【背景技术】【Background technique】
在半导体集成电路中,电路信号在电源上电或掉电过程中不是十分的稳定,尤其在使用多种电源域供电时,每种电源域的上电或掉电时序的不同步容易导致电路信号不可控制,这种情况在电平转换电路中尤为明显,直接导致电平转换电路的输出信号出现错误,并可能产生大漏电的问题,损坏相关器件。In a semiconductor integrated circuit, the circuit signal is not very stable during the power-on or power-off process, especially when multiple power domains are used for power supply, the asynchrony of the power-on or power-off sequence of each power domain can easily lead to circuit signals Uncontrollable, this situation is particularly obvious in the level conversion circuit, which directly leads to an error in the output signal of the level conversion circuit, and may cause large leakage problems and damage related devices.
电平转换电路包括高压电平转换电路和低压电平转换电路,其中高压电平转换电路是将低压信号转换为高压信号,从而实现低压逻辑对高压逻辑的控制;低压电平转换电路是将高压信号转换为低压信号,从而实现高压逻辑对低压逻辑的控制。The level conversion circuit includes a high-voltage level conversion circuit and a low-voltage level conversion circuit, wherein the high-voltage level conversion circuit converts a low-voltage signal into a high-voltage signal, so as to realize the control of the low-voltage logic to the high-voltage logic; the low-voltage level conversion circuit is a Convert the high voltage signal to the low voltage signal, so as to realize the control of the high voltage logic to the low voltage logic.
现有技术中的电平转换电路由四个高压晶体管构成,两个高压PMOS管用于上拉,两个高压NMOS管用于下拉。两个高压NMOS管的栅极作为电平转换电路的两个输入端,输入端电压为低电压电位;两个高压PMOS管的漏极作为电平转换电路的两个输出端,输出端电压为高电压电位。由于两个高压NMOS管工作于低压情况,导致两个高压NMOS管的下拉能力很弱,当低压值低到某一程度时,电平转换电路无法工作,也即无法实现电平转换的功能,而且转换后的信号上升沿与下降沿的时间差异很大,进而导致转换后的信号出现占空比不合理的情况。The level conversion circuit in the prior art is composed of four high-voltage transistors, two high-voltage PMOS tubes are used for pull-up, and two high-voltage NMOS tubes are used for pull-down. The gates of the two high-voltage NMOS tubes are used as the two input terminals of the level conversion circuit, and the input terminal voltage is a low voltage potential; the drains of the two high-voltage PMOS tubes are used as the two output terminals of the level conversion circuit, and the output terminal voltage is high voltage potential. Since the two high-voltage NMOS tubes work in a low-voltage condition, the pull-down capability of the two high-voltage NMOS tubes is very weak. When the low-voltage value is low to a certain extent, the level conversion circuit cannot work, that is, the level conversion function cannot be realized. Moreover, the time difference between the rising edge and the falling edge of the converted signal is very large, which leads to the unreasonable duty cycle of the converted signal.

具体的,当输入节点IN为高电平时,第一NMOS管N1导通,第一NMOS管 N1的漏极为低电平,该低电平经第一缓冲器BUF1将第四PMOS管P4导通;另,输入节点IN的高电平经第一反相器I1反向(反向输入节点为低电平)后将第二PMOS管P2导通,由于输入信号到达第二PMOS管P2的栅极信号传输路径比输入信号到达第四PMOS管P4的栅极信号传输路径短,故第二PMOS管P2的栅极低电平信号将比第四PMOS管P4的栅极低电平信号早到,因此输出节点OUT的输出信号上升沿时间将受第一缓冲器BUF1的延时控制,输出信号的上升沿时间直接影响占空比,从而达到调节输出信号占空比的目的,在不改变电平转换单元晶体管尺寸的情况下,改善输出信号质量。Specifically, when the input node IN is at a high level, the first NMOS transistor N1 is turned on, the drain of the first NMOS transistor N1 is at a low level, and the low level turns on the fourth PMOS transistor P4 through the first buffer BUF1 In addition, the high level of the input node IN is reversed by the first inverter I1 (the reverse input node is a low level) and the second PMOS tube P2 is turned on, because the input signal reaches the gate of the second PMOS tube P2. The transmission path of the polar signal is shorter than the transmission path of the input signal to the gate signal of the fourth PMOS transistor P4, so the gate low level signal of the second PMOS transistor P2 will arrive earlier than the gate low level signal of the fourth PMOS transistor P4. , so the rising edge time of the output signal of the output node OUT will be controlled by the delay of the first buffer BUF1, and the rising edge time of the output signal directly affects the duty cycle, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the duty cycle of the output signal. The output signal quality is improved in the case of flat conversion unit transistor size.

The drain of P3 is at a high level (pulled high), and the fourth PMOS transistor P4 is turned off after passing through the first buffer BUF1, which further ensures that the drain of the second NMOS transistor N2 is at a low level, and passes through the two-stage inverter (I2 , I3), the total output node OUT' is low.
