TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of successive approximation analog-to-digital converter, in particular to a second-order passive noise shaping successive approximation analog-to-digital converter, a noise shaping method, a noise shaping device and a readable storage medium. BACKGROUND
[0002] Analog-to-digital converters are mainly divided into Nyquist rate analog-to-digital converters and oversampling analog-to-digital converters, one of the most representative types in Nyquist rate analog-to-digital converters is successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (SAR DAC for short), and the most widely used oversampling analog-to-digital converter is Σ-Δ ADC; SAR ADC is widely used in the field of medium speed and medium accuracy due to the existence of comparator noise and DAC establishment error; and Σ-Δ ADC has high accuracy, but since an integrator is needed in the internal active loop filter, the core unit in the integrator is an operational amplifier, which not only has high power consumption, but also reduces the conversion rate of the system, so Σ-Δ ADC is widely used in the field of low speed and high accuracy.
[0003] Noise shaping successive approximation analog-to-digital converter is an application of oversampling technology and noise shaping technology in SAR DAC, which has the advantages of medium speed and high efficiency of SAR DAC and high accuracy of Σ-Δ. Some existing noise shaping successive approximation analog-to-digital converters use active loop filters, which still have relatively high power consumption; and some use passive loop filter structures, which can effectively reduce system design complexity and power consumption, but usually only achieve first-order noise shaping, and when sampling the residual voltage using a switched capacitor, KT / C noise and gain loss are introduced, and the passive loop filter of this structure needs a multiple-input pair comparator, which increases the comparator noise, so the noise shaping effect is not very ideal.

[0043] Understandable, reference Figure 1 As shown, the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 is a differential structure, which includes a plurality of capacitors ( Figure 1 Only one is shown in the figure) composed of a positive capacitor array and a negative capacitor array, the input end of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 includes the input end of the positive capacitor array and the input end of the negative capacitor array. In the sampling phase, it can be switched on and off at the switch Φ s The voltage to be measured (V in / V ip In the conversion phase, the comparison result of the multi-input comparator 120 received by the SAR logic control circuit 130 can be used to determine the voltage V to be measured. in / V ip Continuously search the binary interval and compare it with V ref / 2、V ref / 2±V ref / 4、Vref / 2±V ref / 4±V ref / 8……comparison, so as to gradually approach the to-be-measured voltage V in and V ip the interval, and finally obtain the digital signal for equivalent to-be-measured voltage V in and V ip .
[0044] The analog-to-digital converter can be a periodic working mode, wherein each conversion period can include two stages of conversion stage and residual error integration stage; taking the current conversion period as an example, in the conversion stage, the passive loop filter circuit 140 is in a non-working state, that is, the residual error sampling unit 141, the first integration unit 142 and the second integration unit 143 in the passive loop filter circuit 140 are all not working, and after receiving the conversion result of the last conversion period, the timing control circuit 150 enters a new conversion period, that is, starts to drive the SAR logic control circuit, and then the SAR logic control circuit controls the one end of the capacitor in each capacitor array of the capacitor type digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 to receive the to-be-measured voltage and the other end to receive the common-mode voltage, so as to realize voltage sampling. After sampling is completed, the switch Φ sThe output voltage of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 is adjusted by adjusting the switches in the capacitor array to gradually approach the to-be-measured voltage in each shift process, so that the output voltage gradually approaches the to-be-measured voltage in each shift process, until the shift ends to generate the residual voltage of the current conversion period. Assuming that the output voltage of the first differential output end of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 in the gradual approximation process is VCP, and the output voltage of the second differential output end is VCN, wherein the output is converted by the multi-input comparator according to the current output voltage and the integral voltage of the previous conversion period during the shift, and then the next bit is shifted by the SAR logic control circuit controlled by the timing control circuit 150, until the shift of the current conversion period ends, the multi-input comparator 120 converts the output according to the output voltage of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 after the last shift and the integral voltage of the previous conversion period output by the passive loop filter circuit 140, and finally the conversion result of the current conversion period can be obtained. After the timing control circuit 150 receives the conversion result of the current conversion period, the next conversion period starts, and so on. Wherein, the integral voltage of the previous conversion period is the integral voltage obtained by charging the first integral unit 142 and the second integral unit 143 in sequence after the residual voltage sampling unit 141 collects the residual voltage in the previous conversion period. Then enter the residual integral stage, after obtaining the residual voltage, the residual voltage sampling unit 141 collects the residual voltage of the current conversion period under the control of the timing control circuit 150, and charges the first integral unit 142 and the second integral unit 143 in sequence based on the residual voltage of the current conversion period to obtain the integral voltage of the current conversion period, which is used for the conversion stage of the next conversion period. Wherein, the output voltage of the first differential output end is VCP, and the output voltage of the second differential output end is VCN.
