Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic circuits, and in particular to a common-mode suppression circuit, a power amplifier circuit, a chip, and an electronic device. Background Art
[0002] In a fully differential amplifier circuit, the voltage at the common-mode input is typically determined by the current fed back from the common-mode output through feedback resistor RFB. Understandably, in a fully differential amplifier circuit, when the input signal is 0, the common-mode output will output a signal with a 50% duty cycle. That is, within a given period, the signal at the common-mode output remains high and low for the same amount of time.
[0003] However, due to the presence of feedback resistor RFB in the fully differential amplifier circuit, a feedback current will be fed back from the common-mode output to the common-mode input, and the feedback current will flow through the integrating capacitor in the fully differential amplifier circuit. Due to the charging and discharging characteristics of the integrating capacitor, the voltage at the common-mode input will have periodic ripples, that is, the voltage at the common-mode input will fluctuate at a certain frequency, causing voltage disturbances at the common-mode input.
[0004] In some cases, the voltage disturbance at the common-mode input can be seen as a noise signal and can mix with the input signal, affecting the overall performance of the fully differential amplifier circuit. Summary of the Invention

[0030] The illustrative embodiments of the present application include, but are not limited to, a common-mode rejection circuit, a power amplifier circuit, a chip, and an electronic device.
[0031] It can be understood that the differential amplifier circuit in the power amplifier circuit in the embodiment of the present application can be a fully differential amplifier circuit, which is not limited here.
[0032] The specific implementation process of the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0033] As mentioned above, the voltage disturbance at the common-mode input of the differential amplifier circuit can be regarded as a noise signal and will mix with the input signal to affect the overall performance of the fully differential amplifier circuit.
[0034] For example, Figure 1 A waveform diagram of a common-mode input voltage disturbance is shown.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown in , when the input signal is 0, the common-mode output terminal will output a signal with a 50% duty cycle. Due to the presence of the feedback resistor RFB, the common-mode output terminal will feedback a current I_RFB to the common-mode input terminal (INT_INP / N). When the voltage at the common-mode output terminal (VOUTP / N) is high, the I_RFB corresponding to the feedback resistor RFB will flow into the common-mode input terminal (INT_INP / N) and then be injected into the integrating capacitor C, charging the integrating capacitor C and increasing the voltage at the common-mode input terminal (INT_INP / N). When the voltage at the common-mode output terminal (VOUTP / N) is low, I_RFB will flow out of the common-mode input terminal (INT_INP / N), and then the current I_C corresponding to the integrating capacitor C will flow out of the integrating capacitor C, discharging the integrating capacitor C, thereby reducing the voltage at the common-mode input terminal (INT_INP / N). That is to say, when the input signal is 0 and the common-mode output terminal outputs a square wave with a 50% duty cycle, the periodic charge and discharge process of the integrating capacitor C will cause the voltage of the common-mode input terminal (INT_INP / N) to fluctuate around VDD / 2, that is, there is a periodic voltage disturbance.
[0036] It is understood that the voltage disturbance problem at the common-mode input terminal of the differential amplifier circuit mentioned above will be discussed below in conjunction with the present application. Figure 2 、 Figure 3、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 The different common-mode suppression circuits and power amplifier circuits provided in the paper elaborate on the specific process of improving the voltage disturbance at the common-mode input end.
[0037] In order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a common-mode suppression circuit, which is applied to a differential amplifier circuit, including: a common-mode disturbance suppression circuit and an output common-mode detection circuit; the first input terminal of the output common-mode detection circuit is used to connect to the first common-mode output terminal of the differential amplifier circuit, and the second input terminal of the output common-mode detection circuit is used to connect to the second common-mode output terminal of the differential amplifier circuit; the output terminal of the output common-mode detection circuit is connected to the input terminal of the common-mode disturbance suppression circuit; the first output terminal of the common-mode disturbance suppression circuit is used to connect to the second common-mode input terminal of the differential amplifier circuit, and the second output terminal of the common-mode disturbance suppression circuit is used to connect to the first common-mode input terminal of the differential amplifier circuit; wherein the output common-mode detection circuit is used to generate control information according to the voltage of the first common-mode output terminal and the voltage of the second common-mode output terminal; the common-mode disturbance suppression circuit is used to adjust the common-mode voltage of the differential amplifier circuit based on the control information, so that the common-mode current flowing into and out of the same common-mode input terminal is the same, or so that the common-mode voltage of the differential amplifier circuit is half of the power supply voltage.
[0038] Based on the common-mode suppression circuit provided in the embodiment of the present application, by adding an output common-mode detection circuit and using the output common-mode detection circuit to detect the voltage of the first common-mode output terminal or the second common-mode output terminal of the differential amplifier circuit, control information that can adjust the common-mode disturbance suppression circuit is generated, so that the common-mode disturbance suppression circuit can adjust the common-mode adjustment voltage of the differential amplifier circuit based on the control information. In this way, the common-mode current flowing into and out of the same common-mode input terminal (such as the first common-mode input terminal or the second common-mode input terminal) of the differential amplifier circuit is the same. In this way, no common-mode current flows through the integrating capacitor in the power amplifier circuit, and the voltage disturbance at the common-mode input terminal can be effectively suppressed. Alternatively, by making the common-mode voltage of the differential amplifier circuit half of the power supply voltage, the symmetry of the differential amplifier circuit is ensured, thereby effectively suppressing the voltage disturbance at its common-mode input terminal.
[0039] It can be understood that the embodiments of the present application are mainly explained by taking the suppression of the voltage disturbance at the first common-mode input terminal of the differential amplifier circuit as an example. Similarly, the suppression of the voltage disturbance at the second common-mode input terminal of the corresponding differential amplifier circuit can refer to the first common-mode input terminal.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, based on the first feedback resistor RFB1 in the differential amplifier circuit 10 being equal to the first common-mode suppression resistor RCMI1, if the voltage VOUTP at the first common-mode output terminal and the voltage VOUTN at the second common-mode output terminal are both at a low level (GND), the first logic signal PG and the second logic signal NG are both at a low level (GND), the gate voltage of the first field-effect transistor MP1 and the gate voltage of the second field-effect transistor MN1 are both at a low level (GND), the first field-effect transistor MP1 is turned on, and the second field-effect transistor MN1 is turned off, so that the common-mode adjustment voltage of the differential amplifier circuit 10 is at a high level (VDD). Based on the fact that current in a circuit generally flows from a high potential to a low potential, the common-mode current I_RFB corresponding to the first feedback resistor RFB1 flows out of the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP, and the common-mode current I_RCMI corresponding to the first common-mode suppression resistor RCMI1 flows into the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP. In this way, I_RFB and I_RCMI cancel each other out, so that no common-mode current flows through the first integrating capacitor C1 , thereby effectively suppressing the voltage disturbance of the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP.
