Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of analog integrated circuits, and in particular relates to a single-ended to differential amplifier with a high power supply rejection ratio. Background Art

[0002] In the field of audio power amplifier chips, in order to ensure the quality of the output audio signal, the audio amplifier is usually required to have a high power supply rejection ratio and anti-interference ability. Taking Class D amplifier as an example, Figure 1 In the fully differential audio power amplifier circuit shown, the input stage A1 is used for the first-stage amplification of the differential signal. The amplified differential signal is subjected to noise shaping and PWM modulation by the intermediate stage A2, and then passes through the driver stage A3 to drive the speaker. Figure 2 In the single-ended input audio power amplifier circuit shown, the input stage A1 converts the single-ended signal into a differential signal and performs a first-stage amplification. The amplified differential signal undergoes noise shaping and PWM modulation by the intermediate stage A2, and then is output by the driver stage A3 to drive the speaker.

[0003] Fully differential audio power amplifiers offer high power supply rejection ratios and interference immunity, making them popular in professional amplifiers. However, their interfaces are relatively complex and their cost is high. Most consumer audio equipment outputs signals in a single-ended format, making single-ended input power amplifiers directly compatible, reducing circuit complexity and cost.

[0004] In the single-ended input audio power amplifier circuit, the traditional single-ended to differential amplifier has a low PSRR. When used as the audio power amplifier input stage, it seriously reduces the single-ended input audio power amplifier's ability to suppress power supply ripple and interference. Figure 3 The figure shows a conventional single-ended-to-differential amplifier circuit, comprising a first-stage inverting amplifier 100, a second-stage inverting amplifier 101, and a bandgap reference BG. The first-stage inverting amplifier 100 includes an operational amplifier OP1, feedback resistors R1 and R2, a signal input terminal IN, a reference voltage terminal VREF, and a signal output terminal OUTN. The second-stage inverting amplifier 101 includes an operational amplifier OP2, feedback resistors R3 and R4, a signal input terminal OUTN, a reference voltage terminal VREF, and a signal output terminal OUTP. The bandgap reference BG receives an enable signal EN and outputs a reference voltage signal VREF. Figure 3 The amplification factor of the first stage inverting amplifier 100 is -R2 / R1, and the amplification factor of the second stage inverting amplifier 101 is -R4 / R3. Ideally, the bandgap reference BG provides a stable reference voltage VREF.

[0005] When the input signal of the single-ended to differential amplifier circuit is VIN, after being amplified by the first-stage inverting amplifier 100, the output signal OUTN is: After OUTN is amplified by the second-stage inverting amplifier 101, the output signal OUTP is: Usually, the feedback resistor R3=R4, so the differential output signal OUT of the single-ended to differential amplifier circuit is: In the above traditional circuit, once an interference signal appears on VREF, the interference signal will be amplified and superimposed on the output signal. The analysis is as follows:

[0006] When there is ripple or interference on the power line, interference signals appear on the output reference voltage VREF of the bandgap reference. This introduces a ripple signal vripple into the positive input VREF of the first-stage inverting amplifier 100 and the second-stage inverting amplifier 101. The ripple signal vripple is amplified by the first-stage inverting amplifier 100 and superimposed on the output OUTN, resulting in a ripple signal vripple_outn: After being amplified by the second-stage inverting amplifier 101, the ripple signal vripple_outp superimposed on the output OUTP is: ; Let the feedback resistor R3 = R4, so the differential output ripple signal vripple_vout of the above traditional single-ended to differential amplifier circuit is: In the differential output signal of the above-mentioned traditional single-ended to differential amplifier circuit, in addition to the amplified signal of the input signal VIN, the amplified signal of the interference ripple signal vripple on the reference voltage is also superimposed. Figure 3 The traditional single-ended to differential amplifier circuit described above has no suppression effect on the interference on the reference voltage and has weak suppression capability for circuit power supply ripple and interference.

[0007] Therefore, in traditional single-ended-to-differential amplifiers, the positive input reference voltage is provided by a bandgap reference. If the bandgap reference voltage fluctuates due to power supply ripple or other interference, the fluctuation will be directly amplified by the amplifier and superimposed on the output signal. If a traditional single-ended-to-differential amplifier is used in the input stage of a single-ended audio amplifier, it will seriously affect the performance of the audio amplifier.

[0039] like Figure 6 The embodiment of the present invention is shown as above Figure 4The specific circuit structure principle diagram of the delay unit delay, the delay unit delay includes D flip-flops DFF1, DFF2, DFF3, AND gate AND1, enable input terminal EN, clock signal CLK, and delay output terminal delay_out. In the delay unit delay, the enable input terminal EN is connected to the reset port Reset of the D flip-flops DFF1, DFF2, and DFF3.

