Embodiment
For making the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, below in conjunction with specific embodiment, and with reference to accompanying drawing, the present invention is described in more detail.
As shown in Figure 2, Fig. 2 is the circuit diagram of first kind of level shift circuit provided by the invention, and this circuit is made of the first voltage transitions level 1, the second voltage transitions level 2 and high pressure output stage 3.
Wherein, the first voltage transitions level 1 is made of four high voltage transistor HVP11, HVP12, HVN11, HVN12 and two diode D11, D12; The source electrode of HVP11 connects power supply, and drain electrode connects the grid of HVP12 and is connected together as the HV11 node with the N utmost point of D11; The source electrode of HVP12 connects power supply, and drain electrode connects the grid of HVP11 and is connected together as the HV12 node with the N utmost point of D12, and the output signal of HV12 node is used for the grid-control system signal of the PMOS pipe of high pressure output stage 3; The source ground of HVN11 and HVN12, drain electrode connects the P utmost point of D11 and D12 respectively, and grid meets low-voltage control signal LV1, LV2 respectively.Low-voltage control signal LV1 produces low-voltage control signal LV2 by a reverser, and this reverser is made of two low-voltage tube M1-1 and M1-2.
The function of this circuit is: when LV1 becomes high level by low level, HVN11 manages unlatching, the HVN12 pipe is closed, because HV11 is VPP to the voltage on ground, greater than the reverse breakdown voltage of diode D11, diode reverse breakdown, the HV11 point voltage begins to reduce, and makes HVP12 open, and the HV12 point voltage raises, HVP11 is closed, so HVP12 draws high VPP with the HV12 point voltage; When LV1 becomes low pressure at ordinary times by high level, HVN12 manages unlatching, the HVN11 pipe is closed, the HV12 point is VPP to the voltage on ground, be far longer than the reverse breakdown voltage of diode D12, diode D12 reverse breakdown, the HV12 point voltage begins to reduce, and when this point voltage drops to when HVP11 is opened, makes the HV11 point voltage raise, thereby HVP12 is closed, can rapidly drag down HV12 because the reverse breakdown current of diode is very big this moment, when the HV12 point voltage drops to reverse breakdown voltage near D12, the electric current of diode diminishes rapidly, so the HV12 point voltage is stabilized in VHV12 (VHV12 is the driving voltage of designed high-voltage tube HVP3) gradually.
This circuit can provide controlled VHV12 the drive signal to VPP for the grid of HVP3 in the high pressure output stage 3, therefore as long as the withstand voltage VPMAX of HVP3 largest gate is poor greater than VPP and VHV12, can satisfy reliability requirement, simultaneously because the diode reverse breakdown electric current is very big, and when the voltage of node HV12 rises near diode reverse breakdown voltage, electric current reduces rapidly, therefore can realize very fast conversion speed, and quiescent dissipation is very little simultaneously.
The second voltage transitions level 2 is made of four high voltage transistor HVP21, HVP22, HVN21, HVN22 and two diode D21 and D22; The N utmost point of diode D21 and D22 is met VPP, the P utmost point connects the source electrode of high-voltage tube HVP21, HVP22 respectively, the drain electrode of HVP21 and HVP22 is linked to each other with the drain electrode of HVN21 and HVN22 respectively, as voltage node HV21 and HV22, HVP21 links to each other with the drain electrode of HVP22 and HVP21 respectively with the HVP22 grid, the source ground of HVN21 and HVN22, drain electrode connects the drain electrode of HVP21 and HVP22 respectively, grid meets low-voltage control signal LV3, LV4 respectively, and the output signal of HV22 node is used for the grid-control system signal of the NMOS pipe of high pressure output stage 3.Low-voltage control signal LV3 produces low-voltage control signal LV4 by a reverser, and this reverser is made of two low-voltage tube M2-1 and M2-2.
The function of this circuit is: when LV3 became low level by high level, HVN22 managed unlatching, and the HVN21 pipe is closed, and the HV22 point voltage begins to reduce, and made HVP21 open, and the HV21 point voltage raises, and HVP22 is closed, so HVN22 is pulled down to 0 with the HV22 point voltage; When LV3 becomes high-voltage flat by low level, HVN21 manages unlatching, the HVN22 pipe is closed, the HV21 point voltage begins to reduce, when the HV21 point voltage drops to when HVP22 is opened, the HV22 point voltage raises, make HVP21 close, thereby HVN21 can drag down the HV21 point voltage fast, the HVP22 complete opening, and this moment is because diode D22 reverse breakdown current is very big, the HV22 point voltage begins to raise rapidly, when the HV22 point voltage was elevated to reverse breakdown voltage near D22, the electric current of diode diminished rapidly, so the HV22 point voltage is stabilized in VHV22 (VHV22 is the driving voltage of designed high-voltage tube HVP3) gradually.
