Description

Maximum voltage selection circuit
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to the field of integrated circuit technologies, and in particular, to a maximum voltage selection circuit.
Background
The use of a maximum voltage selection circuit in an integrated circuit is often required, and the main function of the maximum voltage selection circuit is to select one maximum voltage output from a plurality of existing voltages for use by other circuits in the integrated circuit.
Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a three-way voltage maximum voltage selection circuit in the prior art. As shown in fig. 1, the maximum voltage selection circuit 100 includes a first input port connected to a first input voltage VCC1, a second input port connected to a second input voltage VCC2, a third input port connected to a third input voltage VCC3, and an output port providing an output voltage Vmax, and transistors Mp1 to Mp6, and the maximum voltage selection circuit 100 is capable of selecting the maximum voltage as the output voltage Vmax when a voltage difference between the first input voltage VCC1, the second input voltage VCC2, and the third input voltage VCC3 is large. However, since the first input voltage VCC1, the second input voltage VCC2, and the third input voltage VCC3 are not 0 in general, a P-type metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (PMOS) having the first input voltage VCC1, the second input voltage VCC2, or the third input voltage VCC3 as a gate voltage will cause a driving capability of the output voltage Vmax to be insufficient, and when the voltage difference between the first input voltage VCC1, the second input voltage VCC2, and the third input voltage VCC3 is small or equal, the PMOS in the maximum voltage selection circuit 100 cannot operate normally, and cannot generate the output voltage Vmax.
Fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of another prior art maximum voltage selection circuit. As shown in fig. 2, the maximum voltage selection circuit 200 includes a first input port connected to a first input voltage Vin1, a second input port connected to a second input voltage Vin2, and an output port for providing an output voltage Vmax, and a transistor Mp1, a transistor Mp2, a diode D1, and a diode D2, wherein the transistor Mp1 is connected between the first input port and the output port, a control terminal of the transistor Mp1 is connected to the second input port, an anode of the diode D1 is connected to the first input port, a cathode is connected to the output port, the transistor Mp2 is connected between the second input port and the output port, a control terminal of the transistor Mp2 is connected to the first input port, an anode of the diode D2 is connected to the second input port, and a cathode is connected to the output port, and when the transistor Mp1/Mp2 is not turned on, a voltage Vmax of the output node is MAX (Vin 1, 2) -Vd, that is, the voltage Vmax of the first input voltage and the second input voltage Vin2 is subtracted by the diode D1/D2. Vth is defined as the on threshold voltage of the transistor Mp1/Mp 2. When the first input voltage Vin1 is lower than (Vin 2-Vd-Vth), the transistor Mp2 is turned on, the output node is selectively connected to the second input voltage Vin2 through the transistor Mp2, and similarly, when the second input voltage Vin2 is lower than (Vin 1-Vd-Vth), the transistor Mp1 is turned on, and the output node is selectively connected to the first input voltage Vin1 through the transistor Mp 1. Since iload_ron is much smaller than Vd, the voltage output node voltage vmax=vin 2-iload_ron 2 at this time, or vmax=vin 1-iload_ron 1. Wherein Iload is the load current at the output node, ron1/Ron2 is the on-resistance of the transistor Mp1/Mp 2.
In order to have no voltage drop loss, the closer the voltage Vmax of the output node is to the second input voltage Vin2 (or the first input voltage Vin 1), the better. I.e. the smaller Ron2 (Ron 1) the better. And the Ron of a transistor is inversely proportional to its own width to length ratio (W/L) and gate-to-source voltage Vgs. When the first input voltage Vin1 is low, the transistor Mp2 is turned on, and the gate-source voltage vgs=vmax-Vin 1. When the second input voltage Vin2 is low, the transistor Mp1 is turned on, and the gate-source voltage vgs=vmax-Vin 2. Here Vin1/Vin2 is fixed, and for Ron to be small, the size of W/L can be increased, thereby increasing the area, which increases the manufacturing cost of the circuit.

In a specific implementation scenario, in response to the sum of the first input voltage Vin1 and the on voltage (Vth) of the transistor Mp0 being smaller than the second input voltage Vin2, the transistor Mp0 is in an on state, and the input unit 310 provides the detection signal V2 of the first state.
In another specific implementation scenario, in response to the sum of the second input voltage Vin2 and the on voltage (Vth) of the transistor Mp0 being smaller than the first input voltage Vin1, the transistor Mp0 is in an off state, and the input unit 310 provides the detection signal V2 in the second state.

