Abstract

This invention provides an apparature and method of dynamic adjusting voltage source used in the integrated circuit; it includes especially a voltage source adjusting system suitable for using in the chip which could provide various voltage source under various operation mode to be in tune with various working mode usage. Such system comprises the voltage sense circuit (VSC) and a settable buffer circuit (CBC) which could adjust the voltage producer on the chip. Such settable buffer circuit (CBC) produces an output signal to the voltage producer on the chip to control the action or not of the voltage producer. The voltage sense circuit (VSC) produces the detected voltage level VLD signal of which the level is the function of the output voltage on the voltage producer. It could settle the signal of settable buffer circuit (CBC) receiving working model and the detecting signal coming from the voltage sensor circuit VLD. The response of settable buffer circuit (CBC) toward the control signal is to preset a voltage level of the relative selective working model in the settable buffer circuit (CBC). Especially the aiming for the various working model the settable buffer circuit (CBC) could make the voltage producer on the chip to produce the corresponding voltage source voltage. The example of this invention explains that the settable buffer circuit (CBC) uses a settable pull-up circuit which could change the excitation point of the threshold voltage. Such settable pull-up circuit uses the voltage in the internal node and to let the output signal to control the action or inaction of the voltage producer. Under one of the operation model, such pull-up circuit would elevate strongly the node voltage to make such buffer circuit different under another operation model and to change the threshold voltage.

Description of the Invention (I) Background of the Invention: Field of the Invention: The present invention relates to an integrated circuit device, and more particularly to an apparatus and method for adjusting a voltage source on an integrated circuit. Moreover, the voltage generator of the present invention can be adjusted for different operation modes. Overview of previous technical descriptions = Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) Many integrated circuit chips (generally referred to as chips) have more than one mode of operation. For example, under normal operating conditions, the chip performs normal functions, which is the normal mode; in a memory chip, the normal mode may refer to the processing of memory access requirements. In addition, the integrated circuit chip has a test mode to test whether the function of the chip is correct. The test mode is often related to the "burn-in" test. The warm-up test mode is a reportable performance test. It tests the chip's operating efficiency and other changes when the chip exceeds the normal operating temperature. For example, a wafer may be forced to undergo a warm-up test, which raises the temperature of the wafer to a relatively high temperature by heating, and supplies the wafer with a relatively high voltage source VDD. The warm-up test is generally used to check whether the chip will lose its function after short-term use. In the following, the level of the voltage source VDD is recorded as VDDN in the normal operation mode and VDDbi in the warm-up mode. However, the warm-up test may cause damage to the chip with the voltage generator. In particular, some integrated circuit chips with voltage generators, and the voltage generators of these chips generate negative voltage to generate back-bias, which is used to control the threshold voltage of N-channel field effect transistors (NFETs). . This negative voltage source is generally represented by VBB. VBB is sometimes referred to as a negative substrate voltage source ___ 4 ____ This paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) at 402802 B7 V. > (Negative substrate supply voltage) and provide A positive voltage source VDD coexists, and the high-level voltage source VDDBI of the warm-up test may cause damage to some transistors on the wafer, because the voltage level has exceeded the breakdown voltage of the transistor. What's more, some chips have a voltage source with a boosted voltage, which can make the level of the voltage source higher than the supplied voltage source VDD. As a result, the drowning situation of the transistor on the wafer is worsened. One of the traditional solutions is to adjust the level of the negative voltage source VBB to a smaller level VBBbi during the warm-up test as shown in Figure 1. This reduces the influence of the high-voltage level VDDBI in the warm-up test, and prevents the transistor from collapsing. Printed by the Ministry of Economic Affairs' Central Consumer Cooperatives (please read the notes on the back before filling this page) The traditional voltage adjustment system 10 includes a voltage sensing circuit (VSC) 11 and a buffer circuit 12 for normal mode. The buffer circuit 12 has an output terminal connected to an input terminal of the multiplexer 13. The voltage sensing circuit 11 is used to detect whether the negative voltage source VBB has reached a predetermined voltage value of the normal operating mode. In normal operating mode, the VBB voltage is about half of the voltage source VDD voltage, that is, VBB = -VDD / 2. When the voltage value of the negative voltage source VBB reaches the threshold voltage of the predetermined normal operating mode, the voltage sensing circuit 11 sends a confirmation signal VLDN, which is transmitted to the multiplexer 13 through the buffer circuit 12. The voltage adjustment system 10 further includes a use The voltage sensing circuit (BI VSC) 15 in the warm-up test mode and the voltage buffer circuit 16 are also connected to the multiplexer 13. The voltage sensing circuit 15 is used to detect whether the negative voltage source VBB has reached a threshold voltage value of a predetermined warm-up test mode. The threshold voltage value of the warm-up test mode is higher than the threshold voltage value of the normal mode. 5 This paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210: < 297 mm) 402 ^ 0 ^ Central Standard of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A7 B7 printed by the Bureau ’s Consumer Cooperative Fifth, the invention description (>) is more negative. When the voltage value of the negative voltage source VBB reaches the threshold voltage of the predetermined warm-up test mode, the voltage sensing circuit 15 sends a confirmation signal VLDBI, which is transmitted to the multiplexer 13 through the buffer circuit 16. The multiplexer 13 has an output terminal connected to the charge pump (CP) 19, and a selection terminal receiving a control signal BI of the warm-up test mode. The control signal for the general warm-up test mode is provided by the test mode register (not shown in Figure 1) on the chip, and the content of the register is controlled by an external test instrument (not shown in the figure). During the warm-up test, the control signal will cause the voltage adjustment system 10 to enter the warm-up test mode. In addition, the detection circuit on the chip will be used to verify the control signal BI and when to enter the warm-up test mode. FIG. 2 is a timing diagram of the voltage adjustment system 10 when the power is turned on. The voltage level of the negative voltage source VBB is represented by waveform 21 in the figure, and the control signal BI is represented by waveform 23.

