Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electrical control, and in particular to a high-precision current mirror. Background Art

[0002] Current mirrors are one of the fundamental building blocks of analog integrated circuits. Besides serving as bias modules for various circuits within analog integrated circuits, they are also widely used to amplify reference currents to drive current-source devices, such as LEDs. The ability of current mirrors to accurately replicate or scale the reference current impacts the accuracy and stability of the entire analog integrated circuit.

[0003] Figure 1 The basic cascode current mirror structure is shown, which includes a master transistor M0 and a slave transistor M1, with the gates of the two transistors electrically connected to each other and the sources electrically connected to each other. The mirror current Iout flowing through the slave transistor M1 can be understood as a mirror current scaled by the reference current Iin flowing through the master transistor M0. Ideally, Iout = K * Iin, where the ratio K is the ratio of the sizes of the slave transistor M1 to the master transistor M0, that is, .

[0004] Figure 2 and Figure 3 Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of a conventional current mirror structure with trimming functionality. A conventional cascode current mirror typically includes common-gate transistors MC0 and MC1 connected in series with the drains of the master transistor M0 and slave transistor M1, respectively. This ensures that the drain voltages of the master and slave transistors are approximately equal, thereby improving the accuracy of the current mirror. However, due to manufacturing variations, the ratio K between the slave transistor M1 and the master transistor M0 cannot reach the ideal value. To obtain a more accurate mirror current Iout, the current mirror requires a trimming circuit or method to correct the ratio K.

[0005] Figure 2 The solution can only adjust the value of the ratio K in one direction. The more switches are closed, the smaller the value of the ratio K is, and the smaller the output current is. Figure 3 This solution enables bidirectional adjustment (increase or decrease) of the ratio K and exhibits excellent trimming characteristics when the ratio K = 1. However, when the ratio K is large (for example, 100), the sizes of transistors MT1 through MT3 must be increased by a factor of K. This significantly increases chip area and costs. Therefore, there is a growing desire to utilize a bidirectional trimming circuit that does not significantly increase the layout and cost, effectively improving the current mirror trimming accuracy and thereby obtaining a precise mirrored current.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] In the detailed description that follows, reference may be made to the various drawings that form part of this application and illustrate specific embodiments of the present application. In the drawings, similar reference numerals describe substantially similar components in different figures. Each specific embodiment of the present application is described below in sufficient detail to enable a person of ordinary skill in the art to implement the technical solutions of the present application. It should be understood that other embodiments may be utilized or that structural, logical, or electrical changes may be made to the embodiments of the present application.

[0030] Technologies, methods, and devices known to persons of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such technologies, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. The lines between the elements in the drawings are merely for ease of explanation, indicating that at least the elements at both ends of the line are communicating with each other, and are not intended to limit the unconnected elements from being unable to communicate. Furthermore, the number of lines between two elements is intended to indicate at least the number of signals involved in the communication between the two elements or at least the number of outputs provided, and is not intended to limit the two elements to communicating only with the signals shown in the figure.

[0031] The high-precision current mirror proposed in this application increases or decreases the ratio of the reference current to the mirror current through local trimming, significantly reducing the complexity of the trimming circuit in the current mirror, thereby providing a higher-precision mirror current and improving the operating efficiency of the current mirror. Compared with traditional current mirror solutions with trimming capabilities, the circuit is simpler, the trimming accuracy is higher, and the layout area is saved.

