Description
本發明涉及積體電路領域,特別涉及一種靜電保護裝置。The present invention relates to the field of integrated circuits, and in particular to an electrostatic protection device.
眾所周知,靜電放電(ESD,Electrostatic Discharge)瞬間產生的高壓會給積體電路的內部電路造成損壞。為了避免該靜電帶來的損壞,一般在積體電路設計中,均會設置靜電保護電路。該靜電保護電路包括用於給上述內部電路提供供電電壓的電源線、地線、開關單元及連接電源線的偵測單元,該開關單元連接於電源線與地線之間。當電源線上存在靜電時,該偵測單元即產生控制訊號給開關電路,以控制開關電路導通,將電源線上的靜電電壓導向地線而吸收,從而有效地防止靜電電壓對內部電路造成電壓衝擊。It is well known that the high voltage generated instantaneously by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can cause damage to the internal circuits of the integrated circuit. In order to avoid the damage caused by the static electricity, an electrostatic protection circuit is generally provided in the integrated circuit design. The electrostatic protection circuit includes a power line, a ground line, a switch unit and a detecting unit for connecting a power line for supplying a power supply voltage to the internal circuit, and the switch unit is connected between the power line and the ground. When there is static electricity on the power line, the detecting unit generates a control signal to the switch circuit to control the switch circuit to conduct, and the electrostatic voltage on the power line is absorbed to the ground line, thereby effectively preventing the electrostatic voltage from causing a voltage shock to the internal circuit.
然而,由於電磁干擾等原因會使電源線上產生電壓值比供電電壓大的雜訊電壓(Noise Voltage)。通常,該雜訊電壓相對於靜電電壓較小,例如,當供電電壓為10V,電源線上產生的雜訊電壓通常不會超過20V,而靜電電壓通常會有數百伏特、數千伏特甚至數萬伏特。由於上述雜訊電壓也可能觸發偵測單元產生控制訊號,使開關電路導通,導致電源線被接地,積體電路的內部電路便不能獲得供電電壓,因而使得積體電路在無靜電的情況下不能正常工作。However, due to electromagnetic interference or the like, a noise voltage having a voltage value larger than the supply voltage is generated on the power supply line. Generally, the noise voltage is relatively small with respect to the electrostatic voltage. For example, when the power supply voltage is 10V, the noise voltage generated on the power line usually does not exceed 20V, and the electrostatic voltage usually has hundreds of volts, thousands of volts, or even tens of thousands. volt. Since the above noise voltage may also trigger the detecting unit to generate a control signal, the switching circuit is turned on, causing the power line to be grounded, and the internal circuit of the integrated circuit cannot obtain the power supply voltage, thereby making the integrated circuit unable to be in the absence of static electricity. normal work.
有鑒於此,有必要提供一種防止靜電且屏蔽雜訊電壓的靜電保護裝置。In view of this, it is necessary to provide an electrostatic protection device that prevents static electricity and shields noise voltage.

The electrostatic protection device comprises a voltage dividing circuit, a reference voltage circuit, a comparison circuit and a switching circuit, wherein the voltage dividing circuit is configured to divide a voltage supplied from the power line to generate a sampling voltage, and the reference voltage circuit is configured to receive the power a voltage supplied by the line to generate a reference voltage, the comparison circuit is configured to compare the sampling voltage with a reference voltage, and output a first level signal to the switching circuit when the sampling voltage is greater than the reference voltage, the switching circuit is according to the first The level signal is turned on to connect the power line to the ground line, and the comparison circuit outputs a second level signal to the switch circuit when the sampling voltage is less than the reference voltage, and the switch circuit is turned off according to the second level signal to cut off the power supply. Electrical connection between the line and the ground.