[0048] It can be understood that the first field effect transistor MP1 is a P-type field effect transistor (P-channel MOSFET, PMOS), corresponding to a P-type field effect transistor, which is turned on when the gate voltage is less than the source voltage, and is otherwise turned off. The second field effect transistor MN1 is an N-type field effect transistor, corresponding to an N-channel MOSFET, NMOS, which is turned on when the gate voltage is greater than the source voltage, and is otherwise turned off.
[0049] Based on this, reference Figure 3 When the gate voltage of the first FET MP1 and the gate voltage of the second FET MN1 are both low (GND), since the source voltage of the first FET is the power supply voltage VDD, the gate voltage (GND) of the first FET MP1 is less than the source voltage (VDD), turning on the first FET MP1. Furthermore, since the source of the second FET MN1 is grounded GND, the gate voltage (GND) of the second FET MN1 is less than the source voltage (GND), turning off the second FET MN1. When the first FET MP1 is on and the second FET MN1 is off, the common-mode adjustment voltage (com point voltage) is pulled up to the power supply voltage VDD. The common-mode current I_RCMI corresponding to the first common-mode suppression resistor RCMI1 is equal to VDD / (2*RCMI1). Furthermore, the common-mode current I_RFB corresponding to the first feedback resistor RFB1 is equal to VDD / (2*RFB1). When the first common-mode suppression resistor RCMI1 is equal to the first feedback resistor RFB1, the common-mode current I_RCMI and the common-mode current I_RFB are equal. This allows the common-mode current I_RFB flowing out of the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP to cancel out the common-mode current I_RCMI flowing into the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP. Consequently, no resistance flows through the first integrating capacitor C1, effectively suppressing voltage disturbances at the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP.
[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, based on the first feedback resistor RFB1 being equal to the first common-mode suppression resistor RCMI1, if the voltage VOUTP at the first common-mode output terminal and the voltage VOUTN at the second common-mode output terminal are both at a high level (VDD), the first logic signal PG and the second logic signal NG are both at a high level (VDD), the gate voltage of the first field-effect transistor MP1 and the gate voltage of the second field-effect transistor MN1 are both at a high level (VDD), the first field-effect transistor MP1 is turned off, and the second field-effect transistor MN1 is turned on, so that the common-mode adjustment voltage of the differential amplifier circuit is at a low level (GND). In the circuit, current generally flows from a high potential to a low potential, so that the common-mode current I_RFB corresponding to the first feedback resistor RFB1 flows into the first common-mode input terminal, and the common-mode current I_RCMI corresponding to the first common-mode suppression resistor RCMI1 flows out of the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP, so that no common-mode current flows through the first integrating capacitor C1.
[0051] It can be understood that the first field effect transistor MP1 is a P-type field effect transistor (P-channel MOSFET, PMOS), corresponding to a P-type field effect transistor, which is turned on when the gate voltage is less than the source voltage, and is otherwise turned off. The second field effect transistor MN1 is an N-type field effect transistor, corresponding to an N-channel MOSFET, NMOS, which is turned on when the gate voltage is greater than the source voltage, and is otherwise turned off.
[0052] Based on this, reference Figure 3When the gate voltage of the first FET MP1 and the gate voltage of the second FET MN1 are both high (VDD), since the source voltage of the first FET is the power supply voltage VDD, the gate voltage (VDD) of the first FET MP1 is no less than the source voltage (VDD), and the first FET MP1 is turned off. Furthermore, since the source of the second FET MN1 is grounded GND, the gate voltage (VDD) of the second FET MN1 is greater than the source voltage (GND), and the second FET MN1 is turned on. When the first FET MP1 is turned off and the second FET MN1 is turned on, the common-mode adjustment voltage (com point voltage) is pulled down to ground GND, and the common-mode current I_RCMI corresponding to the first common-mode suppression resistor RCMI1 is equal to VDD / (2*RCMI1). Furthermore, the common-mode current I_RFB corresponding to the first feedback resistor RFB1 is equal to VDD / (2*RFB1). When the first common-mode suppression resistor RCMI1 is equal to the first feedback resistor RFB1, the common-mode current I_RCMI and the common-mode current I_RFB are equal. This allows the common-mode current I_RFB flowing into the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP to cancel out the common-mode current I_RCMI flowing out of the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP. Consequently, no resistance flows through the first integrating capacitor C1, effectively suppressing voltage disturbances at the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP.
[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, if the voltage VOUTP of the first common-mode output terminal is at a high level (VDD) and the voltage VOUTN of the second common-mode output terminal is at a low level (GND), the first logic signal PG is at a high level, the second logic signal NG is at a low level (GND), the gate voltage of the first field-effect transistor MP1 is at a high level, the gate voltage of the second field-effect transistor MN1 is at a low level, and both the first field-effect transistor MP1 and the second field-effect transistor MN1 are turned off, so that the common-mode adjustment voltage of the differential amplifier circuit is half of the voltage of the first common-mode input terminal and the voltage of the second common-mode input terminal, and the common-mode voltage of the differential amplifier circuit 10 is half of the power supply voltage.
[0054] It can be understood that the first field effect transistor MP1 is a P-type field effect transistor (P-channel MOSFET, PMOS), corresponding to a P-type field effect transistor, which is turned on when the gate voltage is less than the source voltage, and is otherwise turned off. The second field effect transistor MN1 is an N-type field effect transistor, corresponding to an N-channel MOSFET, NMOS, which is turned on when the gate voltage is greater than the source voltage, and is otherwise turned off.
[0055] Based on this, reference Figure 3When the gate voltage of the first field-effect transistor MP1 is high (VDD) and the gate voltage of the second field-effect transistor MN1 is low (GND), since the source voltage of the first field-effect transistor MP1 is the power supply voltage VDD, the gate voltage (VDD) of the first field-effect transistor MP1 is not less than the source voltage (VDD), and the first field-effect transistor MP1 is turned off. Furthermore, since the source of the second field-effect transistor MN1 is grounded GND, the gate voltage (GND) of the second field-effect transistor MN1 is not greater than the source voltage (GND), and the second field-effect transistor MN1 is also turned off. When the first field-effect transistor MP1 is turned off and the second field-effect transistor MN1 is also turned off, since both the first field-effect transistor MP1 and the second field-effect transistor MN1 are turned off, no effective current path is formed. Therefore, no current can flow through RCMI1 and RCMI2, and I_RCMI = 0. The common-mode current I_RFB corresponding to the first feedback resistor RFB1 is equal to VDD / (2*RFB1), and the common-mode current I_RFB flows into the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP. This ensures that the common-mode voltage of the power amplifier circuit 002 is half the power supply voltage, ensuring the symmetry of the differential amplifier circuit 10 and improving the ability to suppress common-mode signals, thereby effectively suppressing voltage disturbances at the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP.