At the same time, the voltage sensing signal VLDh, that is, VLDb ^ is an analog signal ', but for the sake of convenience of explanation, it is shown as a digital signal in FIG. In this embodiment, the voltage source of the voltage adjustment system 10 is 3 volts, VBB is -1.5 V in the normal mode, and VBB is -1.0 V in the warm-up test. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2. If the power of this chip is turned on in the warm-up test mode, the voltage sensing circuits 11 and 15 will send non-confirmation (de- assert) f, that is, VLDn and 乂 1 ^ 1 are logic high. In the warm-up test mode, the signal bi is confirmed (logic high potential), so the multiplexer 13 selects the buffer circuit 16 __6 This paper size is applicable to China's CNS) Α4ί 见 格 — (2 「0X297mm1 * ( Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page).

In the warm-up test mode It is the same as the signal VUk. VLD with a high potential. The signal will cause the voltage pump 19 to operate and increase the voltage of the negative voltage source VBB to a negative value. Therefore, the voltage waveform 21 at the beginning is a negative slope waveform starting from zero voltage and starting from zero. The curve at the beginning of the voltage is recorded as 2h. When the voltage of the negative voltage source VBB reaches -1.0V (that is, the threshold voltage value of VBB in the warm-up test mode), the voltage sensing circuit makes the sensing signal Vldbi confirm Signal (ie, logic low), so that the signal VLD. Becomes a logic low 'as indicated by the symbols 2h and 27! In Figure 2. This logic low signal VLD0 stops the voltage pump 19, so the negative voltage source VBB The potential is maintained near _ 1.0V 'As shown by waveform 213.

As described above, when the voltage of the voltage source VBB does not reach the VBB threshold voltage of the normal operating mode, the voltage sensing circuit 11 outputs a non-confirmed signal VLDN. Therefore, when the signal BI is a logic low potential, the non-confirmed The signal is the signal VLD. It is also non-confirmed, as shown by 23 in Figure 2. In the normal working mode, the threshold voltage of the negative voltage source VBB is more negative than the voltage in the warm-up test mode. Then the charge pump 19 is activated, so that the voltage of the negative voltage source VBB increases to a negative value as shown in 2h in the figure. When the voltage value of the negative voltage source VBB reaches the threshold voltage of the normal working mode, the voltage sensing circuit 11 sends a confirmation signal and follows many The output signal VLD of the device 13.

