Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuits, and in particular to an analog equalizer with adjustable high and low frequency gains. Background Art
[0002] As a large amount of data is generated, people have higher and higher requirements for data transmission rate. However, in serial communication systems, due to the presence of non-ideal factors such as dielectric loss and skin effect in wired channels such as transmission lines and coaxial cables, these non-ideal factors will cause signal attenuation, and the higher the data rate, the greater the attenuation. The more severe the attenuation, the more it affects the integrity of the signal, affecting the normal judgment of the receiving circuit, and causing the system's bit error rate to increase.
[0003] In order to reduce the bit error rate in high-speed serial communication systems, an equalizer that compensates for high-frequency signals is usually added to the receiving end to weaken the attenuation of the limited channel to the signal and obtain a relatively flat overall frequency response. In the transmission of a serial communication system, different wired channels have different attenuations; the same wired channel but different channel lengths have different attenuations; the same wired channel, the same channel length, but different data rates have different attenuations. Because the attenuation of the channel is unpredictable and time-varying, the gain of the equalizer is required to be adjustable to cope with different channel attenuations. However, when facing strong attenuation channel equalization, the existing equalizer has problems such as low low-frequency adjustable range, unadjustable high-frequency peak gain, and excessive layout area. Summary of the invention
[0004] The present invention aims to solve the problems that the existing equalizer has a low adjustable low-frequency range, an unadjustable high-frequency peak gain and an excessively large layout area when equalizing a strongly attenuated channel, and provides an analog equalizer with adjustable high and low frequency gains.

[0034] The first low-frequency fine-tuning equalization circuit, the second low-frequency fine-tuning equalization circuit and the low-frequency coarse-tuning equalization circuit have the same structure, that is, they are all composed of a differential pair with capacitor-resistor source negative feedback. Due to the source negative feedback of the capacitor-resistor, the differential pair generates a zero point and a pole on the left side of the complex frequency domain. The position of the zero point is related to the size of the feedback resistor and the feedback capacitor. When the gain curve passes through this zero point, the gain increases, which can compensate for the channel attenuation after the zero point. In addition, the structure of the first low-frequency fine-tuning equalization circuit, the second low-frequency fine-tuning equalization circuit in parallel and the low-frequency coarse-tuning equalization circuit in series allows the entire equalization circuit to generate three zero points and five poles. When the gain curve passes through each zero point, it will increase at a slope of 20dB / dec. Reasonable adjustment of the feedback resistor and the feedback capacitor values, changing the positional relationship between the zero point and the pole can increase the gain difference between the high frequency and the low frequency, and increase the equalization capability for high-loss channels.
[0035] The first active load network and the second active load network have the same structure, and the balancing circuit and the corresponding load are connected in series, that is, the low-frequency fine-tuning balancing circuit is connected in series with the first active load network, and the low-frequency coarse-tuning balancing circuit is connected in series with the second active load network. The active load network can be equivalent to an active inductor connected in series with a load resistor. The active inductor can provide a zero point and a pole for the equalizer. The existence of the active inductor will reduce the load capacitance of the balancing circuit, thereby increasing the frequency point where the pole is located, and increasing the bandwidth of the equalizer, so that signals with higher transmission rates can be balanced. The feedback circuit takes the output of the low-frequency coarse-tuning balancing circuit as input, and the output compensates for the output of the low-frequency fine-tuning balancing circuit to reduce the zero-point jitter of the differential signal.
[0036] for Figure 1 The high and low frequency adjustable analog equalizer shown in the figure is designed using 0.18μm process and obtained through simulation Figure 2-8 The simulation results are shown in Figure 2.
[0037] Figure 2 When the control voltages VC=0V, VCH=0.9V and VCL=0.9V are fixed, the amplitude-frequency response of the circuit shows a peak value of 16dB, and the frequency corresponding to the peak value is 7.7GHz.
[0038] Figure 3 When the control voltage VC=0V and VCH=0.9V is fixed, the adjustable range of the amplitude-frequency response when the control voltage VCL is changed from 0V to 1.8V is also the adjustable range of the low-frequency fine-tuning equalizer circuit. It can be seen that the low-frequency gain is 2dB when VCL=0V, and the low-frequency gain is 4dB when VCL=1.8V.
[0039] Figure 4When the control voltage VC=0V and VCL=0.9V is fixed, the adjustable range of the amplitude-frequency response when the control voltage VCH is changed from 0V to 1.8V is also the adjustable range of the low-frequency coarse adjustment equalization circuit. It can be seen that when VCH=0V, the low-frequency gain is -1.6dB, and when VCH=1.8V, the low-frequency gain is 4.9dB.
[0040] Figure 5 When the control voltage VC is fixed at 0V, the adjustable range of the amplitude-frequency response when the control voltages VCH and VCL are changed from 0V to 1.8V is also the overall adjustable range of the low-frequency coarse-tuning equalizer circuit and the low-frequency fine-tuning equalizer. It can be seen that when VCH=0V and VCL=0V, the low-frequency gain is -2.7dB, and when VCH=1.8V and VCL=1.8V, the low-frequency gain is 5.8dB.
[0041] Figure 6-7 In order to change the inductance of the active inductor in the active load when the control voltage VC changes from 0V to 0.6V, the reason why the equalizer is adjustable at high frequency is because the inductance of the active inductor is adjustable.
[0042] Figure 8 To change the control voltage VC from 0V to 0.6V, and change the control voltage VCH and VCL from 0V to 1.8V, the adjustable range of the amplitude-frequency response is also the adjustable range of the overall equalizer circuit. It can be seen that the low-frequency adjustable range is from -6dB to 6.5dB, and the high-frequency peak adjustable range is from 11.1dB to 16.1dB.
[0043] It should be noted that, although the embodiments of the present invention described above are illustrative, they are not intended to limit the present invention, and therefore the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, any other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art under the guidance of the present invention are deemed to be within the protection of the present invention.