[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, if the voltage VOUTP of the first common-mode output terminal is at a low level (GND) and the voltage VOUTN of the second common-mode output terminal is at a high level (VDD), the first logic signal PG is at a high level (VDD), the second logic signal NG is at a low level (GND), the gate voltage of the first field-effect transistor MP1 is at a high level (VDD), the gate voltage of the second field-effect transistor MN1 is at a low level (GND), and both the first field-effect transistor MP1 and the second field-effect transistor MN1 are turned off, so that the common-mode adjustment voltage of the differential amplifier circuit is half of the voltage of the first common-mode input terminal and the voltage of the second common-mode input terminal, and the common-mode voltage of the differential amplifier circuit is half of the power supply voltage.
[0057] It can be understood that the first field effect transistor MP1 is a P-type field effect transistor (P-channel MOSFET, PMOS), corresponding to a P-type field effect transistor, which is turned on when the gate voltage is less than the source voltage, and is otherwise turned off. The second field effect transistor MN1 is an N-type field effect transistor, corresponding to an N-channel MOSFET, NMOS, which is turned on when the gate voltage is greater than the source voltage, and is otherwise turned off.
[0058] Based on this, reference Figure 3When the gate voltage of the first FET MP1 is low (GND) and the gate voltage of the second FET MN1 is high (VDD), since the source voltage of the first FET MP1 is low (GND), the gate voltage (VDD) of the first FET MP1 is no less than the source voltage (VDD), and the first FET MP1 is turned off. Furthermore, since the source of the second FET MN1 is grounded (GND), the gate voltage (GND) of the second FET MN1 is no greater than the source voltage (GND), and the second FET MN1 is also turned off. When the first FET MP1 and the second FET MN1 are turned off, since both the first FET MP1 and the second FET MN1 are turned off, no effective current path is formed. Therefore, no current can flow through the RCMI resistor, and I_RCMI = 0. The common-mode current I_RFB corresponding to the first feedback resistor RFB1 is equal to VDD / (2*RFB1), and the common-mode current I_RFB flows out of the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP. In this way, the common-mode voltage of the power amplifier circuit 002 is half of the power supply voltage, and the symmetry of the differential amplifier circuit 10 is ensured, thereby improving the suppression capability of the common-mode signal, thereby effectively suppressing the voltage disturbance of the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP.
[0059] It is understood that the above description uses the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP of the differential amplifier circuit 10 in the power amplifier circuit 002 as an example to illustrate the process of suppressing the voltage disturbance at the first common-mode input terminal. In other embodiments of the present application, the voltage disturbance at the second common-mode input terminal INT_INN can be suppressed in a similar manner, which will not be described in detail here.
[0060] It can be understood that in the above four cases where the voltage VOUTP of the first common-mode output terminal and the voltage VOUTN of the second common-mode output terminal are respectively high level, low level, high level and low level, and low level and high level, the corresponding first logic signal, second logic signal, common-mode adjustment voltage (com point voltage), I_RFB and I_RCMI are summarized in Table 1. For Table 1, please refer to the corresponding description above and will not be repeated here.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, the specific structures of the output common-mode detection circuit 20 and the common-mode disturbance suppression circuit 30 in the common-mode disturbance suppression circuit may be different. For example, Figure 4 A schematic diagram of a power amplifier circuit 003 and a common-mode suppression circuit thereof is shown.
[0064] refer to Figure 4In the power amplifier circuit 004, the output common-mode detection circuit 20 may include a digital logic detection module 201. The common-mode disturbance suppression circuit 30 may include a third field-effect transistor MP2, a fourth field-effect transistor MN2, a fifth field-effect transistor MP3, a sixth field-effect transistor MN3, a first current source Isource1, a second current source Isink1, a third current source Isource2, and a fourth current source Isink2, wherein the first current source Isource1 is equal to the product of the power supply voltage and twice the first feedback resistor RFB1 of the differential amplifier circuit 10, that is, Isource1=VDD / (2*RFB1), and the second current source, the third current source, and the fourth current source are equal, that is, Isink1=Isource2=Isink2=Isource1=VDD / (2*RFB1).
[0065] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 , the source of the third field effect transistor MP2 is connected to the first end of the first current source Isource1, the second end of the first current source Isource1 is connected to the power supply terminal VDD, the gate of the third field effect transistor MP2 is connected to the first output end of the digital logic detection module 201 and the gate of the fifth field effect transistor MP3, the drain of the third field effect transistor MP2 is connected to the drain of the fourth field effect transistor MN2, and the drain of the third field effect transistor MP2 is used to be connected to the second common mode input terminal INT_INN; the gate of the fourth field effect transistor MN2 is connected to the second output end of the digital logic detection module 201 and the gate of the sixth field effect transistor MN3, the source of the fourth field effect transistor MN2 is connected to the first end of the second current source Isink1, and the gate of the fourth field effect transistor MN3 is connected to the second common mode input terminal INT_INN. The second end of the second current source Isink1 is connected to the ground terminal GND; the source of the fifth field effect transistor MP3 is connected to the first end of the third current source Isource2, the second end of the third current source Isource2 is connected to the power supply terminal VDD, the gate of the fifth field effect transistor MP3 is connected to the gate of the third field effect transistor MP2 and the first output end of the digital logic detection module 201, the drain of the fifth field effect transistor MP3 is used to be connected to the second common mode input terminal INT_INN, the drain of the fifth field effect transistor MP3 is connected to the drain of the sixth field effect transistor MN3; the source of the sixth field effect transistor MN3 is connected to the first end of the fourth current source Isink2, and the second end of the fourth current source Isink2 is connected to the ground terminal GND.
[0066] The following combination Figure 4 The power amplifier circuit 003 shown in FIG. 1 illustrates a process of improving the voltage disturbance problem at the common-mode input terminal based on the power amplifier circuit 003 and its common-mode suppression circuit.
[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, if the voltage VOUTP of the first common-mode output terminal and the voltage VOUTN of the second common-mode output terminal are both low (GND), the first logic signal PG and the second logic signal NG are both low (GND), the gate voltage of the third field-effect transistor MP2 and the gate voltage of the fourth field-effect transistor MN2 are both low (GND), the third field-effect transistor MP2 and the fifth field-effect transistor MP3 are turned on, the fourth field-effect transistor MN2 and the sixth field-effect transistor MN3 are turned off, the common-mode adjustment voltage of the differential amplifier circuit is high (VDD), the common-mode current I_RFB corresponding to the first feedback resistor RFB1 flows out of the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP, and the common-mode current I_RCMI corresponding to the common-mode disturbance suppression circuit 30 flows into the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP, so that no common-mode current flows through the first integrating capacitor C1.
[0068] It can be understood that the third field effect transistor MP2 and the fifth field effect transistor MP3 are both P-type field effect transistors (P-channel MOSFET, PMOS), corresponding to P-type field effect transistors, which are turned on when the gate voltage is less than the source voltage, and are otherwise turned off. The fourth field effect transistor MN2 and the sixth field effect transistor MN3 are N-type field effect transistors, corresponding to N-channel MOSFET, NMOS, which are turned on when the gate voltage is greater than the source voltage, and are otherwise turned off.
