Description

具改進性能之電壓位準轉換器 Voltage level converter with improved performance

本創作係有關一種具改進性能之電壓位準轉換器,尤指利用一輸入電路(1)、一栓鎖電路(2)、一輸出控制電路(3)以及一電流抑制電路(4)所組成,以求獲得精確電壓位準轉換且有效地降低功率損耗之電子電路。 The invention relates to a voltage level converter with improved performance, in particular, it is composed of an input circuit (1), a latch circuit (2), an output control circuit (3) and a current suppression circuit (4) , in order to achieve accurate voltage level conversion and effectively reduce the power loss of electronic circuits.

電壓位準轉換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,電壓位準轉換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 converter is an electronic circuit used to communicate signals between different integrated circuits (ICs 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 converter is responsible for converting the low-voltage operating signal into a high-voltage operating signal. .

第1圖係顯示一先前技藝(prior art)之一閂鎖型電壓位準轉換器,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)來構成一具改進性能之電壓位準轉換器,其中,該反相器(INV)的偏壓是第二高電位電壓(VDDL)及地(GND),而輸入電壓(V(IN))的電位亦在地(GND)與第二高電位電壓(VDDL)之間。輸入電壓(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,使得當電壓位準轉換器的輸出(OUT)處於一個穩定的狀態時,閂鎖型的電壓位準轉換器中沒有靜態電流(static current)產生。尤其,當第一NMOS電晶體(MN1)截止(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)的閘極電位而截止第二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)截止時,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)的閘極電位而截止第一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。 Figure 1 shows a prior art latch-type voltage level converter using a first PMOS (P-channel metal oxide semiconductor, 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 inverter (INV) to form a voltage level converter with improved performance, wherein the bias voltage of the inverter (INV) is the second highest potential voltage (VDDL) and ground (GND), and the input voltage (V(IN )) is also between ground (GND) and the second highest potential voltage (VDDL). The input voltage (V(IN)) and the inverted input voltage signal output through the inverter (INV) are connected respectively. Connected to the gates of the first NMOS transistor (MN1) and the second NMOS transistor (MN2). Therefore, at the same time, only one of the first NMOS transistor (MN1) and the second NMOS transistor (MN2) will be turned on (ON). In addition, due to the cross-coupled manner of the first PMOS transistor (MP1) and the second PMOS transistor (MP2), when the output (OUT) of the voltage level converter is in a stable state, the latch There is no static current generated in the latch-type voltage level converter. In particular, 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, thereby pulling up the gate potential of the second PMOS transistor (MP2) and turning off the second PMOS transistor (MP2); furthermore, when the first NMOS transistor (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, causing the first PMOS transistor (MP2) to be turned on. The gate potential of the transistor (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,上述習知電壓位準轉換器在第二PMOS電晶體(MP2)趨近於導通(或截止)與在第二NMOS電晶體(MN2)趨近於截止(或導通)的過程中,對於輸出節點(OUT)上的電位之拉升及拉降有互相競爭(contention)的現象,因此輸出電壓信號(V(OUT))在轉變成低電位時速度較慢。此外,考慮當輸入電壓(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,在轉換期間的較低輸入電壓(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截止,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 converter, when the second PMOS transistor (MP2) approaches to be turned on (or turned off) and the second NMOS transistor (MN2) approaches to be turned off (or turned on), for The rising and falling potentials on the output node (OUT) compete with each other, so the output voltage signal (V(OUT)) is slower when it transitions to a low potential. In addition, consider that when the input voltage (V(IN)) changes from 0 volts to 1.8 volts, the first NMOS transistor (MN1) turns on, and the gate of the second PMOS transistor (MP2) becomes low, so that the The two PMOS transistors (MP2) are turned on. Therefore, the output is a first high potential voltage (VDDH). However, since 0 volts has no cannot instantaneously convert to 1.8 volts, therefore the lower input voltage (V(IN)) during conversion may not enable the first PMOS transistor (MP1), the second PMOS transistor (MP2), the first NMOS transistor ( MN1) and the second NMOS transistor (MN2) are fully turned on or completely cut off, which will cause a static current (static current) to exist between the first high potential voltage (VDDH) and the ground (GND). This static current will Increased power loss.

再者,閂鎖型的電壓位準轉換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轉換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 converter 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 voltage is the first high potential voltage (VDDH), and the gate-source voltage of the first NMOS transistor (MN1) and the second NMOS transistor (MN2) is the second high potential voltage (VDDL). Therefore, the range of the first high potential voltage (VDDH) that allows the latch-type voltage level converter to 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轉換器,該電壓位準轉換器藉由將第一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。由於鏡像型電壓位準轉換器的性能是由第一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,電壓位準轉換器的性能也不會有太大的改變。因此,鏡像型的電壓位準轉換器可以適用在各種輸出電壓電路。 Figure 2 shows another prior art mirror type voltage level converter. The voltage level converter is connected by connecting the gates of the first PMOS transistor (MP1) and the second PMOS transistor (MP2). together and connected 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, and the first PMOS transistor (MP1) is in saturation region, and its gate voltage is such that the saturation current is 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 voltage level converter 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 voltage The performance of the level converter will not change much either. Therefore, the mirror-type voltage level converter 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)截止時,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 potentials of the first PMOS transistor (MP1) and the second PMOS transistor (MP2) are pulled down, so that Both the first PMOS transistor (MP1) and the second PMOS transistor (MP2) are turned on. In this way, a static current path is generated between the first PMOS transistor (MP1) and the first NMOS transistor (MN1).

