Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuits, and in particular to a signal conversion circuit. Background Art
[0002] With the development of modern communication technology, the requirements for the accuracy of signal transmission between systems in integrated circuit systems are becoming increasingly higher. For example, in mixed analog and digital circuits or power management circuits, accurate reference voltages can provide an accurate reference to the ground for the entire system. The system's overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection, overheating protection, error amplifier, comparator, and precise current all require an accurate reference point. However, when the reference voltage signal is relatively small, due to interference from system errors, detection accuracy, and layout and wiring parasitic parameters, it is easy to cause a large deviation between the data received by the system and the signal source data, thereby affecting the accuracy of signal transmission, resulting in a decline in system performance, or even system malfunction.
[0003] A signal conversion circuit in the prior art converts a reference voltage into a current output. By converting the reference voltage and transmitting the converted current between modules, the ability to suppress parasitic interference is enhanced. If the current is restored to the reference voltage in the local module, the accurate transmission of the reference voltage will eventually be achieved. Figure 1 shown. Figure 1 It is a signal conversion circuit in the prior art, which includes: a reference power supply for providing a reference voltage VREF, an error amplifier EA, a capacitor Cc, a current mirror structure composed of a transistor M1, a transistor M2, a transistor M3, a transistor M4, a transistor M5 and a transistor M6, a transistor M7, and a resistor R1 and a resistor R2. The reference power supply is used to provide the reference voltage VREF to the in-phase input terminal of the error amplifier EA. The output terminal of the error amplifier EA is connected to the control terminal of the transistor M7, and the source terminal of the transistor M7 is fed back to the inverting input terminal of the error amplifier EA. By adjusting the width-to-depth ratio of each transistor in the current mirror structure, the accuracy of the current I1 copied by the current mirror structure is adjusted, that is, the size of the mirror current I2 and the mirror current I3 and the output voltage Vo is controlled. However, when the VREF voltage is small, the vos of the amplifier EA itself will cause a large deviation in its output, reducing the system accuracy.
[0004] Figure 2 It is the prior art Figure 1 A signal conversion circuit improved on the basis of. The signal conversion circuit basically adopts Figure 1The structure of the signal conversion circuit shown in the figure is different in that a resistor R3 is added, which is connected between the drain terminal of the transistor M4 and the drain terminal of the transistor M7. Although the added resistor R3 reduces the minimum operating voltage VIN of the circuit to about 2.45 volts, it increases the area of the integrated circuit chip. At the same time, the resistor R3 is easily affected by process changes. The bias voltage formed by R3 on M4, M5, and M6 will change with the process and temperature, which is very likely to make M4, M5, and M6 enter the linear region, greatly weakening the role of the current mirror of the CASCDOE structure in accurately copying the current. Similarly, when the VREF voltage is small, the vos of the amplifier EA itself will cause a large deviation in its output, reducing the system accuracy. Summary of the invention

[0059] Figure 6 Show Figure 5 The timing diagram of the pulse signal S0 connected to the switch module is shown.
[0060] refer to Figure 5 The signal conversion circuit 200 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure uses the amplification module 210 to amplify the input voltage S11 by m times through the first amplifier 211 (assuming that the amplification gain coefficient of the first amplifier 211 is, for example, m, and m≥1), where m=(R2+R3) / R2, and the obtained intermediate voltage is:
[0061] S12=S11*m (1)
[0062] Then, the voltage-to-current conversion module 240 is used to obtain a conversion current I11 corresponding to the voltage S12, for example, its value is:
[0063] I11=S12 / R0 (2)
[0064] Wherein, R0 is the equivalent impedance in the pressure-to-flow conversion module 240 .
[0065] In the voltage-current conversion module 240, the feedback loop formed by the second amplifier 241 and the third transistor T3 is used to control the feedback voltage Vn to follow the change of the intermediate voltage S12. Figure 5 The circuit connection relationship is shown in Figure 2.
[0066] I11=Vn / R1=S12 / R1 (3)
[0067] Wherein, R1 represents the resistance value of the first resistor R1.
[0068] According to the first current mirror structure, S14 / I11=K, K is a constant, preferably, K is 1, that is,
[0069] S14=I11 (4)
[0070] Through the first current mirror, a mirror current S14 of the conversion current I11 corresponding to the voltage S12 is obtained and used by subsequent modules.

[0072] In the output module 230 of the present embodiment, the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5 are in a mirror current relationship. If there is no switch module SW, the mirror current S14 is equal to the mirror current S13 in value. By connecting a switch module SW in series on the path of the mirror current S14 and the mirror current S13, and the duty cycle 1 / m of the pulse signal S0 and the gain coefficient m of the aforementioned input voltage S11 amplification are reciprocal to each other, the output module 230 is controlled to be in an intermittently conducting circuit state, and the wave of the obtained mirror current S13 is formed into a pulse shape, and its average value is:
[0073] AVE_S13=S14 / m (5)
[0074] Combining the above formulas (1) to (4), we can get the following after simplification:
[0075] AVE_S13=S11 / R0 (6)
[0076] That is, the average value of the mirror current S13 output by the signal conversion circuit 100 is the current corresponding to the aforementioned input voltage S11, thereby achieving the purpose of high-precision conversion and stable output.
[0077] In addition, the signal conversion circuit in the above description takes voltage conversion into current as an example, and the output current is a digital pulse signal, which can be directly applied to subsequent circuit scenarios such as in digital-analog hybrid circuits or in power management circuits.
[0078] The signal conversion circuit 200 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure first utilizes the first amplifier 211 in the amplification module 210 to proportionally amplify the input voltage S11; then utilizes the input end of the voltage-to-current conversion module 240 to connect with the output end of the amplification module 210 to perform voltage-to-current conversion on the intermediate voltage S12 to obtain the conversion current I11; then utilizes the output module 230 connected to the voltage-to-current conversion module 240 to access a pulse signal S0 with a certain duty cycle, controls the output module 230 to be in an intermittently conductive circuit state, and samples the output current S13. Specifically, in one embodiment, the duty cycle 1 / m of the pulse signal S0 and the gain coefficient m of the aforementioned input voltage S11 amplification are reciprocals of each other, so that the average value AVE_S13 of the mirror current S13 of the aforementioned conversion current I11 outputted is the current corresponding to the input voltage S11.
[0079] In summary, the signal conversion circuit provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure designs the duty cycle of the pulse signal S0 and the gain coefficient of the amplification of the input voltage S11 so that the mean value of the duty cycle-controlled sampling output signal S13 is proportional to the conversion signal corresponding to the input voltage S11, so as to achieve high-precision conversion, improve the output accuracy and reliability of the circuit, and at the same time ensure the accuracy and stability of signal transmission in actual circuit applications, such as in voltage converters.