上述靜電保護裝置,通過設置比較電路及基準電壓電路,當取樣電壓大於基準電壓,即電源線上存在靜電電壓時,比較電路即控制開關電路導通以將電源線與地線連接,從而可將靜電電壓接地而吸收。當電源線上存在雜訊電壓時,基準電壓電路產生的基準電壓將大於取樣電壓,比較電路即控制開關電路關斷以切斷電源線與地線之間的電性連接,從而可實現對雜訊電壓的屏蔽。The electrostatic protection device is configured to provide a comparison circuit and a reference voltage circuit. When the sampling voltage is greater than the reference voltage, that is, when there is an electrostatic voltage on the power line, the comparison circuit controls the switch circuit to be connected to connect the power line to the ground line, thereby enabling the electrostatic voltage Absorbed by grounding. When there is a noise voltage on the power line, the reference voltage generated by the reference voltage circuit will be greater than the sampling voltage, and the comparison circuit controls the switch circuit to be turned off to cut off the electrical connection between the power line and the ground line, thereby realizing the noise.

如圖1所示為一較佳實施方式的靜電保護裝置100的功能模組圖。該靜電保護裝置100包括分壓電路10、基準電壓電路20、比較電路30及開關電路40。本實施方式中,靜電保護裝置100應用於積體電路中。FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of a static protection device 100 according to a preferred embodiment. The electrostatic protection device 100 includes a voltage dividing circuit 10, a reference voltage circuit 20, a comparison circuit 30, and a switching circuit 40. In the present embodiment, the electrostatic protection device 100 is applied to an integrated circuit.
分壓電路10用於對電源線VDD 提供的供電電壓VDD 進行取樣,以產生一取樣電壓,該取樣電壓的電壓值隨著供電電壓VDD 的變化而改變。Dividing circuit 10 for supplying power voltage V DD of the power supply line V DD supplied sampled to produce a sampled voltage, the voltage value of the sampled voltage with changes in the supply voltage V DD varies.

By adjusting the resistance of the resistor and the channel length and channel width of the MOS field effect transistor, the reference voltage generated by the reference voltage circuit 20 is preset to be larger than the sampling generated by the voltage divider circuit 10 for dividing the noise voltage. Voltage.
比較電路30用於接收基準電壓電路20產生的參考電壓以上電工作。比較電路30還用於接收取樣電壓及基準電壓,並將取樣電壓與基準電壓進行比較。當取樣電壓大於基準電壓,即電源線VDD 上存在靜電時,比較電路30產生第一電平訊號給開關電路40。當取樣電壓小於或等於基準電壓時,比較電路30產生第二電平訊號給開關電路40。在本實施方式中,第一電平訊號為高電平電壓訊號,第二電平訊號為低電平電壓訊號。The comparison circuit 30 is configured to receive the reference voltage generated by the reference voltage circuit 20 for electrical operation. The comparison circuit 30 is further configured to receive the sampled voltage and the reference voltage and compare the sampled voltage with a reference voltage. When the sampling voltage is greater than the reference voltage, i.e., there is static electricity on the power line V DD , the comparison circuit 30 generates a first level signal to the switching circuit 40. When the sampling voltage is less than or equal to the reference voltage, the comparison circuit 30 generates a second level signal to the switching circuit 40.

The switch circuit 40 is further configured to turn off according to the second level signal to cut off the electrical connection between the power line V DD and the ground line V SS . If there is a noise voltage on the power line V DD , the switching circuit 40 is turned off because the reference voltage generated by the reference voltage circuit 20 is preset to be larger than the sampling voltage generated by the voltage dividing circuit 10 to divide the noise voltage. In the state, the power line V DD is not grounded, and it can still supply the supply voltage V DD , thus effectively avoiding the influence of the noise voltage on the circuit.