有鑑於此,本創作之主要目的係提出一種具改進性能之電壓位準轉換器,其不但能精確且快速地將第一信號轉換為一第二信號,並且可有效地抑制上拉路徑和下拉路徑之間的競爭,進而降低功率損耗。 In view of this, the main purpose of this invention is to propose a voltage level converter with improved performance, which not only can accurately and quickly convert the first signal into a second signal, but also can effectively suppress the pull-up path and pull-down competition between paths, thereby reducing power loss.

When the signal of the enable control terminal (EN) is at a logic high level, the fifth NMOS transistor (MN5) is turned on (ON), and the voltage level converter is in an active state; Now consider the steady-state operation of the voltage level converter when the first signal (V(IN)) is a logic low level (0 volts): the logic low level on the first input terminal (IN) is simultaneously transmitted to the first The input terminal of the inverter (I1), the first NMOS transistor (MN1), the fifth PMOS transistor (MP5) and the gate of the third PMOS transistor (MP3), so that the first NMOS transistor (MN1) is turned off (OFF), and the third PMOS transistor (MP3) and the fifth PMOS transistor (MP5) are both turned on (ON). At this time, the potential of the third node (N3) is pulled up to a Close to the high potential of the first high potential voltage (VDDH), the high potential of the third node (N3) causes the second PMOS transistor (MP2) to turn off (OFF) and the fourth NMOS transistor (MN4) to turn on (ON) ); and the first inverter (I1) transmits the second high potential voltage (VDDL) to the second NMOS transistor (MN2), the sixth PMOS transistor (MP6) and the fourth PMOS transistor (MP4 ) gate, causing the second NMOS transistor (MN2) to be turned on (ON), while the fourth PMOS transistor (MP4) and the sixth PMOS transistor (MP6) are both turned off (OFF). At this time, due to The second NMOS transistor (MN2) and the fourth NMOS transistor (MN4) are both turned on (ON), and the second PMOS transistor (MP2) and the fourth PMOS The transistor (MP4) and the sixth PMOS transistor (MP6) are both turned OFF. Therefore, the potential of the fourth node (N4) will be pulled down to a logic low level (0 volts), and the fourth node (N4) will be pulled down to a logic low level (0 volts). The low potential of the node (N4) causes the first PMOS transistor (MP1) to be turned on (ON) and the third NMOS transistor (MN3) to be turned off (OFF). At this time, due to the first PMOS transistor (MP1), The third PMOS transistor (MP3) and the fifth PMOS transistor (MP5) are both turned on (ON), and the first NMOS transistor (MN1) and the third NMOS transistor (MN3) are both turned off (OFF) , therefore, the potential of the third node (N3) will maintain a logic high level, and the potential of the fourth node (N4) will maintain a steady-state value of a logic low level (0 volts). In other words, when the first signal (V(IN)) is at a logic low level (0 volts), it is converted into a second signal with a logic low level (0 volts) through the voltage level converter, and is output from the output terminal (OUT) output.

