Description
本創作提出一種高效能電壓位準移位器,尤指一由一輸入電路(1)、一栓鎖電路(2)以及一模式控制開關(3)所組成,以求獲得精確電壓位準轉換之電子電路。 The present invention proposes a high-performance voltage level shifter, especially one composed of an input circuit (1), a latch circuit (2) and a mode control switch (3), in order to obtain precise voltage level conversion of electronic circuits.
電壓位準移位器係一種用來溝通不同的積體電路(Integrated Circuit,簡稱IC)之間的信號傳遞之電子電路。在許多應用中,當應用系統需將信號從電壓位準較低的核心邏輯傳送到電壓位準較高的週邊裝置時,電壓位準移位器就負責將低電壓工作信號轉換成高電壓工作信號。 A voltage level shifter is an electronic circuit used to communicate signals between different integrated circuits (Integrated Circuits, IC for short). In many applications, when the application system needs to transmit signals from core logic with a lower voltage level to peripheral devices with a higher voltage level, the voltage level shifter is responsible for converting the low-voltage operating signal to high-voltage operation. Signal.
第1圖係顯示一先前技藝(prior art)之一閂鎖型電壓位準移位器電路,其係使用一第一PMOS(P-channel metal oxide semiconductor,P通道金屬氧化物半導體)電晶體(MP1)、一第二PMOS電晶體(MP2)、一第一NMOS(N-channel metal oxide semiconductor,N通道金屬氧化物半導體)電晶體(MN1)、一第二NMOS電晶體(MN2)及一反相器(INV)來構成一電壓位準移位器電路,其中,該反相器(INV)的偏壓是第二高電位電壓(VDDL)及地(GND),而第一信號(V(IN))的電位亦在地(GND)與第二高電位電壓(VDDL)之間。第一信號(V(IN))及經過反相器(INV)輸出的反相輸入電壓信號分別連接至第一NMOS電晶體(MN1)及第二NMOS電晶體(MN2)的閘極(gate)。因 此,在同一時間內,第一NMOS電晶體(MN1)及第二NMOS電晶體(MN2)之中只有一個會導通(ON)。此外,由於第一PMOS電晶體(MP1)和第二PMOS電晶體(MP2)的交叉耦合(cross-coupled)方式,使得當電壓位準移位器的輸出(OUT)處於一個穩定的狀態時,閂鎖型的電壓位準移位器中沒有靜態電流(static current)產生。尤其,當第一NMOS電晶體(MN1)關閉(OFF)而第二NMOS電晶體(MN2)導通(ON)時,第一PMOS電晶體(MP1)的閘極電位被拉降(pull down)並使得第一PMOS電晶體(MP1)導通,以致拉升(pull up)第二PMOS電晶體(MP2)的閘極電位而關閉第二PMOS電晶體(MP2);再者,當第一NMOS電晶體(MN1)導通而第二NMOS電晶體(MN2)關閉時,第二PMOS電晶體(MP2)的閘極電位被拉降並使得第二PMOS電晶體(MP2)導通,以致拉升第一PMOS電晶體(MP1)的閘極電位而關閉第一PMOS電晶體(MP1)。因此,在第一PMOS電晶體(MP1)和第一NMOS電晶體(MN1)之間或第二PMOS電晶體(MP2)和第二NMOS電晶體(MN2)之間就不會存在一個電流路徑。 FIG. 1 shows a prior art latch-type voltage level shifter circuit using a first PMOS (P-channel metal oxide semiconductor) transistor ( MP1), a second PMOS transistor (MP2), a first NMOS (N-channel metal oxide semiconductor, N-channel metal oxide semiconductor) transistor (MN1), a second NMOS transistor (MN2) and an inverse an inverter (INV) to form a voltage level shifter circuit, wherein the bias voltage of the inverter (INV) is the second high potential voltage (VDDL) and the ground (GND), and the first signal (V( The potential of IN)) is also between the ground (GND) and the second high potential voltage (VDDL). The first signal (V(IN)) and the inverted input voltage signal output by the inverter (INV) are respectively connected to the gates of the first NMOS transistor (MN1) and the second NMOS transistor (MN2) . because Therefore, at the same time, only one of the first NMOS transistor ( MN1 ) and the second NMOS transistor ( MN2 ) is turned on (ON). In addition, due to the cross-coupled mode of the first PMOS transistor (MP1) and the second PMOS transistor (MP2), when the output (OUT) of the voltage level shifter is in a stable state, There is no static current generated in the latch-type voltage level shifter. Especially, when the first NMOS transistor (MN1) is turned off (OFF) and the second NMOS transistor (MN2) is turned on (ON), the gate potential of the first PMOS transistor (MP1) is pulled down and The first PMOS transistor (MP1) is turned on, so that the gate potential of the second PMOS transistor (MP2) is pulled up and the second PMOS transistor (MP2) is turned off; When (MN1) is turned on and the second NMOS transistor (MN2) is turned off, the gate potential of the second PMOS transistor (MP2) is pulled down and the second PMOS transistor (MP2) is turned on, thereby pulling up the first PMOS transistor (MP2). The gate potential of the crystal (MP1) turns off the first PMOS transistor (MP1). Therefore, there is no current path between the first PMOS transistor (MP1) and the first NMOS transistor (MN1) or between the second PMOS transistor (MP2) and the second NMOS transistor (MN2).
