Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a precision operational amplifier with ping-pong auto-zero loop ripple suppression, belonging to the field of integrated circuit technology. Background Art

[0002] Operational amplifiers with low noise and low offset are key components in high-precision systems such as the front-end sampling of sensor circuits, high-precision reference buffers, and ADC drivers. To meet the requirements of high-precision systems, the mismatch voltage must be reduced to the microvolt level, the temperature drift of the mismatch voltage must be reduced, and low in-band noise must be achieved in the circuit. Traditional precision operational amplifier technologies include chopper technology and auto-zero technology, each with its own advantages and limitations. Chopper technology does not introduce low-frequency noise aliasing, but it generates significant output ripple, resulting in an excessive output offset voltage. On the other hand, although auto-zero technology generates the minimum output ripple, it causes low-frequency noise aliasing. In comparison, chopper technology has been more widely used due to its advantages in reducing low-frequency noise and improving power efficiency.

[0003] In addition, the academic and industrial communities have been actively researching methods to suppress the ripple of chopper circuits to reduce the mismatch voltage of precision operational amplifiers. Among them, the auto-calibrated feedback loop technology (ACFB technology) is widely used. The ACFB technology can effectively suppress the mismatch voltage in the low-frequency path. However, due to loop delay and clock skew, the offset voltage of the ACFB itself will cause output ripple. In addition, the offset voltage in the high-frequency path will cause a DC offset at the sampling node of the ACFB, resulting in greater output ripple and higher output offset voltage. Some scholars choose to trim the amplifier offset voltage to eliminate the offset ripple, but this will increase the complexity of circuit design, and the trimming process will also lead to an increase in cost. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a precision operational amplifier with ping-pong auto-zero loop ripple suppression, which uses the auto-zero technology to eliminate the offset voltage of the ripple suppression loop itself, and the remaining offset is filtered by a chopper and a filter.

[0022] The non-inverting input terminal of the high-pass filter HPF is connected to the inverting input terminal of the second transconductance amplifier Gm2, and the inverting input terminal is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the second transconductance amplifier Gm2; the non-inverting and inverting output terminals of the high-pass filter HPF are connected to the input terminal of the fifth a transconductance amplifier Gm5a through the first switch unit AZ1, and at the same time, the non-inverting and inverting output terminals of the high-pass filter HPF are connected to the input terminal of the fifth b transconductance amplifier Gm5b through the first switch unit AZ1; the non-inverting and inverting output terminals of the fifth a transconductance amplifier Gm5a are connected to the input terminal of the third chopper Chop3 through the second switch unit AZ2, and the non-inverting and inverting output terminals of the fifth b transconductance amplifier Gm5b are connected to the input terminal of the third chopper Chop3 through the second switch unit AZ2, and the output terminal of the third chopper Chop3 is connected to the non-inverting and inverting input terminals of the sixth transconductance amplifier Gm6; the non-inverting output terminal of the sixth transconductance amplifier Gm6 is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the seventh transconductance amplifier Gm7 through the filter SC_NF, and the inverting output terminal of the sixth transconductance amplifier Gm6 is connected to the inverting input terminal of the seventh transconductance amplifier Gm7 through the filter SC_NF; a fifth integration capacitor Cint1 is connected between the inverting input terminal and the non-inverting output terminal of the sixth transconductance amplifier Gm6, and a sixth integration capacitor Cint2 is connected between the non-inverting input terminal and the inverting output terminal of the sixth transconductance amplifier Gm6; the non-inverting and inverting outputs of the seventh transconductance amplifier Gm7 are fed back to the first transconductance amplifier Gm1.

The positive and negative outputs of the first auto-zero amplifier Gmaz1 are fed back to the fifth a transconductance amplifier Gm5a.

The positive and negative outputs of the first auto-zero amplifier Gmaz1 are fed back to the fifth b transconductance amplifier Gm5b.

[0025] The main part of the operational amplifier is a three-stage Miller compensation circuit with a feed-forward stage (Gm4). The ripple suppression loop mainly suppresses the offset and ripple introduced by the low-frequency path. The timing diagram of the overall operation of the circuit is as Figure 2 shown, and the operation process and working principle are as follows:

[0026] First, the input chopper (Chop1) modulates the input signal to the chopping frequency, and then Gm1 amplifies the input offset voltage Vos1.

[0027] Second, the second-stage chopper (Chop2) modulates the output signal of Gm1 to demodulate the input signal back to the DC signal. Conversely, the offset voltage of Gm1 is modulated to the chopping frequency.

[0028] Third, the high-pass filter isolates the DC signal while transmitting the AC signal. Therefore, the high-frequency AC signal generated by Vos1 at the output terminal of Chop2 (Vsample) is transmitted to the auto-zero circuit of the AZCFB loop and amplified by Gm5a and Gm5b.

[0029] Fourth, the auto-zero circuit can eliminate the offset voltage existing in itself. In addition, the AC signal will be amplified by Gm5a and Gm5b and modulated back to the DC signal by the third-stage chopper (Chop3). The DC output signal of Chop3 is amplified by Gm6 and then filtered by the switched-capacitor notch filter (SC_NF) to generate a clean DC offset correction voltage (Vcorr) for Gm1.

[0030] Finally, Gm7 corrects the offset voltage of Gm1, reducing the output ripple caused by the offset voltage.

[0031] The periods of the first switching unit AZ1 and the second switching unit AZ2 are the same, the periods of the first chopper Chop1, the second chopper Chop2, the third chopper Chop3, and the filter SC_NF are the same, and the period of the first switching unit AZ1 is 1 / 2 of the period of the first chopper Chop1. When using the ripple suppression loop, it is necessary to ensure that the loop gain is large enough, at least greater than 80 dB. Considering the loop stability requirements, the AZCFB loop bandwidth can be set to 100 KHz and below.

[0032] Figure 3 This is the internal connection relationship and switching timing diagram of the ping-pong auto-zero circuit proposed by the present invention, including transconductance amplifiers Gm5a, Gmaz1, Gm5b, Gmaz2, and switches S1 to S16. For the auto-zero loop, Figure 3 The power consumption ratios of Gm5a,b and Gmaz1,2 in the loop need to be reasonably adjusted so that the potentials at the input ports of Gmaz1,2 are not saturated. The residual offset voltage of the auto-zero loop is as follows:

[0033]

[0034] Using the auto-zero technology can reduce the offset voltage by A vAz times. In addition, the residual offset voltage will be modulated into a high-frequency signal by Chop3 and then filtered by a switched-capacitor notch filter (SC_NF) to further reduce the ripple introduced by the first stage of the AZCFB loop. Better elimination of the offset voltage can reduce the transistor size and power consumption of the auto-zero circuit.

[0035] Figure 4 This is the structural diagram of the high-pass filter proposed by the present invention, including a buffer with its input terminal connected to the common-mode signal VCM, capacitors C1, C2, and resistors R1, R2. The resistors R1, R2 of the high-pass filter need to be large enough, as shown in the following formula:

[0036]

[0037] When the chopping frequency is 200 kHz and the capacitance is 2 pF, the capacitance impedance is close to 398 kΩ. Therefore, a resistor much larger than the capacitor impedance is required. In addition, to ensure the stability of the input operating points of Gm5a and Gm5b, it is necessary to provide a stable common-mode voltage on the resistor side. As Figure 4 shown, a buffer is used to provide a stable DC voltage for the high-pass filter, ensuring that the input DC operating points of Gm5a and Gm5b remain stable near VCM.

[0038] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical idea of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention cannot be limited thereby. Any modification made on the basis of the technical solution according to the technical idea proposed by the present invention falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
