[0032] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the differential transconductance unit includes: a thirty-ninth transistor M1, a fortieth transistor M2, a forty-first transistor M3, and a forty-second transistor M4; The first chopping switch unit includes a forty-third transistor P1, a forty-fourth transistor P2, a forty-fifth transistor P3, and a forty-sixth transistor P4; The first end D of the thirty-ninth transistor M1 is connected to the first end D of the nineteenth transistor P5 as the first output end of the differential transconductance unit, and the first end D of the fortieth transistor M2 is connected to the first end D of the twentieth transistor P6 as the second output end of the differential transconductance unit; The second end S of the thirty-ninth transistor M1 is connected to the second end S of the fortieth transistor M2, the first end D of the forty-first transistor M3 is connected to the second end S of the thirty-ninth transistor M1, the second end S of the forty-first transistor M3 is connected to the first end D of the forty-second transistor M4, and the second end S of the forty-second transistor M4 serves as the third output end of the differential transconductance unit; The first end D of the 43rd transistor P1 and the first end D of the 45th transistor P3 are both connected to the control end G of the 39th transistor M1, and the first end D of the 44th transistor P2 and the first end D of the 46th transistor P4 are both connected to the control end G of the 40th transistor M2; The second end S of the forty-third transistor P1 is connected to the second end S of the forty-fourth transistor P2 and is connected to the first voltage signal Vinp. The second end S of the forty-fifth transistor P3 and the second end S of the forty-sixth transistor P4 are connected to the second voltage signal Vinn output by the second end S of the fourteenth transistor P20.
[0033] like Figure 2As shown, P1~P4, P9~P12 and M9~P12 are added to the second ends S of M1, M2, P13, P14, M13 and M14. When the frequency of the differential input signal connected to the first-stage operational amplifier module 10 is high, the parasitic capacitance between the second end S of the chopper switch (i.e., P1~P4, P9~P12 and M9~M12) and the ground causes the impedance to decrease, and the mismatch of P13, P14, M13 and M14 will contribute to the output end of the first-stage operational amplifier module 10. A small-sized common-gate tube (P7, P8, M7, M8) is added between the common-gate tube (P13-P14, M13-M14) at the output end and the load tube (M5-M6, P5-P6), thereby reducing the mismatch contribution of the common-gate tube (P13-P14, M13-M14) at the output end and achieving higher-precision sampling output. The switch capacitor in the filter module 20 can be equivalent to: The resistor forms a pole with the subsequent capacitor, which will introduce additional phase shift, deteriorate loop stability, and limit loop bandwidth. To achieve high bandwidth, a second-stage operational amplifier module 40 is added to introduce a left zero point, such as Figure 2 As shown, by compensating the phase of the high-frequency signal output by the first-stage operational amplifier module 10 and processed by the filter module 20, the loop bandwidth of the operational amplifier circuit can be improved to achieve high-bandwidth sampling output.
[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the operational amplifier circuit is composed of four parts: a first-stage operational amplifier module 10 , a filter module 20 , a buffer module 30 and a second-stage operational amplifier module 40 .
[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the control terminals G of M1 and M2 of the first-stage operational amplifier module 10 add P1~P4, modulate the input differential input signal to the preset switching frequency, insert M9~M12 and P9~P12 between M5-M6, P5-P6 and P13-P14, M13-M14, demodulate the high-frequency differential input signal to a low frequency, and modulate the offset caused by the mismatch between M1 and M2 and the mismatch between M5-M6, P5-P6 to the preset switching frequency. The control terminals of P1~P4, P9~P12 and M9~M12 can be connected to pulse signals, and the preset switching frequency can be the frequency of the pulse signal pre-set according to the demand, so that a pair of transistors connected to the second terminal S can be turned on and off alternately. For example, the pulse signal connected to P3 and P4 can make P4 turn off when P3 is turned on, and P4 turn on when P3 is turned off. P1 and P2 can also be used as a pair of transistors with a common second terminal S. P9 and P10 may also be used as a pair of transistors sharing a second terminal S. P11 and P12 may also be used as a pair of transistors sharing a second terminal S. M9 and M10 may also be used as a pair of transistors sharing a second terminal S. M11 and M12 may also be used as a pair of transistors sharing a second terminal S.
[0036] Due to the periodic switching of M9~M12 and P9~P12 in the first-stage operational amplifier module 10, there is a parasitic capacitance between the second end S of M9~M12 and P9~P12 and the ground, and the impedance between the second end S of P13, P14, M13 and M14 and the ground will be reduced, and the mismatch will contribute to the output end. Therefore, by inserting a small-sized common-gate tube (P7, P8, M7, M8), the parasitic capacitance can be reduced, and the mismatch contribution of the common-gate tube (P13-P14, M13-M14) at the output end can be reduced. Finally, the target signal output by the first-stage operational amplifier module 10 includes a low-frequency signal with a high proportion and a high-frequency signal with a low proportion. There may be a high-frequency mismatch signal in the high-frequency signal. The high-frequency mismatch signal is filtered out by the filter module 20 connected to the post-stage to achieve high-precision signal sampling.
