weighted conversion of 9 20080318+ 17317 twf.doc/g. Called a linearly weighted conversion. According to the concept of the present invention, the digital input signal of the (M+L) bit is cut into the most significant byte having the Μ bit and the least significant byte having the L bit to be processed separately, where M And L is a positive integer and. During the first period, the thermometer decoder 120 decodes the least significant byte and uses the coded least significant byte as the first control signal to control the conversion unit 130 to output the first conversion current Itmp, according to the first control signal. . At this time, in the output unit 140, the output switch 141 is switched to the end point c, i.e., the points A and C form a path. Therefore, the output switch 141 conducts the first switching current Itmp,1 to the current register 143, and temporarily stores the first switching current Itmp,1 by the current register 143. In the second step, the thermometer decoder reads the most significant byte and decodes the most significant byte as the second control minus to control the conversion list 7L 130 to rotate according to the second control signal. Two conversion currents Itmp, 2. At this time, in the output unit 14A, the output switch i4i is switched to the ??? B, that is, the terminals A and B form a path. Therefore, the output switch 141 conducts, the second switching current Itmp, 2 to the current amplifier 142, and the second conversion current Itmp, 2 is amplified by the current amplification 142. Finally, the output node OUT is combined with the first conversion current of the current register 143 and the second conversion current Itmp, 2 output by the current amplifier 142, which is an analog output signal. In general, if M+L is even, it is designed to be equal to L. If μ+£ is odd, it is designed to be equal to L-b. So the minimum current supply 17317twfdoc/g 200803184 is available to make the architecture simple and low power consumption. . The group's conversion unit is applied to handle the most thief's current thief current after converting the least significant bit byte: ^ bit read and then magnify the most effective pair of the least significant bit group ang ^ ^ also pick (4) - conversion unit sub-conversion map =:: Γ: two: = _ material converter block diagram,; two digit analog data = there are: the highest bit: == yuan: take the low-value group. Figure 4 Lun. 哭 Crying, old 舛醢 m. . % and θ are the relationship between the 22-four input/output of the digital-scale analog code conversion in the digital analog data conversion shown in Fig. 2. Referring to Figures 2 and 4 at the same time, the register is latched by the digits, so the register of the scratchpad. Moreover, since the least significant byte has 3 ports, the thermometer decoder 220 receives the control signal of the 3-bit input signal. And the 'control bit' Γ 24 〇 Γ - a current supply to determine whether to provide current to the output list (four) for the need for 7 current supplies 'that is, the conversion unit 230 includes the package supply states 231 - 237. Each of the current supply 11 includes a side switch and a ', and the towel switch determines the rain source from the current source to the output unit according to the control. With the current supply, the 23 M1 contains the switch 250 and the current source. Wherein, the switch 25 receives the control signal of the logic 1, and the switch 250 is "on", and at this time, the switch 25 is changed to the vertical point Y (ie, the end point and the gamma forming path) to make the current source 鸠 11 200803184^17317twf.doc/g The output current i is connected to the control signal of the output unit 24i to the logic 0.

Therefore, the current value of the second switching current Itmp, 2 is 21, and the turn-off switch 241 leads the second switching current Itmp, 2 to the current amplification benefit 242' and is amplified by the current amplifier 242 by 8 (= 23) times to become 161. Finally, the first conversion current Itmp, which is outputted by the current register 243 in conjunction with the current register 243, and the second conversion current Itmp, 2 outputted by the current amplifier 242 as the analog output signal, therefore correspond to The current value of the analog output signal to the digital input signal "〇1〇11〇" is 221. FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B are diagrams showing an embodiment of the current supply switch in the digital analog data converter shown in FIG. Take the switch 25f of the current supply 231 as an example. Referring to FIG. 3A, an implementation method of the switch 25A is composed of = three-terminal switch 301, and the three-terminal switch 3〇1 switches to the end point γ if it receives a control bit of the control signal CT. If a bit is received as logic 0, it switches to endpoint Z. Referring to FIG. 3B, another method of applying the switch 250 is formed by two two-terminal switches 311 and 312. When the one end switch 311 receives a signal of the control signal CT to be a logical one, the signal of the two ends of the control signal CT is connected. At this time, the other two-terminal switch 312 must receive the control, and the bit corresponding to the above-mentioned bit in the signal ~CT Yuan, so do not connect the signal at both ends. Obviously, since the control signal CT is complementary to the ~CT, one of the switches 311 and 312 conducts a signal and the other does not conduct a signal. Figure 5 is a block diagram of the conversion unit 23 in the digital analog data converter shown in Figure 2. Referring to Figure 5, the current supply 231 is taken as an example, and its switch 250 adopts the switch design shown in Figure 3B. In addition, the current source 260 13 17317twf.doc/g 200803184 is implemented by an NMOS transistor in conjunction with a reference current generator 57A. The 'reference power W generation state 570 receives the voltage vref and uses the operational amplifier 571 for feedback control to bias the transistor with a more stable voltage. The electric crystals 572-575 form a current mirror that maps the current of the transistor 574 to the current of the transistor 575, and the transistor 576 generates a voltage bias current source 260 to generate a fixed current I. Fig. 6 is a view similar to the data conversion of the digital analog data converter according to still another embodiment of the present invention. Please also refer to _ 2 Lang 6, the difference between the two is in the design of the unit. Anyone who is familiar with this technique should be able to understand it easily and describe it here. Although the above embodiment takes a digital input with an even number of bits as an example, the (4) correction may also be a digital input signal having an odd number of bits. For example, if the digital input signal is "1001010", the oldest right-effect byte is 'taste, and the least significant byte is "fine,,, t, the even-numbered bit is touched by the signal.
