Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of integrated circuit technology, and in particular to a static current control circuit and an operational amplifier. Background Technology
[0002] Operational amplifiers are widely used in integrated circuits, and quiescent current is a crucial parameter for power operational amplifiers. The quiescent current is the total current of an operational amplifier when it is unloaded, with stable DC input and output voltages, and both input and output voltages are within their operating range. The quiescent current of a power operational amplifier equals the sum of the driver stage quiescent current and the quiescent currents of other components, with the driver stage quiescent current accounting for the majority of the total quiescent current. Therefore, the magnitude of the total quiescent current of an operational amplifier is primarily determined by the driver stage quiescent current, and the total quiescent current is controlled by controlling the driver stage quiescent current.
[0003] In existing technologies, the quiescent current of the drive stage is usually controlled by adjusting the resistance value in the operational amplifier. However, this method is affected by the absolute parameters of the operational amplifier, such as the amplification factor of the transistor, the base-emitter voltage of the transistor, and the resistance value. Since there is a certain error between the absolute parameters and the actual values, the quiescent current of the operational amplifier cannot be accurately adjusted. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] The static control feedback module is connected to both the current source drive module and the current sink drive module. When the current source drive voltage is less than the first reference voltage, the current sink drive current output to the current sink drive module is increased. The current sink drive module decreases the output target voltage based on the current sink drive current and feeds the target voltage back to the input stage module. The input stage module decreases the output gain drive current to the gain module based on the decreased input target voltage. The gain module increases the input current source drive current to the current source drive module based on the decreased drive current. The current source drive module increases the static current of the drive stage based on the increased current source drive current, thereby keeping the static current of the drive stage balanced. This avoids the influence of the absolute parameters of the operational amplifier on the control of the static current of the drive stage achieved by adjusting the resistance value in the operational amplifier in the prior art, and achieves precise control of the static current of the drive stage.

[0056] When the static control feedback module 300 detects that the current source drive voltage of the current source drive module 400 is less than the first reference voltage, it increases the current sink drive current output to the current sink drive module 500, that is, the base current of the fourth N-type transistor N4 increases, thereby increasing the target voltage V output by the current sink drive module 500. OUT When the voltage at the non-inverting input of the first amplifier A1 increases, the output current of the first amplifier A1 decreases, and the current received at the base of the first N-type transistor N1 decreases. This decreases the collector current of the first N-type transistor N1, thus increasing the current input to the base of the second N-type transistor N2. The emitter current of the third N-type transistor N3 also increases, resulting in an increase in the drive stage current, thereby maintaining the balance of the current.

Figure 3As shown, the control circuit further includes: a first reference source module, which is connected to the static control feedback module 300 and is used to provide a first reference voltage to the static control feedback module 300; the first reference source module includes: a third current source I3, a tenth N-type transistor N10, an eleventh N-type transistor N11, a sixth resistor R6, a seventh resistor R7, and a fourth current source I4; the first terminal of the third current source I3 is connected to the first terminal of an external power supply, and the second terminal of the third current source I3 is connected to the collector of the tenth N-type transistor N10; the base of the tenth N-type transistor N10 is connected to the sixth resistor R6. 6 is connected to the first terminal of the fourth current source I4 and the non-inverting input terminal of the second amplifier A2 respectively.

[0059]
[0060] in, , Therefore:
[0061]
[0062] Due to the virtual short-circuit characteristic of the second amplifier A2A2, the voltages at its two input terminals are equal, therefore:
[0063]
[0064] Therefore, the quiescent current of the drive stage is:
[0065]
[0066] Among them, the second N-type transistor N2, the third N-type transistor N3, the tenth N-type transistor N10, and the eleventh N-type transistor N11 are similar devices, and their base-emitter voltages can be considered to be close. Therefore:
[0067]
[0068] In the design, the third resistor R3, the sixth resistor R6, and the seventh resistor R7 are all of the same type. Therefore, the final static current value of the drive stage is entirely determined by the ratio of the resistance values of the third current source I3, the fourth current source I4, the sixth resistor R6, and the third resistor R3. And the ratio of the resistance of the seventh resistor R7 to the resistance of the third resistor R3 This allows for precise control of the quiescent current of the drive stage.
[0069] It should be noted that during the design process, if the current and emitter area of the third N-type transistor N3 and the tenth N-type transistor N10 are not proportional due to device structure and layout, the static current of the drive stage can be set to a reasonable value by appropriately adjusting the resistance values of the sixth resistor R6 and the seventh resistor R7.

[0072]
[0073] in, , Therefore:
[0074]
[0075] Due to the virtual short-circuit characteristic of the second amplifier A2, the voltages at its two input terminals are equal.
[0076]
[0077] Since the third N-type transistor N3 and the tenth N-type transistor N10 are similar devices, their base-emitter voltages can be considered to be close. Therefore:
[0078]
[0079] If the sixth resistor R6 and the seventh resistor R7 are of the same type, then the final static current value of the drive stage is entirely determined by the ratio of the resistance values of the third current source I3 and the fourth current source I4, and the resistance value of the sixth resistor R6 to the resistance value of the third resistor R3. And the ratio of the resistance of the seventh resistor R7 to the resistance of the third resistor R3 This allows for precise control of the quiescent current of the drive stage.
[0080] It should be noted that during the design process, if the current and emitter area of the third N-type transistor N3 and the tenth N-type transistor N10 are not proportional due to device structure and layout, the static current of the drive stage can be set to a reasonable value by appropriately adjusting the resistance values of the sixth resistor R6 and the seventh resistor R7.

[0129]
[0130] Since N2 and N10 are similar devices, and the area of N2 is not large, their base-emitter voltages can be considered to be similar.
[0131]
[0132] From the above equation, it can be seen that the static current of the drive stage is related to... The base-emitter voltage and other process parameters of the NPN transistor are irrelevant. Although the quiescent current of the drive stage is still related to the resistance value, it is not relevant to the process parameters of the NPN transistor.
