Description

電源開關電路及電壓選擇電路
本發明是有關於一種電源開關電路,特別是一種能夠減少漏電流的電源開關電路。
由於電子電路的功能日益複雜,電子電路常需要不同的電壓來執行不同的操作。舉例來說,非揮發性記憶體電路除了需要使用系統電壓來執行讀取操作,也需要使用較高的電壓來執行寫入操作。在此情況下,常會利用電源開關電路來及時切換操作所需的電壓。
在先前技術中,電源開關電路常設計成能夠將最高的輸入電壓作為輸出電壓來輸出。然而,用來執行寫入操作的高電壓常是由電荷泵所產生,而電荷泵在將電壓提升至目標電位的過程則需要花費不少時間。因此,倘若在電荷泵的升壓過程中,電源開關電路所接收到的輸入電壓剛好處在接近的電位,電源開關電路就會陷入不穩定的狀態,並產生可觀的漏電流。
本發明的一實施例提供一種電源開關電路。電源開關電路包含輸出 端、電壓選擇電路、電壓移位電路及電晶體。
輸出端輸出輸出電壓。電壓選擇電路包含主選擇單元、第一再比較單元及第二再比較單元。主選擇單元具有第一電壓端、第二電壓端及輸出端,主選擇單元的第一電壓端接收第一可變電壓,主選擇單元的第二電壓端接收第二可變電壓,而主選擇單元的輸出端輸出第一可變電壓及第二可變電壓中較大之一者以作為操作電壓。第一再比較單元根據操作電壓及第一可變電壓中較大的一者調整操作電壓。第二再比較單元根據操作電壓及第二可變電壓中較大的一者調整操作電壓。
電壓移位電路耦接於電壓選擇電路,電壓移位電路根據第一輸入訊號輸出控制訊號。電晶體具有第一端、第二端及控制端,電晶體的第一端接收第一可變電壓或第二可變電壓,電晶體的第二端耦接於電源開關電路的輸出端,而電晶體的控制端耦接於電壓移位電路以接收控制訊號。
本發明的另實施例提供一種電壓選擇電路。電壓選擇電路包含主選擇單元、第一再比較單元及第二再比較單元。
主選擇單元具有第一電壓端、第二電壓端及輸出端,主選擇單元的第一電壓端接收第一可變電壓,主選擇單元的第二電壓端接收第二可變電壓,而主選擇單元的輸出端輸出第一可變電壓及第二可變電壓中較大之一者以作為操作電壓。第一再比較單元根據操作電壓及第一可變電壓中較大的一者調整操作電壓。第二再比較單元根據操作電壓及第二可變電壓中較大的一者調整操作電壓。

第1圖是本發明一實施例的電源開關電路的示意圖。
第2圖是本發明另一實施例的電源開關電路的示意圖。
第1圖是本發明一實施例的電源開關電路100的示意圖。電源開關電路100包含輸出端OUT、電壓選擇電路110、電壓移位電路120及電晶體M1A。
電壓選擇電路110可接收第一可變電壓VV1及第二可變電壓VV2,並且可以輸出第一可變電壓VV1及第二可變電壓VV2中較大的一者以作為操作電壓VOP。
電壓選擇電路110包含主選擇單元112、第一再比較單元114及第二再比較單元116。主選擇單元112具有第一電壓端、第二電壓端及輸出端,主選擇單元112的第一電壓端可接收第一可變電壓VV1,主選擇單元112的第二電壓端可接收第二可變電壓VV2,而主選擇單元112的輸出端可輸出第一可變電壓VV1及第二可變電壓VV2中較大的一者以作為操作電壓VOP。
電壓移位電路120可耦接至電壓選擇電路110,並可根據輸入訊號SIGIN1輸出控制訊號SIGctrl1
在有些實施例中,電晶體M1A可以是P型電晶體。電晶體M1A具有第一端、第二端及控制端,電晶體M1A的第一端可接收第一可變電壓VV1,電晶體M1A的第二端可耦接至電源開關電路100的輸出端OUT,而電晶體M1A的控制端可耦接至電壓移位電路120以接收控制訊號SIGctrl1。在此情況下,電源開關電路100可以根據輸入訊號SIGIN1並透過其輸出端OUT輸出第一可變電壓VV1以作為輸出電壓Vout。
舉例來說,當欲利用電源開關電路100輸出第一可變電壓VV1以作為輸出電壓Vout時,輸入訊號SIGIN1可以處在第一參考電壓VSS。在有些實施例中,第一參考電壓VSS可以是系統中的地電壓。在此情況下,電壓移位電路120將會 使控制訊號SIGctrl1保持在第一參考電壓VSS,使得電晶體M1A被導通以輸出第一可變電壓VV1以作為輸出電壓Vout。然而,當輸入訊號SIGIN1處在系統中的第二參考電壓VDD時,電壓移位電路120則會將控制訊號SIGctrl1提升至操作電壓VOP,使得電晶體M1A被截止。如此一來,電源開關電路100就不會將第一可變電壓VV1輸出以作為輸出電壓Vout。
