Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of crystal oscillator control, and particularly to a crystal oscillator with low phase noise, an electronic timer, and a control method, device, equipment, and computer-readable storage medium for a crystal oscillator. Background Art

[0002] Clocks are used in many fields of today's society, especially in fields such as communication and control. As a key circuit for clock generation, the crystal oscillator is used to amplify the local oscillator signal of the quartz crystal and generate a reference clock that can be used by modules such as phase-locked loops. Since it is used as a reference clock, its performance is particularly important. If the noise of the reference clock generated by the crystal oscillator is not small enough, the phase-locked loop that relies on the reference clock cannot obtain a high-performance output clock; if the power consumption is not low enough, then it will inevitably put higher requirements on the power supply capacity of the upper-level power management chip.

[0003] Once the crystal oscillator starts to oscillate, its amplitude will become larger and larger until the amplitude reaches the amplitude of the supply voltage. At this time, the transconductance MOS (metal oxide semiconductor) transistor that provides the oscillation energy enters the linear region due to the too large amplitude. At this time, the generated oscillation signal is a signal containing many harmonic components, with large phase noise and large power consumption, and cannot be used as an ideal reference clock to be provided to clock generation modules such as phase-locked loops that require low jitter. Moreover, a large oscillation amplitude may even burn out the quartz crystal.

[0058] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0059] It should be pre - explained that in the specification of the present invention, circuit elements are sometimes represented by circuit diagram markings. For example, MN represents an NMOS transistor, MP represents a PMOS transistor, R represents a resistor, C represents a capacitor, and a serial number is added after the circuit diagram marking. For example, MN12 represents the twelfth NMOS transistor MN12, MP7 represents the seventh PMOS transistor MP7, R4 represents the fourth resistor R4, etc.

[0060] The core of the present invention is to provide a crystal oscillator with low phase noise. The schematic diagram of a specific embodiment thereof is as Figure 1 shown, which is called specific embodiment one, and includes an oscillation circuit 01, an amplitude detection circuit 02, and a voltage control circuit 03;

[0061] The amplitude detection circuit 02 is connected to the output end of the oscillation circuit 01 and is used to detect whether the amplitude of the output signal of the oscillation circuit 01 exceeds a preset amplitude threshold;

[0062] The voltage control circuit 03 is connected to the output end of the amplitude detection circuit 02 and is used to determine the input voltage of the oscillation circuit 01 according to the output signal of the amplitude detection circuit 02.

[0063] The oscillation circuit 01 consists of an oscillation core circuit and a bias circuit, as Figure 3 shown. The supply voltage of this circuit is provided by the source VDD_2nd of the controlled MN2. Figure 3 It also includes an off-chip quartz crystal and a load circuit. The oscillation core circuit includes transistors MP1 and MN1 that generate a transconductance Gm, a feedback resistor Rf, and DC-blocking capacitors C1 and C2.

[0064] Figure 4 is the equivalent circuit of the quartz crystal, where Ls, Cs, and Rs represent the equivalent series inductance, series capacitance, and series resistance (internal resistance) of the crystal; Cp represents the capacitance paralleled across the crystal, including package capacitance and parasitic capacitance on the PCB (printed circuit board), etc.

[0065] Except for Ls, Cs, and Rs, the equivalent small-signal AC impedance between points XA and XB is:

[0066]

[0067] where Gm is the sum of the transconductance Gmn1 of MN1 and the transconductance Gmp1 of MP1, and

[0068]

[0069]

[0070] In the above two equations, I d is the current flowing through MN1 and MP1; k N and k P are the process parameters of the NMOS and PMOS transistors; and are the ratios of the gate length to the gate width of the NMOS and PMOS transistors, respectively.

[0071] The equivalent AC impedance is a function of the variable Gm, and its real part is:

[0072]

[0073] Because the internal resistance Rs of the quartz crystal is positive and it consumes energy, in order to start oscillation and maintain oscillation, the real part of the above equation should be negative resistance and its absolute value must be greater than or equal to Rs. Let the following equation hold:

[0074] Re[Zeq] = -Rs;

[0075] Since in practice the external load capacitances CL1 and CL2 are much larger than the parasitic capacitance Cp, the critical transconductance is approximately:

[0076] Gm (critical) = ω 2·Rs·(CL1 + C1 + C2) 2 ;

[0077] Taking the derivative of the expression of the equivalent impedance with respect to Gm, the maximum transconductance can be obtained as:

[0078]

[0079] According to Gm (maximum), and by selecting appropriate and values, the maximum current I required for startup can be obtained d .