[0069] Based on this, reference Figure 4When the voltage VOUTP at the first common-mode output terminal is low and the voltage VOUTN at the second common-mode output terminal is low (GND), the first logic signal PG and the second logic signal NG are both low (GND). This means that the gate voltages of the third field-effect transistor MP2, the fifth field-effect transistor MP3, the fourth field-effect transistor MN2, and the sixth field-effect transistor MN3 are all low (GND). Since the sources of the third field-effect transistor MP2 and the fifth field-effect transistor MP3 are the power supply voltage VDD, the gate voltage (GND) of the third field-effect transistor MP2 is less than the source voltage (VDD), and the gate voltage (GND) of the fifth field-effect transistor MP3 is less than the source voltage (VDD), and thus the third field-effect transistor MP2 and the fifth field-effect transistor MP3 are turned on. Because the sources of the fourth and sixth field-effect transistors MN2 and MN3 are grounded (GND), the gate voltage (GND) of the fourth field-effect transistor MN1 is no greater than the source voltage (GND), and the gate voltage (GND) of the sixth field-effect transistor MN3 is no greater than the source voltage (GND), thereby turning off the fourth and sixth field-effect transistors MN2 and MN3. When the third and fifth field-effect transistors MP2 and MP3 are turned on and the fourth and sixth field-effect transistors MN2 and MN3 are turned off, the common-mode adjustment voltage (com point voltage) is pulled up to VDD, where Isource = Isink = VDD / (2*RFB). Furthermore, the common-mode current I_RFB corresponding to the first feedback resistor RFB1 is equal to VDD / (2*RFB1). When the first common-mode rejection resistor RCMI1 is equal to the first feedback resistor RFB1, I_RCMI and I_RFB are equal. In this way, the common mode current I_RFB flowing out of the first common mode input terminal INT_INP is offset by the common mode current I_RCMI flowing into the first common mode input terminal INT_INP, and no resistance flows through the first integrating capacitor C1, thereby effectively suppressing the voltage disturbance of the first common mode input terminal INT_INP.
[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, if the voltage VOUTP of the first common-mode output terminal and the voltage VOUTN of the second common-mode output terminal are both high (VDD), the first logic signal PG and the second logic signal NG are both high, the gate voltage of the third field-effect transistor MP2 and the gate voltage of the fourth field-effect transistor MN2 are both high, the third field-effect transistor MP2 and the fifth field-effect transistor MP3 are turned off, the fourth field-effect transistor MN2 and the sixth field-effect transistor MN3 are turned on, the common-mode adjustment voltage (com point voltage) of the differential amplifier circuit 10 is low, the common-mode current I_RFB corresponding to the first feedback resistor RFB1 flows into the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP, and the common-mode current corresponding to the common-mode disturbance suppression circuit 30 flows out of the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP, so that no common-mode current flows through the first integrating capacitor C1.
[0071] It can be understood that the third field effect transistor MP2 and the fifth field effect transistor MP3 are both P-type field effect transistors (P-channel MOSFET, PMOS), corresponding to P-type field effect transistors, which are turned on when the gate voltage is less than the source voltage, and are otherwise turned off. The fourth field effect transistor MN2 and the sixth field effect transistor MN3 are N-type field effect transistors, corresponding to N-channel MOSFET, NMOS, which are turned on when the gate voltage is greater than the source voltage, and are otherwise turned off.
[0072] Based on this, reference Figure 4 When the voltage VOUTP at the first common-mode output terminal and the voltage VOUTN at the second common-mode output terminal are both at a high level (VDD), the first logic signal PG and the second logic signal NG are both at a high level (VDD). This means that the gate voltages of the third field-effect transistor MP2, the fifth field-effect transistor MP3, the fourth field-effect transistor MN2, and the sixth field-effect transistor MN3 are all at a high level (VDD). Since the sources of the third field-effect transistor MP2 and the fifth field-effect transistor MP3 are at the power supply voltage VDD, the gate voltage (VDD) of the third field-effect transistor MP2 is not less than the source voltage (VDD), and the gate voltage (VDD) of the fifth field-effect transistor MP3 is not less than the source voltage (VDD), and the third field-effect transistor MP2 and the fifth field-effect transistor MP3 are cut off. Because the sources of the fourth and sixth field-effect transistors MN2 and MN3 are grounded (GND), the gate voltage (VDD) of the fourth field-effect transistor MN1 is greater than the source voltage (GND), and the gate voltage (VDD) of the sixth field-effect transistor MN3 is greater than the source voltage (GND), turning on the fourth and sixth field-effect transistors MN2 and MN3. When the third and fifth field-effect transistors MP2 and MP3 are turned off, and the fourth and sixth field-effect transistors MN2 and MN3 are turned on, the common-mode adjustment voltage (com point voltage) is pulled up to ground GND. Furthermore, the common-mode current I_RFB corresponding to the first feedback resistor RFB1 is equal to VDD / (2*RFB1). When the first common-mode rejection resistor RCMI1 is equal to the first feedback resistor RFB1, I_RCMI and I_RFB are equal. In this way, the common mode current I_RFB flowing into the first common mode input terminal INT_INP is offset by the common mode current I_RCMI flowing out of the first common mode input terminal INT_INP, and no resistance flows through the first integrating capacitor C1, thereby effectively suppressing the voltage disturbance of the first common mode input terminal INT_INP.
[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, if the voltage VOUTN of the first common-mode output terminal is at a high level (VDD) and the voltage VOUTP of the second common-mode output terminal is at a low level (GND), the first logic signal PG is at a high level (VDD), the second logic signal NG is at a low level (GND), the third field-effect transistor MP2, the fourth field-effect transistor MN2, the fifth field-effect transistor MP3 and the sixth field-effect transistor MN3 are all turned off, and the common-mode current I_RFB corresponding to the first feedback resistor RFB1 flows out of the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP, so that the common-mode adjustment voltage (com point voltage) of the differential amplifier circuit 10 is half of the sum of the voltage of the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP and the voltage of the second common-mode input terminal INT_INN, and the common-mode voltage of the differential amplifier circuit 10 is half of the power supply voltage.
[0074] It can be understood that the third field effect transistor MP2 and the fifth field effect transistor MP3 are both P-type field effect transistors (P-channel MOSFET, PMOS), corresponding to P-type field effect transistors, which are turned on when the gate voltage is less than the source voltage, and are otherwise turned off. The fourth field effect transistor MN2 and the sixth field effect transistor MN3 are N-type field effect transistors, corresponding to N-channel MOSFET, NMOS, which are turned on when the gate voltage is greater than the source voltage, and are otherwise turned off.
