Description

Technical Field

[0002] Bandgap reference voltage source is an important functional module of most analog integrated circuits, digital-analog hybrid integrated circuits and other systems. It is widely used in analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), digital-to-analog converters (DACs), power management and radio frequency integrated circuits for its high precision, low temperature drift and high stability. Since the high-precision reference voltage source can provide a reference voltage that is less correlated with power supply voltage, process, temperature and other factors, it is crucial to the performance of the entire circuit system. The traditional bandgap reference voltage source circuit usually consists of a base-emitter voltage of a transistor as a voltage inversely proportional to absolute temperature (CTAT), the base-emitter voltage difference of two transistors and a resistor array to generate a voltage proportional to temperature (PTAT) through the virtual short or virtual open characteristics of the two input terminals of the amplifier, and with temperature compensation technology, such as second-order compensation, segmented compensation and other technologies, to reduce the impact of temperature changes on the reference voltage, and finally to generate a high-precision reference voltage by adjusting the ratio of the resistors. However, in traditional bandgap reference circuits, the offset voltage of the amplifier will affect the accuracy of the reference voltage, the proportional mismatch of the bipolar transistors will also have a great impact on the overall system performance of the circuit, the resistors and compensation circuits will occupy too large a layout area, and the power consumption is high and the anti-interference ability is weak, resulting in inaccurate reference voltage output. Nowadays, in application scenarios such as power management chips, PLLs, AD / DA converters, etc., the accuracy, stability, temperature coefficient, power consumption, area, etc. of the bandgap reference voltage source are increasingly required.

[0029] The present invention provides a CMOS bandgap reference voltage source with anti-interference capability, adopts a switched capacitor amplifier to achieve a high-precision reference voltage, eliminates the influence of the amplifier's offset voltage on the output voltage accuracy, eliminates the error caused by the mismatch of the bipolar transistor, and achieves a high-precision reference voltage by adjusting the capacitance ratio. The circuit structure is simple, and has the characteristics of high accuracy, adjustable reference voltage, low power consumption, small layout area, strong anti-interference capability, etc.

[0030] The principle of the traditional bandgap reference voltage source is as follows Figure 1 As shown, the basic principle is to add the voltage with positive temperature coefficient and the voltage with negative temperature coefficient with a certain weight to obtain the reference voltage with zero temperature coefficient. The formula can be expressed as:

[0031]

[0032] Where V + is the positive temperature coefficient voltage, V - is a negative temperature coefficient voltage, α and β are weight coefficients, and by selecting appropriate α and β values ​​to make formula (1) valid, a reference voltage with zero temperature coefficient can be obtained. The output reference voltage expression is:

[0033] V REF =α·V + +β·V - (2);

[0034] (1) Negative temperature coefficient voltage

[0035] The voltage between the base and emitter of a bipolar transistor is V BE Has a negative temperature coefficient. For a bipolar device, the collector current I C As shown in formula (3), I S is the saturation current, V T is the thermal voltage, where the saturation current I S and thermal voltage V T and temperature as shown in equations (4) and (5), where Eg is the band gap energy of silicon, k is the Boltzmann constant, m is the coefficient of electron mobility related to temperature, m≈-1.5, q is the electron charge, and T is the absolute temperature.

[0036]

[0037]

[0038]

[0039] From the collector current formula, we can get the base emitter voltage V BE formula:

[0040]

[0041] V BE Take the derivative with respect to temperature:

[0042]

[0043] After taking the derivative of the second term in equation (7), we get:

[0044]

[0045] Combining equations (7) and (8), we get:

[0046]

[0047] When the room temperature T = 300K, V BE ≈750mV, E g =1.12eV, m≈-1.5 is substituted into the above equation (9), and the value obtained in the equation is approximately equal to 1.5mV / ℃.

[0048] (2) Positive temperature coefficient voltage

[0049] The base emitter voltage of a bipolar transistor is V BE It has a negative temperature coefficient. If two bipolar transistors (first transistor Q1, second transistor Q2) are of different sizes and operate at different collector current densities, the base-emitter voltage difference ΔV between the two isBE Appears as a positive temperature coefficient voltage:

[0050]

[0051] Reference Figure 2 , and formula (10), where I0 is the bias current, it can be known that the difference between the base-emitter voltages of the two transistors (i.e., the base-emitter voltage of Q1 is V BE1 The base-emitter voltage of Q2 is V BE2 The difference between ΔV and ΔV is a positive temperature coefficient. BE About 53mV.

