Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of integrated circuits, and in particular relates to a thermal noise elimination high-speed pipeline successive approximation hybrid analog-to-digital converter. Background Art
[0002] Pipelined-SAR ADC (pipelined successive approximation hybrid analog-to-digital converter) is the mainstream architecture in the field of high-speed and high-precision ADC, but the thermal noise introduced by the sampling switch has always been a key factor limiting the performance improvement in this field. The average power of the sampling thermal noise is related to the size of the sampling capacitor. The larger the sampling capacitor, the smaller the average power of the thermal noise. However, due to the increase in the load of the sampling switch, its design difficulty also increases; the smaller the sampling capacitor, the lower the bandwidth requirement for the sampling switch, but the average power of the noise will increase.
[0003] The thermal noise elimination technology currently proposed for Pipelined-SAR ADC is based on the principle of sampling the signal through the bottom plate sampling technology, and using the first stage of the operational amplifier through a specific timing to store the thermal noise introduced by the sampling switch as an offset on the offset capacitor between the first and second stages of the operational amplifier. Due to the use of the offset storage technology, the amplification object of the multiplying digital-to-analog converter (MDAC) only contains the residual information but not the thermal noise introduced by the sampling switch.
[0004] The application of thermal noise elimination technology is inseparable from the bottom plate sampling technology, but this technology has two problems: the first problem is that the bottom plate sampling technology will be affected by the parasitic capacitance and feedback capacitance at the top plate of the sampling capacitor, causing the collected signal to attenuate in amplitude and lose part of the fundamental wave energy, resulting in a decrease in the effective number of bits and signal-to-noise ratio of the ADC; the second problem is that compared with the top plate sampling, the bottom plate sampling technology will undergo a signal flipping process and then quantization after the sampling is completed, and this flipping process takes up a certain time budget.

[0055] Embodiment 1
[0056] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a high-efficiency thermal noise elimination high-speed pipeline successive approximation hybrid analog-to-digital converter, and uses the bottom plate and top plate sampling technology at the same time to enable the ADC to quantize the MSB (highest bit) of the input signal during the signal flipping process, thereby reducing the time budget occupied; the input signal is sampled by the feedback capacitor in the MDAC to alleviate the signal amplitude attenuation problem; and a variable bandwidth fully differential ring amplifier is proposed to solve the compromise problem between bandwidth and power consumption. At the same time, due to the small capacitance of the sampling capacitor in this technology, the signal sampled by the bottom plate technology will be attenuated due to the influence of parasitic capacitance. In order to alleviate the amplitude attenuation phenomenon, the lower plate of the feedback capacitor in this patent is connected to the input signal when the sampling clock is at a high level and also participates in the sampling process. After the sampling is completed, in the quantization stage, the lower plate of the feedback capacitor is connected to VCM, thereby avoiding the amplitude attenuation problem.
[0057] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a module schematic diagram of a thermal noise elimination high-speed pipeline successive approximation hybrid analog-to-digital converter provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The analog-to-digital converter includes a first sampling branch and a second sampling branch, wherein the first sampling branch is a top plate sampling, which is used to quantize the MSB bit of the input sampling signal after the sampling clock signal CLKS becomes a low level for a predetermined time; the second sampling branch is a bottom plate sampling, which is used to directly quantize the MSB bit of the input sampling signal after the sampling clock signal becomes a low level, and the second sampling branch also quantizes the remaining bits of the sampling signal according to the quantization result of the first sampling branch after the first sampling branch completes the quantization of the MSB bit.
[0058] Specifically, the first sampling branch is for bottom plate sampling, and the second sampling branch is for top plate sampling. When the sampling clock signal becomes low level, the first sampling branch needs a certain time to start quantization, while the second sampling branch can quantize directly. Therefore, the second sampling branch directly quantizes the MSB bit of the sampled signal after the sampling clock signal becomes low level. When the first sampling branch completes the MSB bit quantization, the second sampling branch then completes the quantization of the remaining bits of the first-stage ADC according to the result of the first sampling branch.

