The positive input signal Data_In_Pos and the negative input signal Data_In_Neg are set as complementary signals so that the pull-up output unit 20 and the pull-down output unit 30 are not turned on at the same time, so as to form an output signal DQ. One method for setting the positive input signal Data_In_Pos and the negative input signal Data_In_Neg to be complementary is to enable a control signal input terminal to directly output the positive input signal Data_In_Pos and the negative input signal Data_In_Neg complementary to each other. Another method is to set the pull-up output unit 20 and the pull-down output unit 30 to be of different transistor types so that an input signal of the pull-up output unit 20 and an input signal of the pull-down output unit 30 are complementary input signals. The pull-up output unit 20 is connected to the signal input terminal 10. The positive input signal Data_In_Pos acts as the input signal of the pull-up output unit 20. An output terminal of the pull-up output unit 20 is connected to the signal output terminal 60.

It may be understood that in this embodiment, the pull-down compensation unit 52 and the pull-down output unit 30 are of the same transistor type. In other embodiments of the present application, the pull-down compensation unit 52 and the pull-down output unit 30 may be of different transistor types, provided that the objective of the present application can be achieved.

Further, the pulse signal generation circuit generates the pulse signal through a rising edge or a falling edge of the positive input signal Data_In_Pos or the negative input signal Data_In_Neg. For example, if the pull-up output unit 20 and the pull-down output unit 30 are NMOS transistors, the pull-up pulse signal generation circuit 41 generates the first pulse signal PU_Boost through the rising edge of the positive input signal Data_In_Pos. The pull-down pulse signal generation circuit 42 generates the second pulse signal PD_Boost through the rising edge of the negative input signal Data_In_Neg. If the pull-up output unit 20 and the pull-down output unit 30 are PMOS transistors, the pull-up pulse signal generation circuit 41 generates the first pulse signal PU_Boost through the falling edge of the positive input signal Data_In_Pos.

FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram of an embodiment of a pulse signal generation circuit. Referring to FIG. 2, the pulse signal generation circuit includes a first delay branch S1, a second delay circuit S2 and an AND circuit S3. The first delay branch S1 is connected in parallel with the second delay branch S2 and then connected in series with the AND circuit S3.


The positive input signal Data_In_Pos or the negative input signal Data_In_Neg acts as input signals of the first delay branch S1 and the second delay circuit S2. Output signals of the first delay branch S1 and the second delay circuit S2 acts as an input signal of the AND circuit S3 together. The AND circuit S3 outputs the pulse signal. The first delay branch S1 and the second delay circuit S2 have different delay times, so that the AND circuit S3 can output the pulse signal, for example, a first pulse signal PU_Boost or a second pulse signal PD_Boost.


Further, the first delay branch S1 includes at least a NOT gate S11 and a first delay unit S12 connected in series, and the second delay unit S2 includes at least a second delay unit S22. A pulse width of the pulse signal outputted by the AND circuit S3 can be changed by adjusting the delay times of the first delay branch S12 and the second delay circuit S22.


Further, the first delay branch S12 and the second delay circuit S22 can be implemented by series connection with an inverter-based delay unit.


The signal output terminal 60 is connected to an output terminal of the pull-up output unit 20, an output terminal of the pull-up compensation unit 51, an output terminal of the pull-down output unit 30, and an output terminal of the pull-down compensation unit 52 to output an output signal DQ.


In the present application, an output signal of the pull-up compensation unit 51 and an output signal of the pull-up output unit 20 act as a positive output signal of the signal output terminal 60 together, and an output signal of the pull-down compensation unit 52 and an output signal of the pull-down output unit 30 act as a negative output signal of the signal output terminal 60 together.


Further, a pulse width of the first pulse signal PU_Boost generated by the pull-up pulse signal generation circuit 41 is less than that of the positive input signal Data_In_Pos, and a pulse width of the second pulse signal PD_Boost generated by the pull-down pulse signal generation circuit 42 is less than that of the negative input signal Data_In_Neg, to avoid the influence of the output of the pull-up compensation unit 51 and the pull-down compensation unit 52 on the normal output of the signal output terminal 60.


In the present application, the compensation unit is controlled to be turned on through the pulse signal generation circuit, and then the pull-up output unit 20 and the pull-down output unit 30 are compensated, which increases a slew rate of an output signal finally outputted by additionally adding a current generated by the compensation unit while signal conversion is performed.


Further, a pulse width of the pulse signal is less than or equal to a rising edge time or a falling edge time of the output signal DQ. That is, the pull-up compensation unit 51 and the pull-down compensation unit 52 can be turned on only when the output signal DQ is at a rising edge or falling edge stage, so as to save power consumption while increasing an output rate of the output signal. Specifically, in this embodiment, a pulse width of the first pulse signal PU_Boost is less than a rising edge time of the output signal DQ, and a pulse width of the second pulse signal PD_Boost is less than a falling edge time of the output signal DQ.


Specifically, refer to FIG. 3, which is a schematic diagram of output signals DQ of the signal output terminal 60 prior to and after compensation. The solid line is the output signal after compensation, and the dashed line is the output signal prior to compensation. It can be seen from FIG. 3 that the pull-up compensation unit 51 is turned on on the rising edge of the output signal, and the pull-down compensation unit 52 is turned on on the falling edge of the output signal. The slew rate of the rising edge and the falling edge of the output signal after compensation increases compared to that prior to compensation.

The delay unit may be implemented through RC delay or by series connection with an inverter-based delay unit.


Further, in the present application, not only can a compensation current of the compensation unit be changed by adjusting the pulse width of the pulse signal and then adjusting an ON time of the compensation unit by the pulse signal generation circuit, but also the magnitude of the compensation current of the compensation unit can be adjusted by adjusting the number and size of transistors included in the compensation unit.

An input signal of the pull-up impedance calibration unit 81 is ZQ_PU<m>, and an input signal of the pull-down impedance calibration unit 82 is ZQ_PD<m>.