[0080] Preferably, it further includes a shaping circuit;

[0081] The shaping circuit is connected to the output end of the oscillation circuit 01;

[0082] The crystal oscillator is connected to an external circuit through the shaping circuit.

[0083] In addition, the shaping circuit further includes a second buffer;

[0084] The shaping circuit is connected to an external circuit through the second buffer.

[0085] A schematic diagram of the circuit structure of a specific embodiment of the shaping circuit is as shown in Figure 7 The shaping circuit consists of three parts, namely a high-pass filter, a comparator, and an output buffer. The high-pass filter is composed of C7 and R5 to ensure that the oscillation signal passes through. The comparator consists of a tail current bias transistor MN28, differential input transistors MN24, MN23, first-stage load transistors MP23, MP24, second-stage output transistors MP26, MN26, MP25, MN25. The buffer consists of a first-stage inverter MP27, MN27 and a second-stage inverter MP28, MN28, aiming to provide appropriate driving ability to the subsequent stage.

[0086] VBN5 determines the tail current of the comparator input stage. The common-mode voltage VB of the positive input terminal VIP of the comparator is provided by a bias circuit and transmitted to the negative input terminal VIN of the comparator through a large resistor R5. In this way, the positive and negative input terminals of the comparator have the same common-mode voltage. When the oscillation signal XA reaches VIN through the DC-blocking capacitor C7, the sine wave signal just oscillates centered on the common-mode voltage, and the comparator outputs a 50% square wave. Of course, waveforms with other duty cycles can also be output, which can be adjusted according to actual needs; after adding the shaping circuit, the output signal of the oscillation circuit 01 can be adjusted according to actual needs, improving the versatility of the crystal oscillator.

[0087] The crystal oscillator with low phase noise provided by the present invention includes an oscillation circuit 01, an amplitude detection circuit 02, and a voltage control circuit 03. The amplitude detection circuit 02 is connected to the output end of the oscillation circuit 01 and is used to detect whether the amplitude of the output signal of the oscillation circuit 01 exceeds a preset amplitude threshold. The voltage control circuit 03 is connected to the output end of the amplitude detection circuit 02 and is used to determine the input voltage of the oscillation circuit 01 according to the output signal of the amplitude detection circuit 02. By adding the amplitude detection circuit 02 and the voltage control circuit 03, the present invention realizes that when the amplitude of the oscillation circuit 01 exceeds the threshold, the working voltage of the oscillation circuit 01 is automatically reduced, achieving the control of the oscillation amplitude and enabling the transconductance MOS transistor of the oscillation circuit 01 to always operate in the saturation region. In this way, the oscillation circuit 01 can not only output a single-frequency sine wave, but also greatly reduce its power consumption and the phase noise of the output signal.

[0088] On the basis of the above specific implementation manner, the voltage control circuit 03 is further improved to obtain the second specific implementation manner, and its structural schematic diagram is as Figure 2 shown, including an oscillation circuit 01, an amplitude detection circuit 02, and a voltage control circuit 03;

[0089] The amplitude detection circuit 02 is connected to the output end of the oscillation circuit 01 and is used to detect whether the amplitude of the output signal of the oscillation circuit 01 exceeds a preset amplitude threshold;

[0090] The voltage control circuit 03 is connected to the output end of the amplitude detection circuit 02 and is used to determine the input voltage of the oscillation circuit 01 according to the output signal of the amplitude detection circuit 02;

[0091] The voltage control circuit 03 includes an amplitude management circuit 031, a release decision circuit 032, and a voltage regulation circuit 033;

[0092] The input end of the amplitude management circuit 031 is connected to the output end of the oscillation circuit 01 and is used to obtain a voltage adjustment signal through the output signal of the oscillation circuit 01;

[0093] The input end of the release decision circuit 032 is connected to the output end of the amplitude detection circuit 02 and the output end of the amplitude detection circuit 02, and is used to determine whether to output the voltage adjustment signal according to the output signal of the amplitude detection circuit 02;

[0094] The input end of the voltage regulation circuit 033 is connected to the output end of the release decision circuit 032 and is used to determine the input voltage of the oscillation circuit 01 according to the voltage adjustment signal.

