Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of common - mode feedback, and particularly to a common - mode feedback circuit and a differential amplifier having the common - mode feedback circuit. Background Art

[0002] In the application of differential output amplifiers, due to mismatches, the common - mode signal shows a significant offset and cannot be stabilized through differential - mode feedback. Therefore, a common - mode feedback circuit is required. Especially in practical applications, the gain - bandwidth product of the common - mode feedback circuit should generally be the same as that of the differential - mode feedback circuit, so as to be able to respond quickly to signals, especially in single - ended - to - differential applications. However, it is very difficult for traditional common - mode feedback circuits to achieve the same speed as differential - mode feedback circuits. Even if it can be achieved, it requires high power consumption, and in some cases, the power consumption of the common - mode feedback circuit even exceeds that of the main amplifier. And some low - power common - mode feedback circuits are very slow and cannot freely adjust the common - mode level.

[0003] To solve the above problems, a common - mode feedback circuit based on MOS in the linear region can generally be used, which can reuse the main op - amp current and save power consumption. However, limited by the output common - mode level, only MOS in the linear region can be used. Therefore, the speed of the common - mode feedback circuit is not as fast as that of the differential - mode loop, and this circuit cannot freely adjust the output common - mode level.

[0004] Therefore, a new type of common - mode feedback circuit is needed, which can use a level - shift module to realize a high - regulation and low - power - consumption high - speed common - mode feedback circuit. A common - mode feedback circuit with the same bandwidth as the differential signal or even a larger bandwidth can be realized with extremely low power consumption, and the common - mode level can be adjusted arbitrarily.

[0050] Common-Mode Feedback (CMFB) is a technique used in analog circuit design to stabilize the common-mode voltage of a fully differential amplifier. Its core purpose is to ensure that the common-mode level of the circuit output (i.e., the average of the two differential output signals) remains stable, avoiding circuit operating point shifts caused by factors such as process variations, temperature changes, or power supply fluctuations, which could affect performance or cause distortion.

[0051] Refer to Figure 1 , which shows a block diagram of a common-mode feedback circuit according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the common-mode feedback circuit can be applicable to various feedback forms, either in-phase feedback or anti-phase feedback, and includes a sampling circuit and an amplifier circuit. The sampling circuit includes a first input terminal, a second input terminal, and a first output terminal, where the first input terminal receives the first differential signal Voutp, and the second input terminal receives the second differential signal Voutn. In different embodiments, the common-mode sampling circuit can be implemented in various ways, such as resistor sampling or follower sampling.

[0052] The common-mode feedback circuit further includes a level shift module connected between the sampling circuit and the amplifier circuit. The level shift module includes a third input terminal, a fourth input terminal, and a second output terminal. The third input terminal is connected to the first output terminal and receives the common-mode signal VCMS output by the sampling circuit. The fourth input terminal receives a reference common-mode signal VOCM. The level shift module adjusts the common-mode of the common-mode signal VCMS and the reference common-mode signal VOCM so that the second output terminal outputs the common-mode feedback signal VCMFB processed by the level shift module.

[0053] Through the above scheme, the common-mode signal VCMS can be shifted to the required common-mode feedback signal VCMFB, and the value of the level shift is affected by the reference common-mode signal VOCM. In other words, the reference common-mode signal VOCM is the common-mode signal that the amplifier circuit needs to achieve, which can be directly provided externally or generated internally. The amplifier circuit includes a fifth input terminal, which is connected to the second output terminal and receives the common-mode feedback signal VCMFB.

[0054] Since the finally generated common-mode feedback signal VCMFB is fed back into the amplifier circuit, the common-mode signals of the required first differential signal Voutp and second differential signal Voutn are the reference common-mode signal VOCM. And the feedback loop is an in-phase circuit. Since the level shift module and the sampling circuit do not introduce additional poles, the stability of the common-mode feedback loop is easily achieved. At the same time, since the amplifier circuit is reused and the transistors in the amplifier circuit can also be in the amplification region, the gain-bandwidth product of the common-mode circuit can be made the same as that of the amplifier circuit.

[0055] With the above-described embodiments, the circuit can adjust the output common mode by adjusting the value of the reference common mode signal V OCM, and is not affected by process corners, temperature, and power supply voltage, having good robustness.

[0056] Further, referring to Figure 2 , a framework diagram of a common mode feedback circuit according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. When it is necessary to invert the reference common mode signal V OCM and the common mode signal V CMS, an inverting amplifier can be used. Specifically, the level shift module includes: an inverting amplifier having a third input terminal, a fourth input terminal, and a third output terminal. After receiving the common mode signal V CMS and the reference common mode signal V OCM, the inverting amplifier inverts the common mode signal V CMS and the reference common mode signal V OCM to generate an inverted signal V 01; a level shift circuit having a sixth input terminal and a second output terminal, and the sixth input terminal is connected to the third output terminal to receive the inverted signal V 01.

[0057] Wherein, after processing the inverted signal V 01 in the level shift circuit, a common mode feedback signal V CMFB can also be generated to the amplifier circuit. The circuit structure of the inverting common mode feedback is similar to that of the non-inverting common mode feedback. By adding an inverting amplifier in the level shift module, the inverting function is realized, and the others are the same. Although there will be an additional relatively high-frequency pole in the feedback path of the inverting circuit, the stability will be slightly affected, but compared with the traditional common mode feedback, high-speed applications can still be achieved.

