In the related art, as shown in fig. 1, there is a level shift circuit, but the level shift circuit needs to rely on a latch function to implement level shift, and the level shift circuit needs 11 MOS transistors, including 6 low-voltage transistors and 5 high-voltage transistors, and the area of the high-voltage transistor is about 9 times larger than that of the low-voltage transistor due to the manufacturing process of the high-voltage transistor, which results in a complex structure and high cost of the level shift circuit.
To solve the problems mentioned in the background, according to an aspect of the embodiments of the present application, there is provided an embodiment of a level shift circuit, as shown in fig. 2, the level shift circuit including:

In the embodiment of the present application, the power voltages of the first voltage domain and the second voltage domain are different, for example, the power voltage of the first voltage domain is 5V, and the power voltage of the second voltage domain is 10V. If the high level of the first voltage domain is 4V, signals outputting 4V or more are all represented by 1, the low level is 1V, signals outputting 1V or less are all represented by 0, and the high level of the second voltage domain is 9V, signals outputting more than or equal to 9V are all represented by 1, the low level is 5V, signals outputting less than or equal to 5V are all represented by 0, when the first level signal outputted from the first voltage domain is at a high level 1 (e.g. 4V), the high level of the first voltage domain is converted into a low level 0 (i.e. the second level signal, e.g. 5V) of the second voltage domain through the first level conversion module, or when the first level signal output by the first voltage domain is at a low level 0 (e.g., 1V), the low level of the first voltage domain is converted into a high level 1 (e.g., 9V) of the second voltage domain by the first level conversion module.
In the embodiment of the present application, the first level shift module does not directly shift the input signal of the first voltage domain, but connects the high level signal and the low level signal corresponding to the second voltage domain, and determines which signal the first level shift module outputs from the first voltage domain according to the first level signal from the first voltage domain, and based on the circuit characteristics of the first level shift module, when the first level signal is the high level signal of the first voltage domain, the first level shift module outputs the low level signal of the second voltage domain, that is, 1 to 0; when the first level signal is a low level signal of the first voltage domain, the first level conversion module outputs a high level signal of the second voltage domain, i.e. 0 to 1.

In the embodiment of the application, since the first level shift module shifts a high level signal of the first voltage domain to a low level signal of the second voltage domain, or shifts a low level signal of the first voltage domain to a high level signal of the second voltage domain, in order to realize level shift between different voltage domains, that is, in order to achieve consistent signal transmission between modules of different voltage domains, if a signal to be transmitted is high level, the signal to be transmitted is high level in different voltage domains, it is necessary to invert the signal output by the first level shift module, that is, the second level shift module shifts the second level signal output by the first level shift module to a third level signal of the second voltage domain, so that the potential of the third level signal is the same as the potential of the first level signal, and if the second level signal is a low level signal of the second voltage domain, the third level signal is a high level signal of the second voltage domain, the same potential as the first level signal (high level signal of the first voltage domain) finally realizes the level conversion from 1 to 0 to 1; when the second level signal is a high level signal in the second voltage domain, the third level signal is a low level signal in the second voltage domain, and the third level signal has the same potential as the first level signal (i.e., the low level signal in the first voltage domain), and finally, level conversion from 0 to 1 to 0 is realized.
This application need not with the help of latch circuit, only need two simple level conversion modules can realize the level transition function, utilize the level signal in the second voltage domain that self circuit characteristic is opposite with this first level signal potential according to the first level signal output in first voltage domain through first level conversion module promptly, convert second level signal into the third level signal the same with first level signal potential in the second voltage domain by second level conversion module again, thereby realize the level transition function through simple circuit structure, the technical problem that need combine latch circuit just can realize level transition has been solved.

The gate of the first transistor N1 is coupled to the signal output terminal IN of the first voltage domain, the source of the first transistor N1 is connected to ground GND for providing a low level signal of the second voltage domain, and the drain of the first transistor N1 is coupled to the sources of the transistors N2 and N3 IN the current mirror, forming a connection node J1. The input terminal of the current mirror is the drain of transistor N3, and the drain of N3 is connected to the first power source LVCC. The first port of the clamp is one end of a resistor R2, one end of a resistor R2 is connected to the second power supply HVCC, the second port of the clamp is the gate of a transistor N4, the gate of the transistor N4 is connected to the first power supply LVCC, the third port of the clamp is the source of a transistor N4, the output of the current mirror is the drain of a transistor N2, and the third port of the clamp is coupled to the output of the current mirror, i.e., the source of a transistor N4 is coupled to the drain of a transistor N2.

Similarly, the drain current of the second transistor N2 can be obtained as shown in equation (2)
IOUT=K*M*(W/L)N2*(VGS2-VTH2)2Formula (2)
Wherein K is a constant, (W/L)N2Is the width-to-length ratio, V, of the second transistor N2GS2Is the gate-source voltage, V, of the second transistor N2TH2Is the threshold voltage of the second transistor N2, and M is the number of N2 parallel connected transistors. The gate terminals of the third transistor N3 and the second transistor N2 are connected together, so the gate-source voltages of the two MOS transistors are equal, and the threshold voltages are also equal. When the current mirror is designed, the width-length ratio of the current mirror is set to be the same, and only the number of the parallel tubes is different. Formula (3) can be obtained by dividing formula (1) by formula (2)
IOUT=(M/N)*IrefFormula (3)
