- the third PMOS transistor and the seventh PMOS transistor are not turned on, the first PMOS transistor and the fifth PMOS transistor are turned on, and the second PMOS transistor and the sixth PMOS transistor are also turned on because their gates are grounded. Since the initial state of the source terminal of the fourth NMOS transistor is a low-level signal, and the gate of the fourth NMOS transistor is grounded, the NMOS transistor is also turned on.
- the fifth PMOS transistor, the sixth PMOS transistor and the fourth NMOS transistor are turned on at the same time, and the source of the fifth PMOS transistor is connected to the first power supply terminal 10, at this time, the high-level signal provided by the first power supply terminal 10 will charge the source terminal of the fourth NMOS transistor, so that the voltage of the source terminal of the fourth NMOS transistor is raised.
- Vth/N4 is the threshold voltage of the fourth NMOS transistor
- the fourth NMOS transistor will change from being turned on to being turned off. The state changes to a non-conducting state. Then, due to the action of the positive feedback unit 43, the voltage at the source end of the fourth NMOS transistor continues to rise to 0V.
- the gate voltage of the second NMOS transistor drops to -3V, and finally the second NMOS transistor is non-conducting and the fourth NMOS transistor is turned on.
- the voltage of the first power supply end 10 reaches the first output end of the level conversion circuit through the first PMOS transistor and the second PMOS transistor being turned on for output.
- the first output end of the level conversion circuit outputs a positive voltage signal provided by the first power supply end 10.
- the voltage of the second power supply end 20 reaches the second output end of the level conversion circuit through the sixth NMOS transistor and the fifth NMOS transistor.
- the second output end of the level conversion circuit outputs a negative voltage signal provided by the second power supply end 20. In this way, the level conversion circuit can output both a positive voltage signal and a negative voltage signal, so that the level conversion circuit realizes the function of level conversion.
- the level conversion circuit described in FIG. 6 is applied to a radio frequency switch control circuit.
- the overall architecture diagram of the radio frequency switch control circuit is shown in FIG. 7 .
- the level conversion circuit described in FIG. 6 corresponds to the second level conversion circuit in FIG. 7 .
- the level conversion circuit is used to generate the positive voltage (VREG) and negative voltage (VREG) for controlling the RF switch.
- Voltage (VNEG) the RF switch is controlled accordingly according to the generated positive and negative voltages.
- the control signal of the RF switch comes from the GPIO signal in the MIPI signal.
- GPIO is a logic control signal from 0 to VIO voltage.
- the control signal of the RF switch needs to undergo two level conversions to meet the voltage requirement of controlling the RF switch.
- the first time the 0-VIO (the VIO voltage in the MIPI signal is generally 1.8V) voltage signal obtained from the MIPI signal is converted into a 0-VREG voltage signal, and the second time, the 0-VREG voltage signal is converted into a VNEG-VREG voltage signal.
- the level conversion circuit provided in this embodiment is a level conversion circuit used to convert the 0-VREG voltage signal into a VNEG-VREG voltage signal, that is, the second level conversion circuit in Figure 2.
- the positive feedback unit 43 is required to make the second NMOS transistor non-conductive when the gate voltage of the second NMOS transistor drops to -3V.
- the positive feedback unit 43, the second NMOS transistor and the sixth NMOS transistor share a negative voltage source, the negative voltage source comes from a negative voltage charge pump, and the driving capability of the negative voltage charge pump is usually weak.
- the gate of the RF switch has a large parasitic capacitance.
- the negative voltage charge pump needs to be charged and discharged through the gate of the switch, which will cause the negative voltage charge pump to have an upward lift at the moment of switching.
- the working voltage of the positive feedback unit 43 will be reduced and it will not work normally.
- the positive feedback unit 43 is operated so that the second NMOS transistor cannot be turned off by the positive feedback unit 43, thereby forming a DC path between the first end and the second end of the first level conversion unit 51, which will increase the power consumption of the RF chip and cause abnormal control logic.
- the positive feedback unit 43 is powered by a negative voltage charge pump (i.e., the third power supply terminal 30 in the present application) alone, thereby ensuring that the positive feedback unit 43 can be in a normal working state during the switch switching process, so that the positive feedback unit 43 can turn off the second NMOS transistor, thereby avoiding the formation of a DC path between the first end and the second end of the first level conversion unit 51.

