Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of electronic devices, and in particular relates to a frequency and phase detector with SET resistance reinforcement. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of aerospace and other applications, more and more electronic systems need to work in radiation environments. As a clock generation and synchronization circuit, phase locked loop (PLL) is widely used in electronic systems. PLL exposed to radiation environment will produce phase deviation and frequency deviation under SET events, and in severe cases will cause oscillation termination. SET has become the most important radiation effect threatening PLL. The reliability problem caused by SET effect makes PLL a weak link in the anti-radiation reinforcement of electronic systems. Phase frequency detector (PFD) is an important module in the phase locked loop. PFD obtains the corresponding phase difference relationship by performing phase detection on two clock or data signals. According to the different input signals, it can be divided into two categories, one is PFD used for periodic signal calibration, and the other is PFD based on pseudo-random digital code signal calibration. NAND gate PFD is often used for periodic signal calibration, and the PFD circuit used for pseudo-random digital code calibration is more complex, which is divided into linear phase detector and nonlinear phase detector. Among them, the common linear phase detectors are Hogge phase detectors, and the nonlinear phase detectors are Alexander phase detectors. SET injection will change the output logic state of the PFD, causing the subsequent circuit to obtain an erroneous phase difference indication signal, causing the entire PLL circuit to work abnormally. PFD anti-SET reinforcement is an important design link to improve the PLL's anti-SET capability.

The inputs of the CLK input terminals of the thirteenth D flip-flop 137 and the sixteenth D flip-flop 136 are both the output UP signal of the first D flip-flop 101; the D input terminal of the thirteenth D flip-flop 137 is connected to VDD, and the Q output terminal of the fourteenth D flip-flop 138 serves as the D input terminal of the fifteenth D flip-flop 135; the D input terminal of the fifteenth D flip-flop 135 is connected to VDD, and the Q output terminal of the fifteenth D flip-flop 135 is connected to the D input terminal of the sixteenth D flip-flop 136; the Q output terminal of the fourteenth D flip-flop 138 is connected to the third input terminal of the four-input OR gate 139, and the Q output terminal of the sixteenth D flip-flop 136 is connected to the fourth input terminal of the four-input OR gate 139; the four-input AND-OR gate 139 outputs a second conduction control signal CK2.

[0063] The phase frequency detector control CP unit includes:

[0064] The first-stage PFD unit controls the first CP unit CP1 and the second CP unit CP2; the second-stage PFD unit controls the third CP unit CP3;

[0065] The two inputs of the first CP unit are a first indication signal UP1 and a first indication signal DOWN1;

[0066] The two inputs of the second CP unit are a second indication signal UP2 and a second indication signal DOWN2;

[0067] The two inputs of the third CP unit are a third indication signal UP3 and a third indication signal DOWN3;

[0068] The outputs of the first CP unit CP1, the second CP unit CP2, and the third CP unit CP3 are all connected to the control end of the subsequent stage VCO; when the first conduction control signal CK1 is high, the output ends of the first CP unit CP1 and the second CP unit CP2 are all pulled to VDD and disconnected from the VCO control end; when the second conduction control signal CK2 is high, the output ends of the first CP unit CP1, the second CP unit CP2, and the third CP unit CP3 are all pulled to VDD and disconnected from the control end of the subsequent stage VCO.

[0069] In this embodiment, the phase frequency detector control CP unit includes:

[0070] The first-stage PFD unit realizes that only one of the first indication signal UP1, the first indication signal DOWN1 or the second indication signal UP2, the second indication signal DOWN2 is flipped on in each cycle, and the other is turned off; therefore, the first CP unit and the second CP unit controlled by the first-stage phase detector work periodically alternately.

[0071] When the first indication signal UP1 and the second indication signal UP2 input to the first CP unit and the second CP unit are both high or the first indication DOWN1 and the second indication signal DOWN2 are both high, it means that the two CP units are turned on at the same time. At this time, the CP is disturbed by SET, the CP works abnormally, the first conduction control signal CK1 is turned on, and the output levels of the two CP units are pulled to VDD, which are disconnected from the control end of the subsequent VCO.

[0072] The second output control logic counts the DOWN signal in each high-frequency clock cycle and counts the UP signal in each low-frequency clock cycle. When the signal of the high-frequency clock cycle reaches 2 or the UP signal of the low-frequency clock cycle reaches 2, it is considered that SET interference has occurred. At this time, the second conduction control CK2 signal is pulled high, and the outputs of the first CP unit CP1, the second CP unit CP2, and the third CP unit CP3 are pulled to VDD and disconnected from the control end of the subsequent VCO.

[0073] Figure 5 This is the output simulation diagram of the first-stage PFD unit of the present invention. The phase of the reference clock signal CLK1 is ahead of the phase of the feedback clock signal CLK2. The intermediate logic outputs a DOWN pulse signal. After the input control logic, the first indication signal DOWN1 and the second indication signal DOWN2 pulse indication signals are output alternately. The subsequent first CP unit CP1 and the subsequent second CP unit CP2 work alternately.

[0074] Figure 6 The output simulation diagram of the second-stage frequency and phase detector unit of the present invention is shown in FIG. The phase of the reference clock signal CLK1 is ahead of the phase of the feedback clock signal CLK2, the third indication signal DOWN3 is a high pulse indication signal, and the third indication signal UP3 is low.

[0075] The present invention adopts the SET reinforcement method of the first output control logic to act on the first-level PFD unit. Figure 7 The figure shows the simulation diagram of the first output control logic. At 35ns, a SET interference signal with an energy value of 60MeV is injected into the path of the first indication signal DOWN1. At this time, the first indication signal DOWN1 and the second indication signal DOWN2 are both high. The first output control logic outputs a high pulse turn-on control signal at CK1. The high pulse indication signal CK1 is set to 0 after the DOWN2 pulse ends, and the subsequent CP1 and CP2 circuits resume working.

[0076] The present invention adopts a SET reinforcement method controlled by a second output logic to act on the first-stage and second-stage PFD units. Figure 8 The figure shows the simulation diagram of the second output control logic. At 55ns, a SET interference signal with an energy value of 60MeV is injected into the DOWN signal path. Then, two DOWN pulse indication signals appear in the counting cycle, and the CK2 indication signal output is high. The output levels of the first CP unit CP1, the second CP unit CP2, and the third CP unit CP3 are pulled up and disconnected from the control end of the subsequent VCO. The conduction indication signal CK2 is reset to 0 after the counting cycle ends, and the circuit resumes normal operation.
