[0046] The present application is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be understood as limiting the present application.
[0047] Example 1
[0048] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the level conversion circuit 100 includes a signal input terminal 110, a signal output terminal 120, a first output unit 130, a first control unit 140, a second output unit 150, and a second control unit 160. The signal input terminal 110 is used to connect to an AC power source such as a microcontroller unit or a field programmable gate array. The AC power source outputs an AC voltage signal of, for example, 0 to 3.3V.
[0049] The first output unit 130 is connected to the first power supply 171 and the signal output terminal 120. The first output unit 130 is used to control whether the first power supply 171 and the signal output terminal 120 are connected. For example, if the voltage of the first power supply 171 is 12V, when the first output unit 130 controls the first power supply 171 and the signal output terminal 120 to be connected, the signal output terminal 120 outputs a voltage of 12V. The first control unit 140 is connected to the first power supply 171, the ground terminal 172, the signal input terminal 110, and the first output unit 130. The first control unit 140 controls the operation of the first output unit 130 based on the signal from the signal input terminal 110, that is, controls whether the first power supply 171 and the signal output terminal 120 are connected.
[0050] The second output unit 150 is connected with the ground terminal 172 and the signal output terminal 120, and is used to control the ground terminal 172 and the signal output terminal 120 to be turned on or turned off. For example, when the voltage of the ground terminal 172 is 0 and the second output unit 150 controls the ground terminal 172 and the signal output terminal 120 to be turned on, the voltage output by the signal output terminal 120 is 0. The second control unit 160 is connected with the second power supply 173, the ground terminal 172, the signal input terminal 110 and the second output unit 150. The signal input terminal 110 controls one of the signals of the second power supply 173 and the ground terminal 172 to be output to the second output unit 150, so as to control the second output unit 150 to work, that is, to control the ground terminal 172 and the signal output terminal 120 to be turned on or turned off. That is, the alternating voltage signal input by the signal input terminal 110 controls the signal output terminal 120 to output a high level of 12V or a low level of 0V, so as to realize the level conversion of the signal input by the signal input terminal 110.
[0051] It should be understood that the voltage of the first power supply 171 is 12V and the voltage of the ground terminal 172 is 0, which are only exemplary descriptions. The voltages of the first power supply 171 and the ground terminal 172 can be increased or decreased according to the actual needs of the implementation of the level conversion, so as to meet the actual needs of the step-up or step-down level conversion.
[0052] In the embodiment, the level conversion circuit 100 comprises a signal input terminal 110, a signal output terminal 120, a first output unit 130, a first control unit 140, a second output unit 150 and a second control unit 160. The first output unit 130 is connected with the first power supply 171 and the signal output terminal 120, and is used to control the first power supply 171 and the signal output terminal 120 to be turned on or turned off. The first control unit 140 is connected with the first power supply 171, the ground terminal 172, the signal input terminal 110 and the first output unit 130, and is used to control the first output unit 130 to work. The second output unit 150 is connected with the ground terminal 172 and the signal output terminal 120, and is used to control the ground terminal 172 and the signal output terminal 120 to be turned on or turned off. The second control unit 160 is connected with the second power supply 173, the ground terminal 172, the signal input terminal 110 and the second output unit 150. The signal input terminal 110 controls one of the signals of the second power supply 173 and the ground terminal 172 to be output to the second output unit 150, so as to control the second output unit 150 to work. The signal input terminal 110 of the present application controls the voltage of the first power supply 171 and the voltage of the ground terminal 172 to be alternately output to the signal output terminal 120, so as to realize the step-up or step-down level conversion of the signal input by the signal input terminal 110, and solve the problem that the voltage of the alternating power supply cannot meet the needs of the driving voltage.
[0053] Referring to Figures 1 to 3As shown, the first output unit 130 includes a first P-type transistor 131, a control terminal of the first P-type transistor 131 is connected to the first control unit 140, a first terminal of the first P-type transistor 131 is connected to the first power supply 171, and a second terminal of the first P-type transistor 131 is connected to the signal output terminal 120. The second output unit 150 includes a first N-type transistor 151, a control terminal of the first N-type transistor 151 is connected to the second control unit 160, a first terminal of the first N-type transistor 151 is connected to the signal output terminal 120, and a second terminal of the first N-type transistor 151 is connected to the ground terminal 172.
[0054] The first P-type transistor 131 and the first N-type transistor 151 are not turned on at the same time. When the first P-type transistor 131 is turned on and the first N-type transistor 151 is turned off, the signal output terminal 120 outputs a high level of 12V. When the first N-type transistor 151 is turned on and the first P-type transistor 131 is turned off, the signal output terminal 120 outputs a low level of 0V. The high and low levels are output alternately, thereby realizing the level conversion of the signal of the signal input terminal 110.