[0052] Under the guidance of the traditional bandgap reference source principle, a common bandgap reference source implementation structure is as follows Figure 3 As shown, in Figure 3 In the figure, according to the virtual short characteristics of the positive and negative input terminals of the amplifier, that is, the voltage at point X is equal to the voltage at point Y, it can be obtained that the voltage across R1 is the difference between the base-emitter voltages of the two transistors:

[0053]

[0054] Where N is the ratio of the emitter areas of transistors Q1 and Q2, the current across R1 is V T lnN / R1 is proportional to the temperature. MOS tubes MP1, MP2, and MP3 form a current mirror structure to achieve accurate replication of the current, and finally obtain the reference voltage V OUT for:

[0055]

[0056] Where V BE3 is the base-emitter voltage of transistor Q3. By adjusting the ratio of the two resistors, the output reference voltage V OUT , the general voltage value is around 1.24V.

[0057] From the above analysis, we can see that in the traditional bandgap reference voltage source circuit, the amplifier offset voltage is not eliminated, which will affect the accuracy of the reference source. The ratio of the adjustment resistor will occupy a large layout area. The emitter area of ​​the two bipolar transistors will be mismatched due to different processes, which is not easy to transplant the process, resulting in inaccurate voltage output. The continuous-time bandgap reference voltage source will also have the disadvantage of high power consumption, and the reference circuit can only output a single reference voltage, generally around 1.24V. Finally, at room temperature, ΔV BE The value is generally 53mV. As the input voltage of the amplifier, it may be aliased with the low-frequency noise of the amplifier, resulting in inaccurate output reference voltage and poor resistance to environmental interference.

[0058] The purpose of the present invention is to introduce a novel bandgap reference voltage source structure, which adopts a switched capacitor amplifier to achieve a high-precision reference voltage, eliminates the influence of the amplifier's offset voltage on the output voltage accuracy, eliminates the error caused by the mismatch of the bipolar transistor, and achieves a high-precision reference voltage by adjusting the capacitance ratio and the amplifier's amplification factor. The circuit structure is simple and has the characteristics of high precision, adjustable reference voltage, low power consumption, small layout area, strong anti-interference ability, etc.

[0065] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first switch S1 can be selectively connected to the first input point IN1 and the third input point IN3 in the triode unit. The second switch S2 can be selectively connected to the second input point IN2 and the first amplifier input point IN4 in the switched capacitor amplifier unit.

[0066] According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the sources of the first MOS transistor and the second MOS transistor are both connected to the power supply terminal VDD, the drain and the gate of the first MOS transistor are both connected to the first output point O1, and the drain of the second MOS transistor is connected to the second output point O2. The source of the first triode Q1 is connected to the first input point IN1, the gate of the first triode Q1 is connected to the source of the second triode Q2, and the drain of the first triode Q1 is connected to the gate and drain of the second triode Q2 and then connected to the ground GND.

[0067] The current mirror ratio of the cascode current mirror formed by the first MOS transistor MP1 and the second MOS transistor MP2 is 1:N, where N is any integer, for example, any integer between 1-200.

[0068] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the pre-charge mode, the bandgap reference voltage source is connected to the first input point IN1 by the first switch S1, the second switch S2 is connected to the second input point IN2, the third switch S3 and the fifth switch S5 are closed, and the offset voltage of the amplifier can be detected. In the stable reference voltage output mode, the third switch S3 is opened, the amplifier offset voltage is stored on the second capacitor C2, the fourth switch S4 is closed, so that the offset voltage of the amplifier is connected to the output end of the amplifier to eliminate the offset voltage, and the first switch S1 and the second switch S2 are switched to be connected to the third input point IN3 and the first amplifier input point IN4 respectively, and the output reference voltage is stabilized. By adjusting the ratio of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2, different output reference voltages can be obtained. For example, a 2.5V reference voltage output can be achieved.

[0069] In the disclosed embodiment, the transistors (the first transistor Q1 , the second transistor Q2 , the third transistor Q3 , and the fourth transistor Q4 ) are bipolar transistors.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the bipolar transistors Q2 and Q4 are in diode connection form and are stacked on the transistors Q1 and Q3 respectively.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first switch S1, the second switch S2, and the third switch S3 are clock-controlled switches, and MOS tubes or bipolar transistors may also be used as switches.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 are CMOS process capacitors, usually MIM capacitors or MOM capacitors;

[0073] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, when the current flowing through transistors Q1 and Q2 is I, the base-emitter voltage difference of Q1 and Q2 is V BE11(I) and V BE12(I) When the current flowing is NI, the base-emitter voltage difference of Q1 and Q2 is V BE12(NI) and V BE12(NI) Similarly, when the current flowing through transistors Q3 and Q4 is I, the base-emitter voltage difference of Q3 and Q4 is V BE21(I) and V BE22(I) When the current flowing is NI, the base-emitter voltage difference of Q3 and Q4 is V BE21(NI) and V BE22(NI) .

