Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of high-precision operational amplifiers, and in particular to an operational amplifier and electronic equipment with low offset voltage. Background Art
[0002] During chip production, the operational amplifier may generate an offset voltage at the input of the operational amplifier due to internal transistor mismatch, process deviation, temperature drift, mechanical or thermal stress during packaging, etc. In some measurement and control systems with high precision requirements, it is usually necessary to measure and collect some weak analog signals, such as current, voltage, etc. However, due to the offset voltage of the operational amplifier itself, the sampling accuracy will be affected.
[0003] In order to eliminate the offset voltage of the operational amplifier, the technical means adopted in the prior art are usually a chopper operational amplifier and an auto-zero operational amplifier.
[0004] For chopper op amps, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The circuit structure diagram of the chopper operational amplifier is shown in FIG. 1 , which is specifically composed of a first chopper unit, an operational amplifier, a second chopper unit, and a low-pass filter connected in sequence. The first chopper unit can convert the continuous input signal V in Converted into a high frequency square wave signal V with a fixed chopping frequency a At this time, the inherent offset voltage Vos at the input of the operational amplifier and the high-frequency square wave signal Va are added to the input, and then the output signal V is obtained after amplification by the operational amplifier. b . Output signal V b After passing through the second chopper unit, it is converted into a low-frequency output signal Vout. Since the offset voltage Vos only passes through the chopper unit once, its signal will be modulated to the chopping frequency by the second chopper unit, even if the input signal V in It is separated from the high-frequency offset voltage Vos. Finally, the offset voltage Vos modulated to the chopping frequency is filtered out by a low-pass filter.
[0005] The problem with this solution is that since the chopping process occurs instantaneously, the input signal V in There may be rapid changes before truncation or chopping. When these rapidly changing signals are truncated or chopped, the output signal will experience mutations or jumps, resulting in discontinuity in time, which may introduce time domain errors. At the same time, additional harmonic components may appear in the output signal. Therefore, the chopper amplifier cannot be used in scenarios where the frequency of the input signal is higher than the chopping frequency, which limits the scope of application of the chopper amplifier.
[0006] For auto-zero op amps, see Figure 2 , Figure 2 The circuit structure diagram of the auto-zero operational amplifier is shown in Figure 1. It consists of two operational amplifiers with auxiliary input ports, where A1 is set as the main amplifier and A2 is set as the zeroing amplifier; A1 and A2 have offset voltages of certain magnitudes, Vos1 and Vos2, respectively. The auto-zero operational amplifier is divided into two working modes, the zeroing stage and the amplification stage.
[0007] In the zeroing stage, the corresponding switches S2 and S4 are closed; S1 and S3 are opened. The input port of A2 is short-circuited, and its output is connected to capacitor CM1. At the same time, capacitor CM1 is connected to the auxiliary input terminal of A2 to form a negative feedback structure. Therefore, the input offset voltage of A2 is stored in capacitor CM1. Next, the amplification stage is entered, and the corresponding switches S2 and S4 are opened; S1 and S3 are closed. Since the capacitor voltage cannot change suddenly, the voltage stored in capacitor CM1 remains as the offset voltage of A2 itself and serves as the input signal of the auxiliary port of A2. The offset voltage stored in capacitor CM1 is combined with the input signal Vin and input to A2, where it is amplified and output to capacitor CM2. This signal is input to the auxiliary input terminal of A1 to offset the offset voltage Vos1 at the input terminal of A1.
[0008] The problem with this solution is that since the self-zeroing operational amplifier needs to store the offset voltage in the zeroing stage before it can cancel the offset voltage in the amplification stage, the self-zeroing operational amplifier does not eliminate the offset voltage continuously, which greatly limits its application scenarios.
