[0015] It should be noted that the reference to "embodiment" in this article means that the specific features, structures or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The presentation of this phrase at various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments. The term "and / or" used in the specification and appended claims of the present invention refers to any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes these combinations.
[0016] The following will describe the implementation of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiment diagram of the present invention.
[0017] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a high-precision dynamic comparator with an offset voltage automatic calibration circuit is provided, including a signal sampling circuit 11, a preamplifier 13 and a dynamic latch 15. The signal sampling circuit 11 is based on a gate voltage bootstrap circuit BTSP and is designed using substrate voltage bias technology. The dynamic latch 15 includes a latch LAT, an offset voltage automatic calibration circuit ACC and a dynamic comparator. The sampling input end of the signal sampling circuit 11 is used to access the input signal to be sampled and the reference signal, the output end of the signal sampling circuit 11 is connected to the input end of the preamplifier 13, the output end of the preamplifier 13 is connected to the input end of the dynamic comparator, the output end of the dynamic comparator is respectively connected to the input end of the latch LAT and the input end of the offset voltage automatic calibration circuit ACC, and the output end of the offset voltage automatic calibration circuit ACC is connected to the calibration input end of the dynamic comparator. The signal sampling circuit 11 is used to sample the input signal and the reference signal. The preamplifier 13 is used to preamplify the sampled output of the signal sampling circuit 11, and the offset voltage automatic calibration circuit ACC is used to adaptively reduce the offset voltage of the dynamic comparator according to the process error in the manufacturing process. The dynamic comparator is used for data comparison, and the latch LAT is used for controlling whether the output signal of the dynamic comparator changes with the change of the input signal.
[0018] It can be understood that the signal sampling circuit 11 in this embodiment is mainly used to sample and output various input signals (such as the common ground voltage signal VSS, the input signal VSIG and the common mode voltage signal VCM in the art) and reference signals (such as the reference voltage VREF and the reference signal VREFN in the art). It adopts the gate voltage bootstrap circuit BTSP to perform sampling control and the substrate voltage bias technology, so that the sampling switch in the signal sampling circuit 11 has a smaller resistance when it is turned on and a larger resistance when it is turned off. For this purpose, those skilled in the art can use MOS transistor devices with inverters and gate voltage bootstrap circuits BTSP to design and obtain the required signal sampling circuit 11. There can be many specific circuit structures as long as they can be used to provide the required functions.
[0019] The preamplifier 13 can adopt the structural design of the switched capacitor preamplifier 13 to achieve accurate amplification of the sampled output. The dynamic latch 15 is designed with a latch LAT, an offset voltage automatic calibration circuit ACC and a dynamic comparator. The dynamic comparator reset and comparison are controlled by the input signal CLK (clock). However, before the data comparison is performed, the offset voltage automatic calibration circuit ACC provides the same input voltage to the core transistors in the dynamic comparator, and then adaptively reduces the dynamic comparator offset voltage caused by the process error in the manufacturing process according to the comparison result. Finally, the latch LAT controls whether the output signal of the dynamic comparator changes with the input signal.
[0020] The high-precision dynamic comparator with automatic offset voltage calibration circuit adopts a switched capacitor preamplifier 13, so that when the comparator is applied to the FLASH ADC, the DC parameters will not be different due to the difference in common mode voltage, thereby reducing the offset voltage between different comparators; and the substrate voltage bias technology is adopted, so that the resistance of the sampling switch is smaller when it is turned on and larger when it is turned off. The offset voltage automatic calibration circuit ACC is adopted so that the circuit can adjust the offset voltage adaptively according to the process error in the manufacturing process. Compared with the traditional comparator, the design form of the switched capacitor comparator is adopted, so that the comparator input signal is near the common mode voltage VCM, ensuring that each comparator will not have an offset voltage error caused by different DC parameters due to different common mode voltages, and the offset voltage automatic calibration circuit ACC is adopted to make the offset voltage of the comparator smaller.