然而,上述習知電壓位準移位器在第二PMOS電晶體(MP2)趨近於導通(或關閉)與在第二NMOS電晶體(MN2)趨近於關閉(或導通)的過程中,對於輸出端(OUT)上的電位之拉升及拉降有互相競爭(contention)的現象,因此第二信號(V(OUT))在轉變成低電位時速度較慢。此外,考慮當第一信號(V(IN))由0伏特改變至1.8伏特時,第一NMOS電晶體(MN1)導通,而第二PMOS電晶體(MP2)的閘極變為低電位,使得第二PMOS電晶體(MP2)導通。所以,輸出為一第一高電位電壓(VDDH)。但是,由於0伏特無法瞬間轉換至1.8伏特,因此,在轉換期間的較低第一信號(V(IN))可能無法使第一PMOS電晶體(MP1)、第二PMOS電晶體(MP2)、第一NMOS電晶體(MN1) 及第二NMOS電晶體(MN2)達到完全導通或完全關閉,如此會造成在第一高電位電壓(VDDH)與地(GND)之間存在一靜態電流(static current),此靜態電流會增加功率的損耗。 However, in the above-mentioned conventional voltage level shifter, when the second PMOS transistor (MP2) is approaching to be turned on (or turned off) and the second NMOS transistor (MN2) is approached to be turned off (or turned on), There is a phenomenon of contention for the pull-up and pull-down of the potential on the output terminal (OUT), so the speed of the second signal (V(OUT)) is slower when it transitions to a low potential. Furthermore, consider that when the first signal (V(IN)) is changed from 0 volts to 1.8 volts, the first NMOS transistor (MN1) is turned on, and the gate of the second PMOS transistor (MP2) becomes a low potential, so that The second PMOS transistor (MP2) is turned on. Therefore, the output is a first high potential voltage (VDDH). However, since 0 volts cannot be converted to 1.8 volts instantaneously, the lower first signal (V(IN)) during the conversion may not enable the first PMOS transistor (MP1), the second PMOS transistor (MP2), First NMOS transistor (MN1) And the second NMOS transistor (MN2) is fully turned on or completely off, which will cause a static current (static current) between the first high potential voltage (VDDH) and the ground (GND), which will increase the power loss.
再者,閂鎖型的電壓位準移位器的性能是受到第一高電位電壓(VDDH)的影響,由於第一PMOS電晶體(MP1)和第二PMOS電晶體(MP2)的閘-源極電壓為第一高電位電壓(VDDH),而第一NMOS電晶體(MN1)和第二NMOS電晶體(MN2)的閘-源極電壓是第二高電位電壓(VDDL)。因此,限制了可以使閂鎖型電壓位準移位器正常運作的第一高電位電壓(VDDH)的範圍。 Furthermore, the performance of the latch-type voltage level shifter is affected by the first high potential voltage (VDDH), due to the gate-source of the first PMOS transistor (MP1) and the second PMOS transistor (MP2) The electrode voltage is the first high potential voltage (VDDH), and the gate-source voltages of the first NMOS transistor (MN1) and the second NMOS transistor (MN2) are the second high potential voltage (VDDL). Therefore, the range of the first high potential voltage (VDDH) that can make the latch-type voltage level shifter operate normally is limited.
