Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of analog-to-digital conversion integrated circuits, and in particular relates to an ultra-low power consumption and high-speed dual positive feedback comparator circuit. Background Art
[0002] With the development of integrated circuits, the functions of on-chip systems can become more and more complex, and the circuit complexity is greatly improved, which brings a serious problem: chip power consumption. Although the chip power consumption can be reduced by reducing the supply voltage or using multiple voltage domains, the heat generated by chip power consumption cannot be ignored due to the increase in chip integration and power density. In addition, due to the increase in power consumption, for battery-powered on-chip systems, the sustainable use time of the system will be reduced, so reducing chip power consumption is crucial for chip design.
[0003] Generally speaking, an analog-to-digital conversion module is integrated on the chip to convert the analog signal in reality into a digital signal for digital calculation. The comparator is an indispensable module in all analog-to-digital converters, which greatly affects the conversion speed and power loss of the analog-to-digital converter. Although the traditional pre-amplification latch structure comparator has a higher speed, it sacrifices the power consumption of the chip and is not suitable for low-power analog-to-digital converters. Although the dynamic comparator has lower power consumption, its kickback noise and offset voltage are large, which is not suitable for high-precision analog-to-digital converters. It can be seen that designing a high-speed voltage comparator with low power consumption is of great significance to reducing chip power consumption and improving chip operation speed.

[0060] The drain of the NMOS tube M7 is connected to VDD; the drain of the PMOS tube M8 is connected to the drain of the NMOS tube M18, to the drain of the PMOS tube M20, and to the source of the NMOS tube M7; the gates of the PMOS tubes M1, M3, M6, M8, M19, and M20 are connected to CLK; the gate of the PMOS tube M2 is connected to the gate of the NMOS tube M4 and to the drains of the PMOS tubes M5 and M6, and the OUT+ signal of the comparison result of the comparator is output from this connection point; the PMOS tube M1 is connected to the gate of the NMOS tube M4 and to the drains of the PMOS tubes M5 and M6, and the PMOS tube M2 is connected to the gate of the PMOS tube M5 and M6, and the PMOS tube M2 ...

[0061] The working process of the ultra-low power high-speed dual positive feedback comparator circuit is divided into three stages, as follows:
[0062] 1) Pre-charge stage:
[0063] When the clock signal CLK is low, M1, M3, M5, and M7 are turned on, making OUT+, OUT-, Vrst+, and Vrst- high, and the comparator is in a reset state. Since M10, M14, and M19 are turned off when CLK is low, there is no direct current from the power supply to the ground in the pre-charging stage.
[0064] 2) The first positive feedback stage:
[0065] When the clock signal CLK is at a high level, M10 and M14 are turned on. Since Vrst+ and Vrst- are at high levels, M12 and M16 are turned on. When Vin+ is larger than Vin-, the current flowing through M11 is larger than that flowing through M15, so that the potential at point a drops faster than that at point b. The drop in the potential at point a reduces the on-current of M16, causing M13 to tend to be turned on, so that the potential at point b drops more slowly and has an upward trend. The higher potential at point b will make the on-current of M12 larger, causing the potential at point a to drop further. The drop in the potential at point a will cause M13 to turn on faster, causing the potential at point b to rise. This forms positive feedback, which will eventually cause the potential at point a to approach 0 and the potential at point b to approach VDD. After the comparison is completed, M13 is turned on, M16 is turned off, and M9 is turned off, while M12 is turned on. There is no through current from the power supply to the ground.
[0066] On the contrary, when Vin- is larger than Vin+, the current flowing through M15 is larger than that flowing through M11, so that the potential at point b drops faster than that at point a. The drop in the potential at point b reduces the on-current of M12, causing M9 to turn on, so that the potential at point a drops more slowly and has an upward trend. The higher potential at point a will cause the on-current of M16 to be larger, causing the potential at point b to drop further. The drop in the potential at point b will cause M9 to turn on faster, causing the potential at point a to rise. This forms a positive feedback, which will eventually cause the potential at point b to approach 0 and the potential at point a to approach VDD. After the comparison is completed, M9 is turned on, M12 is turned off, and M13 is turned off, and M16 is turned on. There is no through current from the power supply to the ground.
