Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a semiconductor memory, and in particular to a bias circuit, a bias current adjustment method and an input receiver. Background Art
[0002] In the application field of LPDDR4 (Low Power Double Data Rate SDRAM 4), LVSTL (Low Voltage Swing Terminated Logic) is adopted as the high-speed interface standard.
[0003] According to the LVSTL standard, there is only one on-chip termination resistor (ODT On DieTerminator) to ground (VSSQ), so during data transmission, the swing of the input waveform is between ground and the output resistor and the ODT voltage divider value. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, when the conversion rate (slew rate) is only within a certain range, the swing (swing) of the low-frequency signal at the input end will become larger, and the swing (swing) center point will also become higher, and the swing (swing) of the high-frequency signal at the input end will become smaller, and the swing (swing) center point will also become lower, so the reference voltage (vref) of the input receiver (input buffer) must also be changed accordingly to obtain the best signal reception effect. Since the memory controller can set different output drive capabilities and output high levels, the input signal swing received by LPDDR4 is very small, but the common-mode bias voltage of the input signal will vary greatly. Therefore, when the input receiving circuit works in a wide common-mode input range, the accuracy and sensitivity will be affected, and the power consumption requirement will increase with the different input common-mode bias voltages.

The circuit structure of the input receiver 200 is not unique, and the above is only a preferred embodiment.
[0084] According to the LVSTL standard, the swing of a high-frequency input signal becomes smaller, while the swing of a low-frequency input signal increases, so the input receiver needs to reduce the reference voltage when receiving a high-frequency signal.
[0085] It can be seen that the relationship between the reference voltage and the operating frequency defined by the internal register of LPDDR4 satisfies:
[0086] The lower the reference voltage, the higher the operating frequency.
[0087] In this embodiment, when the input frequency is high, the reference voltage of the input receiving circuit is reduced, and the common-mode reference voltage is increased, and the bias current passing through the first constant resistor 140 in the bias circuit is increased through the amplifier 150, thereby improving the response speed of the input receiving circuit.

[0092] Furthermore, the fourth transistor 160 is a PMOS transistor, the source of the fourth transistor 160 is connected to the drain of the first transistor 110 , and the drain of the fourth transistor 160 is respectively connected to the gate of the first transistor 110 , the drain of the second transistor 120 , and the source of the third transistor 130 .
[0093] In this embodiment, the fourth transistor 160 and the transistor connected to the reference voltage in the input receiving circuit 200 are MOS tubes of the same type and size, and the same size, so that when both are in the same working state, the input receiving circuit is in the best working state.
[0094] In one embodiment, the bias circuit further includes a voltage regulator 170 .
[0095] The voltage regulator 170 is used to adjust the voltage values of the common mode reference voltage and the reference voltage. Figure 5As shown, the voltage regulator 170 includes a selection module 171 and a voltage division module 172 .

The output terminals of the NOT gates 171e of the multiple selection units 171a are connected to a node as the output terminal of the selection module 171.
[0097] See also Figure 7 As shown, the voltage divider module 172 includes a plurality of second fixed-value resistors 172a connected in series, a first multiplexer 172b and a second multiplexer 172c; one end of the first second fixed-value resistor 172a is connected to the reference voltage, and one end of the last second fixed-value resistor 172a is grounded; the input end of the first multiplexer 172b is connected between the lines between each adjacent two second fixed-value resistors 172a, the first multiplexer 172b is connected to the selection unit 171a, and the first multiplexer 172b is used to obtain a reference voltage of a first value according to the selection unit 171a, the input end of the second multiplexer 172c is connected between the lines between each adjacent two second fixed-value resistors 172a, the second multiplexer 172c is connected to the selection unit 171a, and the second multiplexer 172c is used to obtain a common-mode reference voltage of a second value according to the selection unit 171a.

[0099] In this embodiment, the voltage regulator 170 is used to keep the sum of the reference voltage and the common-mode reference voltage constant, so that when the reference voltage changes according to the input signal frequency, the common-mode reference voltage is inversely proportional to it, so that the bias circuit provides an optimal bias current, thereby improving the response performance of the input receiving circuit 200.

[0108] Step S130: Generate a bias current according to the voltage value of the common-mode reference voltage, and input the bias current to the input receiving circuit. In this embodiment, when the input frequency is high, the reference voltage of the input receiving circuit becomes lower, thereby increasing the common-mode reference voltage, increasing the bias current passing through the same resistor in the bias circuit, and thus improving the response speed of the input receiving circuit.