[0055] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first control unit 140 includes a transistor 141, a first resistor 142, and a second resistor 143. The control terminal of the transistor 141 is connected to the signal input terminal 110, the first terminal of the transistor 141 is connected to the first power supply 171 through the first resistor 142, the second terminal of the transistor 141 is connected to the ground terminal 172 through the second resistor 143, and the control terminal of the first P-type transistor 131 is connected to the first node A between the transistor 141 and the first resistor 142.
[0056] When the signal input terminal 110 inputs a voltage of 3.3V, the transistor 141 is turned on, and the current flowing through the second resistor 143 is R2 is the resistance value of the second resistor 143. The first resistor 142 and the second resistor 143 are connected in series. The current flowing through the first resistor 142 is equal to the current flowing through the second resistor 143. The voltage of the control terminal (first node A) of the first P-type transistor 131 is R1 is the resistance value of the first resistor 142, V1 is the voltage of the first power supply 171, and the specific value of the control terminal voltage of the first P-type transistor 131 can be adjusted by the resistance values of the first resistor 142 and the second resistor 143. The gate-source voltage difference of the first P-type transistor 131 is less than 0, the first P-type transistor 131 is turned on, and the signal output terminal 120 outputs a high level of 12V.
[0057] When a voltage of 0V is input to the signal input terminal 110, the transistor 141 is turned off, and the first power supply 171 pulls up the control terminal of the first P-type transistor 131 to 12V through the first resistor 142. The first P-type transistor 131 is turned off to avoid a short circuit caused by the first P-type transistor 131 and the first N-type transistor 151 being turned on at the same time.
[0058] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first control unit 140 also includes a second N-type transistor 144, the control end of the second N-type transistor 144 is connected to the signal input end 110, the first end of the second N-type transistor 144 is connected to the first node A, and the second end of the second N-type transistor 144 is connected to the first end of the transistor 141 through the second node B.
[0059] When the signal input terminal 110 inputs a voltage of 0V, the transistor 141 and the second N-type transistor 144 are turned off simultaneously to prevent the transistor 141 from leaking and causing the first P-type transistor 131 to turn on, thereby affecting the signal output terminal 120 to output a low-level signal of 0V.
[0060] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first control unit 140 also includes a second P-type transistor 145, the control end of the second P-type transistor 145 is connected to the signal output end 120, the first end of the second P-type transistor 145 is connected to the first power supply 171, and the second end of the second P-type transistor 145 is connected to the second node B.
[0061] When a voltage of 3.3V is input to the signal input terminal 110, the transistor 141 and the second N-type transistor 144 are turned on at the same time, the voltage of the first node A controls the first P-type transistor 131 to turn on, the signal output terminal 120 outputs a high level of 12V, and the voltage of the signal output terminal 120 is written into the control terminal of the second P-type transistor 145. The second P-type transistor 145 is turned off to prevent the first power supply 171 from leaking to the second N-type transistor 144 and preventing it from turning on.
[0062] When a 0V voltage is input to the signal input terminal 110, the transistor 141 and the second N-type transistor 144 are turned off at the same time, and the first power supply 171 pulls up the control terminal of the first P-type transistor 131 to 12V through the first resistor 142. The first P-type transistor 131 is turned off to prevent the first P-type transistor 131 and the first N-type transistor 151 from being turned on at the same time and causing a short circuit. The voltage of the signal output terminal 120 is written to the control terminal of the second P-type transistor 145, and the second P-type transistor 145 is turned on. The first power supply 171 writes a 12V voltage to the second node B, so that the second N-type transistor 144 is more completely turned off to reduce leakage.
[0063] In some embodiments, the first control unit 140 comprises a second N-type transistor 144 and a first resistor 142, a control terminal of the second N-type transistor 144 is connected with the signal input terminal 110, a first terminal of the second N-type transistor 144 is connected with the first power supply 171 through the first resistor 142, a second terminal of the second N-type transistor 144 is connected with the ground terminal 172, and a control terminal of the first P-type transistor 131 is connected with a first node A between the second N-type transistor 144 and the first resistor 142.
[0064] The second N-type transistor 144 is used to control the first resistor 142 to be connected or disconnected with the ground terminal 172, and the level conversion circuit 100 has a simpler structure.
[0065] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the second control unit 160 comprises an inverter, and the inverter is connected with the signal input terminal 110 and a control terminal of the first N-type transistor 151.