Explanation of the invention (/) The signal will stop the charge pump 19, so that the voltage of the negative voltage source VBB is maintained at the VBB threshold voltage of the normal working mode, in this case about -1. 5V As indicated by 2h in Figure 2. However, there is a problem in this traditional solution, that is, the extra circuit required for the separate warm-up test mode occupies valuable chip area, and if this part of the chip area can be extra, it can be used for other circuits. Therefore, the inventor of the present invention proposes a circuit that can detect the VBB threshold voltage of the normal mode and the warm-up test mode, which can minimize the required chip area. Brief description of the invention: The present invention proposes a voltage source adjustment system suitable for a wafer, which can provide different voltage sources to different working modes in different operating modes. In one embodiment, a voltage sensing circuit (VSC) and a settable buffer circuit (CBC) are included to adjust the voltage generator on the chip. The settable buffer circuit generates an output signal to the voltage generator on the chip. To control the operation of the voltage generator. The voltage sensing circuit (VSC) generates a detected voltage level VLD signal, and the level can be the function level of the voltage generator on the chip. The buffer circuit (CBC) can be set to receive the signal for controlling the working mode and the detection signal VLD from the voltage sensing circuit. The response of the settable buffer circuit to the control signal is to preset a voltage level in the settable buffer circuit relative to the selected working mode. Especially for an excitation level of different working modes, a buffer circuit can be set to enable the voltage generator on the chip to generate a corresponding voltage source voltage in different working modes. The adjustable voltage source system on the wafer disclosed by the present invention has the advantage of making the aforementioned traditional _ 8 (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) t -β Dimensions of this paper are applicable to Chinese National Standards (CNS) A4 Zhuge (210x297 mm) Printed by the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs for consumer cooperation and printing of 402802 A7 _B7 V. Description of the invention (G) The technology is simpler, so it can save integrated circuit chips compared to traditional voltage source adjustment technology area. In addition, the technology of the present invention can further reduce the power consumption, because the technology of this case can reduce one voltage sensing circuit, and usually the voltage sensing circuit needs to consume a large amount of power. One of the features of the present invention is that a buffer circuit can be set (CBC) uses a settable pull-up circuit, which can change the threshold of the threshold voltage. This configurable pull-up circuit is used to boost the voltage of an internal node, and then the output signal can control the action or non-action of the voltage generator. In one of the operation modes, the pull-up circuit strongly boosts the node voltage to make the snubber circuit different between the other operation modes and thereby change the threshold voltage. In another case, the settable buffer circuit in the present invention may also include a pull-down circuit to achieve the same effect.

Description of Invention () Canada. If the strength of the pull-up path is greater than the strength of the pull-down path, the excitation point of the inverter will be a higher level of positive voltage value. If the strength of the pull-down path is greater than the strength of the pull-up path, the excitation point of the inverter will be a positive voltage at a lower level. The above technique for changing the excitation point has long been known in integrated circuits. The present invention uses this concept to change the level of the excitation point of the settable buffer circuit 32. The P-channel field-effect transistors P77 and P78 form a selective pull-up path parallel to the P-channel field-effect transistor P74 to change the pull-up of an inverter composed of a programmable pull-up circuit 51 and a pull-down circuit 53 The strength of the ascent path. In the warm-up test mode, the control signal BI is a confirmation signal, so that the inverter 73 outputs a logic low level signal to the P-channel field effect transistor P77. Therefore, the path formed by the P-channel field-effect transistor P77 and the P-channel field-effect transistor P78 between the voltage source VDD and the node 57 is turned on. The pull-up path is strengthened 'so that the excitation point of the inverter composed of the settable pull-up circuit 51 and the pull-down circuit 53 (i.e., N-channel field effect transistor N75) is increased. The size of the P-channel field effect transistors P77 and P78 in the pull-up circuit 51 can be set. The appropriate size can be obtained in advance through the conditions of the simulated warm-up test mode, so that the voltage at which the excitation point can correspond to the negative voltage source is -1. 0V ° Figure 8 is a timing diagram for explaining the operation of the circuit disclosed in Figure 7. The voltage level of the sensing signal VLD generated by the voltage sensing circuit 11 and the threshold voltage Vsr of the settable buffer circuit 32 are respectively represented by waveforms 81 and 83 in the figure. Please refer to Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 '. When the power is turned on and enters the warm-up test mode, the charge pump 19 (in Fig. 3) will increase the voltage of the negative voltage source VBB to a negative value as shown by the arrow 211 in Fig. In the warm-up test mode, '19 paper sizes can be set to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 male — ------; ------- ^ ------ J-- --- ά.