[0021] In one embodiment, Figure 2As shown, the signal sampling circuit 11 includes an inverter INV0, an inverter INV1, an inverter INV2, an inverter INV3, an inverter INV4, an inverter INV5, a gate voltage bootstrap circuit BTSP, a transistor NMOS0, a transistor NMOS1, a transistor NMOS2, a transistor NMOS3, a transistor NMOS4, a transistor NMOS5, a transistor NMOS6, a transistor NMOS7, a transistor PMOS0, a capacitor C0 and a capacitor C1. The PHI terminal of the gate voltage bootstrap circuit BTSP is used to access the control signal VSAMP through the inverter INV0, the PHIB terminal of the gate voltage bootstrap circuit BTSP is used to access the control signal VSAMP, the VIN terminal of the gate voltage bootstrap circuit BTSP is used to access the input signal VSIG, and the OUT terminal of the gate voltage bootstrap circuit BTSP is connected to the gate of the transistor NMOS0 and the gate of the transistor NMOS1 respectively.
[0022] The drain of transistor NMOS0 is connected to the drain of transistor NMOS1 and is used to access the input signal VSIG, the substrate of transistor NMOS0 is respectively connected to the source of transistor NMOS1 and the drain of transistor NMOS2, the source of transistor NMOS0 is connected to one end of capacitor C0, the gate of transistor NMOS2 is used to access the control signal VSAMP, the source of transistor NMOS2 is grounded, the drain of transistor NMOS3 is connected to the drain of transistor PMOS0 and is used to access the reference signal VREF, the source of transistor NMOS3 is connected to the source of transistor PMOS0 and connected to one end of capacitor C0, the other end of capacitor C0 is connected to the first input end of the preamplifier 13, the inverter INV1, the inverter INV2 and the inverter INV3 are connected in series in sequence, the input end of inverter INV1 is used to access the input signal PHIB, the output end of inverter INV3 is connected to the gate of transistor PMOS0, and the gate of transistor NMOS3 is connected to the output end of inverter INV2.
[0023] Inverter INV4 and inverter INV5 are connected in series, the input end of inverter INV4 is used to access the input signal NCON2, the output end of inverter INV5 is connected to the gate of transistor NMOS5, the drain of transistor NMOS4 and the drain of transistor NMOS5 are both connected to one end of capacitor C1, the drain of transistor NMOS6 is connected to the other end of capacitor C1, the other end of capacitor C1 is connected to the second input end of preamplifier 13, the gate of transistor NMOS4 is connected to the output end of inverter INV0, the source of transistor NMOS4 is used to access the signal VSS, the source of transistor NMOS5 is used to access the reference signal VREFN, the gate of transistor NMOS6 is used to access the input signal PHIB, the substrate of transistor NMOS6 is used to access the signal VSS, the source of transistor NMOS6 and the source of transistor NMOS7 are both used to access the signal VCM, the drain of transistor NMOS7 is connected to the other end of capacitor C0, the substrate of transistor NMOS7 is used to access the signal VSS, and the gate of transistor NMOS7 is used to access the input signal NCON2.
[0024] It can be understood that in this specification, NMOS is an N-type MOS tube and PMOS is a P-type MOS tube. The input signal VSAMP controls whether the transistor NMOS0 samples the input signal through the inverter INV0 and the gate voltage bootstrap circuit BTSP. The signal VSAMP is the control signal of the gate voltage bootstrap circuit BTSP. When the signal VSAMP is at a high level, VSAMB is at a low level, the gate voltage bootstrap circuit BTSP enters a reset state, the transistor NMOS0 is turned off, the transistor NMOS1 is turned off, and the transistor NMOS2 is turned on, so that the substrate of the transistor NMOS0 is connected to GND (ground), the transistor NMOS4 is turned off, and the sampling of the signal VSS is stopped. At this time, since the transistor NMOS0 is in the off state, when its substrate is grounded, the equivalent PN junction of the source, drain and substrate is more reverse biased, thereby making its off resistance larger.
[0025] When the signal VSAMP is at a low level, VSAMPB is at a high level, the gate voltage bootstrap circuit BTSP enters the working state, the transistor NMOS0 is turned on, the transistor NMOS1 is turned on so that the substrate of the transistor NMOS0 is connected to the input signal VSIG, the transistor NMOS2 is turned off, and the transistor NMOS4 is turned on. At this time, the transistor NMOS0 samples the input signal VSIG and stores the input signal VSIG to the capacitor C0. The transistor NMOS4 is turned on and the signal VSS is stored in the capacitor C1. At this time, the source of the transistor NMOS0 is short-circuited with the substrate, which can reduce the threshold voltage changes with the input and reduce its threshold voltage, so that its on-resistance is smaller when it is turned on. In this way, the substrate voltage bias technology is formed, which makes the sampling switch have a smaller resistance when it is turned on and a larger resistance when it is turned off.