[0066] When the signal input terminal 110 inputs a 3.3V voltage, the first N-type transistor 151 needs to be turned off to disconnect the ground terminal 172 and the signal output terminal 120, and when the signal input terminal 110 inputs a 0V voltage, the first N-type transistor 151 needs to be turned on to connect the ground terminal 172 and the signal output terminal 120. By connecting the signal input terminal 110 and the control terminal of the first N-type transistor 151 through the inverter, the first N-type transistor 151 can be controlled by the signal input terminal 110, and no additional control signal is needed.
[0067] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the inverter comprises a third P-type transistor 161 and a third N-type transistor 162, a control terminal of the third P-type transistor 161 is connected with the signal input terminal 110, a first terminal of the third P-type transistor 161 is connected with a second power supply 173, and a second terminal of the third P-type transistor 161 is connected with the control terminal of the first N-type transistor 151. The second power supply 173 is used to turn on the first N-type transistor 151, and the voltage of the second power supply 173 is greater than the voltage of the ground terminal 172, for example, the voltage of the second power supply 173 is 3.3V.
[0068] A control terminal of the third N-type transistor 162 is connected with the signal input terminal 110, a first terminal of the third N-type transistor 162 is connected with the control terminal of the first N-type transistor 151, and a second terminal of the third N-type transistor 162 is connected with the ground terminal 172.
[0069] When the signal input terminal 110 inputs a 3.3V voltage, the third P-type transistor 161 is turned off and the third N-type transistor 162 is turned on, the voltage of the ground terminal 172 is written to the control terminal of the first N-type transistor 151, the first N-type transistor 151 is turned off, and the connection between the ground terminal 172 and the signal output terminal 120 is disconnected.
[0070] When 0V is input to the signal input terminal 110 , the third P-type transistor 161 is turned on and the third N-type transistor 162 is turned off. The second power supply 173 writes to the control terminal of the first N-type transistor 151 , and the first N-type transistor 151 is turned on, connecting the ground terminal 172 to the signal output terminal 120 .
[0071] In summary, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown ( Figure 2 and Figure 3 (“×” indicates that the transistor is off), when the level conversion circuit 100 is working:
[0072] When a high level is input to the signal input terminal 110, the transistor 141 and the second N-type transistor 144 are simultaneously turned on, and current flows from the first power supply 171 through the first resistor 142, the second N-type transistor 144, the transistor 141, and the second resistor 143 to the ground terminal 172. The voltage at the first node A between the second N-type transistor 144 and the first resistor 142 controls the first P-type transistor 131 to turn on, thereby connecting the first power supply 171 to the signal output terminal 120. The voltage at the signal output terminal 120 is written to the control terminal of the second P-type transistor 145, and the second P-type transistor 145 is turned off to prevent the first power supply 171 from leaking to the second N-type transistor 144 and preventing it from turning on. The third P-type transistor 161 is turned off and the third N-type transistor 162 is turned on. The voltage at the ground terminal 172 is written to the control terminal of the first N-type transistor 151, and the first N-type transistor 151 is turned off, disconnecting the ground terminal 172 from the signal output terminal 120, so that the signal output terminal 120 stably outputs the voltage of the first power supply 171.
[0073] When a low level is input to the signal input terminal 110, the third P-type transistor 161 is turned on and the third N-type transistor 162 is turned off, the second power supply 173 is written to the control terminal of the first N-type transistor 151, the first N-type transistor 151 is turned on, and the connection between the ground terminal 172 and the signal output terminal 120 is connected; the transistor 141 and the second N-type transistor 144 are turned off at the same time, the first power supply 171 pulls up the control terminal of the first P-type transistor 131 to the voltage of the first power supply 171 through the first resistor 142, and the first P-type transistor 131 is turned off to avoid the first P-type transistor 131 and the first N-type transistor 151 being turned on at the same time and causing a short circuit; the voltage of the signal output terminal 120 is written to the control terminal of the second P-type transistor 145, the second P-type transistor 145 is turned on, and the first power supply 171 writes a 12V voltage to the second node B, so that the second N-type transistor 144 is more completely turned off to reduce leakage.
[0074] For example, the signal at the signal input terminal 110 is an AC voltage signal of 0 to 3.3V, the first power supply 171 is a 12V DC power supply, the signal at the signal output terminal 120 is an AC voltage signal of 0 to 12V, and the signal at the signal input terminal 110 and the signal at the signal output terminal 120 have the same phase. Figure 4 As shown, the level conversion of the signal output from the signal input terminal 110 is achieved.

At least one of the source driver circuit 200 and the gate driver circuit 300 is connected to the level shifter circuit 100. The level shifter circuit 100 can convert the AC voltage signal output by the microcontroller unit or the field programmable gate array and output it to the source driver circuit 200 and / or the gate driver circuit 300 to meet the demand for higher driving voltage.
