Abstract:
1. A driving device for dynamic bias, comprising: a buffer, having an input terminal receiving a data voltage, and an output terminal coupled to a load through a switch; and a bias control unit, connected to the buffer, for dynamically controlling a bias of the buffer, wherein the bias control unit controls the buffer to operate in a normal bias state during a transition period of the data voltage, the bias control unit controls the buffer to operate in a low bias state during a power-saving period, and controls the buffer to operate in the normal bias state during a transition period of switching the switch from a turned-on state to a turned-off state, wherein the bias control unit comprises: a bias signal generating unit, for generating a bias control signal, wherein the bias signal generating unit sets the bias control signal to a first potential during the transition period of the data voltage, the bias signal generating unit sets the bias control signal to a second potential during the power-saving period, and the bias signal generating unit sets the bias control signal to the first potential during the transition period of switching the switch from the turned-on state to the turned-off state; and a first bias generating unit, connected to the bias signal generating unit, and generating a first bias to the buffer according to the bias control signal, so as to control the buffer to operate in the normal bias state or the low bias state, wherein the first bias generating unit comprises: a first transistor, having a first end coupled to a system voltage, and a control end coupled to the buffer and a second end of the first transistor for generating the first bias; a second transistor, having a first end coupled to the system voltage; a first current source, having a supply end coupled to the second end of the first transistor and a second end of the second transistor; a first switch, having a control end receiving the bias control signal, a first end coupled to the system voltage, and a second end coupled to a control end of the second transistor; and a second switch, having a control end receiving the bias control signal, a first end coupled to the second end of the second transistor, and a second end coupled to the control end of the second transistor, wherein the first switch is turned on and the second switch is turned off when the bias control signal has the first potential, so as to set the first bias to a first normal bias value, and the first switch is turned off and the second switch is turned on when the bias control signal has the second potential, so as to set the first bias to a first low bias value.
