Description

Positive and negative high voltage level conversion circuit
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of integrated circuits, in particular to a positive-negative high-voltage level conversion circuit.
Background
In circuitry, the circuits of different voltage domains need to be connected by a level shifter circuit. The level conversion circuit distinguishes between a positive high voltage level conversion circuit, a negative high voltage level conversion circuit and a positive and negative high voltage level conversion circuit according to the output voltage. Among them, the current practice of the positive and negative high voltage level conversion circuit is to integrate the former two together.
Fig. 1 shows a conventional positive-negative high voltage level conversion circuit, wherein the high-low level corresponding to the input terminal IN is positive low voltage VDD and ground GND, respectively, and the high-low level corresponding to the output terminal OUT is positive high voltage VPOS and negative high voltage VNEG after passing through the level conversion circuit.
The operating principle is that IN outputs a positive high voltage level VPOS or GND through a positive high voltage level switching circuit lsp, which controls the on or off of the P-type transistor MP0, and fig. 2a is an internal circuit structure of the lsp. Meanwhile, IN controls on or off of the N-type transistor MN0 by outputting the negative high voltage VNEG or VDD through a negative high voltage level converting circuit lsn, and fig. 2b is an internal circuit structure of lsn. When IN inputs GND level, lsp outputs GND level, lsn outputs VNEG level, MP0 is turned on, MN0 is turned off, and OUT outputs VPOS level; when IN inputs VDD level, lsp outputs VPOS level, lsn outputs VDD level, MP0 is off, MN0 is on, and OUT outputs VNEG level.
The shortfall of the positive and negative high voltage level conversion circuit is that:
a) A larger number of transistors. lsp and lsn plus two output drive tubes, together require at least 14 transistors.
b) A larger operating current. The lsp and lsn consume current when the input signal IN changes, respectively.
c) The level shift speed is slow. Both lsp and lsn are on for the one-sided input transistor, off for the other-sided input transistor, and slow in output response.

The voltage domain of the positive input signal IN is 0 to positive low voltage VDD, wherein the voltage of the positive voltage source VPOS is greater than or equal to the positive low voltage VDD, and the voltage of the negative voltage source VNEG is less than or equal to 0. Specifically, the voltage of the positive voltage source VPOS may be fixed to the positive low voltage VDD, or may be maintained at the positive low voltage VDD first and then raised to the positive high voltage, which is a voltage value higher than the positive low voltage VDD.

The voltage of the positive voltage source VPOS rises from the positive low voltage VDD to the positive high voltage, so that the positive output voltage OUT rises to the positive high voltage.
Under the condition that the voltage values of the positive high voltage and the positive low voltage VDD are quite different, the level conversion can be finished when the voltage of the positive voltage source VPOS is maintained at the positive low voltage VDD, then the voltage of the positive voltage source VPOS is increased from VDD to the positive high voltage, the level conversion function is realized by smaller channel widths of NMOS transistors MN1, MN2, MN3, MN4, MN5 and MN6 or smaller channel lengths of PMOS transistors MP1 and MP2, and the circuit design cost is reduced.

The voltage of the positive voltage source VPOS is fixed to a positive low voltage VDD. The voltage of the negative voltage source VNEG is first maintained at 0, and the enable signal EN is first fixed to the positive low voltage VDD. When the positive input signal IN is 0, the second NMOS transistor MN2 and the sixth NMOS transistor MN6 are turned on, the first NMOS transistor MN1 and the fifth NMOS transistor MN5 are turned off so that the positive output voltage OUT is 0, the negative output voltage OUTb is a positive low voltage VDD, the fourth NMOS transistor NM4 is turned on, and the second PMOS transistor MP2 is turned off so that the positive output voltage OUT is maintained at 0. When the positive input signal IN is a positive low voltage VDD, the second NMOS transistor MN2 and the sixth NMOS transistor MN6 are turned off, the first NMOS transistor MN1 and the fifth NMOS transistor MN5 are turned on, so that the positive output voltage OUT is a positive low voltage VDD, the negative output voltage OUTb is 0, the third NMOS transistor MN3 is turned on, and the first PMOS transistor MP1 is turned off, so that the negative output voltage OUTb remains 0.

Fig. 6 is a waveform diagram of a positive-negative high voltage level conversion circuit according to an embodiment of the present application as a mode of the positive-negative high voltage level conversion circuit at the same time. The voltage of the positive voltage source VPOS is first maintained at the positive low voltage VDD, the voltage of the negative voltage source VNEG is first maintained at 0, and the enable signal EN is first fixed at the positive low voltage VDD; when the positive input signal IN is 0, the second NMOS transistor MN2 and the sixth NMOS transistor MN6 are turned on, the first NMOS transistor MN1 and the fifth NMOS transistor MN5 are turned off so that the positive output voltage OUT is 0, the negative output voltage OUTb is a positive low voltage VDD, the fourth NMOS transistor MN4 is turned on, and the second PMOS transistor MP2 is turned off so that the positive output voltage OUT is maintained at 0.