[0009] Therefore, providing an operational amplifier that can eliminate offset voltage with high precision and continuously without limiting the usage scenarios has become a technical problem that the industry urgently needs to solve. Summary of the invention

[0064] If the first operational amplifier module 10 is in a normal working stage, the second switch S2 and the third switch S3 are still turned off, and the first switch S1 and the seventh switch S7 are still turned on; the output end of the first output current unit 31 is coupled to the first end of the first resistor R1; if the second operational amplifier module 20 is in a normal working stage, the fourth switch S4 and the eighth switch S8 are still turned on, and the fifth switch S5 and the sixth switch S6 are still turned off; the output end of the second output current unit 32 is coupled to the first end of the first resistor R1;
[0065] If the first operational amplifier module 10 is in the offset voltage storage stage and the offset voltage elimination stage respectively, the second operational amplifier module 20 is in the normal working stage; if the second operational amplifier module 20 is in the offset voltage storage stage and the offset voltage elimination stage respectively, the first operational amplifier module 10 is in the normal working stage.
[0066] The first embodiment provided by the present invention achieves high-precision and full-cycle elimination of the influence of the offset voltage on the accuracy of the first output current and the second output current through the above technical solution. The principle is:
[0067] For a single operational amplifier module in an operational amplifier, taking the first operational amplifier module 10 as an example, if the first operational amplifier module 10 needs to eliminate the offset voltage at the input end of the first operational amplifier unit 11, the first operational amplifier module 10 first enters the offset voltage storage stage, and turns on the second switch S2 and the third switch S3, and turns off the first switch S1 and the seventh switch S7. In this stage, both the in-phase input end and the inverting input end of the first operational amplifier unit 11 are connected to the first input signal VISEN_IN, so that the two input ends of the first operational amplifier unit 11 are short-circuited. Then, the first operational amplifier can only amplify the offset voltage at the input end and output the first amplified voltage to the first offset voltage elimination unit 12. The first offset voltage elimination unit 12 is used to store the first amplified voltage in this stage. Specifically, the first offset voltage elimination unit 12 stores the first amplified voltage through an internally set capacitor. At the same time, the first offset voltage elimination unit 12 generates a first offset compensation current according to the first amplified voltage and outputs it to the first operational amplifier unit 11.
[0068] Then, the first operational amplifier module 10 enters the offset voltage elimination stage, and turns on the first switch S1 and the seventh switch S7, and turns off the second switch S2 and the third switch S3. In this stage, the first operational amplifier unit 11 has the first input signal VISEN_IN and the second input signal VBUFA connected to the in-phase input terminal and the inverting input terminal, respectively, and the output terminal of the first operational amplifier unit 11 is connected to the first output current unit 31, so that the first output current unit 31 generates the first output current. Since the capacitor voltage cannot change suddenly, the first offset voltage elimination unit 12 replaces the original input first amplified voltage with the stored voltage to maintain the first offset compensation current, thereby making the first input signal VISEN_IN input to the in-phase input terminal of the first operational amplifier module 10 the same as the second input signal VBUFA input to the inverting input terminal. At the same time, because the first terminal of the first output current unit 31 is connected to the second input signal VBUFA, the first terminal of the first output current unit 31 is equivalent to being connected to the first input signal VISEN_IN, that is, the accuracy of the first output current is ensured.
[0069] Finally, the first operational amplifier module 10 enters a normal working stage. On the basis of turning on the first switch S1 and the seventh switch S7 and turning off the second switch S2 and the third switch S3, the output end of the first output current unit 31 is coupled to the first end of the first resistor R1, so that the first output current flows through the first resistor R1, generates a first output voltage and outputs it.
[0070] Since the structure of the second operational amplifier module 20 is the same as that of the first operational amplifier module 10, the working contents of the second operational amplifier module 20 in each stage of the offset voltage storage stage, the offset voltage elimination stage and the normal working stage are the same as those of the first operational amplifier module 10, which will not be repeated here.
[0071] On the basis of eliminating the influence of the offset voltage on the output current accuracy by a single operational amplifier module, the first operational amplifier module 10 and the second operational amplifier module 20 are set to work alternately. When the first operational amplifier module 10 is in the process of the offset voltage storage stage and the offset voltage elimination stage, the second operational amplifier module 20 is in a normal working state. After the first operational amplifier module 10 completes the offset voltage elimination stage and enters the normal working state, the second operational amplifier module 20 enters the offset voltage storage stage and the offset voltage elimination stage from the normal working state. Based on this, it can be ensured that the operational amplifier modules that work normally in each clock cycle have extremely low offset voltages, thereby ensuring the continuity of the offset voltage elimination and ensuring that the sampling results of the current or voltage are not affected by the offset voltage.
