Figure 2It is a first-stage transconductance amplifier of a traditional two-stage switched capacitor amplifier, wherein PMOS tubes M10, M11, M12, M13, M14, and M15 constitute the input stage of the first-stage transconductance amplifier, wherein PMOS tubes M10 and M11 are the input differential pair tubes of the first-stage transconductance amplifier, and the gates of PMOS tubes M10 and M11 are connected to input signals VP and VM respectively. PMOS tubes M12, M13, M14, and M15 constitute a common source and common gate structure. Among them, the gates of PMOS tubes M12 and M13 are connected to a fixed bias vb, and the drains are connected at the same time.

[0004] The disadvantages of the above-mentioned traditional amplifier structure are: 1. Each bias voltage of the amplifier is a fixed bias voltage, so that the bias current of the amplifier remains unchanged regardless of whether the amplifier is working in the reset state or the amplification state, and thus the power consumption does not change. In practical applications, when the amplifier is working in the amplification state, it is often necessary to establish a large signal, which requires a large current; when the amplifier is working in the reset state, it only needs to provide the correct operating point, and does not need to provide a large current. In the traditional structure, there is no distinction between the current when the amplifier is working in the reset state and the amplification state. Therefore, in order to meet the establishment time of the amplifier in the amplification state, a large power consumption will also be consumed in the reset state, resulting in a large power consumption of the amplifier. 2. Under the traditional amplifier structure, the gain of the amplifier in the reset phase and the amplification phase is the same. Since the amplifier has an offset voltage, the offset voltage needs to be eliminated, and the high gain will cause the amplifier to exit the saturation region during the offset storage phase, affecting the accuracy of the amplifier.
[0005] In view of this, a switched capacitor amplifier is urgently needed. Summary of the invention
[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the present application proposes a switched capacitor amplifier, which solves the problem in the prior art that the current of the amplifier is not regulated when it is working in the reset state and the amplification state, resulting in high power consumption of the amplifier and the gain of the amplifier cannot be changed in the reset and amplification states.

[0035] When the amplifier is working in the reset state, the amplifier stores the offset voltage, and the first-stage amplifier switches to a small output impedance mode and works in a small gain state, so that the transistor of the amplifier does not exit the saturation region while storing the offset voltage; when the amplifier is working in the amplification state, the output impedance of the first-stage amplifier switches to a large impedance mode and works in a large gain state to achieve the signal amplification function. The technology proposed in the present invention can switch the gain of the amplifier according to different working modes of the amplifier, changing the disadvantage of the traditional structure that the gain of the amplifier cannot be changed in the reset and amplification states;

The gate of the PMOS tube M6 is connected to the source of the PMOS tube M6, and the gate of the PMOS tube M6 is connected to the gate of the PMOS tube M3; the drain of the PMOS tube M6 is connected to the drain of the NMOS tube M2, the NMOS tube M2 is in the form of a diode connection, the source of the NMOS tube M2 is grounded, and the gate and drain bias voltages of the NMOS tube M2 are vn1; the gate of the NMOS tube M2 is connected to one end of the capacitor C4 through the switch k3, one end of the capacitor C3, and the switch k3n in sequence, and the other end of C3 is connected to the power supply vdd; the other end of the capacitor C4 is connected to one end of the switch k4 and the switch k4n at the same time, the other end of the switch k4n is connected to the power supply vdd, and the other end of the switch k4 is connected to the fixed bias voltage vn;
[0057] The invention also includes a PMOS tube M7, wherein the gate of the PMOS tube M7 is connected to the gate of the PMOS tube M6, the source of the PMOS tube M7 is connected to the drain of the PMOS tube M8, the source of the PMOS tube M8 is connected to the power supply vdd, the gate of the PMOS tube M8 is connected to the drain of the PMOS tube M7, the gate bias voltage of the PMOS tube M8 is vb1, the drain of the PMOS tube M7 is connected to the drain of the NMOS tube M47, the source of the NMOS tube M47 is grounded, and the gate of the NMOS tube M47 is connected to the gate of the NMOS tube M1; the gate of the PMOS tube M8 is connected to one end of the capacitor C2 through the switch k1, one end of the capacitor C1, and the switch k1n in sequence, and the other end of C1 is connected to the power supply vdd; the other end of the capacitor C2 is simultaneously connected to one end of the switch k2 and the switch k2n, the other end of the switch k2n is grounded, and the other end of the switch k2 is connected to the fixed bias voltage vb.
[0058] As an implementable solution:
[0059] like Figure 7 As shown, when the switched capacitor amplifier is in the reset phase, switches k1, k2, k3 and k4 are turned on, and switches k1n, k2n, k3n and k4n are turned off;
[0060] One end of capacitor C3 is charged to bias voltage vn1, and the other end is power supply voltage vdd. The other end of capacitor C4 is charged to bias voltage vn through turned-on switch k4, and one end is adjustable bias voltage vn2 of reset phase. Since vn2 is equal to vn1 in the previous state, vn2 is equal to vn1 at this time.
[0061] One end of capacitor C1 is charged to bias voltage vb1, and the other end is power supply voltage vdd. The other end of capacitor C2 is charged to bias voltage vb through the turned-on switch k2. Since vb2 is equal to vb1 in the previous state, at this time, the upper plate bias voltage vb2 is equal to vb1.

