Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a CTLE dynamic offset voltage calibration circuit. Background Art
[0002] In order to meet the growing demand for data capacity, rate and throughput in data centers, the performance requirements of RF / analog integrated circuits are becoming increasingly stringent. To reduce power consumption, the current mainstream double-rate synchronous dynamic random access memory has adopted a single-ended signal transmission mode, which places higher requirements on circuit accuracy compared to the fully differential signal transmission mode.
[0003] High-speed data links often use fully differential amplifiers, but due to process deviations and random errors, there is mismatch in integrated circuit devices, which causes the amplifier to generate an offset voltage. In actual operation, the offset voltage will be superimposed on the actual signal, changing the threshold voltage required for the amplifier output to flip, thereby affecting the signal accuracy, and in severe cases may cause bit errors.
[0004] In order to increase the information transmission rate, the receiver often uses a continuous time linear equalizer (CTLE) to alleviate problems such as inter-symbol interference and bandwidth reduction introduced by non-ideal channel characteristics. CTLE has an adjustable gain function, but the gain change will cause the offset voltage to change, making the initial calibration invalid. However, in most cases, the system cannot provide time to recalibrate the offset voltage.
[0005] In high-speed communication systems, CTLE is usually used as the first stage of the receiver. Its offset voltage needs to be calibrated when the system starts up, but it cannot be calibrated again during normal operation. Since the CTLE output offset voltage changes with the gain, adjusting the DC gain will generate a new offset voltage, thereby reducing the system accuracy.
[0006] At present, the industry mainly adopts the following methods to solve the CTLE offset voltage calibration problem: add a programmable current source array at the CTLE current source bias, and change the DC voltage at the differential output end by adjusting the current to make it equal. First, use a comparator to compare the differential output voltage, and then calculate the adjustment strategy of the programmable current source through the offset voltage calibration algorithm, and finally achieve offset voltage calibration. However, this method cannot adjust the offset voltage calibration value in real time according to the change of CTLE gain.
[0007] The dynamic offset voltage calibration method for a CTLE circuit proposed in the present invention can perform real-time correction according to a change in direct current gain without the need for recalibration. Summary of the invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0044] In order to clearly describe the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, in the embodiments of the present invention, words such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish the same or similar items with substantially the same functions and effects. Those skilled in the art can understand that words such as "first" and "second" do not limit the quantity and execution order.
[0045] Figure 1 The invention discloses a block diagram of a CTLE dynamic offset voltage calibration circuit, which includes an analog switch, a CTLE, a comparator, a gain-to-current converter, a programmable current source and a calibration circuit.
[0046] The CTLE includes a positive signal input terminal and a negative signal input terminal, and also includes a positive signal output terminal and a negative signal output terminal. In addition, an analog switch is connected in series between the positive signal input terminal and the negative signal input terminal. After the control terminal of the analog switch receives an enable signal, the analog switch is turned on, so that the positive signal input terminal and the negative signal input terminal are short-circuited. At this time, the voltage difference of the differential output of the CTLE is the offset voltage.
[0047] By way of example, the analog switch may be a transmission gate, and the analog switch receives a pair of inverse signals as control signals.
[0048] The CTLE also receives a gain control signal as an input signal. For example, the gain control signal may be a 3-bit digital code, such as A<2:0>, including: A <2> , A <1> and A <0> Furthermore, in actual use, the inverted signal of the gain control signal can also be used in combination: Ab <2> ,Ab <1> and Ab <0> The gain control signal can be used to adjust the gain of the CTLE.
[0049] The negative signal output terminal of the CTLE and the positive signal output terminal of the CTLE are connected to the same-direction input terminal of the comparator and the inverting input terminal of the comparator respectively. The comparator also receives a clock signal as an input signal.
[0050] The output terminal of the comparator is connected to the calibration circuit, and the comparator outputs a high level or a low level comparison result to the calibration circuit. The calibration circuit can output an enable signal, and the enable signal can be transmitted to the control terminal of the analog switch.
[0051] The calibration circuit generates a 6-bit current adjustment control code according to the comparison result output by the comparator.