当输入节点IN的输入信号为高电平时,将第一PMOS管P1截止、第一NMOS管N1导通;输入信号(高电平)经过第一反相器I1后为低电平,该低电平将第二PMOS管P2导通、第二NMOS管N2截止;第一NMOS管N1导通,第一NMOS管N1的漏极为低电平(被拉低),进而将第五NMOS管N5截止,且经过第一缓冲器BUF1将第四PMOS管P4导通,因此第四PMOS管P4的漏极为高电平(被拉 高),该高电平反过来将第三PMOS管P3截止,并保证第一NMOS管N1的漏极为低电平(被拉低);第四PMOS管P4的漏极高电平经过两级反相器(I2、I3)后,总输出节点OUT’为高电平。When the input signal of the input node IN is at a high level, the first PMOS transistor P1 is turned off and the first NMOS transistor N1 is turned on; the input signal (high level) is at a low level after passing through the first inverter I1, the low level The level turns on the second PMOS transistor P2 and turns off the second NMOS transistor N2; the first NMOS transistor N1 is turned on, the drain of the first NMOS transistor N1 is low level (pulled down), and then the fifth NMOS transistor N5 is turned on. is turned off, and the fourth PMOS transistor P4 is turned on through the first buffer BUF1, so the drain of the fourth PMOS transistor P4 is at a high level (pulled high), which in turn turns off the third PMOS transistor P3, and Ensure that the drain of the first NMOS transistor N1 is at a low level (pulled low); after the high level of the drain of the fourth PMOS transistor P4 passes through the two-stage inverters (I2, I3), the total output node OUT' is at a high level flat.
当使能信号EN为低电平时,第七PMOS管P7导通并将第五NMOS管N5的栅极拉高,从而第五NMOS管N5的漏极被拉低,输出节点OUT为低电平,经过两级反相器后,电平转换电路的输出为低电平,此时不论输入节点IN为高电平还是低电平,输出信号始终为低电平;当使能信号EN为高电平时,第七PMOS管P7截止不工作,对输入节点IN的输入信号起不到屏蔽的作用,此时电平转换电路正常工作。When the enable signal EN is at a low level, the seventh PMOS transistor P7 is turned on and the gate of the fifth NMOS transistor N5 is pulled high, so that the drain of the fifth NMOS transistor N5 is pulled low, and the output node OUT is at a low level , after the two-stage inverter, the output of the level conversion circuit is low level. At this time, regardless of whether the input node IN is high level or low level, the output signal is always low level; when the enable signal EN is high level When the level is turned off, the seventh PMOS transistor P7 is turned off and does not work, and cannot shield the input signal of the input node IN. At this time, the level conversion circuit works normally.
电平转换单元的第一PMOS管P1、第三PMOS管P3、第一NMOS管N1与第二PMOS管P2、第四PMOS管P4、第二NMOS管N2对称的,也即第一NMOS管N1的漏极电平、第二NMOS管N2的漏极电平相反,在多电源供电出现电源上电或掉电时序不同步时,所述反馈单元将对输出信号进行反馈补偿,使输出节点OUT输出高低状态确定的电平信号。The first PMOS transistor P1, the third PMOS transistor P3, and the first NMOS transistor N1 of the level conversion unit are symmetrical with the second PMOS transistor P2, the fourth PMOS transistor P4, and the second NMOS transistor N2, that is, the first NMOS transistor N1 The drain level of the second NMOS transistor N2 is opposite to the drain level of the second NMOS transistor N2. When the power-on or power-off sequence is not synchronized in the multi-power supply, the feedback unit will perform feedback compensation on the output signal, so that the output node OUT Output the level signal determined by the high and low state.
当输入节点IN为高电平时,第一NMOS管N1导通,第一NMOS管N1的漏极为低电平,该低电平经第一缓冲器BUF1将第四PMOS管P4导通;另,输入节点IN的高电平经第一反相器I1反向(反向输入节点为低电平)后将第二PMOS管P2导通,由于输入信号到达第二PMOS管P2的栅极信号传输路径比输入信号到达第四PMOS管P4的栅极信号传输路径短,故第二PMOS管P2的栅极低电平信号将比第四PMOS管P4的栅极低电平信号早到,因此输出节点OUT的输出信号上升沿时间将受第一缓冲器BUF1的延时控制,输出信号的上升沿时间直接影响占空比,从而达到调节输出信号占空比的目的,在不改变电平转换单元晶体管尺寸的情况下,改善输出信号质量。When the input node IN is at a high level, the first NMOS transistor N1 is turned on, the drain of the first NMOS transistor N1 is at a low level, and the low level turns on the fourth PMOS transistor P4 through the first buffer BUF1; in addition, The high level of the input node IN is reversed by the first inverter I1 (the reverse input node is low level), and the second PMOS transistor P2 is turned on. Since the input signal reaches the gate signal transmission of the second PMOS transistor P2 The path is shorter than the gate signal transmission path of the input signal reaching the fourth PMOS transistor P4, so the gate low level signal of the second PMOS transistor P2 will arrive earlier than the gate low level signal of the fourth PMOS transistor P4, so the output The rising edge time of the output signal of the node OUT will be controlled by the delay of the first buffer BUF1. The rising edge time of the output signal directly affects the duty cycle, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the duty cycle of the output signal without changing the level conversion unit. In the case of transistor size, the output signal quality is improved.