[0073] The working principle of the analog-to-digital converter is:
[0074] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, initially, when the clock signals CLKS, CLKSE, and φ2 are at a high level, switches K1, K2, K6, K7, K15, K16, K3, K8, K19, and K20 are closed at the same time, and switches K4, K5, K9, K10, K11, and K12 are opened, and the signal is transmitted by the first sampling branch, the second sampling branch, and the feedback capacitor C F1 And the feedback capacitor C F2 When CLKSE changes from high level to low level, K19 and K20 are disconnected, and the noise information is stored in the capacitor array C S1N and capacitor array C S1P At this time, the operational amplifier A1 amplifies the noise signal and stores it in the offset capacitor C N1 and offset capacitor C N2 At this time, since the MOS tubes M3 and M11 are in the on state, a large current flows through the first stage of the operational amplifier (operational amplifier A1), and the operational amplifier A1 is in a large bandwidth working mode, which accelerates the sampling and amplification of the noise. When the storage of the noise is completed and the clock φ2 becomes a low level, the MOS tubes M3 and M11 are in the off state, a small current flows through the first stage of the operational amplifier, and the operational amplifier works in a small bandwidth mode to reduce the power consumption of the operational amplifier.
[0075] When the clock signal CLKS becomes a low level, switches K1, K2, K15, K16, K3, K6, K7, and K8 are disconnected. In the traditional thermal noise elimination structure, bottom plate sampling is adopted. Since bottom plate sampling needs a certain time to complete the voltage flipping after the sampling clock signal CLKS becomes a low level before quantization can be started, the voltage flipping process occupies a certain time budget. In order to overcome this problem, the analog-to-digital converter of the present invention adopts two-way sampling, including a first sampling branch and a second sampling branch. The added second sampling branch is top plate sampling. When the first sampling branch (bottom plate sampling branch) is still in the flipping process, the second sampling branch (top plate sampling branch) first performs the quantization of the MSB bit, making full use of the flipping time. Then, after the first sampling branch completes the flipping, quantization is continued.
[0076] Compared with the traditional architecture, the architecture of the present invention can save the time budget of one quantization. The quantization process is as follows: after the clock signal CLKS becomes low level, the comparator COM2 first completes the quantization of the MSB bit of the input sampling signal, and the quantized result is written into the first register of the logic control module, and then the capacitor array C is changed. S1N and capacitor array C S1P The voltage on the capacitor array changes accordingly, and this voltage difference is then compared by the comparator COM1. The comparison result of the comparator COM1 is written into the second register of the logic control module, and the capacitor array C continues to change. S1N and capacitor array C S1P The potential of the lower plate of the corresponding capacitor is connected, and the cycle repeats until the comparator COM1 completes the quantization of all bits. At the same time, when the sampling clock signal CLKS becomes low, the clock φ1 becomes high, and the switches K4 and K9 are closed, and the feedback capacitor C F1 and feedback capacitor C F2 The lower board is connected to the common mode voltage V CM When the quantization stage is over, clock φ1 becomes low level and clock φ2 becomes high level. At this time, switches K5, K10, K11, and K12 are closed, and operational amplifier A1 and operational amplifier A 2,3 The residual information is amplified and transmitted to the back-end ADC.
[0077] As mentioned above, in the traditional thermal noise elimination technology, after sampling, a signal flipping process will be experienced before quantization. In order to make full use of the time of the signal flipping process, the present invention adds a second sampling branch, which obtains the input signal at time ts through bottom plate sampling, and quantizes the MSB bit of the input signal after sampling. Since the second sampling branch only quantizes the MSB bit of the sampled signal, the capacitor array C S2N and capacitor array C S2PThe total capacitance value of can be appropriately small. Although the increase of sampling noise may cause MSB bit comparison error, this error can be eliminated by the inter-stage redundancy design. S1N and capacitor array C S1P After completing the signal flipping step, the second sampling branch has completed the quantization of the MSB bit, so the first sampling branch can directly quantize the second bit using the quantization result of the MSB bit of the second sampling branch, thereby reducing time waste.
[0078] Furthermore, assuming that the feedback capacitor C F1 and feedback capacitor C F2 Does not participate in the sampling process, because the capacitor array C S1N and capacitor array C S1P There are feedback capacitors and parasitic capacitors at the upper plate, with the first differential input terminal V IP Taking the input signal as an example, the signal amplitude actually sampled by the analog-to-digital converter is:
[0079]
[0080] Among them, C PP represents the parasitic capacitance of the first differential input terminal.