[0072] The following specifically describes the various structures and working principles of the low offset voltage operational amplifier provided in the first embodiment.
[0073] Please refer to Figure 4As a specific implementation, the first offset voltage elimination unit 12 includes a first capacitor C1, a first PMOS transistor PM1, a second resistor R2, a first NMOS transistor NM1, and a second NMOS transistor NM2; a first end of the first capacitor C1 is coupled to the gate of the first PMOS transistor PM1 and serves as an input end of the first offset voltage elimination unit 12, and a second end of the first capacitor C1 and a second end of the second resistor R2 are both coupled to a power supply voltage VCS; a source of the first PMOS transistor PM1 is coupled to a first end of the second resistor R2, and a drain of the first PMOS transistor PM1 is coupled to a drain of the first NMOS transistor NM1; a gate of the first NMOS transistor NM1 is coupled to its own drain and to a gate of the second NMOS transistor NM2, a drain of the second NMOS transistor NM2 serves as an output end of the first offset voltage elimination unit 12, and a source of the second NMOS transistor NM2 and a source of the first NMOS transistor NM1 are both grounded.
[0074] The voltage output by the first operational amplifier unit 11 acts on the gate of the first PMOS transistor PM1, so that the first PMOS transistor PM1 generates a source-drain current. The formula of the source-drain current is specifically:
[0075] I DPM6 =g m *V C ; (1)
[0076] Among them, I DPM6 Used to characterize the source current of the first PMOS tube PM1; g m Used to characterize the transconductance of the first PMOS tube PM1; V C It is used to represent the voltage output by the first operational amplifier unit 11 .
[0077] Since the drain of the first NMOS tube NM1 is connected to the drain of the first PMOS tube PM1 and to its own gate. Therefore, the first NMOS tube NM1 is turned on by the source-drain current output by the first PMOS tube PM1, and the drain-source current flowing through the first NMOS tube NM1 is equal to the source current flowing through the first PMOS tube PM1. At the same time, the first NMOS tube NM1 and the second NMOS tube NM2 form a current mirror structure, so the drain-source current flowing through the first NMOS tube NM1 is proportionally mirrored to the second NMOS tube NM2. Among them, the ratio of the current mirror is specifically controlled by setting the ratio of the width-to-length ratio of the first NMOS tube NM1 and the second NMOS tube NM2. For example, the width-to-length ratio of the second NMOS tube NM2 is set to be four times the width-to-length ratio of the first NMOS tube NM1, and the drain-source current flowing through the second NMOS tube NM2 is equal to four times the drain-source current flowing through the first NMOS tube NM1. Of course, the specific ratio can be set according to actual needs and is not limited here.
[0078] As a specific implementation, the first operational amplifier unit 11 includes a first differential input unit, a first amplification path, a second amplification path, a first amplification output unit, and a first bias unit;
[0079] The in-phase input terminal of the first differential input unit is connected to the first input signal VISEN_IN, and the inverting input terminal of the first differential input unit is connected to the first input signal VISEN_IN through the second switch S2 or connected to the second input signal VBUFA through the first switch S1; the first end of the first amplification path is coupled to the first end of the first differential input unit; the first end of the second amplification path is coupled to the second end of the first differential input unit; the second end of the second amplification path is respectively coupled to the first bias end of the first amplification output unit and the output end of the first offset voltage elimination unit 12; the third end of the first differential input unit is coupled to the input end of the first bias unit, and the bias end of the first bias unit and the second bias end of the first amplification output unit are both connected to the bias voltage; the output end of the first amplification output unit serves as the output end of the first operational amplifier unit 11.

Specifically: theoretically, when the first operational amplifier unit 11 completes the feedback connection, due to the virtual short principle, the gate voltage of the third NMOS tube NM3 is equal to the gate voltage of the fourth NMOS tube NM4, so the first input signal VISEN_IN acting on the third NMOS tube NM3 is equal to the second input signal VBUFA acting on the fourth NMOS tube NM4. However, since there is an offset voltage at the gate of the fourth NMOS transistor NM4, when the gate voltage of the third NMOS transistor NM3 is equal to the gate voltage of the fourth NMOS transistor NM4, the first input signal VISEN_IN is not equal to the second input signal VBUFA but equal to the sum of the offset voltage and the second input signal VBUFA. Eliminating the offset voltage and making the first input signal VISEN_IN equal to the second input signal VBUFA is one of the purposes to be achieved in this embodiment.