The second voltage transitions level 2 can provide scope from 0 to VHV22 control signal for HVN3 grid level in the high pressure output stage 3, so the withstand voltage VNMAX of the largest gate of HVN3 is as long as poor greater than VHV22 and 0 just can be satisfied reliability requirement.
Circuit structure of the present invention, can be used for various high-pressure process, the operating voltage that is used for various VPP, in different technology, according to the VPP operating voltage, the largest gate of high pressure NMOS pipe and high voltage PMOS pipe is withstand voltage, and the difference of the reverse breakdown voltage of diode, can be by the mode of series diode, for output stage NMOS pipe produces 0 to VHV22 control voltage, for the PMOS pipe produces the control voltage of VHV12 to VPP, here voltage difference (VHV22-0) and (VPP-VHV12) can be a times (with the situation of a diode) of diode reverse breakdown voltage, perhaps twice (with the positive and negative situations that are in series and use of two diodes), or several times (with the situation of the positive and negative use that is in series of several diodes).
Simultaneously on the basis of foregoing circuit structure, can make voltage difference (VHV22-0) by following method and (VPP-VHV12) arrive in the scope of VPP adjustablely arbitrarily 0, can satisfy various technologies and circuit requirement.
As shown in Figure 3, Fig. 3 is the circuit diagram of second kind of level shift circuit provided by the invention.In the structure of the first voltage transitions level 1,6 high-voltage tube HVP13, HVP14, HVP15, HVP16, HVN13 and HVN14 have further been increased.Wherein, HVP13 and HVP14 be the grid leak short circuit respectively, and the source electrode of HVP13 meets VPP, and drain electrode connects the source electrode of HVP14 and links to each other with node HV11, and the drain electrode of HVP14 connects the drain electrode of HVN13, and the source ground of HVN13, grid connect the grid of HVN11; HVP15 and HVP16 be the grid leak short circuit respectively, and the source electrode of HVP15 meets VPP, and drain electrode connects the source electrode of HVP16 and links to each other with node HV12, and the drain electrode of HVP16 connects the drain electrode of HVN14, and the source ground of HVN14, grid connect the grid of HVN12.
The function of this circuit is: when LV1 becomes high level from low spot is flat, HVN11 and HVN13 pipe are opened, HVN12 pipe and HVN14 pipe are closed, and owing to HV11 is VPP to the voltage on ground, are far longer than the reverse breakdown voltage of diode D11, diode reverse breakdown, the HV11 point voltage begins to reduce, and makes HVP12 open, and the HV12 point voltage raises, HVP11 is closed, and HVP12 draws high VPP with the HV12 point voltage.When LV1 becomes low pressure at ordinary times, HVN12 pipe and HVN14 pipe are opened, HVN11 pipe and HVN13 pipe are closed, the HV12 point is VPP to the voltage on ground, be far longer than the reverse breakdown voltage of diode D12, diode D12 reverse breakdown, the HV12 point voltage begins to reduce, when this point voltage drops to when HVP11 is opened, make the HV11 point voltage raise, thereby HVP12 is closed, this moment is because the reverse breakdown current of diode is very big, can rapidly HV12 be dragged down, when the HV12 point voltage drops to reverse breakdown voltage near D12, the electric current of diode diminishes rapidly, the branch road that this moment, HVP15 and HVP16 formed can continue the HV12 point voltage is dragged down, adjust to burning voltage VHV12, therefore the first voltage transitions level 1 can provide the control signal of scope from VHV12 to VPP for the grid of output stage HVP3, and VHV12 can be by adjusting the series connection quantity of diode, and the width of HVP15 (HVP13) and HVP16 (HVP14) is than (selecting the situation of same channel length for use), adjust required voltage, though when stable state, there is the passage current of HVP15 and HVP16 and HVP13 and HVP14, but because state exchange is mainly realized by diode branch fast, the branch road of HVP15 and HVP16 and HVP13 and HVP14 is mainly realized the adjustment among a small circle of voltage, thereby passage current is very little, thereby quiescent dissipation is still very low during circuit working.
