Abstract

The invention discloses a driving circuit system and a method of elevating a slew rate of an operational amplifier. The driving circuit system comprises an operational amplifier, a judging module and a bias enhancing module. The operational amplifier has an input stage driven by a bias current. The bias enhancing module is electrically connected to the judging module and the input stage of the operational amplifier respectively. The judging module is used to generate a bias enhancing signal according to an edge-trigger of a control signal. When the bias enhancing module receives the bias enhancing signal, the bias enhancing module provides an additional current, which cooperates with the bias current, for driving the input stage of the operational amplifier, so as to elevating a slew rate of the operational amplifier.