[0026] The input signal PHIB is used to control whether the transistor NMOS3 and the transistor PMOS0 sample the reference voltage VREF. Specifically, the input signal PHIB is a control signal for whether to sample the reference signal VREF. When the input signal PHIB is at a high level, the potential at point A is at a high level and the potential at point B is at a low level through the action of the inverter INV1, the inverter INV2 and the inverter INV3, so that the transistor NMOS3, the transistor NMOS6 and the transistor PMOS0 are turned on, so that the reference signal VREF is stored in the capacitor C0, and the signal VCM is stored in the capacitor C1. When the input signal PHIB is at a low level, the potential at point A is at a low level and the potential at point B is at a high level through the action of the inverter INV1, the inverter INV2 and the inverter INV3, so that the transistor NMOS3 and the transistor PMOS0 are turned off, and the reference signal VREF and the signal VCM are not sampled at this time.
[0027] The input signal NCON2 controls the transistor NMOS5 and the NMOS tube NMOS7 to sample the common mode voltage VCM and the reference voltage VREFN through the inverter INV4 and the inverter INV5. Specifically, when the signal NCON2 is at a high level, the signal NCON2LATE is at a high level through the inverter INV4 and the inverter INV5, so that the transistor NMOS7 is turned on, so that the common mode voltage signal VCM and the reference signal VREFN are stored in the capacitor C1; when the signal NCON2 is at a low level, the signal NCON2LATE is at a low level through the inverter INV4 and the inverter INV5, so that the transistor NMOS7 is turned off and the sampling of the signal VCM and the signal VREFN is stopped.
[0028] In one embodiment, Figure 3As shown, the preamplifier 13 includes a transistor NMOS8, a transistor NMOS9, a transistor NMOS10, a transistor NMOS11 and a transistor NMOS12.

Specifically, when the input signal CLK is at a high level, the transistor NMOS17 is turned on, and the transistors PMOS1 and PMOS4 are turned off, so that the entire dynamic comparator enters the working state. When the input signal CLK is at a low level, the transistor NMOS17 is turned off, and the transistors PMOS1 and PMOS4 are turned on, so that the output terminals ON and OP are charged to a high level, thereby entering the reset state. Among them, Figures 2 to 4 The circuit terminals in the circuit are numbered 01 to 04, and the circuit terminals with the same number in each circuit structure diagram are connected. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The same principle applies in Chinese.

Specifically, the flash lock signal FLASH_LOCK is an input signal, which is used to control whether the output of the latch LAT will change with the input. When the FLASH_LOCK signal is a valid signal, the output result of the comparator changes with the change of the input signal, and the output signal of the latch LAT also changes accordingly. When the FLASH_LOCK signal is an invalid signal, the output result of the comparator also changes with the change of the input signal, but the output signal of the latch LAT will only output the signal at the moment when the FLASH_LOCK signal changes from a valid signal to an invalid signal.

[0043] Compared with the traditional comparator, the whole circuit adopts the design structure of the switched capacitor comparator, so that the input signal of the comparator is near the common mode voltage VCM, ensuring that each comparator will not have an offset voltage error caused by different DC parameters due to different common mode voltages, and adopts an offset voltage automatic calibration circuit ACC, so that the offset voltage of the comparator is smaller. In the manufacture of chips, some devices with the same requirements are not exactly the same after they are actually produced, so the drain discharge speeds of transistors NMOS15 and NMOS16 are different, thereby introducing offset voltage, which will cause misjudgment when the input signals of the comparator are not much different. The principle of the offset voltage automatic calibration circuit ACC is to give the same input voltage to transistors NMOS13 and NMOS14 before comparing the data, and then according to the comparison result, the offset voltage automatic calibration circuit ACC adaptively adds capacitance to the drains of transistors NMOS15 and NMOS16, so that the discharge speeds of the two points tend to be consistent, thereby reducing the offset voltage.
