Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of analog or mixed analog and digital integrated circuits, and in particular to a switched capacitor amplifier. Background Art

[0002] As an important module of analog circuits, amplifiers are widely used in various analog integrated circuits and mixed analog and digital integrated circuits. Among them, switched capacitor amplifiers are an important application of amplifiers.

[0003] The two-stage switched capacitor amplifier traditionally used in switched capacitor circuits includes a bias circuit, a first-stage transconductance amplifier, and a second-stage transconductance amplifier. Figure 1 This is the bias circuit for a traditional two-stage switched capacitor amplifier. A constant current source IB is injected into the drain of NMOS transistor M0. NMOS transistor M0 is diode-connected. The gate of NMOS transistor M0 is connected to the gate of NMOS transistor M1. The sources of NMOS transistors M0 and M1 are both grounded. The drain of NMOS transistor M1 is connected to the drain of PMOS transistor M3. The source of PMOS transistor M3 is connected to the drain of PMOS transistor M4. Both PMOS transistors M3 and PMOS transistors M4 are diode-connected. The source of PMOS transistor M4 is connected to power supply Vdd. The gate of PMOS transistor M5 is connected to the gate of PMOS transistor M4. The source of PMOS transistor M5 is connected to power supply Vdd. The drain of PMOS transistor M5 is connected to the source of PMOS transistor M6. The gate of PMOS transistor M6 is connected to the gate of PMOS transistor M3. The drain of PMOS transistor M6 is connected to the drain of NMOS transistor M2. NMOS transistor M2 is diode-connected, its source is grounded, and its gate and drain bias voltage is vn1. The gate of PMOS transistor M7 is connected to the gate of PMOS transistor M6. The source of PMOS transistor M7 is connected to the drain of PMOS transistor M8. The source of PMOS transistor M8 is connected to the power supply vdd. The gate of PMOS transistor M8 is connected to the drain of PMOS transistor M7. The gate bias voltage of PMOS transistor M8 is vb1. The drain of PMOS transistor M7 is connected to the drain of NMOS transistor M9. The source of NMOS transistor M9 is grounded, and the gate of NMOS transistor M9 is connected to the gate of NMOS transistor M1. Vn1, vb, and vb1 provide fixed bias voltages for the gain stage of the switched capacitor amplifier. Figure 2This is the first-stage transconductance amplifier of a traditional two-stage switched capacitor amplifier. PMOS transistors M10, M11, M12, M13, M14, and M15 form the input stage of the first-stage transconductance amplifier. PMOS transistors M10 and M11 form the input differential pair of transistors, with the gates of PMOS transistors M10 and M11 connected to input signals VP and VM, respectively. PMOS transistors M12, M13, M14, and M15 form a cascode structure. The gates of PMOS transistors M12 and M13 are connected to a fixed bias voltage vb, while their drains are also connected. The gates of PMOS transistors M14 and M15 are connected to a fixed bias voltage vb1, with bias voltages vb and vb1 being fixed bias voltages. The NMOS transistors M16, M17, M18, M19, M20, M21, M22, M23, M24, M25 and M39 and the PMOS transistors M26, M27, M28, M29, M30 and M31 constitute a first gain stage of a first transconductance amplifier. Among them, the PMOS transistors M26, M27, M28, M29, M30 and M31 constitute a gain bootstrap structure, and the NMOS transistors M16, M17, M18, M19, M20, M21, M22, M23, M24, M25 and M39 constitute a negative resistance structure. The function of the above structures is to increase the output impedance of the first gain stage. Figure 3 This is the second-stage transconductance amplifier of a traditional two-stage switched capacitor amplifier. NMOS transistors M32 and M33 form the input differential pair of the second-stage transconductance amplifier. The gates of NMOS transistors M32 and M33 are connected to the output signals vo1 and vo2 of the first-stage transconductance amplifier, respectively. PMOS transistors M34, M35, M36, and M37 are load transistors, providing the first-stage gain of the first-stage transconductance amplifier. vb1 and vb are fixed bias voltages.

[0004] The disadvantages of the above-mentioned traditional amplifier structure are: 1. The various bias voltages of the amplifier are fixed bias voltages, so that the bias current of the amplifier remains unchanged regardless of whether the amplifier is operating in the reset state or the amplification state, and thus the power consumption does not change. In practical applications, when the amplifier is operating in the amplification state, it often needs to establish a large signal, which requires a large current; when the amplifier is operating in the reset state, it only needs to provide the correct operating point, and does not need to provide a large current. However, in the traditional structure, there is no distinction between the current when the amplifier is operating in the reset state and the amplification state. Therefore, in order to meet the amplifier's establishment time in the amplification state, a large power consumption is also consumed in the reset state, resulting in high power consumption of the amplifier. 2. In the traditional amplifier structure, the amplifier has the same gain in the reset phase and the amplification phase. Since the amplifier has an offset voltage, the offset voltage needs to be eliminated. However, high gain can cause the amplifier to exit the saturation region during the offset storage phase, affecting the amplifier's accuracy.