[0040] like Figure 7 The figure shows the signal timing diagram of the delay unit after the enable signal EN is powered on. The D flip-flops DFF1, DFF2, and DFF3 are triggered by the falling edge. When the enable signal EN is at a low level, the in-phase output terminals Q1, Q2, and Q3 of the D flip-flops DFF1, DFF2, and DFF3 are set to 0, and the in-phase output terminals Q1, Q2, and Q3 are set to 0. 、 、 Set to 1. When the enable signal EN is at a high level, the delay unit delay starts timing, and after the timing is completed, the delay unit delay output terminal delay_out outputs a high level.

[0041] above Figure 4 In the single-ended to differential amplifier of the embodiment of the present invention, the specific circuit structure of the buffer BUF1 and the delay unit delay is not limited to Figure 6 、 Figure 7 The circuit structure shown in the figure can also be replaced by other common buffer and delay unit circuit structures without affecting Figure 4 The function and use of the single-ended to differential amplifier of the present invention.

[0042] The present invention also includes the following working principle:

[0043] like Figure 8Figure 1 shows the internal signals and circuit operating states of the single-ended-to-differential amplifier of the present invention. In the high-PSRR single-ended-to-differential amplifier circuit, the enable signal EN is active when it is high. When the enable signal EN is low, the single-ended-to-differential amplifier circuit is inoperative; when the enable signal EN is high, the single-ended-to-differential amplifier circuit is operational.

[0044] After the enable signal EN passes through the delay unit delay, a delay signal EN_delay is generated to control the on and off of the PMOS tube PM1; when EN_delay is low, PM1 is turned on, and when EN_delay is high, PM1 is turned off. Therefore, after the circuit is powered on, the PM1 enable signal EN jumps from low to high, and PM1 is turned on first and then turned off. The on time is determined by the delay unit.

[0045] When the enable signal EN jumps from low to high, the bandgap reference BG begins operating and outputs the reference voltage VREF. At this point, PM1 is in the on state. The reference voltage VREF charges capacitor C1 through buffer BUF1, making the voltage VREF1 on capacitor C1 equal to the reference voltage VREF. Subsequently, after the high level of the enable signal EN is delayed by the delay unit, the EN_delay signal jumps from low to high, turning PM1 off. The voltage VREF1 maintains the same VREF value. The single-ended-to-differential amplifier circuit can then perform normal signal amplification.

[0046] The output reference voltage VERF of the bandgap reference BG, after passing through an RC filter circuit consisting of resistor R5 and capacitor C2, serves as the power supply for current mirror circuit 202. The drain of PMOS transistor PM3 in current mirror circuit 202 is connected to capacitor C1. When PMOS transistor PM1 is turned off, the weak current provided by current mirror circuit 202 maintains the voltage of capacitor C1 at reference voltage VREF.

[0047] Figure 4 The amplification factor of the first stage inverting amplifier 200 is -R2 / R1, and the amplification factor of the second stage inverting amplifier 201 is -R4 / R3. When the input signal of the single-ended to differential amplifier circuit is VIN, after amplification by the first stage inverting amplifier 200, the output signal OUTN is: ;

[0048] After OUTN is amplified by the second-stage inverting amplifier 201, the output signal OUTP is: ;

[0049] Usually, the feedback resistor R3=R4, so the differential output signal VOUT of the single-ended to differential amplifier circuit is: .

[0050] When ripple or interference on the power line causes interference signals to appear on the output reference voltage VREF of the bandgap reference, while the op amp is operating normally and amplifying the signal, PMOS transistor PM1 is turned off, and the voltage VREF1 on capacitor C1 maintains the reference voltage VREF. Therefore, the ripple and interference signals cannot be transmitted through buffer BUF1 to the positive input terminals of first-stage inverting amplifier 200 and second-stage inverting amplifier 201. On the other hand, the second-order low-pass filter formed by resistor R5 and capacitor C2, as well as PMOS transistor PM3 and capacitor C1, has a low cutoff frequency due to the large output impedance of PMOS transistor PM3. Therefore, the ripple and interference on reference voltage VREF, after passing through the second-order low-pass filter, cannot be transmitted to the positive input terminals of first-stage inverting amplifier 200 and second-stage inverting amplifier 201.

[0051] The single-ended to differential amplifier does not amplify the ripple and interference signal on the positive input reference voltage VREF1, and has a strong inhibitory effect on the power supply ripple and interference of the entire operational amplifier. The PSRR of the single-ended to differential amplifier is much higher than that of the traditional single-ended to differential amplifier.

[0052] The above description is only a description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention and does not limit the scope of the present invention. Any changes and modifications made by ordinary technicians in the field of the present invention based on the above disclosure shall fall within the scope of protection of the claims.