[0032] The high-precision current mirror proposed in this application converts the master or slave transistor in a conventional solution into two or more equivalent transistors based on an error ratio. The error ratio x is the percentage of the difference between the actual value of the ratio K and the expected value. Determining the error ratio x determines the adjustment range of the ratio K. A starting point for adjusting the ratio K is selected based on the error ratio x, and the master or slave transistor is split according to the error ratio x. The master or slave transistor is split into two larger and smaller transistors. The larger transistor can be understood as occupying the majority of the original master or slave transistor size, and the current mirror function is primarily performed by this transistor. The other transistor is smaller and can be understood as a portion of the original master or slave transistor. A trimming circuit is electrically connected in series or parallel with the smaller transistor, adjusting the equivalent size of the smaller transistor to change the equivalent size of the master or slave transistor, thereby changing the value of the ratio K and improving the precision of the mirrored current output by the current mirror. Through this equivalent splitting method, the size of the smaller transistors is adjusted, and the comparison value K is adjusted by local approximation or trimming, which greatly reduces the size of the transistors in the trimming circuit and significantly reduces the current mirror layout. For example, when the length of the main transistor is L and the desired error ratio x is 20%, the main transistor is equivalently split into two transistors according to 20%L and 80%L. The trimming circuit is used to adjust the size of the transistor with a length of 20%L, ultimately achieving the correction of the comparison value K. For another example, when the width of the slave transistor is W and the desired error ratio x is 10%, the slave transistor is equivalently split into two transistors according to 10%W and 90%W. The trimming circuit is used to adjust the size of the transistor with a width of 10%W to achieve the correction of the comparison value k.

[0033] According to one embodiment, the widths of the master transistor and the slave transistor are equal, and the length of the master transistor or the slave transistor is divided according to the error ratio x. Alternatively, the lengths of the master transistor and the slave transistor are equal, and the width of the master transistor or the slave transistor is divided according to the error ratio x. This can generally achieve a better ratio K value adjustment effect for the current mirror.

[0034] The following describes the operating principle of the high-precision current mirror proposed in this application, taking the current mirror as an example in which all transistors are N-type transistors. However, the transistor types in the current mirror of this application are not limited to this embodiment; they can also be P-type transistors, for example. Depending on the transistor type, the connection relationship between the transistors in the current mirror can also be adaptively adjusted or varied.

[0035] Hereinafter, transistor width refers to the transistor channel width, transistor length refers to the transistor channel length, and transistor size is the ratio of the transistor channel width to the channel length.

[0037] According to one embodiment, a current mirror includes a current source 41, a common-gate transistor T42, and a transistor T43.

The master transistor group 44 is configured to receive a reference current Iin transmitted by transistor T42, and the slave transistor T45 is configured to generate a mirror current Iout proportional to the reference current Iin. The proportional relationship here refers to a ratio K.

[0039] According to one embodiment, the main transistor group 44 includes two transistors with a common gate and a common source, namely a first transistor T441 and a second transistor T442. Common gate and common source means that the gates or control electrodes of the transistors are electrically connected to each other, and the sources or second electrodes thereof are electrically connected to each other.

[0040] According to one embodiment, a first electrode of the first transistor T441 is electrically connected to a second electrode of the transistor T42 .

[0041] According to one embodiment, the current mirror may further include a first switch S443.

The first electrode of the slave transistor T45 is electrically connected to the second electrode of the transistor T43 .

[0044] According to one embodiment, the second electrode of the slave transistor T45 is connected to ground.

[0045] According to one embodiment, the ratio of the size of the slave transistor T45 to the equivalent size of the master transistor group 44 is K, and the error ratio of the ratio K is x. The size of the first transistor T441 may be 1-x times the ratio of the size of the slave transistor T45 to the ratio K, and the size of the second transistor T442 may be x times the ratio of the size of the slave transistor T45 to the ratio K.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present application, the lengths of the first transistor T441 , the second transistor T442 , and the slave transistor T45 may be substantially equal, but the widths thereof may be unequal.

[0047] According to one embodiment, the width of the second transistor T442 may be x times the equivalent width of the main transistor group 44, and the width of the first transistor T441 may be (1-x) times the equivalent width of the main transistor group 44. Wherein, x is a percentage not greater than 50%. In one embodiment of the present application, x is a percentage not greater than 20%. For example, the equivalent length of the main transistor group is L0 and the equivalent width is W0, and the ideal ratio is K, and the error ratio is set to x. In this case, the width of the first transistor T441 is and the width of the second transistor T442 , the lengths of the first transistor T441 and the second transistor T442 are both L0.