[0081] It can be seen that the amplitude of the signal has been attenuated, resulting in the loss of fundamental wave energy. In order to alleviate the above phenomenon, Figure 2 The circuit shown and Figure 3 As shown in the timing, when the clock signal CLKS is high, the input signal is connected to the capacitor array C S1N and capacitor array C S1P In addition to the lower plate, a feedback capacitor C is also connected F1 and feedback capacitor C F2 When Φ1 is high, the capacitor array C S1N and capacitor array C S1P The lower plate of the common mode voltage V CM , with the first differential input terminal V IP The input signal, the sampled signal amplitude is:
[0082]
[0083] It can be seen that the feedback capacitor C F1 and feedback capacitor C F2 After adding the sampling operation, the attenuation problem of the input signal amplitude is alleviated and the loss of fundamental wave energy is reduced.
[0084] In addition, in order to solve the compromise between bandwidth and power consumption in traditional thermal noise elimination technology, the present invention proposes a fully differential variable bandwidth ring amplifier. Variable bandwidth technology is used at the first stage of the operational amplifier, and the bandwidth is changed by adjusting the current of the first stage of the operational amplifier at different times to cope with different working scenarios, thereby achieving high energy efficiency.
[0085] correspond Figure 4 In the timing of the upper right corner, in the △t (t1~t3) time period, the bandwidth of the first stage of the op amp is adjustable. In the △t1 (t1~t2) time period, Φ2 is at a high level, at this time M3 and M4 are turned on, the current flowing through the first stage of the op amp is a large current, the bandwidth of the first stage of the op amp increases, and its establishment of sampling thermal noise is accelerated; in the △t2 (t2~t3) time period, Φ2 drops to a low level, so that M3 and M4 are turned off, the current flowing through the first stage of the op amp is a small current, and the bandwidth of the first stage of the op amp is reduced to meet the bandwidth requirements in the residual amplification process, thereby improving the energy efficiency ratio of the circuit.
[0086] In the time period of △t (t1~t3) w p is a time-varying function (in the design w p1 Greater than w p2 )
[0087] w p =w p1 (t∈Δt1)
[0088] w p =w p2 (t∈Δt2)
[0089] Among them, w p The general notation for the bandwidth of operational amplifier A1, w p1 represents the bandwidth in the time period Δt1, w p2 It represents the bandwidth in the time period of Δt2.
[0090] Then the equivalent bandwidth of the first stage of the op amp during the entire △t time can be expressed as the following formula.
[0091]
[0092] Comparing the variable bandwidth to the constant bandwidth, the ratio of the equivalent input thermal noise power is:
[0093]
[0094] in, It represents the thermal noise power equivalent to the residual at the input end under variable bandwidth. It represents the thermal noise power equivalent to the residual at the input end under the condition of constant bandwidth.
[0095] It can be seen from the above formula that the average power of the sampled thermal noise can be significantly reduced by simply increasing the bandwidth of the first stage of the operational amplifier within the time period △t1 (t1~t2), while making the first stage of the operational amplifier have a high energy efficiency ratio.
[0096] The present invention proposes a high-energy-efficiency thermal noise elimination high-speed pipeline successive approximation hybrid analog-to-digital converter, comprising a first sampling branch and a second sampling branch, wherein the first sampling branch is a top plate sampling, used for quantizing the MSB bit of the input sampling signal after the sampling clock signal becomes a low level for a predetermined time; the second sampling branch is a bottom plate sampling, used for directly quantizing the MSB bit of the input sampling signal after the sampling clock signal becomes a low level, and the second sampling branch is also used for quantizing the remaining bits of the sampling signal according to the quantization result of the first sampling branch after the first sampling branch completes the MSB bit quantization. By combining the top plate and bottom plate sampling technologies, one bit of quantization time budget is saved, so that the time allocated to the margin amplification is increased, the linearity of the system is improved, and the amplitude attenuation problem and the insufficient time utilization problem caused by the bottom plate technology are solved.
[0097] The present invention uses variable bandwidth technology to change the bandwidth of the first-stage operational amplifier (i.e., operational amplifier A1) according to its functional requirements, which can greatly improve the signal-to-noise ratio under the premise of slightly increasing power consumption, and solve the trade-off problem between the average power of residual thermal noise and power consumption. The present invention allows the feedback capacitor to participate in the sampling process, which reduces the amplitude attenuation problem caused by bottom plate sampling and effectively improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the system.
