[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which various embodiments of the present application belong. The terms (such as terms defined in a generally used dictionary) will be interpreted as having the same meaning as the contextual meaning in the relevant technical field and will not be interpreted as having an idealized or overly formal meaning, unless clearly defined in various embodiments of the present application.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A first structure schematic diagram of a differential operational amplifier circuit provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. Exemplarily, the differential operational amplifier circuit 100 of the present application includes a differential amplifier OP and a common-mode feedback circuit 110, the common-mode feedback circuit 110 including a biasing sub-circuit 111, a first resistor R1 and a second resistor R2;

[0034] One end of the common-mode feedback circuit 110 is connected with a power input terminal VDD, and the other end of the common-mode feedback circuit 110 is connected with a power output terminal VSS;

[0035] The biasing sub-circuit 111 comprises a first biasing tube M1 and a second biasing tube M2, the input end of the differential amplifier is connected with a differential signal input end, the first output end OUTN of the differential amplifier is connected with the first biasing tube M1, and the first output end OUTN of the differential amplifier is connected with the first biasing tube M1 through the first resistor R1, the second output end OUTP of the differential amplifier is connected with the second biasing tube M2, and the second output end OUTP of the differential amplifier is connected with the second biasing tube M2 through the second resistor R2, the gate of the first biasing tube M1 is connected with the gate of the second biasing tube M2;

[0036] The differential amplifier OP is used for outputting a differential signal to the biasing sub-circuit 111, the biasing sub-circuit 111 is used for setting an output level, the first resistor R1 is used for feeding back a positive signal output by the differential amplifier OP to the biasing sub-circuit 111, and the second resistor R2 is used for feeding back a negative signal output by the differential amplifier OP to the biasing sub-circuit 111.

[0037] The differential amplifier OP is used for amplifying the difference between two input voltages with a fixed gain to obtain a stronger output signal than the input signal. At the same time, the differential amplifier OP requires as wide a common-mode input voltage range as possible, and the signal at the output end of the differential amplifier OP is fed back to the biasing sub-circuit 111 through a resistor, and common-mode feedback is realized by detecting the resistor, without the need to configure an additional control chip, thereby simplifying the circuit structure. At the same time, the common-mode feedback circuit 110 can quickly respond, so that the differential amplifier circuit 100 of the present application can be applied to various high-speed signal amplification scenarios.

[0038] It should be understood that the first biasing tube M1 and the second biasing tube M2 can be any field effect transistor, which is not limited herein. For the purpose of understanding the present application, in the present embodiment, the first biasing tube M1 and the second biasing tube M2 are MOS (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect) tubes. The signal at the output end of the differential amplifier OP is fed back to the gate end of the first biasing tube M1 and the second biasing tube M2 through a resistor, and when the input voltage changes, the voltage at the gate of the first biasing tube M1 and the second biasing tube M2 can be adjusted in time. The current of the first biasing tube M1 and the second biasing tube M2 changes with the output, and a stable output common-mode level is obtained.

[0039] The first output terminal OUTN of the differential amplifier is fed back to the gate of the first biasing tube M1 through the first resistor R1, and the second output terminal OUTP of the differential amplifier is fed back to the gate of the second biasing tube M2 through the second resistor R2, and the current of the first biasing tube M1 and the second biasing tube M2 varies with the output. The common-mode level output to the power output terminal VSS can be determined as:

[0040] V out = (V outp + V outn ) * 0.5

[0041] It should be understood that V out is the common-mode level output to the power output terminal VSS, V outn is the voltage value of the first resistor R1, and V outp is the voltage value of the second resistor R2. When the voltage of the first output terminal OUTN of the differential amplifier is greater than the voltage of the second output terminal OUTP of the differential amplifier, the voltage value of the second resistor R2 is greater than the voltage value of the first resistor R1, and at this time the output stable common-mode level is output. When the voltage of the first output terminal OUTN of the differential amplifier gradually decreases to equal the voltage of the second output terminal OUTP of the differential amplifier, the current of the first biasing tube M1 is increased and the current of the second biasing tube M2 is decreased, thereby ensuring the output stable common-mode level. Similarly, when the voltage of the first output terminal OUTN of the differential amplifier gradually decreases to be less than the voltage of the second output terminal OUTP of the differential amplifier, the current of the first biasing tube M1 is increased and the current of the second biasing tube M2 is decreased, thereby ensuring the output stable common-mode level.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 Fig. 2 shows a second structural schematic diagram of the differential operational amplifier circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application. In an optional example, the differential operational amplifier circuit 100 further comprises an enabling switch tube MEN, one end of the enabling switch tube MEN is connected with the power input terminal of the differential amplifier OP, and the other end of the enabling switch tube MEN is connected with one end of the common-mode feedback circuit 110.

