Description

Use the single ended input voltage level translator of grid voltage control
The present invention relates to the signal voltage level transducer between a kind of integrated circuit (Integrated Circuit, be called for short IC), particularly a kind of voltage level shifter that uses the single-ended input that grid voltage controls.
Because semiconductor fabrication process demand benefit for low power consumption IC on deep-sub-micrometer (deep sub-micron) technological progress and the market increases, make that the operating voltage of IC inside is more and more lower, reduce to 3.3V or 2.5V from 5V in the past, and even reduced to 1.8V recently.But the signal transmission between the different IC must meet the bus-bar specification of industrial standard, can not follow the operating voltage of IC inside to diminish so export/go into buffer (input/output buffer) with the outside voltage level that connects of IC.
With reference to Fig. 1, it is two schematic diagrames that the signal between IC transmits.
As shown in the figure, the bus bar voltage specification of supposing the data passes between IC 110 and the IC 120 is Vpp (for example 3.3V), and the operating voltage of the core circuit among the IC 110 (core) 115 is Vdd 1(for example 3.3V, 2.5V or lower and 1.8V), the operating voltage of the core circuit 125 among the IC 120 then is Vdd 2Because it is different that the operating voltage of IC inside and external data are transmitted used voltage level, therefore have voltage level shifter 116 responsible voltage of signals level conversion between the core circuit 115 in IC 110 and the holding wire 130, the low voltage operating conversion of signals of IC inside is become the high voltage operation signal.Same, also have voltage level shifter 126 between core circuit 125 in IC120 and the holding wire 130 and be responsible for the voltage of signals level conversion.
With reference to Fig. 2 A, it is a kind of known voltage level shifter.
As shown in the figure, known voltage level shifter 200 comprise transistor 211,212,221, with 222, and inverter 230.Input signal Vi and be coupled to the grid of transistor 221 and 222 respectively through the complementary input signal Vi of inverter 230 output, therefore at one time in, have only a meeting conducting among the transistor 221 and 222. Transistor 211 and 212 is connected into regenerative structure in addition, can make the high-tension output signal Vo of output and complementary output signal Vo keep complementary state.
With reference to Fig. 2 B, it is the input signal Vi of known voltage level shifter 200 and the waveform of complementary output signal Vo.
At first, at time t 1, input signal Vi is Vdd (complementary input signal Vi is 0V), will make transistor 221 conductings and transistor 222 close this moment.This circuit is in when design, and the driving force that is about to transistor 221 and 222 is set at greater than transistor 211 and 212, so when the stable state of transistor 221 in conducting, will make complementary output signal Vo maintain 0V, and make transistor 212 conductings.Because transistor 222 closes and transistor 212 conductings, institute is so that output signal Vo maintains Vpp, and transistor 211 is closed.
When input signal Vi becomes 0V by Vdd, complementary input signal Vi will become Vdd, when just beginning to switch, and transistor 211 not conductings, transistor 221 is become by conducting closes, so complementary output signal Vo maintains 0V.At this moment, transistor 222 beginning conductings, because the grid of complementary output signal Vo oxide-semiconductor control transistors 212 makes transistor 212 keep conducting, therefore in this moment, the transistor 212 and 222 of series connection becomes conducting simultaneously.But because the driving force of transistor 222 is greater than transistor 212, and this moment, the drain electrode and the voltage difference between the source electrode of transistor 222 were bigger than the drain electrode and the voltage difference between the source electrode of transistor 212, so can being stayed by Vpp, the current potential of output signal Vo falls, at the same time, also can make transistor 211 conducting gradually, the related current potential of complementary output signal Vo that makes is toward rising.The current potential of complementary output signal Vo rises and also will impel transistor 212 to close, and makes the easier decline of output signal Vo.Forward circulation like this makes output signal Vo be stabilized in 0V at last and complementary output signal Vo is stabilized in Vpp, as the time t among the figure 2Shown in.
Though known voltage level shifter can reach the function of voltage of signals level conversion, but know by above discussion, in the process of switching, the transistor 211 and the transistor 221 of series connection, or transistor 212 and transistor 222 conducting simultaneously, and relying on the driving force of transistor 221 greater than transistor 211 again after the conducting fully, or the driving force of transistor 222 is greater than transistor 212, output signal Vo, or complementary output signal Vo is pulled to last stable potential, reaches the purpose of switching.Because in the process of switching, be connected on two transistors conducting simultaneously between power supply and the ground wire, make switching time elongated, reaction speed slows down, and because of the effect of direct-current short circuit power consumption is increased.
Therefore by above discussion, the handoff procedure of known voltage level shifter is because the conducting simultaneously of the transistor of series connection as can be known, and makes switching time elongated, and speed slows down, and than power consumption.

