Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of integrated circuits, and in particular relates to a low mismatch complementary charge pump used in a charge pump phase-locked loop. Background Art
[0002] In the phase-locked loop, the function of the charge pump is to linearly convert the voltage pulse signals UP and DN output by the PFD, whose pulse width is proportional to the phase error, into charge and discharge current pulses Iup and Idn. The basic principle diagram of a typical charge pump is shown in the figure below. Figure 1 However, due to non-ideal factors such as charge-discharge current mismatch, leakage current, clock feedthrough, charge injection, and charge sharing caused by switching, the actual charge pump circuit cannot fully achieve the performance of the ideal charge pump. The charge pump dynamic current mismatch curve is shown in Figure 2 In order to ensure the linearity of the phase-locked loop transmission characteristics, the transmission characteristics of the PFD and charge pump combination are usually required to be as linear as possible. Specifically for the charge pump, its charge and discharge currents Iup and Idn are required to be as equal as possible in static state, and the speed of establishment and shutdown should be as consistent as possible in dynamic state.
[0003] In order to reduce or eliminate the current mismatch of the charge pump, many technologies have been invented. Increasing the channel length of the current source tube can reduce the current mismatch caused by the channel length modulation effect, but this comes at the expense of area. Figure 3 This is a charge pump structure diagram of a common-source common-gate current mirror structure, but it eliminates current mismatch at the expense of reducing the output dynamic range. The wide operating range of the PLL requires a wide dynamic range of the charge pump.
[0004] Figure 4 The figure shows a charge pump structure using an error amplifier and its output current matching curve. The structure uses a unity gain op amp clamp to keep the input voltage consistent with the bias drain reference voltage, thereby significantly improving the dynamic current matching performance of the charge pump. In fact, the structure mainly adjusts one current to match another current, rather than flattening the current response over the entire range.
[0005] Figure 5The figure shows a dynamic negative feedback charge pump structure proposed by TH Lin et al. ([1] TH Lin et al., "Dynamic Current-Matching Charge Pump and Gated-Offset Linearization Technique for Delta-Sigma Fractional-N PLLs," IEEE Trans.Circuits Syst.I, vol.56, no.25, pp.877–885, May 2009). This structure compensates for the influence of the channel length modulation effect by changing the resistance of the introduced parallel field effect transistor. However, its dynamic adjustment range is limited, and the current mismatch between Iup and Idn still exists. Its output current matching curve is shown in Figure 6 shown. Summary of the invention

[0014] The dynamic current compensation circuit includes: a PMOS tube M5, a PMOS tube M13, an NMOS tube M19, and an NMOS tube M26; wherein the gate of the PMOS tube M5 and the gate of the NMOS tube M19 are connected to the OUTP node, the source of the PMOS tube M5 is connected to the source of the PMOS tube M4 and the external power supply VDD, the drain of the PMOS tube M5 is connected to the source of the PMOS tube M2 and the drain of the PMOS tube M4; the source of the NMOS tube M19 is connected to the source of the NMOS tube M18 and the external ground line GND, the drain of the PMOS tube M19 is connected to the NMOS tube M4.

[0015] Furthermore, the PMOS tube M1, PMOS tube M2, and PMOS tube M3 in the charge pump circuit CH1 form a current mirror, and the PMOS tube M1, PMOS tube M2, and PMOS tube M3 have the same width-to-length ratio. The rail-to-rail input operational amplifier A1 uses negative feedback to make the drain bias reference potentials of the PMOS tube M2, PMOS tube M3, NMOS tube M16, and NMOS tube M17 equal, thereby ensuring that the charging current of the charge pump circuit CH1, that is, the leakage current Iup1 of the PMOS tube M3, and the discharging current, that is, the leakage current Idn1 of the NMOS tube M17, accurately track the leakage current I2 of the PMOS tube M2 and the leakage current I16 of the NMOS tube M16. Since I2 is always equal to I16, Iup1=Idn1, thereby achieving accurate replication of the charging and discharging currents of the charge pump circuit CH1.