再者,在有些實施例中,雖然主選擇單元112可用以選擇第一可變電壓VV1及第二可變電壓VV2中較大的一者來作為操作電壓VOP輸出,然而當第一可變電壓VV1及第二可變電壓VV2實質上相等時,主選擇單元112就可能會變得不穩定。舉例來說,第一可變電壓VV1可以是由電荷泵產生的,而第二可變電壓VV2可以是系統中既有的電壓,例如但不限於相同於第二參考電壓VDD。在此情況下,第二可變電壓VV2在電荷泵開始產生第一可變電壓VV1之前就會先達到穩態,此時第一可變電壓VV1會小於第二可變電壓VV2。然而,在電荷泵被致能後,第一可變電壓VV1會逐漸升高而從小於第二可變電壓VV2變成大於第二可變電壓VV2。
在此情況下,在第一可變電壓VV1的電壓變化過程中,當第一可變電壓VV1變成與第二可變電壓VV2實質上相等時,操作電壓VOP會比第一可變電壓VV1還要小一個電晶體P1A的臨界電壓。因此,電壓移位電路120將無法使控制訊號SIGctrl1提升到足以將電晶體M1A有效截止的電壓,進而產生漏電流。
為減少因操作電壓VOP不穩定而造成的漏電流,第一再比較單元114及第二再比較單元116可用來調整操作電壓VOP。第一再比較單元114可以根據操作電壓VOP及第一可變電壓VV1中較大的一者來調整操作電壓VOP,而第二再比較單元116可以根據操作電壓VOP及第二可變電壓VV2中較大的一者來調整操作電壓VOP。在此情況下,每當操作電壓VOP在不穩定的狀況下變成比第一可變電壓VV1小或者比第二可變電壓VV2小的時候,第一再比較單元114及第二 再比較單元116便將可操作電壓VOP調整至第一可變電壓VV1或第二可變電壓VV2,使得電晶體M1A能夠被確實截止以減少漏電流產生。
在第1圖中,主選擇單元112可包含P型電晶體P1A及P2A。P型電晶體P1A具有第一端、第二端及控制端,P型電晶體P1A的第一端可耦接至主選擇單元112的第一電壓端,P型電晶體P1A的第二端可耦接至主選擇單元112的輸出端,而P型電晶體P1A的控制端可耦接至主選擇單元112的第二電壓端。P型電晶體P2A具有第一端、第二端及控制端,P型電晶體P2A的第一端可耦接至主選擇單元112的第二電壓端,P型電晶體P2A的第二端可耦接至主選擇單元112的輸出端,而P型電晶體P2A的控制端可耦接至主選擇單元112的第一電壓端。
在此情況下,若第一可變電壓VV1大於第二可變電壓VV2,則P型電晶體P1A將會被導通,而P型電晶體P2A將會被截止。因此,主選擇單元112將會輸出第一可變電壓VV1作為操作電壓VOP。然而,若第一可變電壓VV1小於第二可變電壓VV2,則P型電晶體P1A將被截止,而P型電晶體P2A將被導通。因此,主選擇單元112將會輸出第二可變電壓VV2作為操作電壓VOP。
第一再比較單元114可包含P型電晶體P3A及P4A。P型電晶體P3A具有第一端、第二端及控制端,P型電晶體P3A的第一端可耦接至主選擇單元112的第一電壓端,P型電晶體P3A的第二端可耦接至主選擇單元112的輸出端,而P型電晶體P3A的控制端可耦接至主選擇單元112的輸出端。P型電晶體P4A具有第一端、第二端及控制端,P型電晶體P4A的第一端可耦接至主選擇單元112的輸出端,P型電晶體P4A的第二端可耦接至主選擇單元112的輸出端,而P型電晶體P3A的控制端可耦接至主選擇單元112的第一電壓端。
在此情況下,如果操作電壓VOP小於第一可變電壓VV1,則P型電晶體P3A將會被導通,而P型電晶體P4A將被截止。如此一來,第一再比較單元114就可以根據第一可變電壓VV1來提升操作電壓VOP。