[0045] The following is proved by calculation that the analog-to-digital converter has good noise shaping effect.
[0046] The integral voltage includes the first integral voltage after charging the first integral unit 142 and the second integral voltage after charging the second integral unit 143. The multi-input comparator 120 can be a six-input comparator. The end connected with the first integral unit 142 is set as GM_INT1, the end connected with the second integral unit 143 is set as GM_INT2, and the end connected with the capacitive digital-to-analog converter is set as GM_VIN. The output ratio between each end is set as GM_INT1=4GM_VIN; GM_INT2=16GM_VIN, so that the output D out (z) is set as:
[0047] D out (z)=V in (z)+4V INT1 (z)+16V INT2 (z)+Q(z)
[0048] wherein V in (z) is the voltage to be measured converted to the complex frequency domain in , V INT1 (z) is the first integral voltage converted to the complex frequency domain INT2 (z) is the second integral voltage converted to the complex frequency domain, Q(z) includes quantization error and equivalent input noise of the comparator. In combination with the above formula, the residual voltage V res (z) in the complex frequency domain can be expressed as:
[0049] V res (z) = V in (z) - D out (z)
[0050] = -4V INT1 (z) - 16V INT2 (z) - Q(z)
[0051] Referring to Figure 2 , it is assumed that the residual voltage is V res , and the total capacitance value of the positive and negative capacitance matrices is C DAC , for ease of calculation, the capacitance value of the residual sampling unit 141 is , the capacitance value of the first integral unit 142 and the capacitance value of the second integral unit 143 are both C DAC ; the opening and closing of the switch S1 represents the control of charging the residual sampling unit 141, the opening and closing of the switch S2 represents the control of charging the first integral unit 142, and the opening and closing of the switch S3 represents the control of charging the second integral unit 143; when the residual sampling unit 141 collects the residual voltage (i.e., only the switch s1 is closed), the charges of the residual voltage are redistributed between the capacitance matrix and the residual sampling unit 141, and the voltage sampled by the residual sampling unit 141 is represented as V res ', then the residual sampling unit 141 charges the first integral unit 142 (i.e., only the switch s2 is closed), the charges of the voltage V res ' are redistributed between the residual sampling unit 141 and the first integral unit 142, and the voltage of the first integral unit 142 after charging is represented as V INTI
[0052] Then the residual sampling unit 141 charges the second integral unit 143 (i.e., only the switch s3 is closed), the charges of the voltage V res ' are redistributed between the residual sampling unit 141 and the first integral unit 142, and the voltage of the second integral unit 143 after charging is represented as V INT2 , assuming that the initial VINT1 and VINT2 are both 0, based on the charge conservation, it can be obtained that in the nth conversion period:
[0053]
[0054] After Z-transform, we have
[0055]
[0056] After arrangement, we have
[0057]
[0058] Similarly, we have
[0059]
[0060] After Z-transform, we have
[0061]
[0062] After arrangement, we have
[0063]
[0064] Again, because
[0065] V res (z) = V in (z) - D out (z) = -4V INT1 (z) - 16V INT2 (z) - Q(z)
[0066] V res (z) = V INT1 (z) and V INT2 (z) can be obtained as follows:
[0067] V res (z) = -4V INT1 (z) - 16V INT2 (z) - Q(z)
[0068]
[0069] Solving, we have
[0070]
[0071] Substituting
[0072] D out (z) = V in (z) - V res (z)
[0073] We have
[0074]
[0075] The noise transfer function (NTF) has two zeros at Z=0.75, and when Z=1, NTF=1 / 16. Therefore, based on the structure of the above-mentioned analog-to-digital converter, by reasonably setting the capacitance values of the residue sampling unit 141, the first integration unit 142, and the second integration unit 143, theoretically, noise suppression of -24 dB can be achieved.