[0095] The difference between this specific embodiment and the above specific embodiment is that the specific structure of the voltage control circuit 03 is defined in this specific embodiment, and the rest of the structures are the same as those in the above specific embodiment, so they will not be elaborated here.

[0096] As a specific embodiment, the voltage regulating circuit 033 is an amplifying circuit. Specifically, the amplifying circuit is a triode amplifying circuit, and the voltage adjustment signal is amplified by the amplifying circuit and then used as the operating voltage of the oscillation circuit 01.

The schematic diagram of its specific structure is as Figure 5 shown;

[0098] The gates of the sixteenth PMOS transistor MP16 and the eighteenth PMOS transistor MP18 are connected to the first positive power supply, and the drain of the sixteenth PMOS transistor MP16 is respectively connected to the gates of the fifteenth PMOS transistor MP15 and the seventeenth PMOS transistor MP17. The sources of the fifteenth PMOS transistor MP15 and the seventeenth PMOS transistor MP17 are connected to VDD. The drain of the fifteenth PMOS transistor MP15 is connected to the source of the sixteenth PMOS transistor MP16, and the drain of the seventeenth PMOS transistor MP17 is connected to the source of the eighteenth PMOS transistor MP18;

[0099] The gates of the thirteenth NMOS transistor MN13 and the fifteenth NMOS transistor MN15 are connected to the first negative power supply.

And the drain of the fifteenth NMOS transistor MN15 and the drain of the eighteenth PMOS transistor MP18 are grounded through the fifth capacitor C5;

[0101] The output terminal of the oscillation circuit 01 is connected to the gate of the fourteenth NMOS transistor MN14 through the sixth capacitor C6. The gate of the fourteenth NMOS transistor MN14 is connected to a fourth reverse power supply through the fourth resistor R4. The source of the fourteenth NMOS transistor MN14 is grounded, and the drain of the fourteenth NMOS transistor MN14 is connected to the source of the thirteenth NMOS transistor MN13.

[0102] Figure 5 In the amplitude detection circuit 02 in [], a Schmitt trigger is additionally provided after the above structure to convert the high voltage at the Q point into a low voltage during output. Please read in combination with the specific structure of the following voltage control circuit 03.

[0103] Preferably, Figure 5 the amplitude detection circuit 02 in [] further includes a first buffer;

[0104] The amplitude detection circuit 02 is connected to the voltage control circuit 03 through the first buffer.

[0105] Figure 5 The amplitude detection circuit 02 in [] includes MOS transistors MN13, MN14, MN15, MN16, MN17, MP15, MP16, MP17, MP18, resistor R4, and capacitors C6, C5. MOS transistors MP19, MP20, MN19, MN20, MP40, MN40 form a Schmitt trigger. The purpose of introducing the Schmitt trigger is to prevent output errors caused by ripples at the Q point. MP21, MN21 form the first inverter of the buffer, and MP22, MN22 form the second inverter of the buffer.

[0106] The bias voltages VBP1, VBN1, VBN3, and VBN4 are provided by the first positive power supply, the first negative power supply, the third negative power supply, and the fourth negative power supply, respectively. The output signal of the oscillation circuit 01 enters from the XA terminal and is transmitted to the gate XA_INT of MN14 through the DC-blocking capacitor C6. The bias voltage at the XA_INT point is provided by VBN2 through a large resistor R4, and MN14 and MN17 are biased in the subthreshold region. Therefore, when there is no oscillation, a relatively large voltage is output at point P, while a low voltage is output at point Q, and a high voltage is output at STARTUP_OUT, controlling the amplitude management circuit 031 to output a high voltage.

