Inverter, NAND gate, and NOR gate
Disclosed are an inverter, a NAND gate, and a NOR gate. The inverter includes: a pull-up unit constituted by a second thin film transistor outputting a first power voltage to an output terminal according to a voltage applied to a gate; a pull-down unit constituted by a fifth thin film transistor outputting a ground voltage to the output terminal according to an input signal applied to a gate; and a pull-up driver applying a second power voltage or the ground voltage to the gate of the second thin film transistor according to the input signal.
1. An inverter, comprising:
a pull-up unit constituted by a second thin film transistor outputting a first power voltage to an output terminal according to a voltage applied to a gate;
a pull-down unit constituted by a fifth thin film transistor outputting a ground voltage to the output terminal according to an input signal applied to a gate; and
a pull-up driver applying a second power voltage or the ground voltage to the gate of the second thin film transistor according to the input signal;
wherein the pull-up driver includes
a first thin film transistor in which a gate is connected to a first node, a drain is connected to the second power voltage, and a source is connected to a second node;
a third thin film transistor in which a gate is connected to an input terminal, a drain is connected to the first node, and a source is connected to the ground voltage;
a fourth thin film transistor in which a gate is connected to the input terminal, a drain is connected to the second node, and a source is connected to the ground voltage; and
a capacitance coupled capacitor connected between the gate and the drain of the fourth thin film transistor.
2. The inverter of claim 1 , wherein the pull-up driver further includes a hold-up capacitor that is connected between the first node and the second node to hold the voltage of the first node not to be decreased even though leakage current flows on the third thin film transistor.
3. The inverter of claim 1 , wherein when an input signal in a high state is inputted into the input terminal, the third to fifth thin film transistors are turned on and the first thin film transistor and the second thin film transistor are turned off to output the ground voltage to the output terminal.
4. The inverter of claim 1 , wherein when an input signal in a low state is inputted into the input terminal, the third to fifth thin film transistors are turned off and as the first thin film transistor is turned on by asymmetric feed-through and bootstrapping effects, the second thin film transistor is turned on to output the first power voltage to the output terminal.