[0076] The above-mentioned method is that, in each conversion period, the timing control circuit 150 controls the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 to perform voltage sampling of the current conversion period according to the conversion result of the previous conversion period, and generates an output voltage that successively approximates the voltage to be measured based on the sampled voltage, until the residue voltage of the current conversion period is generated. Then, on one hand, the multi-input comparator performs conversion output according to the output voltage of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 and the integral voltage of the previous conversion period output by the passive loop filter circuit 140, to obtain the conversion result of the current conversion period. On the other hand, the timing control circuit 150 controls the residue sampling unit 141 to collect the residue voltage of the current conversion period, and based on the residue voltage of the current conversion period, the first integration unit 142 and the second integration unit 143 are successively charged to obtain the integral voltage of the current conversion period, which is used for conversion output in the next conversion period. In this way, by performing second-order integration of the residue voltage at the end of each conversion period and using it for conversion output in the next conversion period, the KT / C noise and gain loss during residue sampling can be eliminated, the comparator noise is reduced, the signal-to-noise ratio and the spur-free dynamic range of the analog-to-digital converter are improved, and in addition, since the passive loop filter circuit 140 is used, the power consumption and design complexity of the entire analog-to-digital converter are also low.
[0077] In one embodiment, the capacitance value of the residue sampling unit 141 is equal to one-third of the capacitance value of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110; the capacitance value of the first integration unit 142 and the capacitance value of the second integration unit 143 are each equal to the capacitance value of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110.
[0078] It can be understood that, assuming that the capacitance value of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 is C DAC , the capacitance value of the residue sampling unit 141 is The capacitance value of the first integration unit 142 and the capacitance value of the second integration unit 143 are each C DAC . According to the calculation process of the above-mentioned embodiment, the final noise suppression can reach -24 dB. By setting the capacitance values in this way, the overall noise of the analog-to-digital converter can be greatly reduced.
[0079] In one embodiment, as Figure 3As shown, each residual sampling unit 141 includes a sampling capacitor Cs and a sampling switch S0; a first end of the sampling switch S0 is connected with the target differential output end, a second end of the sampling switch S0 is connected with a first end of the sampling capacitor Cs, the first integrating unit 142 and the second integrating unit 143 respectively; a second end of the sampling capacitor Cs is connected with the ground end; wherein the target differential output end is the first differential output end or the second differential output end.
[0080] It can be understood that the number of residual sampling units 141 is two, for the residual sampling unit 141 connected with the first differential output end, a first end of the sampling switch S0 in the residual sampling unit 141 is connected with the first differential output end, and for the residual sampling unit 141 connected with the second differential output end, a first end of the sampling switch S0 in the residual sampling unit 141 is connected with the second differential output end.
[0081] By controlling the sampling switch S0 to be closed, the charging of the sampling capacitor Cs can be realized, that is, the charging of the residual sampling unit 141 is realized. The residual sampling unit 141 has a simple structure and is easy to control.
[0082] In one embodiment, the first integrating unit 142 includes a first switch S1 and a first integrating capacitor C1; the second integrating unit 143 includes a second switch S2 and a second integrating capacitor C2; a first end of the first switch S1 and a first end of the second switch S2 are connected with the first end of the sampling capacitor Cs respectively; a second end of the first switch S1 and a first end of the first integrating capacitor C1 are connected with the multi-input comparator 120 respectively; a second end of the first integrating capacitor C1 is connected with the ground end; a second end of the second switch S2 and a first end of the second integrating capacitor C2 are connected with the multi-input comparator 120 respectively; a second end of the second integrating capacitor C2 is connected with the ground end.