[0058] As described above, there are various implementation manners for the sampling circuit and the level shift module. In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , one of the implementation manners is shown. Specifically, the sampling circuit includes: a first resistor R s , one end of which is connected to the first input terminal to receive the first differential signal V outp; a second resistor R s , one end of which is connected to the second input terminal to receive the second differential signal V outn. The one end of the first resistor R s and the one end of the second resistor R s can be commonly connected to a voltage source. The other end of the first resistor R s and the other end of the second resistor R s are connected and are connected to the third input terminal to input the common mode signal V CMS to the third input terminal. Through the above sampling circuit, the common mode signals of V OUTP and the second differential signal V outn are sampled by two resistors R s to obtain the common mode signal V CMS.

[0059] Further, the level shift module includes: a first PNP transistor, the emitter of the first PNP transistor is connected to a voltage source, and the collector is connected to the third input terminal to receive the common mode signal VCMS; a second PNP transistor, the emitter of the second PNP transistor is connected to the voltage source; an operational amplifier (for example, it can be a low-speed and high-precision operational amplifier), the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier is connected to the fourth input terminal to receive the reference common mode signal VOCM, the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier is connected to the collector of the second PNP transistor, and the seventh output terminal of the operational amplifier is respectively connected to the base of the first PNP transistor and the base of the second PNP transistor. Through the design of the feedback loop, a part of the output signal is fed back to the non-inverting input terminal, thereby controlling the output signal and changing the gain of the operational amplifier until the positive phase signal Vfb input to the non-inverting input terminal is equal to the reference common mode signal VOCM input to the inverting input terminal. In other words, by virtue of the virtual short and virtual open characteristics of the operational amplifier, through the implementation of the entire negative feedback process, the voltage at the inverting input terminal is pulled down until it is close enough to the voltage at the non-inverting input terminal, and when it is close enough to be considered equal, it enters the steady state. Of course, there will be the characteristic of virtual short at this time.

[0060] Further, the level shift module further includes: a third resistor R LS , one end of which is connected to the collector of the first PNP transistor, and the other end is connected to the second output terminal; a fourth resistor R LS , one end of which is connected to the collector of the second PNP transistor; a first NPN transistor, the collector of the first NPN transistor is connected to the second output terminal, the base is connected to the other end of the fourth resistor R LS , and the emitter is grounded; a second NPN transistor, the collector of the second NPN transistor is connected to the other end of the fourth resistor R LS , the base is connected to the other end of the fourth resistor R LS , and the emitter is grounded. With the above configuration, the level shift is achieved by using the third resistor R LS and the fourth resistor R LS to translate the common mode signal VCMS to obtain the common mode feedback signal VCMFB. In other words, when the size configurations of the first PNP transistor and the second PNP transistor are the same, the current I1 flowing through the third resistor R LS and the current I2 flowing through the fourth resistor R LS are made equal by the operational amplifier.

[0061] More specifically, with the above configuration, it is made such that , because , and , the value of the common mode signal VCMS finally obtained is: Among them, VCMFB-VD is the common-mode offset voltage. As long as the current densities of the first NPN transistor and the second NPN transistor are controlled to be the same, this value is approximately 0, thus achieving the purpose of VCMS = VOCM.

[0062] In a preferred embodiment, the first PNP transistor, the second PNP transistor, the first NPN transistor, and the second NPN transistor can be configured to have the same size, that is, the same package height, package width, pin pitch, etc.

[0063] In another preferred embodiment, the level shift module further includes: a first feed-forward capacitor C LS , connected in parallel across the third resistor R LS . The amplifier circuit includes: a second feed-forward capacitor C S , connected in parallel across the first resistor R s ; a third feed-forward capacitor C S , connected in parallel across the second resistor R s . With the first feed-forward capacitor C LS , the second feed-forward capacitor C S , and the third feed-forward capacitor C S , the sampling circuit and the level shift module do not need to introduce additional poles. In other words, there is only one low-frequency pole in the entire common-mode feedback loop in this example, which is the output pole of the main loop, approximately a single-pole system, and there is no stability problem. The amplifier circuit includes: a third NPN transistor, the base of the third NPN transistor is connected to a voltage source VIN, and the collector is connected to the first input terminal; a fourth NPN transistor, the base of the fourth NPN transistor is connected to a voltage source VIP, and the collector is connected to the second input terminal; a fifth NPN transistor, the base of the fifth NPN transistor is connected to the fifth input terminal, and the collector is connected to the emitters of the third NPN transistor and the fourth NPN transistor, and the emitter is grounded. The gain-bandwidth product GBW is determined by the tail current source transistor of the amplifier circuit. If the current densities of all NPN transistors are the same, then the GBW of the common-mode loop is equal to the GBW of the differential-mode loop.

[0064] With the above configuration, the power consumption of the entire common-mode feedback loop is only the currents I1 and I2 in the level shift module and the power consumption of the operational amplifier, and the power consumption of the low-speed operational amplifier can reach the nA level and can basically be ignored. The magnitudes of the currents I1 and I2 in the level shift module depend on the values of the third resistor R LS and the fourth resistor R LS . When the values of the third resistor R LS and the fourth resistor R LS are very large, the currents I1 and I2 in the level shift module are also much smaller than the current of the amplifier circuit. When the transistor is a MOS transistor, the third resistor R LS and the fourth resistor RLS The value can reach the MΩ level, and the current can be as small as the μA level. While the current of the operational amplifier is at the mA level, so the power consumption of the entire common-mode feedback loop is extremely low.