Further, any one of the aforementioned transistors Mp0, mp1 and Mp2 is a metal oxide semiconductor field effect Transistor (Metal Oxide Semiconductor FILED EFFECT Transistor, abbreviated as MOS Transistor). More specifically, the aforementioned transistors Mp0, mp1 and Mp2 are PMOS transistors.
Further, in the present embodiment, the width-to-length ratio of the transistor Mp1 is the same as that of the transistor Mp2, and the on voltages of the transistor Mp1 and the transistor Mp2 are Vth. Of course, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and in other alternative embodiments, the aspect ratio of the two may be other different combinations.
Further, any one of the diode D1 and the diode D2 is a schottky diode, and the forward turn-on voltages of the diode D1 and the diode D2 are the same, and are Vd. Of course, the disclosure is not limited thereto, and in other alternative embodiments, the diodes D1 and D2 may be other types of diodes, and the turn-on voltages of the two may be other different combinations.
According to the prior art maximum voltage selection circuit 200 shown in fig. 2, the closer the output voltage Vmax is to the second input voltage Vin2 (or the first input voltage Vin 1) for no voltage drop loss, the better. That is, the smaller the on-resistance Ron2 of the transistor Mp2 (the on-resistance Ron1 of the transistor Mp 1) is, the better. Ron of the transistor is inversely proportional to both W/L and gate-source voltage Vgs. When the first input voltage Vin1 is low, the transistor Mp2 is turned on, the gate-source voltage vgs=vmax-Vin 1, and when the second input voltage Vin2 is low, the transistor Mp1 is turned on, the gate-source voltage vgs=vmax-Vin 2. Here Vin1/Vin2 is constant, and for small Ron, only the W/L size can be increased, which results in an increase in circuit area and thus manufacturing cost.
In the maximum voltage selection circuit 300 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when Vin1 is lower than Vin2-Vth, the transistor Mp0 is turned on to pull the potential of the intermediate node signal V1 to the second input voltage Vin2, and the output voltage is:
Vmax=Vin2-Vd (1)
Where Vd is the forward turn-on voltage of diode D2. Since the potential of the intermediate node signal V1 is higher than the potential of the output voltage Vmax, the voltage of the detection signal V2 is 0V, and the inverted signal V3 of the detection signal V2 is output as Vmax, and as a result, the transistor Mp1 is turned off and the transistor Mp2 is turned on, so that the second input voltage Vin2 is selected, and the output voltage at this time is:
Vmax=Vin2-Iload*Ron2 (2)
wherein Iload is the load current at the output terminal, ron2 is the on-resistance of transistor Mp 2.
Since the voltage of the detection signal V2 is 0V, the gate-source voltage vgs=vmax of the transistor Mp 2.
Similarly, when the second input voltage Vin2 is lower than Vin1-Vth, the transistor Mp0 is turned off, the potential of the intermediate node signal V1 is pulled to 0V by the current source I1, and the voltage of the detection signal V2 is:
V2=Vmax=Vin1-Vd (3)
where Vd is the forward turn-on voltage of diode D1. Meanwhile, the inverted signal V3 of the detection signal V2 is output as 0V, the transistor Mp2 is turned off, and the transistor Mp1 is turned on, so that the first input voltage Vin1 is selected, and at this time, the output voltage is:
Vmax=Vin1-Iload*Ron1 (4)
Wherein Iload is the load current at the output terminal, ron1 is the on-resistance of transistor Mp1. Since the voltage of the inverted signal V3 of the detection signal V2 is 0V, the gate-source voltage vgs=vmax of the transistor Mp1.
As can be seen from the comparison, the maximum voltage selection circuit 300 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure increases the gate-source voltage Vgs of the transistor Mp 1/Mp 2 by the value of the first input voltage Vin1 or the second input voltage Vin 2. Therefore, the same on-resistance Ron as in the technical scheme shown in fig. 2 can be realized with a small W/L size. Thereby reducing the area of the integrated circuit and saving the manufacturing cost thereof.
In summary, the maximum voltage selection circuit 300 provided in the embodiment of the disclosure has a first input port connected to the first input voltage Vin1, a second input port connected to the second input voltage Vin2, and an output port for providing the output voltage Vmax, and the maximum voltage selection circuit 300 further includes an input unit 310 connected to the first input port and the second input port and generating the detection signal V2 according to the first input voltage Vin1 and the second input voltage Vin2, a first output unit 320 connected to the output terminal of the input unit 310, the first input port, and the output port and generating the output voltage Vmax according to the first input voltage Vin1 in response to the detection signal V2 in a first state, and a second output unit 330 connected to the output terminal of the input unit 310, the second input port, and the output port in response to the detection signal V2 in a second state, generating the output voltage Vmax according to the second input voltage Vin2, and the maximum voltage selection circuit 300 selecting one of the first output unit 320 and the output unit in a second state to the output terminal of the load 330 in response to the detection signal V2. Therefore, the maximum voltage selection circuit 300 can effectively reduce the voltage drop loss while realizing the maximum voltage selection, and reduces the on-resistance by increasing the gate-source voltage Vgs of the transistor (Mp 1/Mp 2) in the circuit, so that the transistor with smaller W/L size can be used to realize the same on-resistance as the prior art scheme (shown in fig. 2), thereby reducing the size of the transistor in the circuit, further reducing the integrated area of the circuit and reducing the manufacturing cost thereof.
It should be noted that although the device is described herein as an N-channel or P-channel device, or an N-type or P-type doped region, one of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that complementary devices may be implemented in accordance with the present invention. It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that conductivity type refers to a mechanism by which electrical conduction occurs, such as by hole or electron conduction, so conductivity type does not relate to doping concentration but rather to doping type, such as P-type or N-type. It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that the terms "during", "when" and "when" as used herein in relation to circuit operation are not strict terms that refer to actions that occur immediately upon initiation of a start-up action, but rather there may be some small but reasonable delay or delays between them and the reactive action (reaction) initiated by the start-up action, such as various transmission delays and the like. The word "about" or "substantially" is used herein to mean that an element value (element) has a parameter that is expected to be close to the stated value or position. However, as is well known in the art, there is always a slight deviation such that the value or position is difficult to strictly assume the stated value. It has been well established in the art that deviations of at least ten percent (10%) (at least twenty percent (20%)) for semiconductor doping concentrations are reasonable deviations from the exact ideal targets described. When used in connection with a signal state, the actual voltage value or logic state of the signal (e.g., "1" or "0") depends on whether positive or negative logic is used.
Furthermore, it should be noted that relational terms such as first and second, and the like are used solely to distinguish one entity or action from another entity or action without necessarily requiring or implying any actual such relationship or order between such entities or actions. Moreover, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one does not exclude the presence of other like elements in a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises an element.
Finally, it should be noted that the above-mentioned examples are given for the purpose of illustration only and are not intended to limit the embodiments. Other variations or modifications of the above teachings will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. It is not necessary here nor is it exhaustive of all embodiments. And obvious variations or modifications thereof are contemplated as falling within the scope of the present disclosure.
