    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a highly precise pull-up/pull-down circuit capable of highly precisely matching a pul-up current and a pull-down current with each other in their values.
    SOLUTION: The highly precise pull-up/pull-down circuit 1 comprises P-channel transistors TP1, TP2, N-channel transistors TN1, TN2, a reference voltage source 11, and a control circuit 12. The control circuit 12 adopts a configuration of an operational amplifier circuit, a voltage Vref at nodes NA, NB is given to a negative (-) input terminal, and the feedback configuration controls a voltage at a connecting point (point C) between the P-channel transistor TP2 and the N-channel transistor TN2 to be equal to the voltage Vref. In this case, since a current Ipuo is equal to a current Ipd and the current Ipuo is accurately mirrored to the current Ipd and the current Ipdo is accurately mirrored to the current Ipd, the circuit 1 can match the pull-up current Ipu and the pull-down current Ipd with each other in their values highly precisely.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve such limiter characteristics that unwanted waveform deformation does not occur. SOLUTION: A differential amplifier circuit included in a limiter circuit 10 amplifies a potential difference between a control voltage and the potential of an input signal and outputs the amplified potential difference. When the potential of the input signal exceeds the potential level of a limit voltage, current is supplied to a resistor 1 and the potential level of a node N1 is controlled not to exceed the limit voltage. Since the potential difference appears in an amplified state by using the differential amplifier circuit, when the potential of the input signal exceeds the potential level of the limit voltage, a switching element (such as an NMOS transistor 5 or a PMOS transistor 6) is speedily turned on and the current can flow to the resistor 1. Namely, ON/OFF of operation of the switching element can be accurately changed over, then, excellent limiter characteristics can be materialized. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reference voltage generating circuit maintaining stable operation even if voltage Vt required for turning on a transistor constituting a start-up circuit is relatively high. SOLUTION: In the reference voltage generating circuit, potential of a node N5 is input into a gate of an NMOS transistor 33 included in the start-up circuit 30a simultaneously with power-on. The potential of the node N5 becomes higher than an output node N1 by potential difference generated by a resistor 43. Therefore, when the value of the resistor 43 is set so as to exceed Vt of the NMOS transistor 33 before the potential of the output node N1 becomes an essential reference voltage, even if the Vt of the transistor 33 constituting the start-up circuit is relatively high, the reference voltage generating circuit does not output voltage exceeding the reference voltage, and can promptly start and stably maintain the reference voltage.