[0048] In another embodiment of the present application, the widths of the first transistor T441 , the second transistor T442 , and the slave transistor T45 may be substantially equal, but the lengths thereof may be unequal.

[0049] According to one embodiment, the transistor T42 , the transistor T43 , the slave transistor T45 , the first transistor T441 , and the second transistor T442 may be of the same type, for example, N-type transistors.

[0050] According to one embodiment, the current mirror may include a first trimming circuit 46 and / or a second trimming circuit 47 electrically connected to the second transistor T442 to achieve bidirectional adjustment of the contrast value K.

[0051] In one embodiment, the first trimming circuit 46 is configured to decrease the value of the ratio K. The second trimming circuit 47 is configured to increase the value of the ratio K.

[0052] In one embodiment, the first trimming circuit 46 includes a first group of transistors shared with the first transistor T441 and the second transistor T442, and a first group of switches. The first group of transistors includes transistors T460 through T46n, and the first group of switches includes switches S460 through S46n electrically connected between the first terminals of each of the transistors T460 through T46n and the first terminal of the first switch S443. The first group of switches is configured to electrically connect the first terminals of corresponding transistors T460 through T46n to the first terminal of the second transistor T442 when the first switch S443 is closed, thereby connecting the corresponding transistors in parallel with the second transistor T442 and increasing the equivalent size of the second transistor T442. Here, n is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0053] In one embodiment, the transistors T460 to T46n may be of the same type as the transistor T42, the transistor T43, the slave transistor T45, the first transistor T441, and the second transistor T442.

[0054] According to one embodiment, in the first trimming circuit 46 , the transistors T460 to T46 n in the first transistor group are connected in parallel.

[0055] According to one embodiment, the control electrodes of the transistors T460 to T46n in the first transistor group are electrically connected to each other and to the control electrodes of the first transistor T441 and the second transistor T442, and their respective second electrodes are electrically connected to the second electrode of the second transistor T442.

[0056] According to one embodiment, when the first switch S443 is closed, the first trimming circuit 46 operates. Through the first switch S443, the first trimming circuit 46 is electrically connected to the second transistor T442. Closing a switch in the first switch group connects the corresponding transistor in the first transistor group to the current mirror, increasing the equivalent size of the second transistor T442 and, consequently, the equivalent size of the main transistor group 44, thereby decreasing the ratio K. The number of closed switches in the first switch group can be freely combined to achieve the desired trimming accuracy.

[0057] According to one embodiment, when the lengths of the transistors T460 to T46n in the first transistor group of the first trimming circuit 46 are similar to or the same as the equivalent length of the main transistor group 44, the trimming accuracy of the ratio K can be more effectively improved.

[0058] In one embodiment of the present application, the master transistor group 44 has an equivalent width of W0 and an equivalent length of L0; the slave transistor T45 has a width of W1 and a length of L1; the ratio The widths of transistors T460 to T46n in the first trimming circuit 46 are Ws1, Ws2, ..., Wsn, respectively, and their lengths are the same as the equivalent length of the main transistor group 44. The trimmed ratio This is equivalent to increasing the width of the main transistor group 44 so that the ratio K decreases.

[0059] In one embodiment, the sizes of transistors T460 to T46n in the first transistor group may be, for example, 1%, 2%, 5%, etc., of the equivalent size of the main transistor group 44 , and the specific proportion is related to the actual trimming accuracy.

[0060] According to one embodiment, the second trimming circuit 47 includes a second group of transistors sharing a common gate with the first transistor T441 and the second transistor T442, and a second group of switches. The second group of transistors includes transistors T470 through T47n, ​​and the second group of switches includes switches S470 through S47n electrically connected between the first electrodes of transistors T470 through T47n and the first electrode of the first transistor T441, respectively. The second group of switches is configured to electrically connect the first electrodes of transistors T470 through T47n to the first electrode of the first transistor T441, thereby reducing the equivalent size of the second transistor T442.

