Utilize the anti-locking apparatus of static discharge of integrating circuit
Technical field
The present invention relates to the anti-locking apparatus of a kind of static discharge, particularly utilize the anti-locking apparatus of static discharge of integrating circuit.
Background technology
Current, for television system (Television System), expansion along with Digital Television (Digital TV) function, the complexity of its system increases the challenge that brings significantly for the function that solves Digital Television in other words, as the countermeasure of head it off, use way with what current common employing hardware (H/W) and software (S/W) combined.

As the game method of static discharge ESD, current have two kinds: a kind of is with (Zener) voltage stabilizing didoe (Zener Diode), or utilizes the hardware approach of low pass filter (Low Pass Filler) and ground connection GND separation etc.; Another kind is the software approach that refreshes (Refresh) after integrated circuit (IC) register (Register) is periodically tested.Wherein, what current use was maximum is exactly, to self having the integrated circuit (IC) register of refresh function, and the software approach of testing with periodic intervals.
For by the minimized all problems that cause generation by static discharge ESD of software approach, to cause the malfunctioning situation of running software that occurs by static discharge ESD electric current, program deadlock (deadlock) (Loch Up) state can not occur, and should system be set to normal automatically the recovery this moment.
To system's external noise,, should form by the following stage: the fault (Fault) that internal system produces is carried out detection-phase with software for internal system has the very strong anti-characteristic of doing sorrow (antinoise); System is carried out recovery phase with normal stable status.
For this reason, software should be with certain rule detection internal system abnormal condition, and before system's misoperation or fault produce, detects error rapidly.
But with the software approach of periodic intervals affirmation buffer status, because the generation static discharge ESD time is very short, it is limited therefore detecting static discharge ESD with software approach.That is,, therefore can not normally carry out refresh activity, so can not prevent system's misoperation to static discharge ESD because formation static discharge ESD that can not be complete detects.

Be described in detail, at first, receive the various clocks source that integrating circuit 20 internal system produce, and in the clock source of input, detect the unusual clock signal under the surge state that causes by Electrostatic Discharge by buffer 10.
Unusual clock signal under the surge state that is caused by Electrostatic Discharge is different with the clock under the normal condition, is the signal that has the high-frequency state in the very short time.
For example, if audio frequency (Video) clock then as shown in Figure 2, has 3MHz under normal condition, change but under the surge state that causes by Electrostatic Discharge, have the clock of about 40 μ s times.
The present invention is for the unusual clock signal under the surge state of distinguishing the clock signal under the normal condition and being caused by Electrostatic Discharge, the integrating circuit 20 that utilizes resistance and electric capacity to form, to the high-frequency composition, control according to the resistance and the capacitance of integrating circuit.
For example, if constitute integrating circuit 20 with resistance and the 0.01 μ F electric capacity of 1k Ω, then integrating circuit 20 output levels to the clock signal under the normal condition are 1.8V; And the unusual clock signal under the surge state that is caused by Electrostatic Discharge is output as 40 to 50V.
Because the unusual clock signal in integrating circuit 20 under the surge state that is caused by Electrostatic Discharge of output has bigger level, therefore can reduce (Down) integrating circuit 20 output levels by voltage transformating part 30.

The embodiment that the present invention utilizes the anti-locking apparatus of the static discharge of integrating circuit as shown in Figure 3, be to constitute:, and be to detect to cause the integrating circuit 200 that the unusual clock signal under the surge state is provided with by static discharge (to call ESD in the following text) by the signal (Clock Source) of the inner various clocks source input that produces of buffer 100 receiving systems by following part; The sustaining voltage transformation component 300 that the unusual clock signal level that detects by integrating circuit 200 for reduction (Down) is provided with; The combinational circuit 500 that is provided with for the unusual clock signal of keeping voltage transformating part 300 outputs by certain hour; Receive the unusual clock signal of combinational circuit 500 outputs, and the clock source (Clock Source) that comprises unusual clock signal refreshed that (Refresh) action is controlled and the central processing unit CPU 400 that is provided with.
As the anti-locking apparatus of the static discharge that utilizes integrating circuit of above-mentioned formation, as the foregoing description explanation, in various clocks source,, utilize integrating circuit 200 usually for the unusual clock signal under the surge state of distinguishing the clock signal under the normal condition and causing by Electrostatic Discharge.
The high-frequency unusual clock signal that is caused by Electrostatic Discharge that has by integrating circuit 200 detections reduces the incoming level that accords with central processing unit CPU 40 through voltage transformating part 300.
For present embodiment,, import by the general I/O I/O port of central processing unit CPU 400 with the output signal of integrating circuit 200.
If utilize the general input/defeated I/O outbound port of central processing unit CPU 400, then minimum the holding time of periodic job (Periodic Task) needs (approximately 10ms) time, therefore central processing unit CPU 400 is in order to detect the unusual clock signal that is caused by static discharge ESD, utilize combinational circuit 500, keep the state time of the unusual clock signal of exporting by integrating circuit 200 by certain hour.
Central processing unit CPU 400 is according to the unusual clock signal through 500 inputs of voltage transformating part 300 and combinational circuit, and the refresh activity in the clock source that produces static discharge ESD phenomenon is controlled.
The present invention is when the clock that is caused by static discharge ESD that detects various clocks source becomes, and has utilized integration Shen road to detect.