[0016] Furthermore, in the charge pump circuit CH2, the NMOS tubes M28, M9 and M30 form a current mirror, and the NMOS tubes M28, M9 and M30 have the same width-to-length ratio. The rail-to-rail input operational amplifier A2 uses negative feedback to make the drain bias reference potentials of the NMOS tubes M28, M29, M12 and M15 equal, thereby ensuring that the charging current of the charge pump circuit CH2, i.e., the leakage current Iup2 of the PMOS tube M12, and the discharging current, i.e., the leakage current Idn2 of the NMOS tube M28, accurately track the leakage current I15 of the PMOS tube M15 and the leakage current I29 of the NMOS tube M29. Since I15 is always equal to I29, Iup2=Idn2, thereby achieving accurate replication of the charging and discharging currents of the charge pump circuit CH2.
[0017] Furthermore, the signal of the input terminal UPN is opposite to the signal of the input terminal UPP, and the signal of the input terminal DNN is opposite to the signal of the input terminal DNP; in the DN current fast shutdown compensation circuit, the PMOS tube M22 is placed on the DN current discharge path node B to form a path with the PMOS tube M23 and the external power supply; the NMOS tube M23 is turned on for a delay time by delaying delay2 and the inverter INV2, and when the input signal DNP jumps to a valid low potential, the PMOS tube M22 and the PMOS tube M23 are turned on at the same time to raise the potential of the node B, and the DN current is quickly turned off, wherein the DN current IDN=Idn1+Idn2; after the DN current is completely turned off, the NMOS tube M9 is turned off when the delay time ends, and the NMOS tube M8 is turned off at the same time, thereby reducing the circuit leakage current and reducing the introduction of unnecessary noise; the capacitor C8 is used to compensate for the mismatch caused by the NMOS tube speed being faster than the PMOS tube speed.
[0018] Furthermore, in the UP current fast shutdown compensation circuit, the NMOS tube M8 is placed on the UP current discharge path node A to form a path with the NMOS tube M9 and the external ground line GND; the PMOS tube M9 is turned on for a delay time by delaying delay1 and the inverter INV1, and when the input signal UPN jumps to a valid high potential, the NMOS tubes M8 and M9 are turned on at the same time to pull down the potential of the node A, and quickly shut down the UP current, wherein the UP current IUP=Iup1+Iup2; after the UP current is completely shut down, the NMOS tube M9 is turned off when the delay time ends, and the NMOS tube M8 is turned off at the same time, thereby reducing the circuit leakage current and reducing the introduction of unnecessary noise.
[0019] Furthermore, in the dynamic current compensation circuit, the on-resistance of the NMOS tube M19, the NMOS tube M26, the PMOS tube M5 and the PMOS tube M13 will change with the change of the output voltage VCON, and the channel length modulation effect of the upper and lower current mirrors will be compensated by negative feedback; when the output voltage VCON rises, due to the channel length modulation effect of the transistor, the DN current rises with the increase of the output voltage VCON, the gate voltage of the NMOS tube M19 and the NMOS tube M26 rises, the on-resistance decreases, and the source voltage of the NMOS tube M16 and the NMOS tube M29 is pulled down; since the NMOS tube M16 and the NMOS tube M2 9 is a mirror image of the reference current source PBIAS and the reference current source NBIAS. In order to suppress the increase of the drain current caused by the increase of the source voltage of the NMOS tube M16 and the NMOS tube M29, the gate voltage of the NMOS tube M16 and the NMOS tube M29 is reduced accordingly, thereby causing the mirror current of M17 and M28 to decrease, and the DN current decreases accordingly; the output voltage VCON decreases in the same way; however, since the on-resistance of the PMOS tube M4, the PMOS tube M14, the NMOS tube M18, and the NMOS tube M27 is small, the dynamic adjustment range is limited, so the dynamic current compensation circuit is used for the overall circuit to roughly adjust the mismatch suppression.
