Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a DAC converter, in particular to a current injection hybrid DAC converter with a wide output voltage range and a conversion method. Background Art
[0002] A DAC converter (Digital-to-Analog Converter) is a device that converts digital quantities into analog quantities. In recent years, a new DAC structure has emerged: current-input DAC, which mainly uses segmented current sources to achieve high speed and resolution. Its working principle is to control the current generated by current sources with different bit weights by inputting digital codes, and the current output converts digital signals into analog signals. Its core unit is the current source array. The built-in DAC decoder drives the differential current switch at each DAC refresh, so that the current source array has two current outputs. The two outputs are complementary, which improves the dynamic performance and ensures its linearity while increasing the speed. The disadvantages of this current output DAC are: for an N-bit DAC, 2 N -1 current source, the static loss is large; at the same time, when the current of the binary weight of the DAC input is large, it will produce a large static error, resulting in insufficient accuracy of the output analog signal.
[0003] Most of the existing DC / DC power modules have a minimum output voltage of 0.7V. The internal DAC selects a resistor string DAC structure. The output voltage control schematic is shown in the figure. Figure 1 shown.
[0004] For an N-bit DAC digital control code, the corresponding output voltage control principle of the resistor string DAC structure is: the N-bit digital control code controls the switch of the resistor string to ensure that the output voltage increases the voltage on the resistor to be connected based on the FB voltage. Figure 1 In the figure, Vref is connected to the non-inverting input of the error amplifier EA, and the inverting input of the error amplifier is at the FB level. The compensation network of EA is connected between the inverting input and output of EA. Through the compensation network, the error amplifier EA clamps the voltage at the FB point at Vref, that is, V FB = Vref. The output voltage of the resistor string DAC structure is controlled by the DAC input digital code, such as Figure 1 K0, K1, K2, and K3 in the circuit respectively correspond to the four states after decoding the N-bit digital. If the lowest two bits of the N-bit digital are 00, K0, K01, and K03 will be turned on, and the other switches will be turned off, and the output V OUT =V R1 +V FBIf the lowest 2 bits of N are 11, K3, K23, and K03 will be turned on, and the other switches will be turned off, and the output V OUT =V R1 +V R2 +V R3 +V R4 +V FB For other higher output voltages, Figure 1 More resistor strings are stacked on the R4 resistor, and other higher DAC bits are used to control the conduction of the corresponding switches. Through the analysis of the output voltage of the resistor string DAC structure, it can be seen that the existing technology is based on the FB voltage, and the control of the voltage greater than FB is achieved through the resistor string.
[0005] The existing resistor string DAC structure has a control mode for the output voltage, which requires that the output voltage is always higher than V FB As users demand higher battery life in electronic products, the output voltage requirements for power supplies are getting lower and lower. For example, in order to improve the efficiency of PA power supply, many APT products require the output voltage to reach 0.4V or 0.5V. The existing resistor string DAC structure requires the output voltage to be higher than V FB The output voltage is too high to meet the requirement of 0.4V or 0.5V, and it is also unable to meet the demand for higher battery life in electronic products. Today, most power supplies have a 0.6V reference, namely V FB =0.6V, which means the output voltage must be greater than 0.6V. For applications where the output voltage is required to be 0.4V or 0.5V, a reference voltage source lower than 0.4V or 0.5V needs to be specially designed. The topology is relatively complex and the process selection requirements are also very high, making it difficult to implement. Summary of the invention

[0084] In order to make the purpose, advantages and features of the present invention more clear, the following is a further detailed description of a current injection hybrid DAC converter with a wide output voltage range and a conversion method proposed by the present invention in combination with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The advantages and features of the present invention will be more clear according to the following specific implementation methods.
[0085] The design idea of the present invention is to inject current to increase the output voltage V out Reduce to voltage V FB Below, the specific structure of this design idea refers to Figure 2 , including a reference current injection module Iref, a resistor R15, a resistor R20, a voltage adjustment module and an error amplification module.
[0086] Among them, the error amplification module includes an error amplifier EA and a compensation network; the non-inverting input terminal of the error amplifier is connected to the external reference voltage Vref, the inverting input terminal is connected to the FB terminal, the output terminal of the error amplifier is fed back to its inverting input terminal through the compensation network, and the FB level of the inverting input terminal of the error amplifier is clamped to be equal to the external reference voltage Vref of its non-inverting input terminal through the negative feedback regulation effect of the compensation network.
[0087] The voltage adjustment module includes a resistor R0 and a resistor R10; one end of the resistor R10 is connected to one end of the resistor R0 and connected to the FB terminal, and the other end of the resistor R10 is used as the output end of the DAC converter for outputting a voltage V out ; The other end of resistor R0 is grounded.
[0088] The input end of the reference current injection module Iref is used to connect to the external voltage VDD, and the output end is connected to one end of the resistor R15 and the resistor R20; the other end of the resistor R20 is grounded, and the other end of the resistor R15 is connected to the input end of the voltage adjustment module, and the input end of the voltage adjustment module is the aforementioned FB end.
[0089] Working principle:
[0090] The external reference voltage Vref is usually 0.6V, which is connected to the non-inverting input of the error amplifier EA. The inverting input of the error amplifier EA is the voltage FB. Through the compensation network, the error amplifier EA clamps the voltage of its inverting input at 0.6V, that is, V FB =Vref=0.6V.
[0091] The current injected by the reference current injection module Iref is first divided by resistors R15 and R20, and is divided into I4 and I3, where I4 is the current flowing through resistor R20, and I3 is the current flowing through R15. Secondly, the current I3 is divided by resistors R10 and R0, and is divided into I1 and I2, where I1 is the current flowing through R0, and I2 is the current flowing through R1. Since the current of I2 flows upward from the FB terminal to the OUT terminal, V is realized by injecting the reference current Iref. OUT Lower than V FB Voltage requirements.
[0092] By combining the following equations:
[0093] Iref=I4+I3
[0094] I3=I1+I2
[0095] V1=R20*I4
[0096] V1-V FB =R15*I3
[0097] V FB =R0*I1=V ref =0.6V
[0098] V OUT =V FB -R10*I2
[0099] It can be concluded that:
[0100] V OUT =0.6+I1*R10-(R20*Iref-0.6)R10 / (R15+R20)
[0101] It can be seen from the above formula that by selecting the appropriate resistance value and current value, V OUT <V ref =0.6V purpose.
[0102] Taking R0=60K, R10=5K, I1=10uA, R15=10K, we can get the parameter table of the corresponding devices in this DAC converter, as shown in Table 1.
[0103] Table 1

