[0036] Among them, EN in the control circuit 1 is an enable signal input from the outside. When EN is "1", ENP is "0". At this time, the PMOS tube M23 is turned off, the NMOS tube M25 is turned on, and the PMOS tubes M31 and M32 are turned on, so that the gate voltages of the NMOS tubes M24 and M26 are pulled down, and the gate voltages of the PMOS tubes M29, M33, M30 and M34 are pulled up. No current is generated in the entire circuit, thereby turning off the circuit. Otherwise, the circuit is turned on and works normally. SEL is a mode switching signal. When SEL is "1", SELP is "0". At this time, the PMOS tubes M35 and M36 are turned on. At this time, the circuit outputs a differential swing of the LVDS size. Otherwise, it outputs a SubLVDS differential swing. In the single-ended to differential circuit 2, signals A and B are input signals of the transmission gate. When the circuit works normally, signal A is low, signal B is high, and the transmission gate is turned on. At the same time, the transmission delay of the transmission gate should be as much as possible to ensure that it is the same as the transmission delay of the inverter composed of the PMOS tube M15 and the NMOS tube M16, and finally output a pair of inverted differential signals IN and IP. In the bias circuit 3, Ibas is an external current source, which can be provided by an external bandgap reference. After the current comes in, it is mirrored by the current mirror and then provided to the driver circuit 4 and the common-mode feedback circuit 5.
[0037] In the driver circuit 4, IN and IP are a pair of inverted signals, IN and IP are input terminal signals, OUTN and OUTP are output terminals of the driver circuit, and the driving current flowing through the circuit is Im. When the input signal IN is high level "1" and IP is low level "0", the PMOS tube M40 and the NMOS tube M41 are turned on, and the current direction is M40→OUTN→RL→OUTP→M41. The voltage OUTN-OUTP across the matching resistor RL is positive, and the SubLVDS signal is VOD=OUTN-OUTP, with a magnitude of I m ×RL. Therefore, the SubLVDS signal is positive at this time. When the input signal IN is high level "0" and IP is low level "1", the PMOS tube M39 and the NMOS tube M42 are turned on, and the current direction is M39→OUTP→RL→OUTN→M42. The voltage OUTN-OUTP across the matching resistor RL is negative, and the SubLVDS signal is VOD=OUTN-OUTP, with a magnitude of -I m ×RL. Therefore, the SubLVDS signal is negative at this time.
[0038] When the driver circuit 4 is working, the current source branch formed by the PMOS tube M33 and the PMOS tube M34 will always be open, and the current source branch formed by the PMOS tube M37 and the PMOS tube M38 is controlled by the switch PMOS tube M35 and the PMOS tube M36, thereby changing the current flowing through the driver circuit and further changing the swing of the output differential voltage. The circuit has two swings that can be switched. When SEL inputs logic "0", SELP is logic "1", PMOS tubes M35 and PMOS tubes M36 are turned off, and the current source composed of PMOS tubes M33 and PMOS tubes M34 participates in the work. The driver circuit finally outputs swing one, that is, the output differential voltage signal that meets the SubLVDS protocol, typically with a size of ±150mV; if SEL is logic "1", SELP is logic "0", PMOS tubes M35 and PMOS tubes M36 are turned on, and the current source composed of PMOS tubes M37 and PMOS tubes M38 and the current source composed of PMOS tubes M33 and PMOS tubes M34 provide current for the driver together. The driver circuit finally outputs swing two, which meets the output differential voltage signal of the LVDS protocol, and typically with a size of ±350mV.
[0039] In the common-mode feedback circuit 5, if the common-mode detection voltage result is V O If the voltage VCM of the five-tube op amp decreases and is less than the reference voltage VCM, the output voltage of the five-tube op amp will increase, and the gate voltage of the NMOS tube M43 will increase. The gate-source voltage VGS of the NMOS tube M43 will increase, causing the current to increase. Therefore, the total current flowing through the circuit will increase, V OThat is, the average values of the output voltages OUTN and OUTP increase, forming a complete negative feedback network to achieve the function of adjusting the common-mode voltage; the resistor voltage divider structure composed of resistors R4, R5, R6, and R7 is used to obtain the reference voltage VCM, which can be obtained. By adjusting the proportional relationship between them, the reference voltage VCM can be obtained. In the present invention, VCM is 0.95V.