Description of the invention (丨; 7) The pull-up circuit (CPUC) 51 makes The pull-up path formed by the P-channel field-effect transistors P77 and P78 is enabled, so the threshold voltage Vsr (that is, the aforementioned threshold voltage switching point or excitation point) is a higher level such as an arrow Therefore, the voltage level of the sensing signal VLD in the initial state is higher than the threshold voltage excitation point of the settable buffer circuit 32, so that the signal VLD generated by the buffer circuit 32 can be set. It is a logic high level When the voltage of the negative voltage source VBB reaches -1. GV, the voltage level of the sensing signal VLD will reach the threshold voltage excitation point of the settable buffer circuit 32 in the warm-up test mode, so that the output of the buffer circuit 32 can be set The signal VLD. Is a logic low level, and the logic low level VLD. Signal causes the charge pump 19 to stop operating. In this way, the voltage value of the negative voltage source VBB can be approximately -1.0V, as indicated by the arrow 213 in the figure. In the normal working mode, the control signal BI is an unconfirmed control signal, so that it is inverted The device 73 outputs a logic high level signal to the P-channel field effect transistor P77. Therefore, the path formed by the P-channel field effect transistor P77 and the P-channel field effect transistor P78 is cut off between the voltage source VDD and the node 57 So in fact, the P-channel field effect transistors P77 and P78 will not affect the threshold voltage excitation point of the settable buffer circuit 32, that is, the excitation point is only related to the field effect transistors P74 and N75 at this time. In particular, The field effect transistors P74 and N75 and the P-channel field effect transistor in the voltage sensing circuit 11 are pre-designed so that the voltage of the negative voltage source VBB is exactly -1.5 V, in the normal working mode. The buffer circuit 32 can be set to exactly reach the threshold of its threshold voltage.

Description of the invention (if) The buffer circuit 32 is in normal working mode. Among them, the P-channel field effect transistors P77 and P78 of the settable pull-up circuit 51 fail, causing the threshold voltage VsT to be a lower level, as shown by the arrow 85 and the waveform 832 in FIG. 8. Because the threshold voltage threshold is low at this time, the output signal VLD of the buffer circuit 32 can be set. A transition phenomenon from a low level to a high level will occur as shown by the arrow 86 in the figure. This signal will make the charge pump 19 again. start. Finally, the voltage value of the negative voltage source VBB changes as shown by waveform 214 in the figure. When the voltage value of the negative voltage source VBB reaches -1.5V, the voltage level of the sensing signal VLD will reach the normal working mode. The threshold voltage excitation point of the buffer circuit 32 can be set, so that the output signal VLD of the buffer circuit 32 can be set. . The charge pump 19 is stopped for a logic low level. Therefore, the voltage value of the negative voltage source VBB will be maintained at approximately -1.5V as shown by the waveform 216 in Figure 8 ". In summary, the VLD generated by the buffer circuit 32 can be set. The signal is basically equivalent to the signal VLD in Figure 1. However, the present invention uses fewer circuits.