[0020] Furthermore, the rail-to-rail input operational amplifier is used to provide negative feedback compensation, mainly to adjust one current to match another current, rather than to flatten the current response in the entire range; the rail-to-rail input operational amplifier A1 in the feedback loop of the charge pump circuit CH1 actively controls the bias voltages of the NMOS tubes M16 and M17 so that Idn1 follows the output trend of Iup1 and decreases as the output voltage VCON increases; the rail-to-rail input operational amplifier A2 in the feedback loop of the charge pump circuit CH2 actively controls the bias voltages of the PMOS tubes M12 and M15 so that Iup2 follows the output trend of Idn2 and increases as the output voltage VCON increases; the output filter circuit couples the output of the charge pump circuit CH1 with the output of the charge pump circuit CH2, and finally flattens the output current characteristics by superimposing the characteristics of the two opposite output current inclinations.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] 1. The present invention designs two sets of complementary charge pump circuits with different biases. Each charge pump circuit uses a rail-to-rail input operational amplifier to adjust one current to match another current, thereby reducing the mismatch between the UP current and the DN current of the charge pump circuit. At the same time, by superimposing the characteristics of two opposite output current tilts, the shortcomings of the single operational amplifier structure that the charging current and the discharge current change with the output voltage are overcome, and the linearity of the charge pump circuit is improved; and a dynamic current compensation circuit is designed to broaden the output voltage range under a certain current matching accuracy.
[0023] 2. The present invention uses a transmission gate with a complementary structure as the switch of the charge pump, which effectively avoids the mismatch caused by the inherent mismatch between different types of switch tubes. At the same time, the fast shutdown circuit used only works for a period of time when the switch is not completely turned off, reducing the circuit leakage current and avoiding the circuit mismatch caused by unnecessary noise introduction.

[0042] The dynamic current compensation circuit 6 includes: a PMOS tube M5, a PMOS tube M13, an NMOS tube M19, and an NMOS tube M26.

[0043] In the charge pump circuit CH1, the PMOS tubes M1, M2 and M3 form a current mirror, and the PMOS tubes M1, M2 and M3 have the same width-to-length ratio. The rail-to-rail input operational amplifier A1 uses negative feedback to make the drain bias reference potentials of the PMOS tubes M2, M3, NMOS tubes M16 and M17 equal, thereby ensuring that the charging current of the charge pump circuit CH1, i.e., the leakage current Iup1 of the PMOS tube M3, and the discharging current, i.e., the leakage current Idn1 of the NMOS tube M17, accurately track the leakage current I2 of the PMOS tube M2 and the leakage current I16 of the NMOS tube M16. Since I2 is always equal to I16, Iup1=Idn1, thereby achieving accurate replication of the charging and discharging currents of the charge pump circuit CH1.
[0044] In the charge pump circuit CH2, the NMOS tubes M28, M9 and M30 form a current mirror, and the NMOS tubes M28, M9 and M30 have the same width-to-length ratio. The rail-to-rail input operational amplifier A2 uses negative feedback to make the drain bias reference potentials of the NMOS tubes M28, M29, PMOS tubes M12 and M15 equal, thereby ensuring that the charging current of the charge pump circuit CH2, i.e., the leakage current Iup2 of the PMOS tube M12, and the discharging current, i.e., the leakage current Idn2 of the NMOS tube M28, accurately track the leakage current I15 of the PMOS tube M15 and the leakage current I29 of the NMOS tube M29. Since I15 is always equal to I29, Iup2=Idn2, thereby achieving accurate replication of the charging and discharging currents of the charge pump circuit CH2.
[0045] The signal at the input terminal UPN is opposite to the signal at the input terminal UPP, and the signal at the input terminal DNN is opposite to the signal at the input terminal DNP. In the DN current fast shutdown compensation circuit 3, the PMOS tube M22 is placed on the DN current discharge path node B to form a path with the PMOS tube M23 and an external power supply. The NMOS tube M23 is turned on for a delay time by delaying delay2 and the inverter INV2. When the input signal DNP jumps to a valid low potential, the PMOS tube M22 and the PMOS tube M23 are turned on at the same time to raise the potential of the node B, and the DN current is quickly turned off, wherein the DN current IDN=Idn1+Idn2. After the DN current is completely turned off, wait until the delay time ends, the NMOS tube M9 is turned off, and the NMOS tube M8 is turned off at the same time, thereby reducing the circuit leakage current and reducing the introduction of unnecessary noise. Capacitor C8 is used to compensate for the mismatch caused by the NMOS tube speed being faster than the PMOS tube speed.
