Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of analog-to-digital converter design, and in particular relates to a PVT-stable successive approximation analog-to-digital converter. Background Art
[0002] With the advancement of process technology, successive approximation analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are becoming increasingly important in high-speed applications. Their successive approximation timing uses asynchronous logic timing to increase conversion speed and avoid high-speed clocks. However, because asynchronous timing implements delays through logic circuits, timing can vary significantly across PVT (process angle, power supply voltage, and temperature). The difference in conversion time between the slowest and fastest cases can be as much as 100%. This can easily lead to insufficient total conversion time in the slowest case and excessive logic delay in the fastest case, resulting in insufficient settling time for the switched capacitor DAC (digital-to-analog converter) in the ADC. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention aims to provide a PVT-stable successive approximation analog-to-digital converter that automatically detects the remaining conversion time and adjusts the delay to achieve compatibility with both the fastest and slowest cases. This solves the problem in which, in traditional designs, in order to accommodate both the fastest and slowest cases, the slowest case will just use up the entire conversion time, adding additional power consumption and decoupling capacitors to the switch capacitor DAC drive and reference level generation circuits to compensate for the switch capacitor DAC settling time in the fastest case, and resulting in a significant increase in the area and power consumption of the entire analog-to-digital converter.

This adds extra power and decoupling capacitors to the switch-capacitor DAC driver and reference level generation circuits to compensate for the settling time in the fastest case. This significantly increases the area and power consumption of the entire ADC.

The D output of I13 is connected to the Q input of I13 and the CK terminal of D flip-flop I15 via inverter I14. The D output of I15 is connected to the Q input of I15, the CK terminal of D flip-flop I17, and one input of NOR gate I19 via inverter I16. The D output of I17 is connected to the Q input of I17 and the other input of NOR gate I19 via inverter I18. The reset terminals (R) of I11, I13, I15, and I17 are all connected to cnt_rst. The input clock line (ckdff) is connected to the CK terminal of D flip-flop I25. The D terminal of I25 is connected to the signal ckcnt0, which is connected to the Q terminal of I25 and the CK terminal of D flip-flop I27 via inverter I26. The D-terminal output of I27 is connected to signal ckcnt1, which is then connected to the Q-terminal of I27 and the CK-terminal of D-type flip-flop I29 via inverter I28. The D-terminal output of I29 is connected to signal ckcnt2, which is then connected to the Q-terminal of I29 and the CK-terminal of D-type flip-flop I31 via inverter I30. The D-terminal output of I31 is connected to signal ckcnt3, which is then connected to the Q-terminal of I31 and the CK-terminal of D-type flip-flop I33 via inverter I32. The D-terminal output of I33 is connected to signal ckcnt4, which is then connected to the Q-terminal of I33 via inverter I34. Signals ckcnt0 and ckcnt1 are connected to the two inputs of NAND gate I37, respectively. Signals ckcnt2 and ckcnt3 are connected to the two inputs of NAND gate I38, respectively. The outputs of I37 and I38 are connected to the two inputs of NOR gate I39, respectively. The output of I39 and the input clock ckdff are connected to the two inputs of AND gate I40, respectively. The reset terminals of I25, I27, I29, I31, and I33 are all connected to the cnt_rst signal. ckcnt4 is connected to the input A of delay unit I35, and then to one of the inputs of OR gate I36 via its output O. The other input of I36 is connected to rst_syn, and the output of I36 is connected to the cnt_rst signal. The output of I19 is connected to the Q terminal of D-type flip-flop I20. The output of I40 is connected to the CK terminal of I20. The output D of I20 is connected to the Q terminal of D-type flip-flop I21. The D terminal of I21 is connected to the A terminal of adder I22, and the CK terminal of I21 is connected to the input signal ck. The reset terminals R of I20 and I21 are both connected to rst_syn. The original delay control signal dly_in<2:0> is input to the B terminals of adders I24, I23, and I22, respectively. The CO terminal of I22 is connected to the A terminal of I23, and the CO terminal of I23 is connected to the CO terminal of I24.The S terminals of I22, I23, and I24 are connected to the input terminals of OR gates I41, I42, and I43, respectively. The CO terminal of I24 is connected to the other input terminals of I41, I42, and I43. The output terminals of I43, I42, and I41 respectively output the delay control signal dly_out<2:0>.
[0026] The timing is as follows: the input clock ckdff has the same frequency and phase as the analog-to-digital converter sampling clock. The input clock ckdff is high during the sampling phase and low during the conversion phase. The entire successive approximation conversion process is the same as the traditional structure, obtaining n results of successive comparisons from I5 to I8. The output signal EN of EN_N of the last successive approximation unit I8 is <n>The change from 0 to 1 marks the end of the successive approximation conversion. <n>The time from the high level to the next sampling is different. In most PVT cases, EN <n>There is still a certain amount of redundancy until the next sampling clock high level. When there is still time from the rising edge of finish_dly to the next sampling high level, it means that the redundancy time is still sufficient under this PVT situation. The original input delay control signal dly_in<2:0> is increased through the delay adjustment circuit. In the present invention, 1 gear is added, and 2 gears or more can also be added. Similarly, the input delay control signal dly_in<2:0> can also be increased to more than 3 bits or reduced to 2 bits or even 1 bit. The delay control signal dly_out<2:0> after the gear is increased is input into the delay circuit IDLY to increase the time of each conversion. It is ensured that the added delay time of n times is less than the delay of I9. At the same time, the delay adjustment circuit is adjusted based on the sampling result of the analog-to-digital converter, so it can work in the background of the analog-to-digital converter without affecting the normal operation of the analog-to-digital converter.
[0027] The present invention automatically detects the redundant time after each successive approximation conversion is completed through a delay adjustment circuit working in the background. When the redundant time is large enough, it will be counted in the delay adjustment circuit. When the redundant time for most conversions is sufficient, the delay adjustment circuit will increase the gear of the delay control signal, so that the redundant time after the conversion is completed is reduced. This method can alleviate the settling pressure of the switched capacitor DAC under fast PVT conditions, thereby reducing the driving pressure of the switched capacitor DAC and the power consumption of the reference level generation circuit.
