Abstract: A wire-OR matching circuit with low power consumption can be enabled by inputting an input-enabling signal representing “enabled.” The wire-OR matching circuit generates an output-enabling signal according to a control signal and a periodic pulse signal. When the periodic pulse signal represents “turn on”, if the input-enabling signal represents “enabled” and the control signal represents “not disabled”, the output-enabling signal represents “enabled;” if the input-enabling signal represents “enabled” and the control signal represents “disabled”, the output-enabling signal represents “not enabled.” The wire- or matching circuit can promptly break the connection between the high voltage source and the low voltage source by controlling the pulse width of the periodic pulse signal. In this way, large current is avoided, saving power consumption.
