The voltage of electric current supply drain D 3 is also the driving voltage Vp of the power grid G 0 of power ratio control metal oxide semiconductor transistor MP0 simultaneously, so power MOS transistor MP0 is by conducting under the voltage drop in electric current supply drain D 3.Because the voltage of electric current supply drain D 3 is minimum, only can be down to Vm+Vth, so the voltage difference of driving voltage Vp and the first current potential VGH will be less than a specific voltage value.In the present embodiment, this specific voltage value is VGH-(Vm+Vth).
In one embodiment, the value of reference voltage Vm can be set as the highest withstand voltage poor of the first current potential VGH and power grid G 0.If the highest withstand voltage of power grid G 0 is 5 volts, the value of reference voltage Vm can be set as VGH-5.Therefore the specific voltage value that, the voltage difference of driving voltage Vp and the first current potential VGH is less than will be VGH-(VGH-5+Vth)=5-Vth.The value of driving voltage Vp can be by the design of drive circuit 1 by below clamp to 5 volt.

In one embodiment, the first above-mentioned current potential VGL is negative potential, and the second current potential VDD is the current potential that is greater than the first current potential VGL.
Therefore,, when control signal IN is low state, will makes the first switch P type metal oxide semiconductor transistor MP1 conducting and second switch P-type mos transistor MP2 is closed.The conducting of the first switch P type metal oxide semiconductor transistor MP1 will provide large electric current, and its ability that electric current is provided is by the magnitude of current that is greater than current source 200 and draws.Therefore, the voltage of the first clamp source S 12 of the first clamp N-type metal oxide semiconductor transistor MN1, that is the voltage of controlling the electric current supply grid G 3 of the second clamp N-type metal oxide semiconductor transistor MN3 will be drawn high thereupon, further make the second clamp N-type metal oxide semiconductor transistor MN3 conducting.
On the other hand, after second switch P-type mos transistor MP2 closes, because the second clamp N-type metal oxide semiconductor transistor MN3 conducting will be supplied drain D 3 to electric current and be drawn electric current, so the voltage of electric current supply drain D 3 will decline gradually.Because electric current is supplied the second clamp source S 22 that drain D 3 is the second clamp N-type metal oxide semiconductor transistor MN2, so the voltage of electric current supply drain D 3 will make the second clamp N-type metal oxide semiconductor transistor MN2 conducting.And the voltage of electric current supply drain D 3 is also the driving voltage Vp of the power grid G 0 of power ratio control metal oxide semiconductor transistor MN0 simultaneously, so power MOS transistor MN0 will close under the voltage drop in electric current supply drain D 3.
And when control signal IN is high state, will makes the first switch P type metal oxide semiconductor transistor MP1 close and make second switch P-type mos transistor MP2 conducting.The first switch P type metal oxide semiconductor transistor MP1 closes stop supplies electric current, and make current source 100 continue to draw electric current, therefore the voltage of the first clamp source S 12 of the first clamp N-type metal oxide semiconductor transistor MN1 will be made, that is the voltage of controlling the electric current supply grid G 3 of the second clamp N-type metal oxide semiconductor transistor MN3 will be dragged down thereupon, further make the second clamp N-type metal oxide semiconductor transistor MP3 close.

Yet should be noted, if the threshold voltage of the second clamp N-type metal oxide semiconductor transistor MN2 is Vth, the voltage of accepting due to its second clamp gates G22 is reference voltage Vm, the voltage of electric current supply drain D 3 is when rising to poor (being Vm-Vth) of reference voltage Vm and the transistorized threshold voltage vt h of the second clamp P-type mos, to make the second clamp P-type mos transistor MN2 close, and further make second switch N-type metal oxide semiconductor transistor MP2 cannot provide current to again electric current supply drain D 3.Therefore, the highest Vm-Vth that only can rise to of voltage of electric current supply drain D 3 cannot rise again.
The voltage of electric current supply drain D 3 is also the driving voltage Vp of the power grid G 0 of power ratio control metal oxide semiconductor transistor MN0 simultaneously, so power MOS transistor MN0 is by conducting under the voltage rising in electric current supply drain D 3.Because the voltage of electric current supply drain D 3 is the highest, only can rise to Vm-Vth, so the voltage difference of driving voltage Vp and the first current potential VGH will be less than a specific voltage value.In the present embodiment, this specific voltage value is (Vm-Vth)-VGL.
In one embodiment, the value of reference voltage Vm can be set as the first current potential VGL and power grid G 0 the highest withstand voltage and.If the highest withstand voltage of power grid G 0 is 5 volts, the value of reference voltage Vm can be set as VGL+5.Therefore the specific voltage value that, the voltage difference of driving voltage Vp and the first current potential VGH is less than will be (VGL+5-Vth)-VGL=5-Vth.The value of driving voltage Vp can be by the design of drive circuit 1 by below clamp to 5 volt.