As shown in the figure, voltage level shifter 300 comprise transistor 310,312,314, with 316 and inverter 330 and 332.Wherein transistor 310 is N type metal oxide semiconductor (N typeMetal Oxide Semiconductor, be called for short NMOS) field-effect transistor (Field Effect Transistor, be called for short FET), and transistor 312,314, and 316 all be P-type mos (P typeMetal Oxide Semiconductor, be called for short PMOS) FET.Inverter 330 and 332 power supply are all power supply Vpp in addition.
Below explain the operation principles of voltage level shifter 300.
Making the input of inverter 330 is node N1, and the grid of transistor 310 is node N2.Output signal Vo changes can oxide- semiconductor control transistors 312 and 314 and change the current potential of node N2, when output signal Vo is 0V, when complementary output signal Vo is Vpp, transistor 312 will be closed, transistor 314 conductings, this moment, the current potential of node N2 was Vpp, and is relative, when output signal Vo is Vpp, when complementary output signal Vo is 0V, to make transistor 312 conductings, transistor 314 is closed, and this moment, the current potential of node N2 was Vdd.
When input signal Vi is 0V, the current potential of pipe node N2 is not Vpp or Vdd, all will make transistor 310 conductings, makes the current potential of node N1 become 0V, the complementary output signal Vo of inverter 330 outputs then becomes Vpp, and the output signal Vo of inverter 332 outputs becomes 0V.Because complementary output signal Vo is Vpp, transistor 316 will be closed, therefore the current potential of node N1 can maintain 0V, the change of output signal Vo and complementary output signal Vo in addition, transistor 312 will be closed, and making transistor 314 conductings, the current potential that makes node N2 is Vpp.
When input signal Vi rises to Vdd by 0V, because the current potential of node N2 is Vpp, and Vpp is greater than Vdd, so the current potential of node N1 can rise to the current potential near Vdd, make the complementary output signal Vo of inverter 330 outputs can switch to 0V, the output signal Vo of inverter 332 outputs then switches to Vpp.Because the variation of output signal Vo and complementary output signal Vo makes transistor 312 conductings, and transistor 314 closes, and the potential drop that makes node N2 is to Vdd.The grid of transistor 310 and the current potential of source electrode are all Vdd at this moment, and promptly the potential difference between grid and source electrode becomes 0V, and transistor 310 is closed.And the complementary output signal Vo of 0V can make transistor 316 conductings, and the current potential of node N1 is promoted to Vpp, and the consumption of no direct current between the source electrode of transistor 310 and drain electrode.
Inverter is the most basic element in the CMOS digit circuit, and its time delay is minimum, fastest, and voltage level shifter of the present invention is realized voltage level converting at a high speed by the advantage of inverter.And this circuit can be eliminated direct current via suitably arranging inverter.Therefore the voltage level shifter of designing can reach the high-speed purpose of low power consumption, and the ratio that does not need voltage level shifter as is well known will carefully adjust the driving force between the transistor just can reach best function.
In addition, also do not need to provide complementary input signal Vi, and can directly use when exporting at the complementary output signal Vo that the inverter of voltage level shifter of the present invention is exported via extra inverter at voltage level shifter of the present invention.

When the amplitude of input signal Vi and output signal Vo differs too big, promptly Vdd<<Vpp, can use the twin-stage voltage level shifter 700 of two-stage structure as shown in Figure 7 to carry out conversion of signals, so that can reach optimization time of delay.