該靜電保護裝置100的工作原理如下:對於分壓電路10,第一NMOS場效應電晶體12的柵極與汲極連接在一起,即VGS =VDS ,VDS (飽和)=VGS -VT =VDS -VT ,由於VDS >VDS (飽和)=VDS -VT ,確保第一NMOS場效應電晶體12工作於飽和區,因此第一NMOS場效應電晶體12的汲極電流Id =kW1 /2L1 *(VGS1 -VT )2 =kW1 /2L1 *(VDS1 -VT )2 ,取樣電壓VSmp 為:The working principle of the electrostatic protection device 100 is as follows: for the voltage dividing circuit 10, the gate of the first NMOS field effect transistor 12 is connected to the drain, that is, V GS = V DS , V DS (saturation) = V GS -V T =V DS -V T , since V DS >V DS (saturation)=V DS -V T , ensuring that the first NMOS field effect transistor 12 operates in a saturation region, thus the first NMOS field effect transistor 12 The drain current I d = kW 1 /2L 1 * (V GS1 - V T ) 2 = kW 1 /2L 1 * (V DS1 - V T ) 2 , the sampling voltage V Smp is:
其中VT 為閾值電壓,k為跨導系數,L1 、W1 分別為第一NMOS場效應電晶體12的溝道長度及溝道寬度,上述參數均為常量,Id 為汲極電流。式1-1中,為λ=0條件下的取樣電壓VSmp ,其中λ為溝道長度調節系數。Where V T is the threshold voltage, k is the transconductance coefficient, and L 1 and W 1 are the channel length and the channel width of the first NMOS field effect transistor 12, respectively, and the above parameters are constant, and I d is the drain current. In Equation 1-1, the sampling voltage V Smp under the condition of λ = 0, where λ is the channel length adjustment coefficient.
由於第一NMOS場效應電晶體12、第一PMOS場效應電晶體14、第二PMOS場效應電晶體15及第三PMOS場效應電晶體16串聯連接在一起,因此第一NMOS場效應電晶體12、第一PMOS場效應電晶體14、第二PMOS場效應電晶體15與第三PMOS場效應電晶體16的汲極電流都相等,均為Id 。Since the first NMOS field effect transistor 12, the first PMOS field effect transistor 14, the second PMOS field effect transistor 15, and the third PMOS field effect transistor 16 are connected in series, the first NMOS field effect transistor 12 The first PMOS field effect transistor 14, the second PMOS field effect transistor 15 and the third PMOS field effect transistor 16 have the same drain current, both of which are Id .
第三PMOS場效應電晶體16的柵極與汲極連接在一起,確保第三PMOS場效應電晶體16工作於飽和區,在λ=0的條件下,第三PMOS場效應電晶體16的汲極電流Id 為:The gate of the third PMOS field effect transistor 16 is connected to the drain to ensure that the third PMOS field effect transistor 16 operates in the saturation region. Under the condition of λ=0, the PMOS of the third PMOS field effect transistor 16 The pole current I d is:
Id =kW2 /2L2 *(VGS2 -VT )2 =kW2 /2L2 *(VDS2 -VT )2 1-2I d = kW 2 /2L 2 *(V GS2 -V T ) 2 = kW 2 /2L 2 *(V DS2 -V T ) 2 1-2
其中L2 、W2 分別為第三PMOS場效應電晶體16的溝道長度及溝道寬度,將式1-2代入式1-1中得Wherein L 2 and W 2 are the channel length and the channel width of the third PMOS field effect transistor 16, respectively, and the formula 1-2 is substituted into the formula 1-1.
當電源線VDD 上存在電壓值大於供電電壓VDD 的雜訊電壓時,第三PMOS場效應電晶體16的漏源電壓VDS2 會增大,因而導致取樣電壓VSmp 增大。由於電源線VDD 產生的雜訊電壓VNoise 通常都不會太大,假設VNoise 具有一最大值VNmax ,相應地分壓電路10對該雜訊電壓VNoise 分壓所產生的取樣電壓VSmp 也會達到其最大值VSmax 。When there is a noise voltage on the power line V DD that is greater than the supply voltage V DD , the drain-source voltage V DS2 of the third PMOS field effect transistor 16 increases, thereby causing the sampling voltage V Smp to increase. Since the noise voltage V Noise generated by the power line V DD is generally not too large, it is assumed that V Noise has a maximum value V Nmax , and correspondingly the sampling voltage generated by the voltage dividing circuit 10 to divide the noise voltage V Noise V Smp will also reach its maximum value V Smax .
當電源線VDD 上存在靜電時,該靜電電壓很大,因此分壓電路10對該靜電電壓進行分壓所產生的取樣電壓VSmp 會遠大於VSmax 。When static electricity is present on the power line V DD , the electrostatic voltage is large, and therefore the sampling voltage V Smp generated by the voltage dividing circuit 10 to divide the electrostatic voltage is much larger than V Smax .