[0075] Based on this, reference Figure 4When the voltage VOUTP at the first common-mode output terminal is high (VDD) and the voltage VOUTN at the second common-mode output terminal is low (GND), the first logic signal PG is high (VDD) and the second logic signal NG is low (GND). This means that the gate voltages of the third field-effect transistor MP2 and the fifth field-effect transistor MP3 are high (VDD), and the gate voltages of the fourth field-effect transistor MN2 and the sixth field-effect transistor MN3 are both low (GND). Since the sources of the third field-effect transistor MP2 and the fifth field-effect transistor MP3 are the power supply voltage VDD, the gate voltage (VDD) of the third field-effect transistor MP2 is not less than the source voltage (VDD), and the gate voltage (VDD) of the fifth field-effect transistor MP3 is not less than the source voltage (VDD), and the third field-effect transistor MP2 and the fifth field-effect transistor MP3 are cut off. Because the sources of the fourth and sixth field-effect transistors MN2 and MN3 are grounded to GND, the gate voltage (GND) of the fourth field-effect transistor MN1 is no greater than the source voltage (GND), and the gate voltage (GND) of the sixth field-effect transistor MN3 is no greater than the source voltage (GND), thereby turning off the fourth and sixth field-effect transistors MN2 and MN3. When the third field-effect transistors MP2, MP3, MN2, and MN3 are all turned off, and because the first and second field-effect transistors MP1 and MN1 are both turned off, no effective current path is formed between the common-mode adjustment voltage (com point voltage) and either the power supply VDD or the ground terminal GND. The common-mode current I_RFB corresponding to the first feedback resistor RFB1 is equal to VDD / (2*RFB1), and I_RFB flows into the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP.
[0076] Based on the above, by setting the common-mode voltage to half of the power supply voltage, the symmetry of the differential amplifier circuit 10 can be ensured, thereby improving the suppression capability of the common-mode signal and effectively suppressing the voltage disturbance of the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP.
[0077] In some embodiments of the present application, if the voltage VOUTP of the first common-mode output terminal is a low level (GND) and the voltage VOUTN of the second common-mode output terminal is a high level (VDD), the first logic signal PG is a high level (VDD), the second logic signal NG is a low level (GND), the third field-effect transistor MP2, the fourth field-effect transistor MN2, the fifth field-effect transistor MP3 and the sixth field-effect transistor MN3 are all turned off, and the common-mode current I_RFB corresponding to the first feedback resistor RFB1 flows into the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP, so that the common-mode adjustment voltage (com point voltage) of the differential amplifier circuit 10 is half of the sum of the voltage of the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP and the voltage of the second common-mode input terminal INT_INN, and the common-mode voltage of the differential amplifier circuit 10 is half of the power supply voltage.
[0078] It can be understood that the third field effect transistor MP2 and the fifth field effect transistor MP3 are both P-type field effect transistors (P-channel MOSFET, PMOS), corresponding to P-type field effect transistors, which are turned on when the gate voltage is less than the source voltage, and are otherwise turned off. The fourth field effect transistor MN2 and the sixth field effect transistor MN3 are N-type field effect transistors, corresponding to N-channel MOSFET, NMOS, which are turned on when the gate voltage is greater than the source voltage, and are otherwise turned off.
[0079] Based on this, reference Figure 4 When the voltage VOUTP at the first common-mode output terminal is at a low level (GND) and the voltage VOUTN at the second common-mode output terminal is at a high level (VDD), the first logic signal PG is at a high level (VDD) and the second logic signal NG is at a low level (GND). This means that the gate voltages of the third field-effect transistor MP2 and the fifth field-effect transistor MP3 are at a high level (VDD), while the gate voltages of the fourth field-effect transistor MN2 and the sixth field-effect transistor MN3 are both at a low level (GND). Since the source voltages of the third field-effect transistor MP2 and the fifth field-effect transistor MP3 are at the power supply voltage VDD, the gate voltage (VDD) of the third field-effect transistor MP2 is not less than the source voltage (VDD), and the gate voltage (VDD) of the fifth field-effect transistor MP3 is not less than the source voltage (VDD), and the third field-effect transistor MP2 and the fifth field-effect transistor MP3 are turned off. Since the source electrodes of the fourth field effect transistor MN2 and the sixth field effect transistor MN3 are grounded GND, the gate voltage (GND) of the fourth field effect transistor MN1 is not greater than the source voltage (GND), and the gate voltage (GND) of the sixth field effect transistor MN3 is not greater than the source voltage (GND), and thus the fourth field effect transistor MN2 and the sixth field effect transistor MN3 are turned off. When the third field effect transistor MP2, the fifth field effect transistor MP3, the fourth field effect transistor MN2, and the sixth field effect transistor MN3 are all turned off. Since the first field effect transistor MP1 and the second field effect transistor MN1 are both turned off, no effective current path is formed. The common-mode current I_RFB corresponding to the first feedback resistor RFB1 is equal to VDD / (2*RFB1), and the common-mode current I_RFB flows out of the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP.
[0080] Based on the above, since the common-mode voltage is set to half of the power supply voltage, the symmetry of the differential amplifier circuit 10 can be ensured, thereby improving the suppression capability of the common-mode signal and effectively suppressing the voltage disturbance of the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP.
[0081] It will be appreciated that the above description uses the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP of the differential amplifier circuit 10 in the power amplifier circuit 003 as an example to illustrate the process of suppressing the voltage disturbance at the first common-mode input terminal. In other embodiments of the present application, the voltage disturbance at the second common-mode input terminal INT_INN can be suppressed in a similar manner, which will not be described in detail here.
[0082] It can be understood that in the above four cases where the voltage VOUTP of the first common-mode output terminal and the voltage VOUTN of the second common-mode output terminal are respectively high level, low level, high level and low level, and low level and high level, the corresponding first logic signal, second logic signal, on-off state (such as ON or OFF) of the third field-effect transistor MP2, the fourth field-effect transistor MN2, the fifth field-effect transistor MP3 and the sixth field-effect transistor MN3, I_RFB and I_RCMI are summarized in Table 2, and Table 2 is not repeated here.

When the output of the NAND gate (NAND) is 1 and the output of the second NOT gate (NOT2) is 0, then the second logic signal PG is 0.
[0092] In some embodiments of the present application, the specific structures of the output common-mode detection circuit 20 and the common-mode disturbance suppression circuit 30 in the common-mode disturbance suppression circuit may be different. For example, Figure 6 A schematic diagram of a power amplifier circuit 004 and a common-mode suppression circuit thereof is shown.
[0093] refer to Figure 6 In the power amplifier circuit 004, the output common-mode detection circuit 20 may include a first common-mode detection resistor R01 and a second common-mode detection resistor R02, wherein the first common-mode detection resistor R01 and the second common-mode detection resistor R02 are equal. The common-mode disturbance suppression circuit 30 includes a first operational amplifier OPA1, a negative feedback resistor R03, a third common-mode suppression resistor RCM3, and a fourth common-mode suppression resistor RCM4, wherein the third common-mode suppression resistor RCM3 and the fourth common-mode suppression resistor RCM4 have equal resistance values.