在某一实施例中,所述电平转换电路的结构如图6所示,在图6中,第一控制信号端60接收到控制信号为第一电压控制信号,第二控制信号端70接收到控制信号为第二电压控制信
号,第一电压控制信号和第二电压控制信号的变化方向是相反的,例如,当第一控制信号端60输出的信号从低电平信号转换成高电平信号时,第二控制信号端70输出的信号从高电平转换成低电平的信号,或者,当第一控制信号端60输出的信号从高电平信号转换成低电平信号时,第二控制信号端70输出的信号从低电平转换成高电平的信号。
本实施例以当第一电压控制信号从高电平信号转换成低电平信号时,第二电压控制信号从低电平转换成高电平的信号,进行举例说明,需要说明的是,在本实施例中,第一电压控制信号和第二电压控制信号的高电平信号为-3V,低电平信号为0V,第一供电端10输出的电压为3V,第二供电端20输出的电压为-3V。具体如下:
当第一电压控制信号从高电平信号转换成低电平信号,第二电压控制信号从低电平转换成高电平的信号时,第三PMOS晶体管和第七PMOS晶体管不导通,第一PMOS晶体管和第五PMOS晶体管导通,第二PMOS晶体管和第六PMOS晶体管由于栅极接地,也会发生导通,由于第四NMOS晶体管的源极端的初始状态为低电平信号,而第四NMOS晶体管的栅极接地,从而使得NMOS晶体管也会发生导通,由于第五PMOS晶体管、第六PMOS晶体管和第四NMOS晶体管同时发生导通,且第五PMOS晶体管的源极接第一供电端10,此时,第一供电端10提供的高电平信号会对第四NMOS晶体管的源极端进行充电,使得第四NMOS晶体管的源极端的电压发生抬升,当抬升到-Vth/N4(Vth/N4是第四NMOS晶体管的阈值电压)时,第四NMOS晶体管就会由导通状态变成不导通状态,紧接着,由于正反馈单元43的作用,会使得第四NMOS晶体管的源极端的电压继续抬升到0V,与此同时,第二NMOS晶体管的栅极电压下降到-3V,最终使得第二NMOS晶体管不导通,第四NMOS晶体管导通,结合上文的第一PMOS晶体管、第二PMOS晶体管导通,第一供电端10的电压通过第一PMOS晶体管和第二PMOS晶体管导通到达所述电平转换电路的第一输出端进行输出,所述电平转换电路的第一输出端输出的是第一供电端10提供的正电压信号,第二供电端20的电压通过第六NMOS晶体管和第五NMOS晶体管到达所述电平转换电路的第二输出端,所述电平转换电路的第二输出端输出的是第二供电端20提供的负电压信号,这样就使得所述电平转换电路既能输出正电压信号,又能输出负电压信号,从而使得电平转换电路实现了电平转换的功能。
在某一实施例中,图6所述电平转换电路应用于射频开关控制电路,射频开关控制电路的整体架构图如图7所示,图6所述电平转换电路对应于图7中的第二电平转换电路。
在射频开关控制电路中,电平转换电路用于产生控制射频开关的正电压(VREG)和负电
压(VNEG),射频开关根据产生的正电压和负电压,来进行相应的控制。一般来说,射频开关的控制信号时来自MIPI信号中的GPIO信号,GPIO是一个从0到VIO电压的逻辑控制信号,由于开关的导通阻抗与开启电压、开关的关断容抗和关断电压之间密切相关,因此,需要一个比较大的正电压信号VREG(例如3V、3.5V和3.6V等等)和一个负电压信号VNEG(例如-3V、-3.5V和-3.6V等等),由于MIPI信号中的GPIO信号达不到上述正电压和负电压的的需求,因此,射频开关控制信号不能直接用MIPI信号中的GPIO信号进行直接控制。
一般而言,射频开关是控制信号需要经过两次电平转换才能够达到控制射频开关的电压需求,第一次将从MIPI信号中获取的0-VIO(MIPI信号中的VIO电压一般是1.8V)电压信号转换成0-VREG电压信号,第二次把0-VREG电压信号转换成VNEG-VREG电压信号。在本实施例提供的电平转换电路,就是应用于0-VREG电压信号转换成VNEG-VREG电压信号的电平转换电路,即图2中的第二电平转换电路。
在本实施例中,当第一电平转换单元51输出高电平信号,第二电平转换单元52输出低电平信号时,需要正反馈单元43在第二NMOS晶体管的栅极电压下降到-3V时,正反馈单元43能够使得第二NMOS晶体管不导通。在相关技术中,由于正反馈单元43、第二NMOS晶体管和第六NMOS晶体管共用一个负电压源,这个负电压源的来自于负压电荷泵,负压电荷泵的驱动能力通常比较弱,通常而言,由于射频开关的尺寸较大,因此,射频开关的栅极存在较大的寄生电容,在开关切换的瞬间(控制电平切换的瞬间),负电压电荷泵需要经过开关的栅极进行充放电,这会导致负电压电荷泵在切换瞬间有一个向上的抬升,在某些情况下,由于负电压电荷泵抬升过大,这会导致正反馈单元43的工作电压降低而无法正常工作,从而使得正反馈单元43无法关断第二NMOS晶体管,进而使得第一电平转换单元51的第一端和第二端之间形成直流通路,这样会导致射频芯片的功耗增大以及控制逻辑发生异常,在本实施例中,通过给正反馈单元43单独用一个负电压电荷泵(即本申请中的第三供电端30)进行供电,这样就保证了正反馈单元43能够在开关切换的过程中,一直处于正常的工作状态,使得正反馈单元43能够关断第二NMOS晶体管,避免了所述第一电平转换单元51的第一端和第二端之间形成直流通路。