第2圖係顯示另一先前技藝之一鏡像型電壓位準移位器電路,該電壓位準移位器藉由將第一PMOS電晶體(MP1)和第二PMOS電晶體(MP2)的閘極連接在一起並連接到第一PMOS電晶體(MP1)的汲極,使得第一PMOS電晶體(MP1)和第二PMOS電晶體(MP2)形成電流鏡電路,第一PMOS電晶體(MP1)是處於飽和區,並且其閘極電壓使得飽和電流等於流入第一NMOS電晶體(MN1)之電流,而流經第一PMOS電晶體(MP1)和第二PMOS電晶體(MP2)之電流亦相等。由於鏡像型的電壓位準移位器的性能是由第一PMOS電晶體(MP1)和第一NMOS電晶體(MN1)的電流來決定,因此,即使輸出的第一高電位電壓(VDDH)改變,電壓位準移位器的性能也不會有太大的改變。因此,鏡像型的電壓位準移位器可以適用在各種輸出電壓電路。 FIG. 2 shows another prior art mirror-type voltage level shifter circuit. The voltage level shifter is realized by switching the gates of the first PMOS transistor (MP1) and the second PMOS transistor (MP2). The poles are connected together and to the drain of the first PMOS transistor (MP1), so that the first PMOS transistor (MP1) and the second PMOS transistor (MP2) form a current mirror circuit, the first PMOS transistor (MP1) is in the saturation region, and its gate voltage makes the saturation current equal to the current flowing into the first NMOS transistor (MN1), and the current flowing through the first PMOS transistor (MP1) and the second PMOS transistor (MP2) is also equal . Since the performance of the mirror-type voltage level shifter is determined by the currents of the first PMOS transistor (MP1) and the first NMOS transistor (MN1), even if the output first high potential voltage (VDDH) changes , the performance of the voltage level shifter will not change much. Therefore, the mirror-type voltage level shifter can be applied to various output voltage circuits.
然而,當第一NMOS電晶體(MN1)導通而第二NMOS電晶體(MN2)關閉時,第一PMOS電晶體(MP1)和第二PMOS電晶體(MP2)的閘極電 位被拉降,使得第一PMOS電晶體(MP1)和第二PMOS電晶體(MP2)都導通。如此,在第一PMOS電晶體(MP1)和第一NMOS電晶體(MN1)之間會產生一個靜態電流路徑。 However, when the first NMOS transistor (MN1) is turned on and the second NMOS transistor (MN2) is turned off, the gate voltages of the first PMOS transistor (MP1) and the second PMOS transistor (MP2) are The bit is pulled down so that both the first PMOS transistor (MP1) and the second PMOS transistor (MP2) are on. In this way, a static current path is created between the first PMOS transistor (MP1) and the first NMOS transistor (MN1).

現在考慮第一信號(V(IN))為低電位(0伏特)時,電位轉換器的穩態操作情形:第一輸入端(IN)上的低電位同時傳送到第一反相器(I1)的輸入端、第一NMOS電晶體(MN1)、第三PMOS電晶體(MP3)以及第七PMOS電晶體(MP7)的閘極,使得該第一NMOS電晶體(MN1)關閉、第三PMOS電晶體(MP3)和第七PMOS電晶體(MP7)都導通,而該第一反相器(I1)傳送第二高電位電壓(1.2伏特)到第二NMOS電晶體(MN2)、第四PMOS電晶體(MP4)以及第八PMOS電晶體(MP8)的閘極,使得第二NMOS電晶體(MN2)導通、第四PMOS電晶體(MP4)和第八PMOS電晶體(MP8)都關閉,此時,由於第二NMOS電晶體(MN2)導通,使得該第四節點(N4)的電位會被拉降至一低電位(0伏特)的值,該第四節點(N4)的低電位使得第一PMOS電晶體(MP1)導通,此時由於第一PMOS電晶體(MP1)、第三PMOS電晶體(MP3)和第七PMOS電晶體(MP7)都導通,而該第一NMOS電晶體(MN1)關閉,使得該第三節點(N3)的電位被拉升至一高電位,該第三節點(N3)的高電位使得第二PMOS電晶體 (MP2)關閉,此時,由於第一PMOS電晶體(MP1)、第三PMOS電晶體(MP3)和第七PMOS電晶體(MP7)都導通,第二PMOS電晶體(MP2)、第四PMOS電晶體(MP4)和第八PMOS電晶體(MP8)都關閉,而第一NMOS電晶體(MN1)關閉、第二NMOS電晶體(MN2)導通,因此,該第三節點(N3)的電位會被拉升至一第一高電位電壓(1.8伏特),而該第四節點(N4)的電位將維持在低電位(0伏特),因此,輸出端(OUT)的電位會被拉降至一低電位(0伏特)的穩態值。質言之,第一信號(V(IN))為低電位(0伏特)時,經過電位轉換器轉換成具低電位(0伏特)的第二信號,由輸出端(OUT)輸出。 