[0094] Specifically, refer to Figure 6 , the first end of the first common-mode detection resistor R01 is used to be connected to the first common-mode output terminal OUTP, the first end of the second common-mode detection resistor R02 is used to be connected to the second common-mode output terminal OUTN, the second end of the first common-mode detection resistor R01 is connected to the second end of the second common-mode detection resistor R02 and the inverting input terminal of the first operational amplifier OPA1, wherein the input voltage of the positive input terminal of the first operational amplifier OPA1 is half of the power supply voltage; the output terminal of the first operational amplifier OPA1 is connected to the second end of the negative feedback resistor R03, the first end of the third common-mode suppression resistor RCM3 and the fourth common-mode The first end of the suppression resistor RCM4 is connected, the second end of the third common-mode suppression resistor RCM3 is used to be connected to the second common-mode input terminal INT_INN, and the second end of the fourth common-mode suppression resistor RCM4 is used to be connected to the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP; the output common-mode detection circuit 20 is used to generate control information according to the voltage VOUTP of the first common-mode output terminal and the voltage VOUTN of the second common-mode output terminal, and the control information includes a divided voltage generated based on the first common-mode detection resistor R01 and the second common-mode detection resistor R02, and the voltage of the negative input terminal of the first operational amplifier OPA1 is the divided voltage.
[0095] The following combination Figure 6 The power amplifier circuit 004 shown in the figure illustrates the process of improving the voltage disturbance problem at the common-mode input terminal based on the power amplifier circuit 004 and its common-mode suppression circuit.
[0096] In some embodiments of the present application, based on the negative feedback resistor R03 being equal to half of the first common-mode detection resistor RO1, if the voltage VOUTP at the first common-mode output terminal and the voltage VOUTN at the second common-mode output terminal are both at a low level (GND), based on the first operational amplifier OPA1 and the negative feedback resistor R03, the common-mode adjustment voltage of the differential amplifier circuit 10 is equal to the power supply voltage VDD, thereby causing the common-mode current I_RFB corresponding to the first feedback resistor RFB1 of the differential amplifier circuit 10 to flow out of the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP, and the common-mode current I_RCMI corresponding to the common-mode disturbance suppression circuit 30 to flow into the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP, so that no common-mode current flows through the first integrating capacitor C1.
[0097] Specifically, refer to Figure 6The inverting input of the first operational amplifier OPA1 is connected to VOUTP and VOUTN through the first common-mode sense resistor R01 and the second common-mode sense resistor R02, respectively. Both VOUTP and VOUTN are at a low level, GND. The first common-mode sense resistor R01 and the second common-mode sense resistor R02 form a voltage divider, dividing the voltages of VOUTP and VOUTN to the inverting input of the first operational amplifier OPA1. The voltage of the inverting input of the first operational amplifier OPA1 is also GND. Due to the virtual short-circuit characteristic of the operational amplifier, the voltage at the inverting input of the first operational amplifier OPA1 tends to approach the voltage of the positive input of the first operational amplifier OPA1. If the voltage at the positive input of the first operational amplifier OPA1 is VDD / 2, the inverting input of the first operational amplifier OPA1 will also tend to VDD / 2. Based on this, the first operational amplifier OPA1 adjusts its output, causing the voltage at the inverting input of the first operational amplifier OPA1 to increase. This is because negative feedback resistor R03 connects the output of the first operational amplifier OPA1 back to the inverting input, forming a feedback loop. Furthermore, with both VOUTP and VOUTN at GND, the output of the first operational amplifier OPA1, or the common-mode adjustment voltage (i.e., the com point), increases to a voltage of VDD. This allows the current flowing through negative feedback resistor R03 to pull the inverting input to VDD, thereby maintaining the voltages at the inverting and positive inputs as close as possible. The voltage at the positive input is VDD / 2, meaning the inverting input is also pulled close to VDD to maintain current balance. Subsequently, the first operational amplifier OPA1 can adjust its output voltage and drive current to ultimately bring the voltage at the inverting input close to the voltage at the positive input, VDD / 2. Based on the above, the output of the first operational amplifier OPA1, or the com point voltage, or the common-mode adjustment voltage, is VDD. Therefore, based on RCMI1=RCMI2, the common-mode voltage of the differential amplifier circuit is half the power supply voltage through voltage division.
[0098] In addition, the common-mode current I_RCMI corresponding to the third common-mode suppression resistor RCMI3 is equal to VDD / (2*RCMI3). The common-mode current I_RFB corresponding to the first feedback resistor RFB1 is equal to VDD / (2*RFB1). When the first common-mode suppression resistor RCMI1 is equal to the first feedback resistor RFB1, I_RCMI and I_RFB are equal. In this way, the common-mode current I_RFB flowing out of the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP is offset by the common-mode current I_RCMI flowing into the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP, and no resistance flows through the first integrating capacitor C1, effectively suppressing the voltage disturbance of the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP.
[0099] In some embodiments of the present application, based on the negative feedback resistor R03 being equal to half of the first common-mode detection resistor RO1, if the voltage VOUTP of the first common-mode output terminal and the voltage VOUTN of the second common-mode output terminal are both at a high level (VDD), the common-mode adjustment voltage of the differential amplifier circuit 10 is made low (GND) based on the first operational amplifier OPA1 and the negative feedback resistor R03, thereby causing the common-mode current I_RFB corresponding to the first feedback resistor RFB1 to flow into the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP, and the common-mode current corresponding to the common-mode disturbance suppression circuit 30 to flow out of the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP, so that no common-mode current flows through the first integrating capacitor C1.
[0100] Specifically, refer to Figure 6 The inverting input of the first operational amplifier OPA1 is connected to VOUTP and VOUTN through the first common-mode sense resistor R01 and the second common-mode sense resistor R02, respectively. Both VOUTP and VOUTN are at a high level (VDD). The first common-mode sense resistor R01 and the second common-mode sense resistor R02 form a voltage divider. The divided voltage based on VOUTP and VOUTN is input to the inverting input of the first operational amplifier OPA1, resulting in a voltage at VDD. Due to the virtual short-circuit characteristic of the operational amplifier, the voltage at the inverting input of the first operational amplifier OPA1 tends to approach the voltage at the positive input of the first operational amplifier OPA1. If the voltage at the positive input of the first operational amplifier OPA1 is VDD / 2, the inverting input of the first operational amplifier OPA1 will also tend to VDD / 2. Based on this, the first operational amplifier OPA1 adjusts its output to reduce the voltage at the inverting input of the first operational amplifier OPA1. This is because the negative feedback resistor R03 connects the output of the first operational amplifier OPA1 back to the reverse input terminal, forming a feedback loop. Therefore, the output terminal of the first operational amplifier OPA1, that is, the common-mode adjustment voltage terminal (that is, the com point), will be reduced to a voltage GND, so that the current passing through the negative feedback resistor R03 can pull the reverse input terminal to GND. This is because the first operational amplifier OPA1 will try to keep the voltage of the reverse input terminal and the positive input terminal equal, and the positive input terminal is VDD / 2, so the negative input terminal will also be pulled close to GND to maintain current balance. In addition, the first operational amplifier OPA1 can also adjust the output voltage and drive current to eventually make the voltage of the reverse input terminal close to the voltage of the positive input terminal VDD / 2.