[0040] Furthermore, in typical applications, the input signal of the circuit is a single-ended digital signal, while the input of the driver requires a dual-ended input. The single-ended input signal is converted into a pair of inverted differential signals through a single-to-dual circuit. In order to increase the output driving capability, several stages of inverters with gradually multiplied width-to-length ratios are added after the output differential signal, and finally two pairs of inverted differential signals IN and IP are obtained.
[0041] Furthermore, in the driver circuit, IN and IP are a pair of inverted signals, IN and IP are input signals, OUTN and OUTP are outputs of the driver circuit, and the driving current flowing through the circuit is Im. When the input signal IN is high level "1" and IP is low level "0", the PMOS tube M40 and the NMOS tube M41 are turned on, and the current direction is M40→OUTN→RL→OUTP→M41. The voltage OUTN-OUTP across the matching resistor RL is positive, and the SubLVDS signal is VOD=OUTN-OUTP, with a magnitude of I m ×RL. Therefore, the SubLVDS signal is positive at this time. When the input signal IN is high level "0" and IP is low level "1", the PMOS tube M39 and the NMOS tube M42 are turned on, and the current direction is M39→OUTP→RL→OUTN→M42. The voltage OUTN-OUTP across the matching resistor RL is negative, and the SubLVDS signal is VOD=OUTN-OUTP, with a magnitude of -I m ×RL. Therefore, the SubLVDS signal is negative at this time.
[0042] Furthermore, when the driver circuit is working, the current source branch formed by the PMOS tube M33 and the PMOS tube M34 will always be open, and the current source branch formed by the PMOS tube M37 and the PMOS tube M38 is controlled by the switch PMOS tube M35 and the PMOS tube M36, thereby changing the current flowing through the driver circuit and further changing the swing of the output differential voltage. The circuit has two swings that can be switched. When EN inputs a logic low level and SEL inputs a logic low level, ENP and SELP are logic high levels, PMOS tubes M31 and M32 are turned off, PMOS tube M23 is turned on, NMOS tube M25 is turned off, and PMOS tubes M35 and M36 are turned off to work. At this time, the current source composed of PMOS tubes M33 and PMOS tubes M34 participates in the work, and the driver circuit finally outputs swing one, and the output is ±150mV at this time; if SEL is a logic high level, SELP is a logic low level, PMOS tubes M35 and PMOS tubes M36 are turned on, and the current source composed of PMOS tubes M37 and PMOS tubes M38 and the current source composed of PMOS tubes M33 and PMOS tubes M34 together provide current for the driver, and the driver circuit finally outputs swing two, and the output is ±350mV at this time.
[0043] Furthermore, in order to read the common-mode level value between the output levels OUTN and OUTP, the common-mode feedback circuit connects two large resistors R2 and R3 in series between the output voltages OUTN and OUTP, and connects them in parallel with the matching load impedance RL. The values of R2 and R3 are much larger than RL, so that almost all the current of the driver flows through RL without affecting the output signal. The common-mode voltage is When designing, R2=R3, so it can be simplified to That is, the common-mode feedback voltage V O is approximately the average of the two output levels; the output end of the five-tube op amp is connected to the gate of the tail current source NMOS tube M43 of the driver circuit to control the common-mode level of the circuit. If the result of the common-mode detection voltage is V O If the voltage VCM of the five-tube op amp increases and exceeds the reference voltage VCM, the output voltage of the five-tube op amp decreases, and the gate voltage of the NMOS tube M43 decreases. The gate-source voltage VGS of the NMOS tube M43 decreases, resulting in a decrease in the current. Therefore, the total current flowing through the circuit will decrease, V O That is, the average value of the output voltages OUTN and OUTP decreases, forming a complete negative feedback network to achieve the function of adjusting the common-mode voltage; the resistor voltage divider structure composed of resistors R4, R5, R6, and R7 is used to obtain the reference voltage VCM, which can be obtained. By adjusting the proportional relationship between them, the reference voltage VCM can be obtained, and this reference voltage can also be generated by an external bandgap reference.
[0044] Simulation Results
[0045] During simulation, the transmission rate of the input signal is 2Gbps, that is, the signal 1bit width is 0.5ns. The SubLVDS protocol requires the output differential voltage range to be between 100mV-200mV, the standard value is 150mV, and the common mode voltage to be between 0.8V-1V, the standard value is 0.9V; the LVDS protocol requires the output differential voltage range to be between 250mV-450mV, the standard value is 350mV. OUTN and OUTP in the figure represent the output signal level, V O It indicates the common mode voltage, and VOD indicates the differential output voltage signal.