[0067] 3) The second latch positive feedback stage:
[0068] The clock signal CLK is at a high level, and M19 is turned on. Since the potential at point a is lower than that at point b, the on-current of M17 is larger than that of M18, so that OUT- drops faster than OUT+. The drop of OUT- will reduce the on-current of M7, causing M5 to turn on, so that OUT+ drops more slowly and has an upward trend. The upward trend of OUT+ will further increase the on-current of M4, and the potential of OUT- will be further reduced. The reduction of the potential of OUT- will further cause M5 to turn on and M7 to cut off, thereby further increasing OUT+. In this way, positive feedback is formed, and finally OUT- will tend to 0 and OUT+ will tend to VDD, so that M7 and M2 will be turned off. After the comparison is completed, there is no direct current from the power supply to the ground.
[0069] On the contrary, since the potential at point b is lower than that at point a, the on-current of M18 is larger than that of M17, so that OUT+ decreases faster than OUT-. The decrease of OUT+ will reduce the on-current of M4, causing M2 to turn on, thus making OUT- decrease slower and have an upward trend. The upward trend of OUT- will further increase the on-current of M7, and further reduce the potential of OUT+. The reduction of the potential of OUT+ further causes M2 to turn on and M4 to turn off, thus further increasing OUT-. In this way, positive feedback is formed, and finally OUT+ will tend to 0 and OUT- will tend to VDD, thus turning off M4 and M5. After the comparison is completed, there is no direct current from the power supply to the ground.
[0070] Through the double positive feedback comparison circuit, the slightly different signals can be made very different in the positive feedback process, so that accurate and fast comparison can be achieved. At the same time, since there is no direct current from the power supply to the ground when the circuit is not working or has completed work, there is no static power consumption, which can reduce the power loss of the comparator.
[0071] like Figure 2The self-reset clock circuit shown includes: a two-input single-output OR gate, a PMOS tube M21, an NMOS tube M22, a PMOS tube M23, a PMOS tube M24 and a delay circuit; the source of the PMOS tube M21 is connected to VDD, the drain of the PMOS tube M21 is connected to the drain of the NMOS tube M22, the source of the PMOS tube M23 and the source of the PMOS tube M24; the source of the NMOS tube M22 and the drains of the PMOS tube M23 and the PMOS tube M24 are grounded; The drain of the S tube M22 and the source outputs of the PMOS tube M23 and the PMOS tube M24 are connected to the clock input CLK, and are connected to an input of an OR gate through a delay circuit; the gate of the NMOS tube M22 is connected to an Enable signal, the gate of the PMOS tube M23 is connected to the OUT+ signal, and the gate of the PMOS tube M24 is connected to the OUT- signal; the OR gate with two inputs and one output, one input of which is connected to the delayed output, the other input is connected to the Enable signal, and the output is connected to the gate of the PMOS tube M21.
[0072] Self-reset clock control, its working process is as follows:
[0073] When the sampling signal SAMP is high, M22 is turned on, so that the clock signal CLK is pulled to a low level, and the comparator is in the pre-charge stage. When the sampling signal SAMP is low, after a short delay, the OR gate outputs a low level, so that M21 is turned on, and the clock signal is pulled up to VDD. At this time, the comparator starts to work. After the comparison is completed, one of OUT+ and OUT- must be output at a low level, which will turn on M23 or M24, and the clock signal CLK is pulled to a low level, and the comparator automatically enters the pre-charge stage.
[0074] It should be noted that before M23 or M24 is turned on, M21 must be turned off in advance, otherwise a direct connection from the power supply to the ground will be formed. Therefore, a delay is added to this circuit to make the output of the OR gate high before the clock signal CLK becomes low, thereby turning off M21.
[0075] By using the self-resetting clock control method, there is no need for an external clock to provide a control signal. The comparator can automatically reset after outputting a valid result and enter the next comparison waiting period, thereby increasing the stability of the high-speed comparator.