[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 adjusted when it is working in the reset state and the amplification state, resulting in high power consumption of the amplifier and the inability to change the gain of the amplifier in the reset and amplification states.

The source of the PMOS transistor M6 is connected, and the gate of the PMOS transistor M6 is connected to the gate of the PMOS transistor M3; the drain of the PMOS transistor M6 is connected to the drain of the NMOS transistor M2, and the NMOS transistor M2 is in a diode connection form. The source of the NMOS transistor M2 is grounded, and the gate and drain bias voltage of the NMOS transistor M2 is vn1; the gate of the NMOS transistor 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 the capacitor C3 is connected to the power supply vdd; the other end of the capacitor C4 is connected to one end of both the switch k4 and the switch k4n, 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;

[0010] The device further includes a PMOS transistor M7, wherein the gate of the PMOS transistor M7 is connected to the gate of the PMOS transistor M6, the source of the PMOS transistor M7 is connected to the drain of the PMOS transistor M8, the source of the PMOS transistor M8 is connected to the power supply vdd, the gate of the PMOS transistor M8 is connected to the drain of the PMOS transistor M7, the gate bias voltage of the PMOS transistor M8 is vb1, the drain of the PMOS transistor M7 is connected to the drain of the NMOS transistor M47, the source of the NMOS transistor M47 is grounded, and the gate of the NMOS transistor M47 is connected to the gate of the NMOS transistor M1; the gate of the PMOS transistor M8 is connected to one end of the capacitor C2 via a switch k1, one end of the capacitor C1, and a switch k1n in sequence, the other end of C1 is connected to the power supply vdd; the other end of the capacitor C2 is connected to one end of both 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 a fixed bias voltage vb.

[0011] As an optional technical solution, 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;

According to the law of conservation of charge, at this time vn2 = vn1 + C4 (vdd - vn) / (C3 + C4). Therefore, vn2 in the amplification phase is higher than vn2 in the reset phase by C4 (vdd - vn) / (C3 + C4).

[0016] 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).

[0034] When the amplifier is operating in the amplification state, a large current is required to enable the amplifier to quickly establish itself.

The technology proposed in this invention can reduce the current to a set value, thereby minimizing the power consumption of the amplifier. This changes the disadvantage of the traditional structure that does not adjust the current when the amplifier is operating in the reset state and the amplification state, resulting in high power consumption of the amplifier.

[0035] When the amplifier is operating in the reset state, the amplifier stores the offset voltage, and the first-stage amplifier switches to a low output impedance mode, operating in a low gain state. This allows the offset voltage to be stored while the amplifier's transistors remain in the saturation region. When the amplifier is operating in the amplification state, the first-stage amplifier output impedance switches to a high impedance mode, operating in a high gain state, achieving signal amplification. The technology proposed in this invention can switch the amplifier gain according to the different operating modes of the amplifier, overcoming the disadvantage of conventional structures where the amplifier gain cannot be changed in the reset and amplification states.

[0062] On the contrary, if Figure 10 As shown, when the switched capacitor amplifier is in the amplifying phase, switches k1n, k2n, k3n and k4n are turned on, and switches k1, k2, k3 and k4 are turned off;

[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 law of conservation of charge, at this time vn2 = vn1 + C4 (vdd - vn) / (C3 + C4). Therefore, vn2 in the amplification phase is higher than vn2 in the reset phase by C4 (vdd - vn) / (C3 + C4).

[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 popular explanation:

[0079] The first-stage gain stage of the first-stage switched capacitor amplifier is a fully differential structure. Bias voltages vn and vn1 are fixed bias voltages for the NMOS transistor, while bias voltage vn2 is a variable bias voltage for the NMOS transistor. Bias voltage vb1 is a fixed bias voltage for the PMOS transistor, while bias voltage vb2 is an adjustable bias voltage for the PMOS transistor.