[0052] The gain-to-current converter receives a first bias current and a gain control signal provided externally, and converts the gain control signal into a second bias current for changing a reference bias current of a programmable current source, thereby achieving a gain adaptive target.
[0053] Two output terminals of the programmable current source are respectively connected to the negative signal output terminal and the positive signal output terminal of the CLTE, and are used to adjust the output direction and magnitude of the current to compensate for the offset voltage.

It includes a load resistor, a differential input pair consisting of two N-channel Metal Oxide Semiconductor (NMOS) tubes, two current sources, a feedback resistor and a feedback capacitor. The feedback resistor is controlled by the gain control signal to adjust the gain of the CTLE. The control ends of the differential input pair are the positive input end and the negative input end, respectively, and the connection nodes between the differential input pair and the load resistor are the negative output end and the positive output end. One end of the load resistor is connected to the device operating voltage (Voltage Drain-to-Drain, VDD), and one end of the current source is connected to the common ground voltage (Voltage Source-to-Source, VSS).

[0057] The drains of PMOS tubes M5 and M7 are connected to the negative output terminal, the drains of PMOS tubes M6 and M8 are connected to the positive output terminal, the drain of PMOS tube M9 is connected to the source of NMOS tube M3, and the drain of PMOS tube M10 is connected to the source of NMOS tube M4.
[0058] The gate of the PMOS tube M5 is connected to the positive output terminal, and the gate of the PMOS tube M6 is connected to the negative output terminal. The gate of the PMOS tube M7 is connected to the clock signal, and the gate of the PMOS tube M8 is connected to the clock signal. The gate of the PMOS tube M9 is connected to the clock signal, and the gate of the PMOS tube M10 is connected to the clock signal. The function of the clock signal is to reset the comparator.

[0060] The drain of NMOS tube M3 is connected to the drain of PMOS tube M5, and the drain of NMOS tube M4 is connected to the drain of PMOS tube M6. The source of NMOS tube M3 is connected to the drain of NMOS tube M1, and the source of NMOS tube M4 is connected to the drain of NMOS tube M2. The source of NMOS tube M2 and the source of NMOS tube M1 are both connected to the drain of NMOS tube M0, and the source of NMOS tube M0 is connected to VSS.
[0061] Figure 4is a flowchart of the calibration circuit. When the offset voltage calibration starts, it is initialized first, and the current adjustment control code output by the calibration circuit is set to 0, which is recorded as out=0. In this example, the current adjustment control code is 6 bits. In the present invention, the current adjustment control code output by the calibration circuit makes: within m clock cycles, the number n of high levels output by the comparator is within a set interval including m / 2, where m is a positive integer and n is an integer.
[0062] Then, the number n of high levels output by the comparator within m clock cycles is counted.
[0063] If 0.55×m>n>0.45×m holds, the calibration process ends, the current out value is used as the current adjustment control code, and the enable signal is turned off.
[0064] If n≤0.45×m, turn on the enable signal, update out=out+32, and count the number n of high levels output by the comparator within m clock cycles.
[0065] If n≥0.55×m, turn on the enable signal, update out=out+64, and count the number n of high levels output by the comparator within m clock cycles.
[0066] Next, determine whether 0.55×m>n>0.45×m is true. If true, the calibration process ends, and the current out value is used as the current adjustment control code, and the enable signal is turned off. If not true, determine whether out is greater than 32. If out>32, the calibration process ends, and the current out value is used as the current adjustment control code, and the enable signal is turned off. If out≤32, update out=out+1, and count the number of high levels output by the comparator within m clock cycles.
[0067] Then, it continues to determine whether 0.55×m>n>0.45×m is true, and updates the out value in a timely manner until 0.55×m>n>0.45×m is true, or out>32 is true. It is worth mentioning that the out value is only 6 bits, so overflow may occur when updating the out value.