[0043] The enabling switch tube MEN is used for receiving an external enabling signal to control the on-off of the common-mode feedback circuit 110.

[0044] When the differential operational amplifier circuit 100 does not need to operate, the enabling switch tube MEN receives an external enabling signal to turn off the common-mode feedback circuit 110 in real time, thereby reducing the power consumption of the differential operational amplifier circuit 100. After the power input terminal VDD passes through the enabling switch tube, the voltage changes, thereby forming a power input terminal VDD-VDS passing through the enabling switch tube.

[0045] In an alternative example, the differential amplifier OP includes an NMOS differential input tube NOP, a first output end OUTN2 of the NMOS differential input tube is connected with the drain of the first bias tube M1, and the first output end OUTN2 of the NMOS differential input tube is also connected with the gate of the first bias tube M1 through the first resistor R1, a second output end OUTP2 of the NMOS differential input tube is connected with the drain of the second bias tube M2, and the second output end OUTP2 of the NMOS differential input tube is also connected with the gate of the second bias tube M2 through the second resistor R2.

[0046] In an actual application scenario, different input swing ranges are required. When the difference between the positive signal input end of the differential signal input end 200 and the negative signal input end of the differential signal input end 200 is greater than 0.5 times the voltage value of the voltage input end, it is determined that the input voltage is in a high voltage range, and the differential input pair composed of the NMOS differential input tube NOP functions as an operational amplifier.

[0047] In an alternative example, the common-mode feedback circuit 110 further includes a first switch tube M3 and a second switch tube M4, the first output end OUTN2 of the NMOS differential input tube is connected with the first resistor R1 through the first switch tube M3, the second output end OUTP2 of the NMOS differential input tube is connected with the second resistor R2 through the second switch tube M4, and the gate of the first switch tube M3 is connected with the gate of the second switch tube M4.

[0048] The static operating point is also called the bias point. When the AC input signal of the transistor is zero, the circuit is in a DC operating state, and the point determined by the current and voltage values through the characteristic curve is the static operating point. The static operating point is added to the first switch tube M3 to obtain a bias current, thereby avoiding the direct connection of the first resistor R1 to the first output end OUTN2 of the NMOS differential input tube. The static operating point is added to the second switch tube M4 to obtain a bias current, thereby avoiding the direct connection of the second resistor R2 to the second output end OUTP2 of the NMOS differential input tube.

[0049] It should be understood that in the present embodiment, the first switch tube M3 and the second switch tube M4 are both NMOS tubes, and the gate of the first switch tube M3 is connected with the gate of the second switch tube M4 to set the static operating point.

[0050] In an optional example, the differential amplifier OP includes a PMOS differential input tube POP, a first output end OUTN1 of the PMOS differential input tube is connected with the drain of the first bias tube M1, and the first output end OUTN1 of the PMOS differential input tube is also connected with the gate of the first bias tube M1 through the first resistor R1, a second output end OUTP1 of the PMOS differential input tube is connected with the drain of the second bias tube M2, and the second output end OUTP1 of the PMOS differential input tube is also connected with the gate of the second bias tube M2 through the second resistor R2.

[0051] When the difference between the input signal of the non-inverting signal input end of the differential signal input end 200 and the input signal of the negative signal input end of the differential signal input end 200 is less than or equal to 0.5 times of the voltage value of the voltage input end, it is determined that the input voltage is in the low voltage interval, and the differential input pair composed of the PMOS differential input tube POP functions as an operational amplifier.

[0052] In addition, when the input voltage has both high voltage and low voltage, the differential input composed of the PMOS differential input tube POP and the NMOS differential input tube NOP simultaneously functions as an operational amplifier, and when a full-swing input signal is input, the differential operational amplifier circuit 100 of the present application can work normally, thereby increasing the application scenarios.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 A third structure diagram of the differential operational amplifier circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0054] In an optional example, the common-mode feedback circuit 110 further includes a third switch tube M5 and a fourth switch tube M6, the first output end OUTN1 of the PMOS differential input tube is connected with the first resistor R1 through the third switch tube M5, and the second output end OUTP1 of the PMOS differential input tube is connected with the second resistor R2 through the fourth switch tube M6.