[0083] It can be understood that the first integrating unit 142 and the second integrating unit 143 can respectively include a switch and a capacitor, and the charging of the capacitor is controlled by the opening and closing of the switch, which has a simple structure and is easy to control.
[0084] In one embodiment, the analog-to-digital converter further includes a third switch S3; a first end of the third switch S3 is connected with the residual sampling unit 141, a second end of the third switch S3 is connected with the ground end, and the timing control circuit 150 is further configured to control the third switch S3 to be closed before controlling the residual sampling unit 141 to collect the residual voltage of the current conversion period, so that the residual sampling unit 141 is discharged.
[0085] Specifically, when the residual sampling unit 141 includes a sampling capacitor Cs and a sampling switch S0, a first end of the third switch S3 is connected to the first end of the sampling capacitor Cs, and a second end of the third switch S3 is connected to the ground. The timing control circuit 150 is further configured to close the third switch S3 to discharge the sampling capacitor Cs before controlling the residual sampling unit 141 to collect the residual voltage of the current conversion cycle.

[0086] In one embodiment, the timing control circuit 150 controls the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 to perform voltage sampling in the current conversion cycle at the moment when the charging of the first integration unit in the previous conversion cycle ends.
[0087] It can be understood that since the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 performs voltage sampling at the beginning of each conversion cycle, and since the voltage sampling process and the integration process of the residual voltage do not interfere with each other, in order to shorten the overall conversion time, the voltage sampling of the next conversion cycle can be started at the moment when the charging of the first integration unit 142 using the residual voltage is completed by the timing control circuit 150.
[0088] Specifically, the first switch S1 is used to control the charging of the first integration unit 142, the second switch S2 is used to control the charging of the second integration unit 143, and the switch Φ s Control the capacitor type digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 to realize voltage acquisition, then the switch Φ s The closing time can be referred to Figure 4 The time t1 shown is the charging end time of the first integration unit 142. This allows the capacitive DAC circuit 110 to complete voltage acquisition for the next conversion cycle when the charging end time of the second integration unit 143, thus saving the overall DAC conversion time.

[0090] It can be understood that the noise shaping method can be implemented by the timing control circuit 150. The timing control circuit 150 can be provided internally by the second-order passive noise shaping successive approximation analog-to-digital converter or provided by an external device.
[0091] The capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 is a differential structure, which includes a plurality of capacitors ( Figure 1 The input end of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 includes the input end of the positive capacitor array and the input end of the negative capacitor array. One end of each capacitor in the positive capacitor array is connected in common as the input end of the positive capacitor array, which can be switched on and off at the switch Φ s Under the control of the test voltage (V ip / V in By controlling each switch, the comparison result of the multi-input comparator 120 received by the SAR logic control circuit 130 can be measured voltage V inThe search of the two-partition interval is continuously carried out, which is compared with V ref / 2, V ref / 2±V ref / 4, V ref / 2±V ref / 4±V ref / 8... to gradually approach the interval where V in and V ip are located, and finally obtain the digital signal for equivalent V in and V ip .
[0092] The analog-to-digital converter can be a periodic working mode, wherein each conversion period can include two stages of conversion stage and residual error integration stage; taking the current conversion period as an example, in the conversion stage, the passive loop filter circuit 140 is in a non-working state, that is, the residual error sampling unit 141, the first integration unit 142 and the second integration unit 143 therein are all not working, after receiving the conversion result of the last conversion period, entering a new conversion period, that is, starting to drive the SAR logic control circuit, and then by the SAR logic control circuit, controlling the one end of the capacitor in each capacitor array of the capacitor type digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 to receive the to-be-measured voltage and the other end to receive the common-mode voltage, to realize voltage sampling, after the sampling is completed, the switch Φ sThe output voltage of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 is adjusted by adjusting each switch in the capacitor array to shift, so that the output voltage approaches the to-be-measured voltage step by step in each shifting process, until the shift ends to generate the residual error voltage of the current conversion period. It is assumed that the output voltage of the first differential output end of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 is VCP, and the output voltage of the second differential output end is VCN in the step-by-step approximation process. During the shift, the multi-input comparator converts and outputs according to the current output voltage and the integral voltage of the previous conversion period, and then drives the SAR logic control circuit to control the shift of the next bit, until the shift of the current conversion period ends, and the conversion result of the current conversion period can be obtained. After receiving the conversion result of the current conversion period, the next conversion period is started, and so on. The multi-input comparator 120 converts and outputs according to the output voltage of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 and the integral voltage of the previous conversion period output by the passive loop filter circuit 140 to obtain the conversion result of the current conversion period; wherein the integral voltage of the previous conversion period is obtained by successively charging the first integral unit 142 and the second integral unit 143 by the residual error sampling unit 141 after collecting the residual error voltage in the previous conversion period. Then, the residual error integration stage is entered, the residual error sampling unit 141 collects the residual error voltage of the current conversion period after obtaining the residual error voltage, and successively charges the first integral unit 142 and the second integral unit 143 based on the residual error voltage of the current conversion period to obtain the integral voltage of the current conversion period, which is used for the conversion stage of the next conversion period.
