Abstract:
The present invention relates to a current cell driving circuit in a digital-to-analog converter. The current cell driving circuit limits the potential of differential control signals to a given potential level by means of a voltage limiter using a parasitic capacitance of a transistor. Therefore, the present invention can effectively limit the potential of differential control signals DP and DN without compromising the power consumption and the circuit area and also can minimize the transfer time.

PURPOSE: A current controlled variable delay circuit is provided to have low phase noise and a high speed switching. CONSTITUTION: The current controlled variable delay circuit comprises a variable current source(500), and a switching transistor part(100) forming a current path between the variable current source and one of the first and the second differential output signal(+Vout,-Vout) of the first or the second potential level in response to the first and the second differential input signal(V+,V-). A differential signal sensing part(200) generates the first and the second differential output signal by amplifying a different between the first and the second differential input signal in response to an output of the switching transistor part and operates in a saturated region. A positive feedback amplification part(300) increases a sensing speed of the differential signal sensing part by receiving an output of the differential signal sensing part as an input. And a potential level decreasing part(400) reduces noise of the first and the second differential output signal by reducing a potential difference between the first and the second differential output signal, and increases a response speed of the first or the second differential output signal responding to the first and the second differential input signal.

PURPOSE: A voltage-controlled oscillator having linear characteristic is provided to make a variation rate uniform without regard to a control voltage, so improve the characteristic of PLL. CONSTITUTION: The device includes a voltage-to-current converter(110) for converting an input control voltage into current, a current providing unit(120) for providing the converted current to an oscillator(130), and a voltage restricting unit(140) for restricting the voltage of the oscillator. The oscillator accepts the converted current to oscillate. The voltage-to-current converter has a buffer for compensating for a threshold voltage at the input port to operate normally from the initial operation state. The converter operates a transistor taking charge of conversion in a linear area to make a voltage/current conversion gain be linear.
