Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of integrated circuit technology, in particular to a time-interleaved charge pump internal power supply circuit. BACKGROUND
[0002] In order to achieve rail-to-rail input stage of the operational amplifier, in addition to the structure of parallel connection of PMOS and NMOS and low threshold tube, a power supply higher than the power supply voltage can be used as a separate power supply to achieve the rail-to-rail input stage of the operational amplifier, and the power supply circuit can be realized by using a bootstrap circuit or a charge pump.
[0003] The bootstrap circuit, also known as a voltage boosting circuit, uses bootstrap diodes, bootstrap capacitors and other electronic components to superimpose the discharge voltage of the capacitor and the power supply voltage, thereby increasing the voltage. Some circuits can increase the voltage by several times the power supply voltage. The bootstrap circuit is only a name defined in practice and has no concept in theory. The bootstrap circuit is commonly used in complementary symmetric circuits of type A and type B single power supply. The charge pump is a DC-DC converter that uses capacitors as energy storage elements to generate an output voltage higher than the input voltage or a negative output voltage. The charge pump circuit has high electrical efficiency, about 90-95%, and the circuit is relatively simple. In the past decade, the charge pump has been widely used, and its function has changed from a built-in adjustment single-output IC to a built-in adjustment multi-output IC. The output power and efficiency have also been developed, so that the current charge pump can output a current of up to 250mA with an efficiency of 75%. Charge pumps are mostly used in battery-powered systems such as cellular phones, pagers, Bluetooth systems and portable electronic devices.
[0004] However, there are few related technical solutions at present, and the principles of the few existing technical solutions are relatively complex and have high cost and power consumption, which is not conducive to the large-scale popularization and application of the input stage of the operational amplifier.

[0033] a voltage follower module connected to the time-interleaved charge pump module, and configured to keep the internal power supply V3 stable and continuous during the alternate switching of the time-interleaved structure.
[0034] In detail, as shown in Figures 1 to 2 , the first control signal generation module is connected to a clock signal CLK, and generates and outputs seven non-overlapping first control signals D1-D7 according to the clock signal CLK.

The input ends of the seven logic gates are connected to the clock signal CLK respectively. The output ends of the seven logic gates output one first control signal (square wave) respectively. The time delays of the seven logic gates are different, so that seven non-overlapping first control signals D1-D7 (D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6 and D7) are obtained.
[0036] In detail, as shown in Figure 1 , Figures 3-4 , the second control signal generating module comprises a digital power supply generating unit and four switch level bootstrap units. The digital power supply generating unit is connected to the band gap reference voltage V1. The digital power supply generating unit generates an output digital power supply voltage V2. The switch level bootstrap units are connected to the digital power supply voltage V2 and the power supply voltage VDD. Each of the switch level bootstrap units generates one second control signal. The four switch level bootstrap units generate four non-overlapping second control signals C1-C4 (C1, C2, C3 and C4).
[0037] In more detail, as shown in Figure 3 , the digital power supply generating unit comprises an operational amplifier A1, a first resistor R1 and a second resistor R2. The non-inverting input end of the operational amplifier A1 is connected to the band gap reference voltage V1. The inverting input end of the operational amplifier A1 is connected to the ground through the first resistor R1 in series. The inverting input end of the operational amplifier A1 is also connected to the output end of the operational amplifier A1 through the second resistor R2 in series.

The drain of the first NMOS transistor N1 is connected to the power supply voltage VDD. The source of the first NMOS transistor N1 is connected to one end of the first capacitor C1.

[0040] In more detail, as shown in Figure 4 , the working principle of the single switch level bootstrap unit is as follows:
[0041] When the input end of the digital switch is at a high level, the gate of the first NMOS tube N1 is at a low level, and the source is at a high level, the first NMOS tube N1 is cut off, the gate of the second NMOS tube N2 is at a high level, and the source is at a low level, the second NMOS tube N2 is turned on, and the second capacitor C2 is charged to VDD; when the input end of the digital switch is at a low level, the gate of the first NMOS tube N1 is at a high level, and the source is at a low level, the first NMOS tube N1 is turned on, the gate of the second NMOS tube N2 is at a low level, and the source is at a high level, the second NMOS tube N2 is cut off, and the first capacitor C1 is charged to VDD; at this time, the second capacitor C2 is charged to VDD in the last clock cycle, and the voltage on the second capacitor C2 cannot change abruptly, so when the low end voltage is at a high level (i.e. the digital power supply voltage V2), the high end voltage becomes VDD+V2; therefore, the high end voltage of the second capacitor C2 is VDD or VDD+V2, that is, the second control signal Cj output by the switch level bootstrap unit is a square wave signal of VDD~VDD+V2.

[0044] In more detail, as shown in Figure 5 , the working principle of the time-interleaved charge pump module is as follows:
[0045] 1) On the premise that the first PMOS transistor P1, the second PMOS transistor P2, the third PMOS transistor P3 and the sixth PMOS transistor P6 are turned on, first turn on the third NMOS transistor N3 and the fifth NMOS transistor N5, and turn off the fourth PMOS transistor P4 and the seventh PMOS transistor P7, so that the third capacitor C3 is charged to VDD; then turn off the third NMOS transistor N3 and the fifth NMOS transistor N5, and turn on the fourth PMOS transistor P4 and the seventh PMOS transistor P7, so that the lower plate potential of the third capacitor C3 becomes V0, the amplitude of the power supply voltage VDD is boosted at the upper plate of the third capacitor C3, and the internal power supply V3 = V0 + VDD is obtained, and the internal power supply V3 is externally output under the control of the fourth PMOS transistor P4;
[0046] 2) Similarly, on the premise that the first PMOS transistor P1, the second PMOS transistor P2, the third PMOS transistor P3 and the sixth PMOS transistor P6 are turned on, first turn on the fourth NMOS transistor N4 and the sixth NMOS transistor N6, and turn off the fifth PMOS transistor P5 and the eighth PMOS transistor P8, so that the fourth capacitor C4 is charged to VDD; then turn off the fourth NMOS transistor N4 and the sixth NMOS transistor N6, and turn on the fifth PMOS transistor P5 and the eighth PMOS transistor P8, so that the lower plate potential of the fourth capacitor C4 becomes V0, the amplitude of the power supply voltage VDD is boosted at the upper plate of the fourth capacitor C4, and the internal power supply V3 = V0 + VDD is obtained, and the internal power supply V3 is externally output under the control of the fifth PMOS transistor P5;