[0101] In addition, the common-mode current I_RCMI corresponding to the third common-mode suppression resistor RCMI3 is equal to VDD / (2*RCMI3). The common-mode current I_RFB corresponding to the first feedback resistor RFB1 is equal to VDD / (2*RFB1). When the first common-mode suppression resistor RCMI1 is equal to the first feedback resistor RFB1, I_RCMI and I_RFB are equal. In this way, the common-mode current I_RFB flowing into the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP is offset by the common-mode current I_RCMI flowing out of the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP, and no resistance flows through the first integrating capacitor C1, effectively suppressing the voltage disturbance of the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP.
[0102] In some embodiments of the present application, based on the negative feedback resistor R03 being equal to half of the first common-mode detection resistor RO1, if the voltage VOUTP of the first common-mode output terminal is at a high level (VDD) and the voltage VOUTN of the second common-mode output terminal is at a low level (GND), based on the first operational amplifier OPA1 and the negative feedback resistor R03, the common-mode adjustment voltage of the differential amplifier circuit 10 is half of the sum of the voltage of the first common-mode input terminal and the voltage of the second common-mode input terminal, and the common-mode voltage of the differential amplifier circuit is half of the power supply voltage.
[0103] Specifically, refer to Figure 6 , the inverting input of the first operational amplifier OPA1 is connected to VOUTP and VOUTN through the first common-mode sense resistor R01 and the second common-mode sense resistor R02, respectively. VOUTP is at a high level VDD, and VOUTN is at a low level GND. In this case, the inverting input of the first operational amplifier OPA1 is connected to VOUTP and VOUTN through the first common-mode sense resistor R01 and the second common-mode sense resistor R02, respectively. The first common-mode sense resistor R01 and the second common-mode sense resistor R02 form a voltage divider, dividing the voltages of VOUTP and VOUTN to the inverting input of the first operational amplifier OPA1. When VOUTP is at VDD and VOUTN is at GND, the voltage at the inverting input will be close to VDD / 2.
[0104] It can be understood that the com point is the point where the negative feedback resistor R03 is connected to the output of the first operational amplifier OPA1. Since the output of the first operational amplifier OPA1 is adjusted to maintain the voltage at the negative input terminal close to VDD / 2, the voltage at the com point is also adjusted to close to VDD / 2. The negative feedback resistor R03 is equal to half of the first common-mode detection resistor R01 or the second common-mode detection resistor R02, that is, R03 = 0.5*R01 or R03 = 0.5*R02. In addition, corresponding to the positive input terminal of the first operational amplifier OPA1 being VDD / 2, the output of the first operational amplifier OPA1 is adjusted to maintain the voltage at the negative input terminal of the first operational amplifier OPA1 close to the voltage VDD / 2 of the positive input terminal of the first operational amplifier OPA1. Therefore, the voltage at the com point can be adjusted to close to VDD / 2 through the negative feedback resistor R03 to ensure that the current through the feedback resistor R03 remains balanced between the negative input terminal and the positive input terminal.
[0105] In addition, the common-mode current I_RFB corresponding to the first feedback resistor RFB1 is equal to VDD / (2*RFB1), and the common-mode current I_RFB flows into the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP. However, due to the high input impedance characteristics of the first operational amplifier OPA1, the current flowing into the first operational amplifier OPA1 is extremely small and can be approximately considered to be zero. It can be understood that in an ideal operational amplifier, due to the effect of negative feedback, the voltages of the two input terminals (positive input terminal and negative input terminal) of the first operational amplifier OPA1 will be very close, almost equal. This phenomenon is called a virtual short circuit. When the voltage difference between the first common-mode input terminal VOUTP and the second common-mode input terminal VOUTN of the power amplifier circuit 004 is large, the first operational amplifier OPA1 will adjust its output to maintain the balance of the negative feedback loop.
[0106] It is understandable that in other embodiments of the present application, considering the output swing of the first operational amplifier OPA1, the negative feedback resistor R03 may also be smaller than half of the first common-mode detection resistor R01 or the second common-mode detection resistor R02, which is not limited here.
[0107] Based on the above, when the common-mode voltage is set to half of the power supply voltage, i.e., VDD / 2, the symmetry of the differential amplifier circuit 10 is ensured, thereby improving the suppression capability of the common-mode signal, thereby effectively suppressing the voltage disturbance of the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP.
[0108] In some embodiments of the present application, based on the negative feedback resistor R03 being equal to half of the first common-mode detection resistor RO1, if the voltage VOUTN of the first common-mode output terminal is at a low level (GND) and the voltage VOUTN of the second common-mode output terminal is at a high level (VDD), based on the first operational amplifier OPA1 and the negative feedback resistor R03, the common-mode adjustment voltage of the differential amplifier circuit 10 is half of the sum of the voltage of the first common-mode input terminal and the voltage of the second common-mode input terminal, and the common-mode voltage of the differential amplifier circuit 10 is half of the power supply voltage.
[0109] Specifically, refer to Figure 6 , the inverting input of the first operational amplifier OPA1 is connected to VOUTP and VOUTN through the first common-mode sense resistor R01 and the second common-mode sense resistor R02, respectively. VOUTP is at a high level VDD, and VOUTN is at a low level GND. In this case, the inverting input of the first operational amplifier OPA1 is connected to VOUTP and VOUTN through the first common-mode sense resistor R01 and the second common-mode sense resistor R02, respectively. The first common-mode sense resistor R01 and the second common-mode sense resistor R02 form a voltage divider, dividing the voltages of VOUTP and VOUTN to the inverting input of the first operational amplifier OPA1. When VOUTP is at GND and VOUTN is at VDD, the voltage at the inverting input will be close to VDD / 2.
[0110] It can be understood that the com point is the point where the negative feedback resistor R03 is connected to the output of the first operational amplifier OPA1. Since the output of the first operational amplifier OPA1 is adjusted to maintain the voltage at the negative input terminal close to VDD / 2, the voltage at the com point is also adjusted to close to VDD / 2. The negative feedback resistor R03 is equal to half of the first common-mode detection resistor R01 or the second common-mode detection resistor R02, that is, R03 = 0.5*R01 or R03 = 0.5*R02. In addition, corresponding to the positive input terminal of the first operational amplifier OPA1 being VDD / 2, the output of the first operational amplifier OPA1 is adjusted to maintain the voltage at the negative input terminal of the first operational amplifier OPA1 close to the voltage VDD / 2 of the positive input terminal of the first operational amplifier OPA1. Therefore, the voltage at the com point can be adjusted to close to VDD / 2 through the negative feedback resistor R03 to ensure that the current through the feedback resistor R03 remains balanced between the negative input terminal and the positive input terminal.
