Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to non-overlapping clock circuits, and more specifically to a 4&2 phase non-overlapping clock circuit for sharing by high-order operational amplifiers. Background Technology

[0002] Multiphase non-overlapping clocks play a crucial role in analog and mixed-signal circuits by strictly separating the clock phases, avoiding signal contention and short-circuit currents while ensuring precise timing control. This technique is particularly important in switched-capacitor circuits of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), where it ensures signal integrity by precisely managing the charging and discharging process of the capacitors, while reducing nonlinear distortion and charge injection errors. Meanwhile, with the increasing demand for low-power designs, op-amp sharing technology has emerged. This technology optimizes power consumption and area by time-division multiplexing a single op-amp. However, in low-power designs, its common-mode stability relies on switched-capacitor common-mode negative feedback (SC-CMFB) circuits. The implementation of SC-CMFB requires a strictly synchronized two-phase non-overlapping clock to maintain correct switching timing and prevent charge sharing and common-mode misalignment.

[0003] Therefore, from traditional switched-capacitor circuits to modern low-power operational amplifier shared architectures, multiphase non-overlapping clocks have always been a key timing control method to ensure circuit reliability and performance, providing important guarantees for the design of high-performance, low-power analog integrated circuits.

[0004] In the field of analog-to-digital converters, op-amp sharing is often achieved by using two non-overlapping clocks or by adding extra pins to introduce higher frequency clock signals to complete second- or third-order op-amp sharing. If the analog-to-digital converter and the operational amplifier use the same two-phase non-overlapping clock, it will greatly limit the number of times the analog-to-digital converter can reuse the operational amplifier, thus failing to fully utilize the power-saving advantage of the operational amplifier sharing technology. Adding extra pins will increase packaging costs and testing complexity, and affect signal integrity. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the technical problems in the field of existing analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) where op-amp sharing is often achieved by using two-phase non-overlapping clocks or adding extra pins to introduce higher frequency clock signals to complete second- or third-order op-amp sharing, which limits the number of times the op-amp can be reused in the ADC, and increases packaging costs and testing complexity.