再考慮第一信號(V(IN))為邏輯高位準(VDDL)時,電壓位準轉換器的穩態操作情形:第一輸入端(IN)上的邏輯高位準同時傳送到該第一反相器(I1)的輸入端、該第一NMOS電晶體(MN1)、該第五PMOS電晶體(MP5)以及該第三PMOS電晶體(MP3)的閘極,使得該第一NMOS電晶體(MN1)導通(ON),而該第三PMOS電晶體(MP3)和該第五PMOS電晶體(MP5)都關閉(OFF);而該第一反相器(I1)傳送一邏輯低位準(0伏特)到該第二NMOS電晶體(MN2)、該第六PMOS電晶體(MP6)以及該第四PMOS電晶體(MP4)的閘極,使得該第二NMOS電晶體(MN2)關閉(OFF),而該第四PMOS電晶體(MP4)和該第六PMOS電晶體(MP6)都導通(ON),此時,由於該第四PMOS電晶體(MP4)和該第六PMOS電晶體(MP6)都導通(ON),而該第四NMOS電晶體(MN4)關閉(OFF),因此,該第四節點(N4)的電位會被拉升至一 邏輯高位準,再者,該第四節點(N4)的高電位傳送到該第一PMOS電晶體(MP1)和該第一NMOS電晶體(MN1)的閘極,使得該第一PMOS電晶體(MP1)關閉(OFF)、該第三NMOS電晶體(MN3)導通(ON),此時,由於該第一NMOS電晶體(MN1)和該第三NMOS電晶體(MN3)都導通(ON),而該第一PMOS電晶體(MP1)、該第三PMOS電晶體(MP3)以及該第五PMOS電晶體(MP5)都關閉(OFF),因此,該第三節點(N3)的電位會被拉降至一邏輯低位準(0伏特),再者,該第三節點(N3)的邏輯低位準傳送到該第二PMOS電晶體(MP2)和該第四NMOS電晶體(MN4)的閘極,使得該第二PMOS電晶體(MP2)導通(ON)、該第四NMOS電晶體(MN4)關閉(OFF),此時由於該第二NMOS電晶體(MN2)和該第四NMOS電晶體(MN4)都關閉,而該第二PMOS電晶體(MP2)、該第四PMOS電晶體(MP4)以及該第六PMOS電晶體(MP6)都導通(ON),因此,該第四節點(N4)的電位會維持在邏輯高位準的穩態值。質言之,第一信號(V(IN))為邏輯高位準(1.2伏特)時,經過電壓位準轉換器轉換成具高位準(VDDH)的第二信號,由輸出端(OUT)輸出。 Consider again the steady-state operating situation of the voltage level converter when the first signal (V(IN)) is a logic high level (VDDL): the logic high level on the first input terminal (IN) is simultaneously transmitted to the first inverter. The input terminal of the inverter (I1), the first NMOS transistor (MN1), the fifth PMOS transistor (MP5) and the gate of the third PMOS transistor (MP3), so that the first NMOS transistor ( MN1) is turned on (ON), and the third PMOS transistor (MP3) and the fifth PMOS transistor (MP5) are both turned off (OFF); and the first inverter (I1) transmits a logic low level (0 Volts) to the gates of the second NMOS transistor (MN2), the sixth PMOS transistor (MP6) and the fourth PMOS transistor (MP4), so that the second NMOS transistor (MN2) is turned off (OFF) , and the fourth PMOS transistor (MP4) and the sixth PMOS transistor (MP6) are both turned on (ON). At this time, because the fourth PMOS transistor (MP4) and the sixth PMOS transistor (MP6) are turned on (ON), and the fourth NMOS transistor (MN4) is turned off (OFF), therefore, the potential of the fourth node (N4) will be pulled up to a level Logic high level, furthermore, the high potential of the fourth node (N4) is transmitted to the gates of the first PMOS transistor (MP1) and the first NMOS transistor (MN1), so that the first PMOS transistor ( MP1) is turned off (OFF) and the third NMOS transistor (MN3) is turned on (ON). At this time, since the first NMOS transistor (MN1) and the third NMOS transistor (MN3) are both turned on (ON), The first PMOS transistor (MP1), the third PMOS transistor (MP3) and the fifth PMOS transistor (MP5) are all turned off (OFF). Therefore, the potential of the third node (N3) will be pulled drops to a logic low level (0 volts), and further, the logic low level of the third node (N3) is transmitted to the gates of the second PMOS transistor (MP2) and the fourth NMOS transistor (MN4), The second PMOS transistor (MP2) is turned on (ON) and the fourth NMOS transistor (MN4) is turned off (OFF). At this time, due to the second NMOS transistor (MN2) and the fourth NMOS transistor (MN4) ) are all turned off, and the second PMOS transistor (MP2), the fourth PMOS transistor (MP4) and the sixth PMOS transistor (MP6) are all turned on (ON), therefore, the fourth node (N4) The potential will maintain a steady-state value at a logic high level. In other words, when the first signal (V(IN)) is at a logic high level (1.2 volts), it is converted into a second signal with a high level (VDDH) through the voltage level converter, and is output from the output terminal (OUT).

請再參考圖3。當該致能控制端(EN)的信號為邏輯低位準時,該第五NMOS電晶體(MN5)截止(OFF),電壓位準轉換器處於待機(standby)狀態。其工作原理於此不再累述。 Please refer to Figure 3 again. When the signal of the enable control terminal (EN) is at a logic low level, the fifth NMOS transistor (MN5) is turned off (OFF), and the voltage level converter is in a standby state. Its working principle will not be repeated here.

綜上所述,該第一信號(V(IN))為邏輯低位準(0伏特)時,該第二信號(V(OUT))亦為邏輯低位準(0伏特);而該第一信號(V(IN))為邏輯高位準(VDDL)時,該第二信號(V(OUT))為第一高電源供應電壓(VDDH)。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 logic low level (0 volts), the second signal (V(OUT)) is also at a logic low level (0 volts); and the first signal When (V(IN)) is a logic high level (VDDL), the second signal (V(OUT)) is the first high power supply voltage (VDDH). In this way, the purpose of voltage level conversion is achieved.