Now consider the steady state operation of the potential converter when the first signal (V(IN)) is low (0 volts): the low potential on the first input (IN) is simultaneously transmitted to the first inverter (I1) ), the gates of the first NMOS transistor (MN1), the third PMOS transistor (MP3), and the seventh PMOS transistor (MP7), so that the first NMOS transistor (MN1) is turned off and the third PMOS transistor (MP7) is turned off. The transistor (MP3) and the seventh PMOS transistor (MP7) are both on, and the first inverter (I1) transmits the second high potential voltage (1.2 volts) to the second NMOS transistor (MN2), the fourth PMOS The gates of the transistor (MP4) and the eighth PMOS transistor (MP8), so that the second NMOS transistor (MN2) is turned on, and the fourth PMOS transistor (MP4) and the eighth PMOS transistor (MP8) are both turned off. When the second NMOS transistor (MN2) is turned on, the potential of the fourth node (N4) will be pulled down to a low potential (0 volts), and the low potential of the fourth node (N4) makes the fourth node (N4) low potential. A PMOS transistor (MP1) is turned on. At this time, since the first PMOS transistor (MP1), the third PMOS transistor (MP3) and the seventh PMOS transistor (MP7) are all turned on, the first NMOS transistor (MN1) ) is turned off, so that the potential of the third node (N3) is pulled to a high potential, and the high potential of the third node (N3) causes the second PMOS transistor (MP2) is turned off, at this time, since the first PMOS transistor (MP1), the third PMOS transistor (MP3) and the seventh PMOS transistor (MP7) are all turned on, the second PMOS transistor (MP2), the fourth PMOS transistor (MP2), the fourth PMOS transistor The transistor (MP4) and the eighth PMOS transistor (MP8) are both turned off, while the first NMOS transistor (MN1) is turned off and the second NMOS transistor (MN2) is turned on. Therefore, the potential of the third node (N3) will be is pulled up to a first high potential voltage (1.8 volts), and the potential of the fourth node (N4) will remain at a low potential (0 volts), therefore, the potential of the output terminal (OUT) will be pulled down to a Steady state value at low potential (0 volts). In other words, when the first signal (V(IN)) is at a low potential (0 volt), it is converted into a second signal with a low potential (0 volt) through a potential converter, and is output from the output terminal (OUT).
再考慮第一信號(V(IN))為第二高電位電壓(1.2伏特)時,電位轉換器的穩態操作情形:第一輸入端(IN)上的第二高電位電壓(1.2伏特)同時傳送到第一反相器(I1)的輸入端、第一NMOS電晶體(MN1)、第三PMOS電晶體(MP3)以及第七PMOS電晶體(MP7)的閘極,使得該第一NMOS電晶體(MN1)導通、第三PMOS電晶體(MP3)和第七PMOS電晶體(MP7)都關閉,使得該第三節點(N3)的電位會被拉降至一低電位(0伏特)的值,而該第一反相器(I1)傳送低電位到第二NMOS電晶體(MN2)、第四PMOS電晶體(MP4)以及第八PMOS電晶體(MP8)的閘極,使得第二NMOS電晶體(MN2)關閉、第四PMOS電晶體(MP4)和第八PMOS電晶體(MP8)都導通,該第三節點(N3)的低電位使得第二PMOS電晶體(MP2)導通,此時由於第二PMOS電晶體(MP2)、第四PMOS電晶體(MP4)和第八PMOS電晶體(MP8)都導通,而第二NMOS電晶體(MN2)關閉,使得該第四節點(N4)的電位被拉升至一高電位,該第四節點(N4)的高電位使得第一PMOS電晶體(MP1)關閉,此時,由於第一PMOS電晶體(MP1)、第三PMOS電晶體(MP3)和第七PMOS電晶體(MP7)都關閉, 第二PMOS電晶體(MP2)、第四PMOS電晶體(MP4)和第八PMOS電晶體(MP8)都導通,而第一NMOS電晶體(MN1)導通、第二NMOS電晶體(MN2)關閉,因此,該第四節點(N4)的電位會被拉升至一第一高電位電壓(1.8伏特),而該第三節點(N3)的電位將維持在低電位(0伏特),因此,輸出端(OUT)的電位會被拉升至一第一高電位電壓(1.8伏特)的穩態值。質言之,第一信號(V(IN))為第二高電位電壓(1.2伏特)時,經過電位轉換器轉換成具第一高電位電壓(1.8伏特)的第二信號,由輸出端(OUT)輸出。 