[0074] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the bandgap reference voltage source is in the pre-charge mode, combined with Figure 4 Figure 5As shown, switches S1 and S2 are turned to the left, and switch S3 is closed to short-circuit C2. At this time, the amplifier works like a voltage follower, and the output port voltage of the amplifier is equal to its negative input port voltage. Due to the virtual short-circuit characteristics of the positive and negative input terminals of the amplifier, the output port voltage of the amplifier is V BE11(I) +V BE12(I) At this time, the voltage on the left side of capacitor C1 is V BE11(I) +V BE12(I) , the voltage on the right is V BE21(NI) +V BE22(NI) , capacitor C1 will remain in this powered-on state until the switch switches to the reference voltage output mode of operation.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the bandgap reference voltage source is in a stable reference voltage output mode, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, switch S3 is turned on, C1 saves the voltage of the left and right plates in the pre-power-on mode, and then Figure 4 The switches S1 and S2 are placed on the right side. At this time, the positive input voltage of the amplifier increases by V BE11(NI) +V BE12(NI) -V BE1i(I) -V BE12(I) , the voltage at the left end of capacitor C1 increases by V BE21(NI) +V BE22(NI) -V BE21(I) -V BE22(I) , using the charge conservation law at point A, we can get the output voltage of the amplifier at this time: VOUT = V BE11(I) +V BE12(I) +[(V BE11(NI) +V BE12(NI) )-(V BE11(I) +V BE12(I) )]×(1+C1 / C2)+[(V BE21(NI) +V BE22(NI) )-(V BE21(I) +V BE22(I) )]×C1 / C2)

[0076] =V BE11(NI) +V BE12(NI) +(C1 / C2)×{[(V BE11(NI) +V BE12(NI) )-(V BE11(I) +V BE12(I) )]+[(V BE21(NI) +V BE22(NI) )-(V BE21(I) +V BE22(I) )]} (13)

[0077] Under standard technology, the base-emitter voltage V of the transistor in the circuit is BE, ΔV of the two transistors BE The values ​​of are all equal, then the final output can be expressed as:

[0078]

[0079] Among them, the voltage V BE is a voltage that is inversely proportional to temperature (CTAT), ΔV BE It is a voltage proportional to temperature (PTAT).

[0080] At room temperature, take N = 24, the traditional ΔV BE =V T lnN=(kT / q)lnN=53mV, assuming that the current I is equal to 1uA, NI=24uA, then the total current of the circuit is equal to I+NI=25uA, and this circuit can achieve 4ΔV BE =212mV, the traditional circuit needs to achieve such an equivalent ΔV BE , the total circuit current required is I+N 4 I=(1+24 4 )uA, it is obvious that this circuit greatly reduces the power consumption, and the output of 2.5V reference current can be obtained from the final reference output expression.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the CMOS bandgap reference voltage source with anti-interference capability has the capability of eliminating the amplifier offset voltage. Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, when the bandgap reference voltage source is in the pre-power-on state, Figure 4 On the basis of the circuit, switches S4 and S5 are added, so that C2 is no longer directly connected to the output of the amplifier, but connected to the positive input of the amplifier. When switch S3 is closed, switch S5 is closed at the same time to detect the offset voltage of the amplifier. When the circuit is switched to the reference voltage output mode, switch S3 is opened to store the amplifier offset voltage on C2, and S4 is closed to connect the amplifier offset voltage to the output of the amplifier to eliminate the offset voltage. Finally, the circuit starts to switch switches S1 and S2 to work normally.

[0082] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the reference voltage provided by the CMOS bandgap reference voltage source with anti-interference capability can achieve an output of about 2.5V, which is doubled compared with the reference voltage output of the traditional structure, and the difference voltage is expanded to 4 times, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the amplifier input port and enhancing the anti-interference capability of the circuit; the reference voltage is realized by a switched capacitor amplifier, which significantly reduces power consumption; compared with the traditional bandgap reference structure, there is no resistor in the circuit of the present invention, which saves the area of ​​the layout; there is no requirement for the ratio of the four transistors in the circuit, which reduces the error caused by the inaccurate matching of the transistor ratios compared with the traditional structure, and the process transplantation is simpler; it can be seen from formula (13) that different output reference voltages can be obtained by adjusting the ratio of the two capacitors; the CMOS bandgap reference voltage source with anti-interference capability disclosed in the present disclosure eliminates the offset voltage of the amplifier and can output a reference voltage with higher accuracy.