相似地,第二再比較單元116可包含P型電晶體P5A及P6A。P型電晶體P5A具有第一端、第二端及控制端,P型電晶體P5A的第一端可耦接至主選擇單元112的第二電壓端,P型電晶體P5A的第二端可耦接至主選擇單元112的輸出端,而P型電晶體P5A的控制端可耦接至主選擇單元112的輸出端。P型電晶體P6A具有第一端、第二端及控制端,P型電晶體P6A的第一端可耦接至主選擇單元112的輸出端,P型電晶體P6A的第二端可耦接至主選擇單元112的輸出端,而P型電晶體P6A的控制端可耦接至主選擇單元112的第二電壓端。
在此情況下,如果操作電壓VOP小於第二可變電壓VV2,則P型電晶體P5A將會被導通,而P型電晶體P6A將被截止。如此一來,第二再比較單元116就可以根據第二可變電壓VV2來提升操作電壓VOP。
也就是說,透過再比較單元114及116,操作電壓VOP可以保持在一個穩定的狀態,且當第一可變電壓VV1與第二可變電壓VV2相等時,操作電壓VOP也不會小於第一可變電壓VV1或第二可變電壓VV2。如此一來,就可以減少因為操作電壓VOP不穩定所產生的漏電流。
再者,在有些實施例中,P型電晶體P1A、P2A、P3A、P4A、P5A及P6A的基體端可以耦接至主選擇單元112的輸出端以減少漏電流。由於P型電晶體P3A、P4A、P5A及P6A主要是用來提升操作電壓VOP,而無須承受大電流的負載,因此P型電晶體P3A、P4A、P5A及P6A的尺寸可以比較小。
在此實施例中,電晶體M1A的第一端可接收第一可變電壓VV1,而電源開關電路100可以通過輸出端OUT來輸出第一可變電壓VV1以作為輸出電壓Vout。然而,在有些實施例中,電晶體M1A的第一端也可接收第二可變電壓VV2,而電源開關電路100則可以通過輸出端OUT來輸出第二可變電壓VV2以作為輸出電壓Vout。由於電壓選擇電路110可以穩定地輸出第一可變電壓VV1及第二可變電壓VV2中較大的一者以作為操作電壓VOP,因此仍然可以減少漏電流 產生。再者,在有些實施例中,第二可變電壓VV2也可以由電荷泵產生。
第2圖時本發明另一實施例的電壓選擇電路210的示意圖。在有些實施例中,電壓選擇電路210可以應用在電源開關電路100並取代電壓選擇電路110。電壓選擇電路210及電壓選擇電路110具有相似的結構,並且可以根據相似的原理操作。然而,在電壓選擇電路210中,第一再比較單元214及第二再比較單元210皆可利用單一個P型電晶體來實作。
在第2圖中,第一再比較單元214可包含P型電晶體P3B。P型電晶體P3B具有第一端、第二端及控制端,P型電晶體P3B的第一端可耦接至主選擇單元212的第一電壓端以接收第一可變電壓VV1,P型電晶體P3B的第二端可耦接至主選擇單元212的輸出端,而P型電晶體P3B的控制端可耦接至主選擇單元212的輸出端。在此情況下,若操作電壓VOP小於第一可變電壓VV1,則P型電晶體P3B將會被導通,而第一再比較單元214也將根據第一可變電壓VV1來提升操作電壓VOP。
此外,第二再比較單元216可包含P型電晶體P5B。P型電晶體P5B具有第一端、第二端及控制端,P型電晶體P5B的第一端可耦接至主選擇單元212的第二電壓端以接收第二可變電壓VV2,P型電晶體P5B的第二端可耦接至主選擇單元212的輸出端,而P型電晶體P5B的控制端可耦接至主選擇單元212的輸出端。在此情況下,若操作電壓VOP小於第二可變電壓VV2,則P型電晶體P5B將會被導通,而第二再比較單元216也將根據第二可變電壓VV2來提升操作電壓VOP。
由於漏電流大多是在第一可變電壓VV1與第二可變電壓VV2相等,而操作電壓VOP小於第一可變電壓VV1及第二可變電壓VV2時產生,因此再比較單元214及216可以利用P型電晶體P3B及P5B來調整操作電壓VOP,而無須再比較單元114及116中的P型電晶體P4A及P6A。因此,選擇電壓電路210所需的電路 面積可小於電壓選擇電路110所需的電路面積。
綜上所述,本發明的實施例所提供的電源開關電路及電壓選擇電路可以透過再比較單元來穩定操作電壓。如此一來,就可以減少因為操作電壓不穩定而產生的漏電流。
以上所述僅為本發明之較佳實施例,凡依本發明申請專利範圍所做之均等變化與修飾,皆應屬本發明之涵蓋範圍。