[0055] In the embodiment, the gates of the third switch tube M5 and the fourth switch tube M6 are connected with the first resistor R1, a bias current is formed, and then a suitable static working point is provided for the common-mode feedback circuit 110.

[0056] In an optional example, the common-mode feedback circuit 110 further includes a fifth switch tube M7 and a sixth switch tube M8, the first output end OUTN1 of the PMOS differential input tube is connected with the power input end VDD through the fifth switch tube M7, and the second output end OUTP1 of the PMOS differential input tube is connected with the power input end VDD through the sixth switch tube M8.

[0057] In the embodiment, the gates of the fifth switch tube M7 and the sixth switch tube M8 are connected with the power input terminal VDD, a bias current is formed, and then a suitable static working point is provided for the common mode feedback circuit 110. The switch tube provides an accurate static working point for the common mode feedback circuit 110, which not only makes the differential output of the differential operational amplifier circuit 100 accurate, but also does not need to set a circuit responsible for compensation through a control chip or other integrated circuits to respond quickly, so that the differential operational amplifier circuit 100 is simple in structure.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 A fourth structural schematic diagram of the differential operational amplifier circuit provided by the embodiment of the application is shown. In order to facilitate the understanding of the application, in the embodiment, the gate of the first bias tube M1 is connected with the gate of the second bias tube M2, the gate of the first switch tube M3 is connected with the gate of the second switch tube M4, the gate of the third switch tube M5 is connected with the gate of the fourth switch tube M6, the gate of the fifth switch tube M7 is connected with the gate of the sixth switch tube M8, a bias current path is formed, and a static working point required by the differential operational amplifier circuit is provided.

[0059] The gate of the first switch tube M3 is connected with the gate of the first bias tube M1 through the first protection resistor R3, so as to avoid that the first switch tube M3 is directly connected with the first bias tube M1; the gate of the second switch tube M4 is connected with the gate of the second bias tube M2 through the second protection resistor R4, so as to avoid that the second switch tube M4 is directly connected with the second bias tube M2 and affect the formation of the current bias point.

[0060] In an optional example, the common mode feedback circuit 110 further includes a filter capacitor C, and the gate of the first bias tube M1 is configured to be connected with the power output terminal VSS through the filter capacitor C.

[0061] The filter capacitor C is configured to reduce the alternating current ripple coefficient, so as to obtain a smooth direct current output. Meanwhile, the filter capacitor C is configured to filter noise, so as to make the differential operational amplifier circuit 100 output a signal of a specific frequency.

[0062] In an optional example, the input terminal of the differential amplifier OP includes a first input terminal and a second input terminal, the first input terminal INP of the differential amplifier is configured to be connected with the positive-phase signal input terminal of the differential signal input terminal 200, the second input terminal INN of the differential amplifier is configured to be connected with the negative-phase signal input terminal of the differential signal input terminal 200, the first output terminal OUTN of the differential amplifier is connected with the drain of the first bias tube M1, the gate of the first bias tube M1 is connected with the first resistor R1, and the second output terminal OUTP of the differential amplifier is connected with the drain of the second bias tube M2, and the gate of the second bias tube M2 is connected with the second resistor R2.

[0063] The differential transmission is a signal transmission technique. Specifically, in the embodiment, the signal amplitudes of the first input end INP of the differential amplifier and the second input end INN of the differential amplifier are the same, and the phases are opposite. The signal difference between the first output end OUTN of the differential amplifier and the second output end OUTP of the differential amplifier is taken as an output signal, which can effectively reduce errors.

[0064] The application provides a differential operational amplifier circuit, which comprises a differential amplifier and a common-mode feedback circuit, the common-mode feedback circuit comprising a biasing sub-circuit, a first resistor and a second resistor; one end of the common-mode feedback circuit is connected with a power input end, and the other end of the common-mode feedback circuit is connected with a power output end; the biasing sub-circuit comprises a first biasing tube and a second biasing tube; an input end of the differential amplifier is connected with a differential signal input end; a first output end of the differential amplifier is connected with the first biasing tube, and the first output end of the differential amplifier is connected with the first biasing tube through the first resistor; a second output end of the differential amplifier is connected with the second biasing tube, and the second output end of the differential amplifier is connected with the second biasing tube through the second resistor.

Meanwhile, the differential operational amplifier circuit can quickly respond and can be applied as an independent module, and is suitable for various high-speed signal amplification scenes.