[0080] Taking a single side as an example, the PMOS transistors M29 and M23 form a cascode structure. The NMOS transistors M17, M31, M32, and M33 also form a cascode 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 transistors M18, M19, M48, M49 and M50 are switching transistors. When the amplifier is in the reset state, the signals controlling switches k1, k2, k3 and k4 are high, and the switches are in the on state; the signals controlling switches k1n, k2n, k3n, k4n, k5n and k6n are low, and the switches are in the off state; when the amplifier is in the amplification state, the signals controlling switches k1n, k2n, k3n, k4n, k5n and k6n are high, and the switches are in the on state; the signals controlling switches k1, k2, k3 and k4 are low, and the switches are in the 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. The same applies to 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 explained in different states:

[0084] like Figure 8 As shown, in the first-stage transconductance amplifier of the switched capacitor amplifier proposed by the present invention, in the reset state, since vb2 = vb1 and vn2 = vn1, if the four PMOS transistors M13, M14, M15, and M16 are of the same size, the current flowing through them is also the same and can be set to I1. Since the reset state has a lower requirement for the amplifier's settling time and requires a smaller bias current, the amplifier's operating state only needs to provide a bias voltage that meets the requirement. Therefore, by controlling the bias circuit, vb2 and vn2 can be set to vb1 and vn1, respectively, so that the amplifier operates in a smaller bias current state in the reset state, saving the amplifier's power consumption. At the same time, since the NMOS transistors M31 and M38 are in a diode connection state, the amplifier's output impedance is small, enabling offset storage of the first-stage gain stage, 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 quickly settle, the control signal k1 is low and k1n is high.

[0085] like Figure 11 As shown, in the first stage transconductance amplifier of the switched 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. Figure 10 As can be seen, the current flowing through PMOS transistors M14 and M15 increases by ΔI1, while the current flowing through PMOS transistors M24 and M26 increases by ΔI2. This increase in current allows the amplifier's first-stage gain stage to quickly establish during the amplification phase. Furthermore, since the first-stage gain stage is connected to NMOS transistors M17 and M20 in this state, the output impedance of the gain stage is increased, thereby boosting the amplification factor of the first-stage gain stage and suppressing the impact of offset voltage on the amplifier's 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 transistors M39 and M40. The sources of the NMOS transistors M39 and M40 are connected and connected to one end of the resistor R. The other end of the resistor R is grounded. The gates of the NMOS transistors M39 and M40 are connected to the signal vo1 and the signal vo2, respectively.

[0087] The drains of the NMOS transistors M39 and M40 are connected to the drains of the PMOS transistors M42 and M43 respectively, the sources of the PMOS transistors M42 and M43 are connected to the drains of the PMOS transistors M44 and M45 respectively, and the sources of the PMOS transistors M44 and M45 are connected to the power supply voltage vdd; the gates of the PMOS transistors M44 and M45 are connected to the fixed bias voltage vb1, and the gates of the PMOS transistors M42 and M43 are connected to the adjustable bias voltage vb2;

[0088] The circuit further includes an NMOS transistor M41. The drain of the NMOS transistor M41 is connected to the drain of the NMOS transistor M39 and the drain of the PMOS transistor M42, and the common terminal serves as the first differential signal output terminal of the second-stage transconductance amplifier, outputting a signal vop. The source of the NMOS transistor M41 is connected to the drain of the NMOS transistor M40 and the drain of the PMOS transistor M43, and the common terminal serves as the second differential signal output terminal of the second-stage transconductance amplifier, outputting a signal vom. The gate of the NMOS transistor M41 is connected to a switch K5. 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 explained in different states:

[0090] like Figure 9 As shown, the second-stage transconductance amplifier of the switched capacitor amplifier proposed by the present invention in the reset state:

[0091] When the amplifier is in the reset state, 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 for the amplifier establishment time, the required bias current is small. The working state of the amplifier only needs to provide a bias voltage that meets the requirement, so that the second-stage 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 Figure 12 As shown, the second-stage transconductance amplifier of the switched capacitor amplifier proposed in the present invention is in the amplifying state:

[0093] When the amplifier is in the amplification state, since the amplifier needs to quickly settle, in the amplification state, vb2 = vb1-C2(vb2-vb) / (C1+C2), thereby reducing vb2 and increasing the current flowing through the PMOS tubes M44 and M45 by ΔI3. By increasing the current, the second stage of the amplifier can quickly settle 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 reset and amplification phases of the switched capacitor amplifier proposed in the present invention is shown in the figure below. Figure 13 As shown in the figure. The above current change ratio shows that the current drawn by the amplifier in the reset phase is only 1 / 6 of the current drawn by the amplifier in the amplification phase. Compared to conventional structures, where the current drawn by the amplifier in the reset phase differs from the current drawn by the amplification phase, the present invention reduces the amplifier's power consumption by approximately 40%. Furthermore, because the amplifier proposed in the present invention can provide a smaller gain in the reset phase, enabling offset storage, and a larger gain in the amplification phase, enabling signal amplification, compared to conventional structures, the amplifier proposed in the present invention can effectively suppress offset voltage and improve amplifier precision.
