[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention discloses a digital RF transmitter, including a digital logic mixer 20, a digital power amplifier 10 and an antenna 30.

[0034] like Figure 5 FIG. 1 shows a circuit structure of a current-mode differential digital power amplifier according to an embodiment of the present invention. The digital power amplifier includes a transformer, a current mirror, 2 n - 1 identical amplifier unit, each amplifier unit includes a first MOS tube M i1 , the second MOS tube M i2 , the third MOS tube M i3 , the fourth MOS tube M i4 And the fifth MOS tube M i0 , the current mirror consists of a sixth MOS tube M src and the fifth MOS tube M of each amplifier unit i0 (0≤i≤n-1) to set the bias current i bias The mirror image is copied to each amplifier unit. Among them, the 2 iThe gates of the corresponding MOS transistors in each amplifier unit are connected to each other (that is, the 2 gates controlled by the i-th RF data are connected to each other). i The first MOS tube M in the amplifier unit i1 The gates of the second MOS tube M are connected to each other. i2 The gates of the third MOS tube M are connected to each other. i3 The gates of the fourth MOS tube M are connected to each other. i4 The gates of the fifth MOS tube M are connected to each other. i0 The gates of the fifth MOS tube are connected to the gate of the sixth MOS tube, the source and drain of the sixth MOS tube are respectively connected to the ground and the gates and bias current of the fifth and sixth MOS tubes, and the fifth MOS tube M i0 One end of the source and drain is connected to the ground, and the other end is connected to the first MOS tube M i1 And the second MOS tube M i2 ; First MOS tube M i1 The gate connection RF data b i , the first MOS tube M i1 The source and drain of the fifth MOS tube M are respectively connected i0 And the third MOS tube M i3 ; Second MOS tube M i2 Gate connection RF data The second MOS tube M i2 The source and drain of the fifth MOS tube M are respectively connected i0 And the fourth MOS tube M i4 ; The third MOS tube M i3 And the fourth MOS tube M i4 The gate connection voltage V B (In this embodiment, the voltage V B The default value is a fixed value, and the current is adjusted by the current mirror). The third MOS tube M i3 The source and drain of the first MOS tube M are connected i1 and the positive output V OP , the fourth MOS tube M i4 The source and drain of the second MOS tube M are connected i2 and the negative output V ON ; Positive output V OP and the negative output V ON Connect the positive and negative terminals of the transformer's primary terminal respectively. The power supply voltage of the transformer's primary terminal is V CC .
[0035] The digital power amplifier circuit can adjust the bias current i bias To control the current of each amplifier unit, thereby changing the power of the output signal.i1 And the second MOS tube M i2 Used as a switch tube, RF data b i and Connect the gates of the two MOS tubes respectively to control the fifth MOS tube M in the unit i0 The bias current flows to the positive output of the differential power amplifier V OP Or negative output V ON The outputs of all amplifier units are connected together to generate RF data b n-1 ...the analog current signal represented by b0 drives the primary end of the transformer, and the induced voltage and current generated at the secondary end of the transformer drives the antenna to transmit b n-1 …b0 represents the RF signal.
[0036] Since the RF data b i and The frequency is the RF local oscillator clock frequency, which is relatively high (for example, for UWB applications, the frequency can reach up to 9.48 GHz). Therefore, it limits the size of the capacitive load that can be driven by the RF input data. i1 And the second MOS tube M i2 The thin-oxide low-voltage MOS tube is used to achieve the minimum channel length in the process, which also reduces the channel width to achieve a certain driving capability, thereby effectively reducing the size of the MOS tube and the size of the parasitic capacitance. Therefore, the use of low-voltage tubes can reduce the RF data b i and Specifically, the minimum size of a low-voltage MOS transistor is related to the process. For example, the minimum channel length of a 40nm process is about 40nm, and the minimum channel length of a 22nm process is about 25nm. As the channel length decreases, the area of the MOS transistor decreases, and the corresponding parasitic capacitance also decreases. For example, at 22nm, the minimum channel length of a 0.8V low-voltage transistor is about 25nm, while the minimum channel length of a 3.3V medium-voltage transistor is 550nm, which is dozens of times larger in area and parasitic capacitance.
[0037] The output signal voltage amplitude of the power amplifier determines the output power. The application of large output power requires the power supply voltage of the primary end of the transformer to be V CC Therefore, in this embodiment, the third MOS tube M i3 And the fourth MOS tube M i4 Thick oxide 3.3V medium voltage tube is used to isolate the lower low voltage tube from the upper transformer. The thick oxide 3.3V medium voltage tube limits the voltage between the source and drain of the lower low voltage tube to not exceed its withstand voltage value, thereby protecting the working safety of the lower low voltage tube.
[0038] In this embodiment, the first MOS tube M i1 And the second MOS tube M i2 The thin oxygen low-pressure tube used, the third MOS tube M i3 And the fourth MOS tube M i4 Thick-oxygen medium-voltage transistors are used, with the voltage ranges of low-voltage and medium-voltage transistors varying depending on the process. Those skilled in the art will understand that the low-voltage transistor is a commonly used core device (the device used internally in the chip), and the medium-voltage transistor is a commonly used I / O device (the device used when the chip interacts with external interfaces). For example, in the commonly used TSMC 40nm process, there are 0.9V, 3.3V, and 5V MOS transistors. That is, the typical operating voltage values of MOS transistors are 0.9V, 3.3V, and 5V, respectively. The 0.9V MOS transistor is generally referred to as a low-voltage transistor, and the 3.3V MOS transistor is generally referred to as a medium-voltage transistor. The silicon dioxide between the gate and channel of the 0.9V MOS transistor is typically thinner, while the silicon dioxide between the gate and channel of the 3.3V MOS transistor is thicker, hence the distinction between thin-oxygen low-voltage transistors and thick-oxygen medium-voltage transistors. The specific thickness depends on the process parameters.
[0039] like Figure 6 FIG. 1 shows a circuit structure of a current-mode differential digital power amplifier according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the fifth MOS transistor M in the current mirror i0 With the third MOS tube M i3 , the fourth MOS tube M i4 Merge, through the third MOS tube M i3 , the fourth MOS tube M i4 The gate voltage V B Controls the current flowing through the amplifier unit to achieve direct voltage V B Adjust the bias current and further adjust the voltage V B The size of can change the output power of the digital radio frequency transmitter. That is, in this embodiment, the digital power amplifier does not include a current mirror, and the first MOS tube M i1 , the second MOS tube M i2 One end of the source and drain is directly grounded. Based on this, in some other embodiments, the voltage V B Connect to a fixed power supply voltage, and generate branch bias current by the on-resistance of the MOS tube connected to each branch; adjust the power supply voltage V CC , the size of the branch bias current can be changed, thereby controlling the transmitter output power.
[0040] In an embodiment of the present invention, the digital RF transmitter combines a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and a power amplifier (PA) into a digital power amplifier (PA), simplifying the RF transmitter structure. The low-pass filter can be implemented in the digital domain using a digital filtering algorithm. The RF transmitter's digital baseband input data is digitally filtered, saving analog filter costs. The RF mixing circuit is also digitally implemented, mixing the transmit baseband digital input data and the RF clock via digital logic gates. These digital logic gates effectively prevent clock leakage to the PA output. Furthermore, the digital implementation of the module further reduces circuit layout area and power consumption.
