This paper presents a level-shifting technique for high-voltage power converter applications. The proposed circuit effectively combines capacitive and active coupling of the input low (high) side signal to the output high (low) side to reduce the propagation delay of the level-shifting operation. By using the resulting circuit, (i) the high-side PMOS switch is driven at high speed and (ii) a quasi-zero voltage switching (ZVS) of the low side NMOS switch is achieved. The circuit has been designed and simulated at the transistor level using a 0.18-mu m BCD process. At the high-side, remarkable simulated average level-shifter propagation delay and total driving delay have been achieved: 0.5 ns and 1.9 ns, respectively. The proposed level-shifter consumes 48.5 mu A of average current. |