[0093] The noise shaping result achieved by the above manner can be referred to Figure 1 the analysis of the embodiments, which will not be described here.
[0094] The above-mentioned through in each conversion period, according to the conversion result of the last conversion period, the voltage sampling of the current conversion period is controlled by the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110, and the output voltage which gradually approaches the voltage to be measured is generated based on the sampled voltage, until the residual voltage of the current conversion period is generated, then on the one hand, the conversion output is obtained by the multi-input comparator according to the output voltage of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 and the integral voltage of the last conversion period output by the passive loop filter circuit 140, and the conversion result of the current conversion period is obtained, on the other hand, the residual voltage of the current conversion period is collected by the residual voltage sampling unit 141, and the first integral unit 142 and the second integral unit 143 are charged based on the residual voltage of the current conversion period, respectively, to obtain the integral voltage of the current conversion period, for the conversion output of the next conversion period, so that the KT / C noise and gain loss in the residual sampling are eliminated by performing the second-order integration of the residual voltage at the end of each conversion period and for the conversion output of the next conversion period, and the comparator noise is reduced, the signal-to-noise ratio and the spur-free dynamic range of the analog-to-digital converter are improved, and in addition, since the passive loop filter circuit 140 is used, the power consumption and design complexity of the entire analog-to-digital converter are low.
[0095] In one embodiment, the capacitance value of the residual voltage sampling unit 141 is equal to one-third of the capacitance value of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110; the capacitance value of the first integral unit 142 and the capacitance value of the second integral unit 143 are respectively equal to the capacitance value of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110.
[0096] According to the analysis result of the embodiment, Figure 1 It can be known from the analysis result of the embodiment that the noise of the entire analog-to-digital converter can be greatly reduced through the numerical setting of the capacitance value.

[0098] It can be understood that the number of residual voltage sampling units 141 is two, for the residual voltage sampling unit 141 connected with the first differential output end, the first end of the sampling switch S0 in it is connected with the first differential output end, and for the residual voltage sampling unit 141 connected with the second differential output end, the first end of the sampling switch S0 in it is connected with the second differential output end.
[0099] The timing control of the sampling switch S0 can refer to Figure 4 which can be closed after the multi-input comparator 120 completes the comparison of each bit data of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 (taking 6 bits as an example in the figure) to generate the next clock cycle of the residual voltage of the current conversion period. In addition, Figure 4 wherein EN is an enable signal controlled by the timing, CLK is a reference clock signal, and CLK_COMP is a clock signal for driving the multi-input comparator 120 to compare.
[0100] The charging of the sampling capacitor Cs can be achieved by controlling the closing of the sampling switch S0, that is, the charging of the residual sampling unit 141. The residual sampling unit 141 has a simple structure and is easy to control.