[0063] The other end of the capacitor C4 is charged to the power supply voltage vdd through the turned-on switch k4n. According to the charge conservation theorem, at this time vn2 = vn1 + C4 (vdd-vn) / (C3 + C4). Therefore, vn2 in the amplification phase is increased by C4 (vdd-vn) / (C3 + C4) compared with vn2 in the reset phase.
[0064] The other end of capacitor C2 is discharged to 0 through the turned-on switch k2n. According to the law of conservation of charge, at this time vb2=vb1-C2(vb2-vb) / (C1+C2). Therefore, vb2 in the amplification phase is lower than vb2 in the reset phase by C2(vb2-vb) / (C1+C2).

[0078] Further explanation:
[0079] The first gain stage of the first switched capacitor amplifier is a fully differential structure, the bias voltages vn and vn1 are fixed bias voltages of the NMOS tube, the bias voltage vn2 is a variable bias voltage of the NMOS tube. The bias voltage vb1 is a fixed bias voltage of the PMOS tube, and the bias voltage vb2 is an adjustable bias voltage of the PMOS tube.
[0080] Taking a single side as an example, the PMOS tubes M29 and M23 form a common source and common gate structure, and the NMOS tubes M17, M31, M32 and M33 also form a common source and common gate structure to provide high gain for the first gain stage. M34 and M35 form a negative resistance structure to further improve the gain of the first gain stage.
[0081] The NMOS tubes M18, M19, M48, M49 and M50 are switch tubes. When the amplifier is in a reset state, the signals controlling switches k1, k2, k3 and k4 are high level, the switches are in an on state, and the signals controlling switches k1n, k2n, k3n, k4n, k5n and k6n are low level, the switches are in an off state; when the amplifier is in an amplifying state, the signals controlling switches k1n, k2n, k3n, k4n, k5n and k6n are high level, the switches are in an on state, and the signals controlling switches k1, k2, k3 and k4 are low level, the switches are in an off state;
[0082] It is further explained that switches k1n, k2n, k3n, k4n, k5n and k6n may be one or more switches in an actual circuit and need to be controlled by the same set of signals and turned on or off at the same time, and the same is true for switches k1, k2, k3 and k4.
[0083] The working principle of the first-stage transconductance amplifier of the switched capacitor amplifier proposed by the present invention is further described in different states:
[0084] like Figure 8 As shown, the first-stage transconductance amplifier of the switched capacitor amplifier proposed by the present invention is in the reset state. At this time, since vb2=vb1, vn2=vn1, if the sizes of the four PMOS tubes M13, M14, M15 and M16 are the same, the current flowing through them is also the same, which can be set to I1. Since the reset state has a lower requirement on the amplifier establishment time and the required bias current is small, the working state of the amplifier only needs to provide a bias voltage that meets the requirements. Therefore, by controlling the bias circuit, vb2 and vn2 can be set to vb1 and vn1 respectively, so that the amplifier works in a smaller bias current state in the reset state, saving the power consumption of the amplifier. At the same time, since the NMOS tubes M31 and M38 are in a diode connection state, the output impedance of the amplifier is small, and the offset storage of the first-stage gain stage can be realized, so that the first-stage gain stage of the amplifier will not exit the saturation region while storing the offset voltage. When the amplifier is in the amplification state, since the amplifier needs to be established quickly, the control signal k1 is low and k1 n is high;
[0085] like Fig.11 As shown, in the first stage transconductance amplifier of the switch capacitor amplifier proposed by the present invention, at this time, since vb2 = vb1-C2 (vb2-vb) / (C1+C2), vn2 = vn1+C4 (vdd-vn) / (C3+C4), vb2 decreases and vn2 increases. Fig.10 It can be seen that the current flowing through the PMOS tubes M14 and M15 increases by ΔI1, and the current flowing through the PMOS tubes M24 and M26 increases by ΔI2. By increasing the current, the first-stage gain stage of the amplifier is quickly established in the amplification phase. At the same time, since the first-stage gain stage is connected to the NMOS tubes M17 and M20 in this state, the output impedance of the gain stage is increased, thereby improving the amplification factor of the first-stage gain stage and suppressing the influence of the offset voltage on the amplifier gain stage.