對於基準電壓電路20,由於MOS場效應電晶體27、28構成電流鏡,因此流過MOS場效應電晶體27、28的汲極電流係相等的,均為I2 。MOS場效應電晶體22、24及電阻R1構成一個回路,MOS場效應電晶體22的柵-源電壓VGS5 與MOS場效應電晶體24的柵-源電壓VGS6 有如下關係:VGS6 =VGS5 +I2 *R1,即In the reference voltage circuit 20, since the MOS field effect transistors 27 and 28 constitute a current mirror, the drain currents flowing through the MOS field effect transistors 27 and 28 are equal, and both are I 2 . The MOS field effect transistors 22, 24 and the resistor R1 form a loop. The gate-source voltage V GS5 of the MOS field effect transistor 22 has the following relationship with the gate-source voltage V GS6 of the MOS field effect transistor 24: V GS6 =V GS5 +I 2 *R1, ie
因此,汲極電流I2 =2/(K*R12 )*(L6 /W6 -L5 /W5 ),基準電壓VRef 為:Therefore, the drain current I 2 = 2 / (K * R1 2 ) * (L 6 / W 6 - L 5 / W 5 ), the reference voltage V Ref is:
其中,VT 為閾值電壓,k為跨導系數,L5 、W5 分別為MOS場效應電晶體22的溝道長度及溝道寬度,L6 、W6 分別為MOS場效應電晶體24的溝道長度及溝道寬度,上述參數均為常量。因此,基準電壓VRef 為一固定電壓值,其不隨電源線VDD 提供的電壓VDD 的變化而改變。Wherein, V T is a threshold voltage, k is a transconductance coefficient, L 5 and W 5 are respectively a channel length and a channel width of the MOS field effect transistor 22, and L 6 and W 6 are respectively MOS field effect transistors 24 The channel length and channel width are all constant. Therefore, the reference voltage V Ref is a fixed voltage value that does not change with the change in the voltage V DD supplied from the power supply line V DD .
可預先藉由改變電阻R1的阻值、MOS場效應電晶體22的溝道長度L5 、溝道寬度W5 以及MOS場效應電晶體24的溝道長度L6 、溝道寬度W6 ,以實現對基準電壓VRef 的調節,且使基準電壓VRef 大於取樣電壓VSmp 的最大值VSmax ,即VRef >VSmax 。另外,基準電壓電路20產生的參考電壓VB 為低電平電壓。The resistance value of the resistor R1, the channel length L 5 of the MOS field effect transistor 22, the channel width W 5 , and the channel length L 6 of the MOS field effect transistor 24 and the channel width W 6 may be changed in advance. The adjustment of the reference voltage V Ref is achieved such that the reference voltage V Ref is greater than the maximum value V Smax of the sampling voltage V Smp , ie V Ref >V Smax .

對於比較電路30,當電源線VDD 產生雜訊電壓時,由於取樣電壓VSmp 小於基準電壓VRef ,即VRef >VSmax ,因此第七PMOS場效應電晶體37導通,使得第八NMOS場效應電晶體35的柵極為高電平電壓,第八NMOS場效應電晶體35導通,開關單元40中NMOS場效應電晶體42的柵極為低電平電壓,NMOS場效應電晶體42截止,因而電源線VDD 沒有被接地,其仍然可提供供電電壓VDD ,因而保證了積體電路在無靜電的情況下可正常工作。For the comparison circuit 30, when the power supply line V DD generates a noise voltage, since the sampling voltage V Smp is smaller than the reference voltage V Ref , that is, V Ref >V Smax , the seventh PMOS field effect transistor 37 is turned on, so that the eighth NMOS field The gate of the effect transistor 35 is a high level voltage, the eighth NMOS field effect transistor 35 is turned on, the gate of the NMOS field effect transistor 42 in the switching unit 40 is a low level voltage, and the NMOS field effect transistor 42 is turned off, thereby power supply The line V DD is not grounded, it still provides the supply voltage V DD , thus ensuring that the integrated circuit can operate normally without static electricity.
