[0078] refer to Figure 1 Under the same conditions, NMOS transistors have higher mobility than PMOS transistors. Therefore, the first stage of the fully differential folded cascode two-stage op amp of the present invention uses NMOS transistors as differential pair inputs to increase the speed of the op amp. The folded cascode structure of the first stage op amp not only improves gain but also enhances the noise suppression capability of the power supply. The second stage op amp is used to achieve a larger output swing. Since the fully differential op amp cannot determine the output voltage value, the present invention also designs a common-mode feedback circuit to stabilize the output voltage. Assuming the output resistance of the MOS transistor is r o , the transconductance is g m , the DC gain of the two-stage operational amplifier proposed in the present invention is:
[0079] Av=g m1 ·(g m3 r o3 r o5 ) / / [g m8 r o8 (r o1 / / r o10 / / r o12 )]·g m16 (r o16 / / r o17 )
[0080] refer to Figure 3 A detailed analysis of the closed-loop characteristics of the two-stage op amp in the switched capacitor integrator is given below:
[0081] G m1 and G m2 are the transconductance of the first and second stages of the op amp, β is the loop feedback coefficient, and C C is the Miller compensation capacitor, C eq is the equivalent load capacitance. The main pole of the two-stage op amp is located at the output node of the first stage. The equivalent output capacitance here is:
[0082] C=G m2 ·(r o2 / / ro15 )·C c ,
[0083] The equivalent output resistance is:
[0084] R=1 / G m =1 / β·G m1 ·G m2 ·(r o2 / / ro15 ),
[0085] Then the main pole frequency, that is, the bandwidth of the op amp, is:
[0086] BW=1 / RC=β·G m1 / C c .
[0087] In the traditional design process of the switched capacitor integrator, in order to improve the bandwidth, it is generally chosen to make the first-stage input transconductance G of the op amp as large as possible. m1 Designed to be as large as possible, and g m ∝I, so a larger current will be allocated during the op amp design process, which will increase the overall power consumption.
[0088] The present invention reduces the design difficulty of the operational amplifier and m1 Under the premise of reference Figure 4 , dynamically adjust the Miller compensation capacitance as the switching capacitor phase changes to cope with the change of the feedback coefficient β, and reduce the Miller capacitance value in the phase where β decreases to maintain the stability of the closed-loop bandwidth and avoid increasing g m1 In order to cope with the reduction of closed-loop bandwidth caused by the reduction of β, the present invention uses the Miller compensation capacitor C C Divided into the first capacitor C C1 and the second capacitor C C2 Two parts, the first capacitor C C1 It is controlled by a control switch with a timing of Φ1, such as Figure 5 As shown. In the Φ1 phase, the integrator is in the hold state and the feedback coefficient β Φ1 Close to 1, at this time, closing the switch can provide sufficient compensation for unity gain stability; in the Φ2 phase, the integrator is in the integrating state, and the feedback coefficient is:
[0089] β Φ2 ≈Ci / (C S +C ref +C i ),
[0090] At this time, the switch is disconnected, the Miller compensation capacitance is reduced, and the Miller capacitance is reduced, which increases the unity gain bandwidth product of the op amp and reduces the reduction in the op amp closed loop bandwidth caused by the reduction in the feedback coefficient. The op amp closed loop frequency response at this time is as follows: Figure 6As shown, due to the reduction in Miller compensation capacitance, the pole separation effect caused by the compensation capacitance is weakened, the main pole of the op amp shifts to the right, the gain-bandwidth product increases, the closed-loop bandwidth remains almost unchanged, and the phase margin of the op amp is approximately equal in the two phases. Compared with the traditional structure where the closed-loop bandwidth and phase margin of the two phases change significantly, the present invention achieves the same closed-loop bandwidth and phase margin for the Φ1 phase and the Φ2 phase. Therefore, there is no need to over-design the bandwidth of the Φ1 phase op amp or over-design the phase margin of the Φ2 phase to simultaneously meet the stability and speed of the two phases. The power consumption of the op amp and modulator is reduced while ensuring the stability of the op amp loop in the integrator. It is suitable for ΣΔ modulation systems with large feedback coefficients.