In this embodiment, the settable buffer circuit 90 replaces the settable buffer circuit 32 in Fig. 7. The difference is that a settable pull-down path replaces the pull-up path. However, the basic concepts of the two are the same; that is, increasing the strength of the pull-up relative to the pull-down can increase the threshold voltage excitation point of the complementary metal oxide semiconductor inverter to a higher level.

Description of the Invention (I) The pull-down circuit 63 (consisting of N-channel field effect transistors N75, N91-N93) and pull-up circuit 61 (Composed of P-channel field effect transistor P74). The difference from the embodiment of FIG. 7 is that the source of the N-channel field effect transistor N75 is connected to the node 95 instead of the ground potential. Node 95 is also connected to the drains of N-channel field effect transistors N91 and N92. In addition, unlike the settable buffer circuit 32 of FIG. 7, the output terminal of the inverter is connected to the gate of the N-channel field effect transistor N91 instead of the P-channel field effect transistor P77. The internal connection relationship of the buffer circuit 90 can be set as follows: the source of the N-channel field effect transistor N91 is connected to the ground potential. The gate and source of the N-channel field effect transistor N92 are connected to the connection 34 to receive the signal VLD, and the drain of the N-channel field effect transistor N93. The gate and source of the N-channel field effect transistor N93 are connected to the connection 36 to receive the signal BI and the ground potential. In addition, the difference from the settable buffer circuit 32 of FIG. 7 is that in this embodiment, the strength of the settable path is changed by changing the effective channel length of the path instead of enabling / disabling. ) —A parallel channel path. Of course, the method using the parallel path can also be applied to other embodiments in which the pull-down circuit 63 can be set. Similarly, the method in which the path length can be set can also be used in other embodiments in which the pull-up circuit 51 can be set. The threshold voltage excitation point of the settable buffer circuit 90 may be slightly different from the settable buffer circuit 32 of FIG. 7, so the voltage sensing circuit 11 may need to be adjusted to meet the required requirements. In the warm-up test mode, the control signal BI is a confirmation signal, so the N-channel field-effect transistor N93 is turned on through the inverter 73, and the N-channel field-effect transistor _ __22___ This paper standard applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 Specifications (2 丨 OX297mm) ^ ---- install -------- ^ tTJ ----- line (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) A7 402802 V. Description of the invention (/) Crystal N91 is off. As a result, in the warm-up test mode, the N-channel field effect transistors N75, N92, and N93 form a pull-down path. The pull-down path has a considerable effective channel length. Therefore, in the warm-up test mode, the strength of the pull-down path is relatively weak, so that the buffer circuit 90 can be set to have a higher threshold voltage excitation point. In contrast, in the normal operating mode, the control signal BI is a non-confirmation signal, so the N-channel field effect transistor N91 is turned on through the inverter 73, and the N-channel field effect transistor N93 is turned off. As a result, in the normal operating mode, the N-channel field effect transistors N75 and N91 form a pull-down path. Because there are only two electric crystals, the pull-down path has a shorter effective channel length compared to the warm-up test mode. Therefore, in the normal working mode, the strength of the pull-down path is strong, so that the buffer circuit 90 can be set to have a lower threshold voltage excitation point. Based on the above, it can be known that, for the signals VLD and BI, the settable buffer circuit 90 provides a function similar to that of the settable buffer circuit 30 in FIG. 7, and both generate the signal VLD. . The above description of the detailed embodiment of the dynamic adjusting voltage source device used in the integrated circuit of the present invention is not intended to limit the structure of the present invention. Through the above disclosure of the present invention, anyone skilled in this type of technology can apply the technology of the present invention to other types of voltage source supply devices, such as positive voltage source supply devices. Of course, there are other different voltage sensing circuits that can also be applied to other different embodiments. In addition, other known logic circuits can also be used to implement the previously settable voltage buffer circuits 32 and 90. Of course, the relationship between the control signal (such as signal BI) logic high-potential action or low-potential action can be interchanged.