[0061] According to one embodiment, the control electrodes of the transistors T470 to T47n are electrically connected to each other and to the control electrodes of the first transistor T441 and the second transistor T442, and the respective second electrodes are electrically connected to the first electrode of the second transistor T442.

[0062] In one embodiment, the transistors T470 to T47n may be of the same type as the transistor T42, the transistor T43, the slave transistor T45, the first transistor T441, and the second transistor T442.

[0063] In one embodiment, transistors T470 to T47n in the second trimming circuit 47 are connected in parallel.

[0064] According to one embodiment, when the first switch S443 is disconnected, switches S460 through S46n in the first trimming circuit 46 are disconnected, and the second trimming circuit 47 operates. By closing switches in the second switch group, the corresponding transistors are connected to the current mirror, reducing the equivalent size of the second transistor T442, thereby reducing the equivalent size of the main transistor group 44 and increasing the value of the ratio K. The number of closed switches in the second switch group is selected based on actual needs.

[0065] In one embodiment, the sizes of the transistors T470 to T47n may be, for example, 2%, 3%, 5%, etc., of the equivalent size of the main transistor group 44 , and the specific proportion is related to the actual trimming accuracy.

[0066] According to one embodiment, when the widths of the transistors T470 to T47n in the second trimming circuit 47 are similar to or the same as the width of the second transistor T442, the trimming accuracy of the ratio K can be more effectively improved.

[0067] According to one embodiment, the first trimming circuit 46 and the second trimming circuit 47 do not operate at the same time.

[0068] According to one embodiment, the sizes of transistors T460 through T46n in the first trimming circuit 46 increase in geometric proportion, with the size ratio being a first fixed value. That is, the size ratio of the preceding transistor to the succeeding transistor is a first fixed value, which can achieve a better trimming effect for the ratio K. For example, the size ratio of transistor T461 to transistor T460 is 2, the size ratio of transistor T462 to transistor T461 is 2, and so on.

[0069] According to one embodiment, the sizes of transistors T470 through T47n in the second trimming circuit 47 increase proportionally, with the size ratio being a second fixed value. That is, the size ratio of each transistor to the size of the previous transistor is a second fixed value. In this case, a better trimming effect of the ratio K can be achieved. For example, the size ratio of transistor T471 to transistor T470 is 3, the size ratio of transistor T472 to transistor T471 is 3, and so on.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first fixed value and the second fixed value may be equal to each other, which facilitates the control of the trimming circuit and achieves good trimming accuracy.

[0071] In some embodiments, the transistors T460 to T46n in the first trimming circuit 46 may not have a fixed size ratio with each other.

[0072] In some other embodiments of the present application, the transistors T470 to T47n in the second trimming circuit 47 may not have a fixed size ratio with each other.

[0073] For example, the equivalent width of the main transistor group 44 is W0, and the equivalent length is L0. The width of the first transistor T441 and the second transistor T442 are both 50% W0, that is, the value of x is 50%, and the lengths of both are L0. Ideally, the mirror current Transistor T45 has a channel width of KW0 and a channel length of L0. In this case, in the first trimming circuit 46, the channel lengths of transistors T460 to T46n in the first transistor group are all L0, the first fixed value is 2, and the channel widths can be 2% W0, 4% W0, and 8% W0, respectively. In the second trimming circuit 47, the channel widths of transistors T470 to T47n in the second transistor group can all be 50% W0, the second fixed value is 2, and the channel lengths can be 2% L0, 4% L0, and 8% L0, respectively.

[0074] When the ratio K is reduced, the first switch S443 is closed and the switches S470 to S47n in the second trimming circuit 47 are opened, and the first trimming circuit 46 is in operation. In this case, the switch S460 is closed, the other switches are opened, and the transistor T460 is connected to the current mirror. The trimmed ratio When switches S460 and S461 are closed and other switches are closed, the adjusted ratio .