[0086] like Figure 6 As shown, the second-stage transconductance amplifier of the switched capacitor amplifier proposed in the present invention includes a differential input pair of NMOS tubes M39 and M40, the sources of the NMOS tubes M39 and M40 are connected and connected to one end of the resistor R at the same time, the other end of the resistor R is grounded, and the gates of the NMOS tubes M39 and M40 are connected to the signal vo1 and the signal vo2 respectively;
[0087] The drains of the NMOS tubes M39 and M40 are connected to the drains of the PMOS tubes M42 and M43 respectively, the sources of the PMOS tubes M42 and M43 are connected to the drains of the PMOS tubes M44 and M45 respectively, the sources of the PMOS tubes M44 and M45 are connected to the power supply voltage vdd; the gates of the PMOS tubes M44 and M45 are connected to the fixed bias voltage vb1, and the gates of the PMOS tubes M42 and M43 are connected to the adjustable bias voltage vb2;
[0088] It also includes an NMOS tube M41, the drain of which is connected to the drain of the NMOS tube M39 and the drain of the PMOS tube M42 at the same time, and the common end is used as the first differential signal output end of the second-stage transconductance amplifier to output a signal vop; the source of the NMOS tube M41 is connected to the drain of the NMOS tube M40 and the drain of the PMOS tube M43 at the same time, and the common end is used as the second differential signal output end of the second-stage transconductance amplifier to output a signal vom, and the gate of the NMOS tube M41 is connected to a switch K5, and the switch K5 and switches k1, k2, k3 and k4 are all controlled by the same signal.
[0089] The working principle of the second-stage transconductance amplifier of the switched capacitor amplifier proposed by the present invention is further described in different states:
[0090] like Fig. 9 As shown, the second-stage transconductance amplifier of the switched capacitor amplifier proposed in the present invention in the reset state:
[0091] When the amplifier is in the reset state, since the amplifier needs to quickly establish, at this time, since vb2=vb1, the current flowing through the PMOS tubes M44 and M45 is set to I3. Since the reset state has a lower requirement on the amplifier establishment time, the required bias current is small, and the working state of the amplifier only needs to provide a bias voltage that meets the requirements, so that the second gain stage of the amplifier operates in a smaller bias current state in the reset state, saving the power consumption of the amplifier.
[0092] like Fig.12 As shown, the second-stage transconductance amplifier in the amplifying state of the switched capacitor amplifier proposed by the present invention is:
[0093] When the amplifier is in the amplification state, since the amplifier needs to quickly establish, in the amplification state, vb2=vb1-C2(vb2-vb) / (C1+C2), thereby vb2 is reduced, and the current flowing through the PMOS tubes M44 and M45 increases by ΔI3. By increasing the current, the second stage of the amplifier can be quickly established in the amplification phase.
[0094] As an implementable solution, the amplifier proposed in the present invention is designed using 180nm CMOS technology. When the amplifier operates at 125MHz, ΔI1 / I1=5, ΔI2 / I2=8, ΔI3 / I3=4. The comparison of the current changes of the switched capacitor amplifier reset and amplification phase amplifier proposed in the present invention is shown in the figure below. Fig.13 As shown. From the above current change ratio, it can be seen that the current of the amplifier working in the reset phase is only 1 / 6 of the current of the amplifier working in the amplification phase. Compared with the traditional structure, the current of the amplifier working in the reset phase is different from the current of the amplification phase. The present invention reduces the power consumption of the amplifier by about 40%. At the same time, since the amplifier proposed in the present invention can provide a smaller gain in the reset phase to achieve offset storage, and provide a larger gain in the amplification phase to amplify the signal. Therefore, compared with the traditional structure, the amplifier proposed in the present invention can effectively suppress the offset voltage and improve the accuracy of the amplifier.
