Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of power supply circuits, in particular to a common-mode noise reduction level shift circuit. Background Art

[0002] In the design process of integrated circuits, level shift technology is often used to convert low-voltage signals into high-voltage signals, thereby achieving control of high-voltage output stages by low-voltage logic.

[0003] As a circuit structure of an integrated circuit, the structure of the pulse generating circuit includes an inverter X1, a first pulse unit XA, and a second pulse unit XB. The level shift circuit includes a first high-voltage tube HN1, a second high-voltage tube HN2, a resistor R1, a resistor R2, and a filter circuit. The input end of the inverter X1 is connected to the input end of the first pulse unit XA, and the output end of the inverter X1 is connected to the input end of the second pulse unit XB. The first pulse unit XA and the second pulse unit XB generate a pulse signal XA and a pulse signal XB respectively. The two pulse signals XA and XB control the high-voltage signals HN1 and HN2 respectively. The two high-voltage tubes and the load resistors R1 and R2 connected to them together form a level shift circuit for level shift conversion, and then are connected to the output end of the circuit through a filter circuit. However, the traditional level shift circuit has two shortcomings:

[0004] On the one hand, the traditional level shift circuit has a weak ability to suppress dv / dt noise. When the VS voltage connected to the filter circuit quickly jumps from low voltage to high voltage, the noise will be coupled to the internal circuit, causing errors in the internal logic.

[0051] In this embodiment, when the input signal IN is at a low level, the pulse signals Pulse_R and Pulse_F output a low level, and the first NMOS transistor HN1 and the second NMOS transistor HN2 are turned off. At this time, the signals at the RA potential point and the FA potential point are pulled to a high level VB by the first common mode unit M1 and the second common mode unit M2 circuits to form a high-side power point VB. Since the RA potential point and the FA potential point control the electrical signals at the second current source I2, the third current source I3 and the first current source I1, and the fourth current source I4, respectively, the first current source I1 and the second current source I2 in the first common mode unit M1 and the second common mode unit M2 in No current is generated at the third current source I3 and the fourth current source I4. In addition, since one end of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 are connected to the high-side ground VS, the signals at RC and FC are pulled to VS, the first medium voltage / low voltage NMOS tube N1 and the second medium voltage / low voltage NMOS tube N2 are turned off, and the inputs of the second digital unit inverter X2 and the third digital unit inverter X3 are pulled to the high level VB by the fifth current source I5 and the sixth current source I6 respectively, and the RH and FH signals are high-level electrical signals respectively. Since the sixth digital unit NAND gate X6 and the seventh digital unit NAND gate X7 form an RS trigger, OUT outputs a low level.

[0052] When the input signal IN changes from a low level to a high level, the second pulse unit generates a Pulse_R high level signal to turn on the second NMOS transistor HN2, and the second NMOS transistor HN2 is turned on.

[0053] Since the pulse signal Pulse_F is at a low level at this time, the FA signal is pulled to a high level VB by the first common mode unit M1, the second current source I2 and the third current source I3 do not generate current, and the FC signal is pulled to a low level by the second resistor R2. Since the second NMOS tube HN2 is turned on, the RA signal is pulled to a low level (the low level is the VB voltage minus the voltage stabilization value of the second voltage stabilizing diode D2), and at this time the first current source I1 generates a pull-up current, and the fourth current source I4 generates a pull-down current. The pull-down current of the fourth current source I4 continues to pull FC to a low level, the second medium voltage / low voltage NMOS tube N2 continues to be turned off, and the input of the third digital unit inverter X3 continues to be pulled to a high level VB by the sixth current source I6; the first current source I1 generates a pull-up current, and the first current source I 1 charges the first capacitor C1, and the voltage of the RC signal gradually increases. When the charging voltage of the RC signal is greater than the threshold voltage of the first medium voltage / low voltage NMOS tube N1, the first medium voltage / low voltage NMOS tube N1 is turned on, and the input end of the second digital unit inverter X2 is pulled to a low level. Since the input end of the third digital unit inverter X3 is at a high level, the FH signal is at a high level. At this time, the RH signal outputs a low level, the seventh digital unit NAND gate X7 outputs a low level, OUT outputs a high level, and the output is turned on.