[0111] In addition, the common-mode current I_RFB corresponding to the first feedback resistor RFB1 is equal to VDD / (2*RFB1), and the common-mode current I_RFB flows out of the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP. Due to the high input impedance characteristics of the first operational amplifier OPA1, the current flowing into the first operational amplifier OPA1 is extremely small and can be approximately considered to be zero. It can be understood that in an ideal operational amplifier, due to the effect of negative feedback, the voltages of the two input terminals (positive input terminal and negative input terminal) of the first operational amplifier OPA1 will be very close, almost equal. This phenomenon is called a virtual short circuit. When the voltage difference between the first common-mode input terminal VOUTP and the second common-mode input terminal VOUTN of the power amplifier circuit 004 is large, the first operational amplifier OPA1 will adjust its output to maintain the balance of the negative feedback loop.
[0112] Based on the above, when the common-mode voltage is set to half of the power supply voltage, the symmetry of the differential amplifier circuit 10 is ensured, thereby improving the suppression capability of the common-mode signal, thereby effectively suppressing the voltage disturbance of the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP.
[0113] It can be understood that, in the above four cases where the voltage VOUTP of the first common-mode output terminal and the voltage VOUTN of the second common-mode output terminal are respectively high level, low level, high level and low level, and low level and high level, the corresponding common-mode adjustment voltage (com point voltage), the first feedback current I_RFB and the first common-mode suppression current I_RCMI are summarized in Table 3, and Table 3 is not repeated here.

[0115]
[0116] The present application also provides a power amplifier circuit, including the common-mode suppression circuit and the differential amplifier circuit in the embodiment of the present application.
[0117] For example, Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6In the power amplifier circuit shown, the differential amplifier circuit 10 may include a modulation module 101, a first comparison amplifier module 102, a second comparison amplifier module 103, a first integral capacitor C1, a second integral capacitor C2, a first feedback resistor RFB1, a second feedback resistor RFB2, and an output driver module 104, wherein the resistance of the first feedback resistor RFB1 is equal to that of the second feedback resistor RFB2, and the first integral capacitor C1 is equal to that of the second integral capacitor C2; the first input terminal of the modulation module 101 is connected to the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP, the first end of the first integral capacitor C1, and the first end of the first feedback resistor RFB1, the second end of the first integral capacitor C1 is connected to the first output terminal of the modulation module 101 and the first input terminal of the first comparison amplifier module 102, the second end of the first feedback resistor RFB1 is connected to the first common-mode output terminal VOUTP, and the modulation module 101 The second input terminal of the first comparative amplification module 102 is connected to the second common-mode input terminal INT_INN, the first terminal of the second integral capacitor C2, and the first terminal of the second feedback resistor RFB2. The second terminal of the second integral capacitor C2 is connected to the second output terminal of the modulation module 101 and the first input terminal of the second comparative amplification module 103. The second end of the second feedback resistor RFB2 is connected to the second common-mode output terminal VOUTN. The second input terminal of the first comparative amplification module 102 is connected to the second input terminal of the second comparative amplification module 103. The output terminal of the first comparative amplification module 102 is connected to the first input terminal of the output driver module 104. The output terminal of the second comparative amplification module 103 is connected to the second input terminal of the output driver module 104. The first output terminal of the output driver module 104 is connected to the first common-mode output terminal VOUTP, and the second output terminal of the output driver module 104 is connected to the second common-mode output terminal VOUTN.
[0118] In addition, the operating principle of the differential amplifier circuit 10 may include: the input signal is input to the modulation module 101 through the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP and the second common-mode input terminal INT_INT respectively. The modulation module 101 processes the input signal and sends it to the first comparison amplifier module 101 and the second comparison amplifier module 102 respectively. The first comparison amplifier module 101 generates a first pulse width modulation (PWM) signal based on the processed input signal, and the second comparison amplifier module 102 generates a second PWM signal based on the processed input signal. Further, the first comparison amplifier module 101 sends the first PWM signal to the output driver module 104, and the second comparison amplifier module 102 sends the second PWM signal to the output driver module 104. The output driver module 104 can output a first common-mode output signal and a second common-mode output signal respectively according to the first PWM signal and the second PWM signal. It can be understood that the first common-mode output signal can be referred to as VOUTP, and the second common-mode output signal can be referred to as VOUTN.
[0119] It can be understood that the circuit structure of the differential amplifier circuit 10 in the present application is only an example. In other embodiments of the present application, the circuit structure of the differential amplifier circuit 10 may be different, which is not limited here.
[0120] By the common-mode suppression circuit provided in the embodiment of the present application, the voltage (VOUTP and VOUTN) of the common-mode output terminal of the differential amplifier circuit 10 is detected by the output common-mode detection circuit 20, and control information that can adjust the common-mode disturbance suppression circuit 30 is generated, so that the common-mode disturbance suppression circuit 30 can adjust the common-mode adjustment voltage based on the control information, so as to make the common-mode current flowing into and out of the same common-mode input terminal (such as INT_INP or INT_INN) of the differential amplifier circuit 10 the same based on the common-mode adjustment voltage (com point voltage). In this way, there is no common-mode current flowing through the integral capacitor C of the differential amplifier circuit 10, which can effectively suppress the voltage disturbance at the common-mode input terminal of the differential amplifier circuit 10. Alternatively, by making the common-mode voltage of the differential amplifier circuit 10 half of the power supply voltage, the symmetry of the differential amplifier circuit 10 is ensured, thereby effectively suppressing the voltage disturbance at the common-mode input terminal of the differential amplifier circuit 10.
[0121] In addition, the common-mode suppression circuit provided in the embodiment of the present application has a small circuit scale and can be implemented with relatively small power consumption and area cost, which can save design resources and has relatively strong competitiveness in low-power design.
[0122] In the embodiment of the present application, based on any one of the common-mode suppression circuits among the power amplifier circuit 001 , the power amplifier circuit 002 , the power amplifier circuit 003 , and the power amplifier circuit 004 , the voltage at the common-mode input terminal can be effectively suppressed.
[0123] For example, Figure 7 A waveform diagram of a common-mode input terminal in a power amplifier circuit is shown to reflect the suppression effect of the voltage at the common-mode input terminal.
[0124] like Figure 7As shown in , based on the input signal being 0, the common-mode output terminal outputs a signal with a 50% duty cycle. When the voltage VOUTP of the first common-mode output terminal and the voltage VOUTN of the second common-mode output terminal are both high or low, and the feedback resistor RFB and the common-mode suppression resistor RCMI in the embodiment of the present application are equal, that is, RFB=RCMI, the common-mode current fed back by I_RFB can be offset by the current provided by I_RCMI, so that no common-mode current flows through the integral capacitor C, that is, the current I_C corresponding to the integral capacitor C is 0. In addition, the voltage of the first common-mode input terminal INT_INP and the voltage of the second common-mode input terminal INT_INN are stable at VDD / 2, and the symmetry of the differential amplifier circuit 10 is ensured, thereby effectively eliminating the voltage fluctuation of the common-mode input terminal.