[0101] In one embodiment, the first integration unit 142 includes a first switch S1 and a first integration capacitor C1, and the second integration unit 143 includes a second switch S2 and a second integration capacitor C2. The first end of the first switch S1 and the first end of the second switch S2 are respectively connected to the first end of the sampling capacitor Cs. The second end of the first switch S1 and the first end of the first integration capacitor C1 are respectively connected to the multi-input comparator 120. The second end of the first integration capacitor C1 is connected to the ground. The second end of the second switch S2 and the first end of the second integration capacitor C2 are respectively connected to the multi-input comparator 120. The second end of the second integration capacitor C2 is connected to the ground. The charging of the first integration unit 142 and the second integration unit 143 based on the residual voltage of the current conversion period in sequence includes: opening the sampling switch S0 and closing the first switch S1 to charge the first integration capacitor C1 by the sampling capacitor Cs; opening the first switch S1 and closing the second switch S2 to charge the second integration capacitor C2 by the sampling capacitor Cs after discharging.
[0102] It can be understood that after the residual voltage is collected by closing the sampling switch S0, the sampling switch S0 is first opened and the first switch S1 is closed to charge the first integration capacitor C1 by the sampling capacitor Cs. The control timing of the first switch S1 can refer to Figure 4 which can be located in the next clock cycle after the sampling switch S0 is opened. After the first integration capacitor C1 is fully charged, the first switch S1 is opened and the second switch S2 is closed to charge the second integration capacitor C2 by the sampling capacitor Cs after discharging the first integration capacitor C1. The control timing of the second switch S2 can refer to Figure 4 which can be located in the next clock cycle after the first switch S1 is opened.

[0104] It can be understood that, before controlling the residual error sampling unit 141 to collect the residual error voltage of the current conversion period, the third switch S3 is closed to discharge the sampling capacitor Cs, so that the sampling capacitor Cs does not retain the residual error voltage of the last conversion period, thereby affecting the integral voltage of the current conversion period.
[0105] In one embodiment, the control of the capacitor type digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 to perform voltage sampling of the current conversion period comprises: controlling the capacitor type digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 to perform voltage sampling of the current conversion period at the end of charging of the first integral unit in the last conversion period.
[0106] It can be understood that, since the capacitor type digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 performs voltage sampling at the beginning of each conversion period, and since the voltage sampling process and the integral process of the residual error voltage do not interfere with each other, in order to shorten the overall conversion time, voltage sampling of the next conversion period can be started at the end of charging of the first integral unit 142 using the residual error voltage.
[0107] Specifically, the first switch S1 is used to control charging of the first integral unit 142, the second switch S2 is used to control charging of the second integral unit 143, and the switch Φ s The closing time of the switch Φ s may refer to the t1 time point shown in FIG. 1, that is, the end of charging of the first integral unit 142. In this way, the capacitor type digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 has completed voltage sampling of the next conversion period at the end of charging of the second integral unit 143, thereby saving the overall conversion time of the analog-to-digital converter.

By adjusting each switch in the capacitor array, the output voltage of the capacitor type digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 is adjusted, so that the output voltage gradually approaches the to-be-measured voltage in each displacement process, until the displacement ends to generate the residual voltage of the current conversion cycle. During the displacement, the multi-input comparator outputs according to the current output voltage and the integral voltage of the last conversion cycle, and then drives the SAR logic control circuit to control the displacement of the next bit, until the displacement of the current conversion cycle is completed. The multi-input comparator 120 outputs according to the output voltage of the capacitor type digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 and the integral voltage of the last conversion cycle output by the passive loop filter circuit 140, and the conversion result of the current conversion cycle can be obtained. After receiving the conversion result of the current conversion cycle, the next conversion cycle is started, and so on. Then enter the residual error integration stage. After obtaining the residual error voltage, the sampling switch S0 is closed, so that the sampling capacitor Cs samples the residual error voltage. Then the sampling switch S0 is opened, and the first switch S1 is closed, so that the sampling capacitor Cs discharges to the first integral capacitor C1 to charge the first integral capacitor C1. After the charging is completed, the first switch S1 is opened and the second switch S2 is closed, so that the discharged sampling capacitor Cs charges the second integral capacitor C2. In this way, the integral voltage of the current conversion cycle, that is, the charging voltage on the first integral capacitor C1 and the second integral capacitor C2, can be obtained.