[0107] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The following is a description of the working process of the low offset voltage operational amplifier provided in the first embodiment:
[0108] First, the first operational amplifier module 10 enters the offset voltage storage stage, and the second operational amplifier module 20 enters the normal working stage. The second switch S2 and the third switch S3 are both turned on, and the first switch S1 and the seventh switch S7 are both turned off; the fourth switch S4 and the eighth switch S8 are both turned on, and the fifth switch S5 and the sixth switch S6 are both turned off. It should be noted that since the second operational amplifier module 20 at this time has not gone through the offset voltage storage stage and the offset voltage elimination stage, the second operational amplifier module 20 in the normal working stage will be affected by the offset voltage. At this time, the voltage output by the first operational amplifier unit 11 acts on the gates of the first capacitor C1 and the first PMOS tube PM1. On the one hand, the first capacitor C1 is charged, and on the other hand, the first PMOS tube PM1 generates a source-drain current. The source current flows through the first NMOS tube NM1, and is proportionally mirrored to the second NMOS tube NM2 by the current mirror structure formed by the first NMOS tube NM1 and the second NMOS tube NM2 to generate the first offset compensation current. At this time, the current formula flowing through the second PMOS transistor PM2 and the current formula flowing through the fourth PMOS transistor PM4 are respectively:
[0109] I DNM6 +I DNM4 =I DPM2 ; (2)
[0110] I DNM7 +I DNM2 +IDNM3 = I DPM4 ; (3)
[0111] I DPM1 = I DPM2 ; (4)

[0113] Meanwhile, the gate voltage formulas of the third NMOS transistor NM3 and the fourth NMOS transistor NM4 are respectively:
[0114] V G2 = V ISEV_IN ; (5)
[0115] V G3 = V os1 + V ISEN_IN ; (6)
[0116] wherein, V G2 is used to represent the gate voltage of the third NMOS transistor NM3; V G3 is used to represent the gate voltage of the fourth NMOS transistor NM4; V ISEN_IN is used to represent the first input signal VISEN_IN; V os1 is used to represent the offset voltage.
[0117] The current formulas of the current flowing through the third NMOS transistor NM3 and the current flowing through the fourth NMOS transistor NM4 are respectively:
[0118]
[0119]
[0120] wherein; V s is used to represent the source voltage of the third NMOS transistor NM3 and the fourth NMOS transistor NM4; V thIt is used to characterize the threshold voltage of the third NMOS tube NM3 and the fourth NMOS tube NM4.
[0121] Then, after the first operational amplifier module 10 enters the offset voltage elimination stage, the second operational amplifier module 20 still works in the normal working stage. The second switch S2 and the third switch S3 are both turned off, and the first switch S1 and the seventh switch S7 are both turned on; the fourth switch S4 and the eighth switch S8 are still turned on, and the fifth switch S5 and the sixth switch S6 are still turned off. Due to the turning off of the third switch S3 and the turning on of the seventh switch S7, the output voltage of the first operational amplifier unit 11 no longer acts on the gate of the first PMOS tube PM1, but acts on the gate of the thirteenth PMOS tube PM13. At this time, the voltage stored in the first capacitor C1 is equal to the output voltage of the first operational amplifier unit 11 in the offset voltage storage stage, and because the capacitor voltage will not change suddenly, the gate voltage acting on the first PMOS tube PM1 will not change, the current flowing through the first PMOS tube PM1 will not change, and thus the first offset compensation current will not change. If the first offset compensation current does not change, and the current flowing through the second PMOS tube PM2, the current flowing through the fourth PMOS tube PM4, the current flowing through the sixth NMOS tube NM6, and the current flowing through the seventh NMOS tube NM7 do not change, then according to the above formula (2) and formula (3), the current flowing through the third NMOS tube NM3 and the current flowing through the fourth NMOS tube NM4 do not change. If the current flowing through the third NMOS tube NM3 and the current flowing through the fourth NMOS tube NM4 do not change, then according to the above formula (7) and formula (8), the gate voltage of the third NMOS tube NM3 and the gate voltage of the fourth NMOS tube NM4 will not change. At this time, the gate voltage formula of the fourth NMOS tube NM4 is:
[0122] V G3 '=V os1 +V BUFA ; (9)
[0123] Among them, V BUFA Used to characterize the second input signal VBUFA.