[0046] In the UP current fast shutdown compensation circuit 4, the NMOS tube M8 is placed on the UP current discharge path node A and forms a path with the NMOS tube M9 and the external ground line GND. The PMOS tube M9 is turned on for a delay time by delay1 and the inverter INV1. When the input signal UPN jumps to a valid high potential, the NMOS tubes M8 and M9 are turned on at the same time to pull down the potential of the node A, and quickly turn off the UP current, wherein the UP current IUP=Iup1+Iup2. After the UP current is completely turned off, the NMOS tube M9 is turned off when the delay time is over, and the NMOS tube M8 is turned off at the same time, thereby reducing the circuit leakage current and reducing the introduction of unnecessary noise.
[0047] In the dynamic current compensation circuit 6, the on-resistance of the NMOS tube M19, the NMOS tube M26, the PMOS tube M5 and the PMOS tube M13 will change with the change of the output voltage VCON, and the channel length modulation effect of the upper and lower current mirrors will be compensated by the negative feedback. When the output voltage VCON rises, due to the channel length modulation effect of the transistor, the DN current rises with the increase of the output voltage VCON, the gate voltage of the NMOS tube M19 and the NMOS tube M26 rises, the on-resistance decreases, and the source voltage of the NMOS tube M16 and the NMOS tube M29 is pulled down. Since the NMOS tube M16 and the NMOS tube M29 are mirrored by the reference current source PBIAS and the reference current source NBIAS, in order to suppress the increase of the drain current caused by the increase of the source voltage of the NMOS tube M16 and the NMOS tube M29, the gate voltage of the NMOS tube M16 and the NMOS tube M29 is reduced accordingly, thereby causing the mirror current of M17 and M28 to decrease, and the DN current is reduced accordingly. The same is true for the decrease of the output voltage VCON. However, since the on-resistance of the PMOS tube M4 , the PMOS tube M14 , the NMOS tube M18 , and the NMOS tube M27 is relatively small, the dynamic adjustment range is limited, so the dynamic current compensation circuit 6 is used for coarse adjustment of the overall circuit to suppress mismatch.
[0048] Rail-to-rail input op amps are used to provide negative feedback compensation, mainly to adjust one current to match another current, rather than to flatten the current response over the entire range. The rail-to-rail input op amp A1 in the feedback loop of the charge pump circuit CH1 actively controls the bias voltages of the NMOS tubes M16 and M17 so that Idn1 follows the output trend of Iup1 and decreases as the output voltage VCON rises. The rail-to-rail input op amp A2 in the feedback loop of the charge pump circuit CH2 actively controls the bias voltages of the PMOS tubes M12 and M15 so that Iup2 follows the output trend of Idn2 and increases as the output voltage VCON rises. Although the difference between the currents can be significantly reduced, the change of the current with the output voltage VCON still exists. The output filter circuit 5 couples the output of the charge pump circuit CH1 with the output of the charge pump circuit CH2, and finally flattens the output current characteristics by superimposing the characteristics of the two opposite output current inclinations.

In order to suppress the increase of the drain current caused by the increase of the source voltage of the NMOS tube M16 and the NMOS tube M29, the gate voltage of the NMOS tube M16 and the NMOS tube M29 is reduced accordingly, thereby causing the mirror current of M17 and M28 to decrease, and the DN current to decrease accordingly; the output voltage VCON decreases in the same way; however, since the on-resistance of the PMOS tube M4, the PMOS tube M14, the NMOS tube M18, and the NMOS tube M27 is small, the dynamic adjustment range is limited, so the dynamic current compensation circuit (6) is used for the overall circuit to roughly adjust the mismatch suppression.
5. A low mismatch complementary charge pump for a charge pump phase-locked loop according to claim 1, characterized in that: The rail-to-rail input operational amplifier is used to provide negative feedback compensation, mainly to adjust one current to match another current, rather than to flatten the current response over the entire range; the rail-to-rail input operational amplifier A1 in the feedback loop of the charge pump circuit CH1 actively controls the bias voltages of the NMOS transistors M16 and M17 so that Idn1 follows the output trend of Iup1 and decreases as the output voltage VCON increases; the rail-to-rail input operational amplifier A2 in the feedback loop of the charge pump circuit CH2 actively controls the bias voltages of the PMOS transistors M12 and M15 so that Iup2 follows the output trend of Idn2 and increases as the output voltage VCON increases; the output filter circuit (5) couples the output of the charge pump circuit CH1 with the output of the charge pump circuit CH2, and finally flattens the output current characteristics by superimposing the characteristics of the two opposite output current inclinations.