[0054] When the pulse signal Pulse_R changes from a high level to a low level, the second NMOS tube HN2 is turned off, the RA signal is gradually pulled to a high level VB by the second common mode unit M2 circuit, the first current source I1 and the fourth current source I4 generate no current, the RC signal is gradually discharged to a low level through the first resistor R1, the first medium voltage / low voltage NMOS tube N1 is turned off, the input end of the second digital unit inverter X2 is pulled to a high level by the fifth current source I5, and RH outputs a high level. Since the seventh digital unit NAND gate X7 outputs a low level at the previous moment and the sixth digital unit NAND gate X6 and the seventh digital unit NAND gate X7 form an RS trigger, the seventh digital unit NAND gate X7 continues to output a low level, and the OUT output maintains a high level.

[0055] When the input signal IN changes from a high level to a low level, the pulse first unit generates a Pulse_F high level signal to turn on the first NMOS tube HN1, and the first NMOS tube HN1 is turned on. Since Pulse_R is a low level at this time, the RA signal is pulled to a high level VB by the second common mode unit M2 circuit, the first current source I1 and the fourth current source I4 have no current generated, and the RC signal is pulled to a low level by the first resistor R1.

[0056] Since the first NMOS transistor HN1 is turned on, the FA signal is pulled to a low level (the low level is the VB voltage minus the voltage regulation value of the Zener transistor D1). At this time, the third current source I3 generates a pull-up current, and the second current source I2 generates a pull-down current. The pull-down current of the second current source I2 continues to pull RC to a low level, and the first medium voltage / low voltage NMOS transistor N1 continues to be turned off. The input of the second digital unit inverter X2 is continued to be pulled to a high level VB by the fifth current source I5; the third current source I3 generates a pull-up current, and the pull-up current of the third current source I3 is given to the second current source I3. The capacitor C2 is charged, and the voltage of the FC signal gradually increases. When the charging voltage of the FC signal is greater than the threshold voltage of the second medium voltage / low voltage NMOS tube N2, the second medium voltage / low voltage NMOS tube N2 is turned on, and the input end of the third digital unit inverter X3 is pulled to a low level. Since the input end of the second digital unit inverter X2 is at a high level, the RH signal is at a high level. At this time, the FH signal outputs a low level, the seventh digital unit NAND gate X7 outputs a high level, the sixth digital unit NAND gate X6 outputs a low level, OUT outputs a low level, and the output is turned off.

[0057] When the pulse signal Pulse_F changes from a high level to a low level, the first NMOS tube HN1 is turned off, the FA signal is gradually pulled to a high level VB by the first common mode unit M1 circuit, the second current source I2 and the third current source I3 generate no current, the FC signal is gradually discharged to a low level through the second resistor R2, the second medium voltage / low voltage NMOS tube N2 is turned off, the input end of the third digital unit inverter X3 is pulled to a high level by the fourth resistor R4, and FH outputs a high level. Since the sixth digital unit NAND gate X6 outputs a low level at the previous moment and the sixth digital unit NAND gate X6 and the seventh digital unit NAND gate X7 form an RS trigger, the seventh digital unit NAND gate X7 continues to output a high level, and the OUT output maintains a low level.

[0058] By changing the circuit parameters in the first common-mode unit M1 and the second common-mode unit M2 , the charging current and the transmission delay of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 can be adjusted.

[0059] like Figure 5-Figure 6 As shown, from Figure 6 It can be seen from the circuit simulation waveform that the high-side ground VS signal jumps from 0V to 200V in 1ns, the logic signal has no errors, and the OUT output has no abnormal phenomena, indicating that this common-mode noise reduction level shift circuit architecture has high dv / dt capability.

[0060] like Figure 7 As shown, from Figure 7 It can be seen from the circuit simulation waveform that when the voltage of VBS is constant, the working negative voltage of VS can be as high as -10V.

[0061] In summary, this high transient voltage common-mode noise reduction level shift circuit architecture has a strong ability to suppress dv / dt noise, and can effectively solve the logic error problem caused by noise coupling when the high-side ground VS quickly jumps from low voltage to high voltage; it has a low operating voltage, and when the VBS voltage is constant, the negative voltage of the high-side ground VS can be as high as -10V; the transmission delay is low, and it can work under high frequency conditions.