[0107] As the oscillation amplitude increases, the voltage amplitude at point P gradually increases. Since it operates in the subthreshold region, the increase in amplitude causes the DC level at this point to gradually decrease, resulting in the voltage at point Q rising until it approaches the power supply voltage VDD. Due to the presence of the filtering capacitor C5, only the DC component exists at point Q. Finally, a low voltage is output at STARTUP_OUT, controlling the amplitude management circuit 031 to output a preset lower voltage.

[0108] There are certain timing requirements for the startup detection and amplitude management circuit 031, that is, the time when the voltage at point Q in the startup detection circuit becomes high must be earlier than the time when the voltage at point B in the amplitude management circuit 031 becomes high.

Also, the sources of the eighth PMOS transistor MP8, the eleventh PMOS transistor MP11, and the thirteenth PMOS transistor MP13 are connected to VDD. The drain of the thirteenth PMOS transistor MP13 is connected to the source of the fourteenth PMOS transistor MP14. The drain of the eleventh PMOS transistor MP11 is connected to the source of the twelfth PMOS transistor MP12.

[0122] Figure 6In this case, the output signal of the oscillation circuit 01 enters from the XB terminal and is transmitted to the gate XB_INT of MN12 through the DC-blocking capacitor C3. The bias voltage of the XB_INT point is provided by VBN2 through a large resistor R3, and MN12 and MN11 are biased in the subthreshold region. Therefore, when there is no oscillation, a relatively large voltage is output at point A, while the output at point B is a low voltage, so that MP10 is fully turned on. Since the output STARTUP_OUT of the startup detection circuit outputs a high voltage at this time, the gate voltage VREF of MN5 is 0, causing MN5, MP5, MP4, MP7, and MN4 to all turn off. In this way, the voltage of MN2 is controlled, and AMP_REG approaches the power supply voltage VDD because of the conduction of MP8, MP9, and MP10.

[0123] As the oscillation amplitude increases, the voltage amplitude at point A gradually increases. Since it operates in the subthreshold region, the increase in amplitude causes the DC level at this point to gradually decrease, and the voltage at point B begins to rise. Due to the presence of the filter capacitor C0 at point B, the oscillation amplitude at this point is approximately 0. When the oscillation amplitude increases to a certain value, point B will rapidly increase to approach the power supply voltage VDD, thereby turning off MP10. On the other hand, the output STARTUP_OUT of the startup detection circuit outputs a low voltage, and VREF becomes the value divided by R1 and R2. A two-stage operational transconductance amplifier composed of MN5, MP5, MP4, MP7, MN4, MN7, and MN6 is established. The voltage at point C is equal to VREF, and the voltage at the AMP_REG point is thus determined. This node is the voltage to be adjusted, which controls the amplitude of the oscillator.

[0124] Preferably, the amplitude management circuit 031 further includes a filter capacitor C4, which functions to filter out the glitches at the AMP_REG point.

[0125] In this specific embodiment, the voltage control circuit 03 does not require an external power supply, but obtains the voltage adjustment signal from the output signal of the oscillation circuit 01, which simplifies the structure of the crystal oscillator and saves the power consumption of the crystal oscillator.

[0126] Figure 10 is the transient waveform of point XA, Figure 11 is the transient waveform of point XB, Figure 10 、 11 The turning points in are formed by the bias of the oscillation circuit 01 controlled by the voltage control circuit 03.

The crystal oscillator with low phase noise provided by the present invention includes an oscillation circuit 01, an amplitude detection circuit 02 and a voltage control circuit 03; the amplitude detection circuit 02 is connected to the output end of the oscillation circuit 01 and is used for detecting whether the amplitude of the output signal of the oscillation circuit 01 exceeds a preset amplitude threshold value; the voltage control circuit 03 is connected to the output end of the amplitude detection circuit 02 and is used for determining the input voltage of the oscillation circuit 01 according to the output signal of the amplitude detection circuit 02. By adding the amplitude detection circuit 02 and the voltage control circuit 03, the present invention realizes that when the amplitude of the oscillation circuit 01 exceeds the threshold value, the working voltage of the oscillation circuit 01 is automatically reduced, so as to control the oscillation amplitude and make the cross - conductance MOS transistor of the oscillation circuit 01 always work in the saturation region.