Then consider the steady state operation of the potential converter when the first signal (V(IN)) is the second high potential voltage (1.2 volts): the second high potential voltage (1.2 volts) on the first input terminal (IN) At the same time, it is transmitted to the input terminal of the first inverter (I1), the gate of the first NMOS transistor (MN1), the third PMOS transistor (MP3) and the seventh PMOS transistor (MP7), so that the first NMOS transistor (MP7) The transistor (MN1) is turned on, the third PMOS transistor (MP3) and the seventh PMOS transistor (MP7) are both turned off, so that the potential of the third node (N3) will be pulled down to a low potential (0 volts). value, and the first inverter (I1) transmits a low potential to the gates of the second NMOS transistor (MN2), the fourth PMOS transistor (MP4) and the eighth PMOS transistor (MP8), so that the second NMOS transistor (MP4) The transistor (MN2) is turned off, the fourth PMOS transistor (MP4) and the eighth PMOS transistor (MP8) are both turned on, the low potential of the third node (N3) makes the second PMOS transistor (MP2) turn on, at this time Since the second PMOS transistor (MP2), the fourth PMOS transistor (MP4) and the eighth PMOS transistor (MP8) are all turned on, and the second NMOS transistor (MN2) is turned off, the fourth node (N4) is turned off. The potential is pulled up to a high potential, and the high potential of the fourth node (N4) turns off the first PMOS transistor (MP1). ) and the seventh PMOS transistor (MP7) are both off, The second PMOS transistor (MP2), the fourth PMOS transistor (MP4) and the eighth PMOS transistor (MP8) are all turned on, while the first NMOS transistor (MN1) is turned on and the second NMOS transistor (MN2) is turned off, Therefore, the potential of the fourth node (N4) will be pulled up to a first high potential voltage (1.8 volts), and the potential of the third node (N3) will be maintained at a low potential (0 volts), therefore, the output The potential of the terminal (OUT) is pulled up to a steady state value of a first high potential voltage (1.8 volts). In other words, when the first signal (V(IN)) is the second high-potential voltage (1.2V), it is converted into a second signal with the first high-potential voltage (1.8V) through the potential converter, and the output terminal ( OUT) output.
綜上所述,第一信號(V(IN))為低電位(0伏特)時,第二信號(V(OUT))亦為低電位(0伏特);而第一信號(V(IN))為第二高電位電壓(1.2伏特)時,第二信號(V(OUT))為第一高電位電壓(1.8伏特)。如此,電壓位準轉換的目的便實現。 To sum up, when the first signal (V(IN)) is at a low level (0 volts), the second signal (V(OUT)) is also at a low level (0 volts); and the first signal (V(IN) ) is the second high potential voltage (1.2V), the second signal (V(OUT)) is the first high potential voltage (1.8V). In this way, the purpose of voltage level conversion is achieved.
(II)待機模式(Standby mode) (II) Standby mode (Standby mode)
請再參考圖3。在待機狀態下,亦即,當該致能控制端(EN)是在低電位狀態時,該第五PMOS電晶體(MP5)和該第六PMOS電晶體(MP6)均呈導通(ON)狀態,此時,由於該第三節點(N3)和該第四節點(N4)皆處於接近第一高電位電壓(VDDH)之電位,使得該第一PMOS電晶體(MP1)和該第二PMOS電晶體(MP2)都關閉,因此,該栓鎖電路(2)被除能。其工作原理於此不再累述。 Please refer to Figure 3 again. In the standby state, that is, when the enable control terminal (EN) is in a low potential state, both the fifth PMOS transistor (MP5) and the sixth PMOS transistor (MP6) are in a conducting (ON) state , at this time, since the third node (N3) and the fourth node (N4) are both at potentials close to the first high potential voltage (VDDH), the first PMOS transistor (MP1) and the second PMOS transistor are The crystals (MP2) are all off, so the latch circuit (2) is disabled. Its working principle is not repeated here.