[0124] Since formula (9) is equal to formula (8), the first input signal VISEN_IN is equal to the second input signal VBUFA. Therefore, the second input signal VBUFA connected to the first end of the fourth resistor R4 is equivalent to the first input signal VISEN_IN, so that the input signal of the first operational amplifier module 10 is equal to the output signal. That is, the first output current formula flowing through the fourth resistor R4 is:
[0125]
[0126] At the same time, in this stage, the second control signal AH and the fifth control signal BH are low level and high level respectively. Because the second control signal AH and the third control signal AL are inverted signals, and the fifth control signal BH and the sixth control signal BL are inverted signals, the seventeenth PMOS tube PM17 and the twentieth PMOS tube PM20 are both turned on, and the eighteenth PMOS tube PM18 and the nineteenth PMOS tube PM19 are both turned off. Then, the first output current flowing through the fourth resistor R4 flows to the ground, and the second output current flowing through the fifth resistor R5 flows to the first resistor R1, so as to generate the second output voltage and output it.
[0127] Then, the first operational amplifier module 10 enters the normal working stage, and the second operational amplifier module 20 enters the offset voltage storage stage. The second switch S2 and the third switch S3 are still turned off, and the first switch S1 and the seventh switch S7 are still turned on; the fourth switch S4 and the eighth switch S8 are turned off, and the fifth switch S5 and the sixth switch S6 are turned on. Since the circuit structure of the second operational amplifier module 20 is the same as that of the first operational amplifier module 10, the working principle of the second operational amplifier module 20 in the offset voltage storage stage is the same as that of the first operational amplifier module 10, which will not be repeated here.
[0128] Finally, the first operational amplifier module 10 is still in the normal working stage, and the second operational amplifier module 20 enters the offset voltage elimination stage. The second switch S2 and the third switch S3 are still turned off, the first switch S1 and the seventh switch S7 are still turned on; the fourth switch S4 and the eighth switch S8 are both turned on, and the fifth switch S5 and the sixth switch S6 are both turned off. Since the circuit structure of the second operational amplifier module 20 is the same as that of the first operational amplifier module 10, the working principle of the second operational amplifier module 20 in the offset voltage elimination stage is the same as that of the first operational amplifier module 10, which will not be repeated here.
[0129] At this point, the low offset voltage operational amplifier provided by the first embodiment has completed the first cycle of the working process, and then the above working process is continuously repeated to achieve that the input end of the operational amplifier has an extremely low offset voltage in other cycles except the first half of the first cycle.
[0130] In summary, the low offset voltage operational amplifier provided by the first embodiment of the present invention, on the one hand, stores and accurately offsets the offset voltage existing in the first operational amplifier unit and the offset voltage existing in the second operational amplifier unit through the first offset voltage elimination unit and the second offset voltage elimination unit, so as to eliminate the error caused by the offset voltage to the first output current unit and the second output current unit to generate the first output current and the second output current respectively. On the other hand, by controlling the on and off of the switch, the first operational amplifier module and the second operational amplifier module are controlled to be alternately in different working stages. If the first operational amplifier module is in the offset voltage storage stage and the offset voltage elimination stage in sequence, the second operational amplifier module is in the normal working stage; if the second operational amplifier module is in the offset voltage storage stage and the offset voltage elimination stage in sequence, the first operational amplifier module is in the normal working stage. In this way, it can be ensured that the input end of the operational amplifier module in the normal working state in each clock cycle has an extremely low offset voltage, thereby ensuring the continuity of the offset voltage elimination. At the same time, it can be seen from the above description that the technical solution provided by the present invention will not be limited by the frequency of the input signal in the process of offsetting the offset voltage, thereby increasing the application scope of the present invention.
[0131] A second embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic device, comprising the operational amplifier with low offset voltage provided by the first embodiment of the present invention.
[0132] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