[0105] In order to eliminate the error caused by reference current injection, a reference current injection module Iref is specially designed. By selecting resistors of the same type and square resistance as the resistor string in the DAC, the required current can be injected to reduce the influence of process, temperature and voltage on the output voltage.

[0107] Among them, the MOS tube M1 is an NMOS tube, and the MOS tube M2 and the MOS tube M3 are both PMOS tubes.
[0108] The non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier OP is used to connect to the external reference voltage Vref2, the inverting input terminal is connected to the source of the MOS tube M1, the source of the MOS tube M1 is grounded through the resistor R30, the gate of the MOS tube M1 is connected to the output terminal of the operational amplifier OP, the drain of the MOS tube M1 is connected to the drain of the MOS tube M2, the gate and the drain of the MOS tube M2 are short-circuited, the gate of the MOS tube M2 is connected to the gate of the MOS tube M3, the sources of the MOS tubes M2 and M3 are both used to connect to the external voltage VDD, the drain of the MOS tube M3 is used as the output terminal of the reference current injection module Iref, and is connected to the resistor R15 and one end of the resistor R20.
[0109] The function of MOS tube M1 is to provide negative feedback to the operational amplifier OP, so that V R30 = Vref2, MOS tube M2 and MOS tube M3 are current mirrors, copying I R30 The current makes Iref=I R30 =Vref2 / R30.
[0110] In order to eliminate the error caused by current injection and reduce the influence of process, temperature and voltage on the output voltage, the square resistance of R30 is selected and Figure 2 R0, R10, R15, and R20 are of the same type and have the same square resistance.

[0130] The second resistor string module includes a plurality of second switches and a plurality of second resistors connected in series in sequence;
[0131] One end of one of the second resistors located at both ends serves as the input end of the second resistor string module, and is connected to the output end of the voltage adjustment module with one end of the switch K04 respectively, and is connected to the other end of the switch K04 through at least one third switch, and one end of the other second resistor is connected to the other end of the switch K04 through at least one third switch; a second connection node is provided between two adjacent second resistors, and the second connection node is connected to the other end of the switch K04 through at least one third switch.

[0135] When V OUT When the voltage is less than 0.6V, the decoded digital input signal from the DAC converter is selected from the 0th state to the 3rd state, respectively controlling the Figure 5 K0, K1, K2, and K3 are closed, and the rest of the switches are open.
[0136] When V OUT When the voltage is greater than 0.6V, the 4th to 7th states decoded in the digital input signal input by the DAC converter are selected to control Figure 5 K4, K5, K6, and K7 are closed, and the rest of the switches are open.

[0139] V out =V FB +V R6 +V R1 =0.6+0.05+0.05=0.7V, R10=R6=R7=R8=5kΩ.
[0140] In order to meet the requirements of Table 1 REF =50uF, and eliminate the error caused by current injection. A resistor with the same square resistance as that in the resistor network is used to realize the current that needs to be injected. Figure 3 The Iref current generation circuit selects V REF2 =0.9V, R30=18kΩ, making Iref=0.9 / 18=50uA.

[0148] Step 4: Adjust the voltage at the FB terminal to be equal to the reference voltage Vref through the error amplification module;
[0149] Step 5: Divide the voltage at the FB terminal by the voltage adjustment module to obtain the output voltage Vout;

The positive reference voltage of the error amplifier EA is 0.6V. For the control of the output voltage greater than the FB voltage, a resistor string is usually used to control the output voltage of the DAC structure. For other higher output voltages, this can be achieved by Figure 1 More resistor strings are stacked on the R4 resistor, and other higher DAC bits are used to control the opening and closing of the corresponding switches. It can be seen from the figure that the existing resistor string DAC converter can only achieve an output voltage greater than 0.6V, and cannot obtain an output voltage ≤0.6V.

When the DAC code is 0101, only resistor R6 is connected, and the output voltage V out is 0.70V; when the DAC code is 0110, resistors R6 and R7 are connected, and the output voltage V out is 0.75V; when the DAC code is 0111, resistors R6, R7 and R8 are all connected, and the output voltage V out It is 0.80V; and so on, when a higher output voltage is needed, more resistors can be set accordingly.
[0158] In summary, in the present invention, when the output voltage V out When the output voltage V out When ≤0.6V, the current injection module and error amplifier module in the DAC converter work, and the output voltage V is achieved by selecting the appropriate resistance value and current value. out In order to achieve the purpose of less than 0.6V and realize the requirement of extremely low output voltage of DAC, a current injection hybrid DAC combining current injection and resistor string is adopted, and the 0.6V reference is used. The circuit topology is simpler and the reliability is high.