[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the filter module 20 is composed of switch capacitors C2-C4 and P15-P18. In the current cycle, P16 and P17 are turned on, P15 and P18 are turned off, and the input target signal output by the first-stage operational amplifier module 10 is sampled and transmitted to C3. In the next cycle, P16 and P17 are turned off, P15 and P18 are turned on, and the signal stored on C3 is output to the buffer module 30 connected to the next stage, and the input target signal output by the first-stage operational amplifier module 10 is sampled and transmitted to C2. Through the periodic switch P15-P18, the low-frequency amount of the input target signal output by the first-stage operational amplifier module 10 is transferred to the buffer module 30 connected to the next stage, and the high-frequency component at the integer multiple of the preset switching frequency of the low-frequency signal output by the filter module 20 is effectively filtered out. Combined with the first-stage operational amplifier module 10 connected to the previous stage, the offset caused by operational amplifier mismatch can be effectively filtered out.
[0038] Among them, the output node of the first stage operational amplifier module 10 (i.e. Figure 2 The first end D of P14 and M14 is connected to the input node of the filter module 20 (ie Figure 2 The first stage operational amplifier module 10 needs to meet a certain voltage margin to work normally. By adding the buffer module 30 of the following embodiment, the voltage margin of the output end of the first stage operational amplifier module 10 can be increased. Figure 2As shown, the output end of the buffer module 30 adopts a source follower structure, that is, the first signal input end of the first-stage operational amplifier module 10 is connected to the second end S of P20 to access the second voltage signal Vinn output by the second end S of the fourteenth transistor P20. The output of the buffer module 30 is fed back to the first signal input end of the first-stage operational amplifier module 10 to access the second voltage signal Vinn, forming a unit gain amplifier, and the loop gain can be improved by the buffer module 30. When the sampled differential input signal changes, the common mode point of the target signal output by the first-stage operational amplifier module 10 is determined by P19, which is independent of the second voltage signal Vinn in the differential input signal, thereby ensuring the voltage margin of the output end of the first-stage operational amplifier module 10. The secondary point introduced by the cascaded buffer module 30 is compensated by the Miller capacitor, i.e., the second capacitor C2, and the zero adjustment resistor, i.e., the fifth resistor R4. That is, in the two-stage operational amplifier or buffer module 30, there are usually two low-frequency poles, one of which is the main pole and the other is the secondary point. Miller compensation technology changes the positions of these two poles by increasing the compensation capacitor, thereby improving the stability of the system. Specifically, Miller capacitance can move the main pole toward low frequency, while the secondary point may be pushed to a higher frequency. However, Miller compensation may also introduce a right half plane zero, which has an adverse effect on the stability of the system. In order to eliminate this adverse effect, a zero adjustment resistor, namely the fifth resistor R4, is usually added to move the right half plane zero to the left half plane by adjusting its resistance value, or eliminate it to optimize the zero position, so as to ensure the stability and performance of the entire system.
[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the input end of the second-stage operational amplifier module 40 (i.e., the control end of M17 and the control end of M18) is connected to the differential input signal, and the output end of the second-stage operational amplifier module 40 (i.e., the first end D of P24) is connected to the control end of the buffer module 30, i.e., the control end G of P20. The differential input signal is amplified by the second-stage operational amplifier module 40 and then superimposed with the target signal output by the first-stage operational amplifier module 10, thereby changing the signal phase of the differential input signal to the node Va. Since the switching capacitor of the filter module 20 will introduce additional phase shift, deteriorating the loop phase margin, the phase shift amount is related to the loop bandwidth GBW (Gain-Bandwidth Product, the gain-bandwidth product represents the product of the gain and bandwidth of the operational amplifier in an open-loop configuration, which determines the frequency range within which the operational amplifier can maintain a stable gain), thereby limiting the bandwidth of the first-stage operational amplifier module 10. Therefore, by adding the second-stage operational amplifier module 40, the compensation principle diagram Figure 3 As shown, a left zero point is generated by the second-stage operational amplifier module 40, the phase shift introduced by the filter module 20 is compensated, the phase of the high-frequency signal output by the output end of the filter module 20 is increased, and the loop phase margin is improved, thereby improving the overall bandwidth of the operational amplifier circuit and realizing a high-bandwidth, high-precision operational amplifier.
