BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0019] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application or the prior art, the drawings needed in the embodiments will be briefly introduced. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present application, and other drawings can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on these drawings.

[0020] Figure 1 The system module flowchart of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0022] Embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 As shown in the drawings, the low-noise operational amplifier frequency compensation system described in the embodiments includes:

[0023] Frequency characteristic extraction module: obtain the open-loop gain and phase response curve of the target low-noise operational amplifier at different frequency points, and extract the low-frequency cutoff point ω1, the unity gain frequency ωu and the maximum phase lag θm.

[0024] The low-noise operational amplifier is tested in open-loop connection. By disconnecting the closed-loop feedback path, a sinusoidal excitation signal with constant amplitude is applied to the input, and the output response is measured using a vector network analyzer. The frequency scanning range is set to 10 Hz to 10 MHz, and the open-loop gain (in decibels) and phase response (in degrees) data at each frequency point are recorded at linear intervals to obtain the complete frequency response curve.

[0025] The feature point extraction process is performed on the obtained frequency response curve. With open-loop gain as the vertical axis and frequency as the horizontal axis, the gain variation trend with frequency is analyzed, and the position where the open-loop gain first decreases and approaches 0 decibels is identified, i.e. the intersection point of the gain curve and the 0 decibel line, defined as the unity gain frequency, denoted as ωu. If the intersection point falls between two sampling points, the linear interpolation method is used to calculate the accurate frequency value of the intersection point to improve the measurement accuracy.

[0026] The phase response data is fitted using a third-order polynomial curve fitting method. The phase response data is fitted with frequency f as the independent variable, and the fitting function is where a, b, c, d are the fitting coefficients, and the optimal solution is determined by the least squares method. At the point corresponding to the unity gain frequency ωu, the phase response angle at this frequency point is calculated by substituting the fitting function φ(f), and then the minimum phase angle value near this position is identified, and the minimum phase angle is defined as the maximum phase lag angle, denoted as θm. This parameter is used to reflect the stability margin of the operational amplifier near the unity gain point.

[0027] Based on the gain-frequency response slope variation law, the derivative method is used to detect the inflection point position of the frequency response curve to extract the low-frequency cutoff point frequency. First, the first derivative of the gain curve is calculated to construct the function G'(f), which represents the gain reduction rate under unit frequency change. In the low frequency region, the maximum value position of G'(f) is detected, which is the point where the gain decreases most rapidly, and the corresponding frequency is defined as the low-frequency cutoff point, denoted as ω1.

[0028] Compensation parameter construction module: construct the frequency compensation parameter group P={P1, P2,..., Pn}, where Pi={Ci, Ri}, Ci is the compensation capacitance value, Ri is the equivalent compensation resistance value, and Pn is the maximum compensation capacitive resistance range.

[0029] Based on the obtained unit gain frequency, maximum phase lag angle and low frequency cutoff point frequency, the value range of the compensation capacitor value is determined. The lower limit of the compensation capacitor value is calculated according to the target minimum phase margin. The upper limit is determined according to the stability constraint of the closed-loop system under direct current condition. When the compensation capacitor value exceeds the upper limit, it may cause a large decrease in direct current gain or uncontrolled pole migration, thereby causing zero drift or closed-loop oscillation.

[0030] Within the above-mentioned compensation capacitor value range, a plurality of compensation capacitor candidate values are generated according to a fixed linear step. Specifically, the step length is set as ΔC, the starting value is C1, and the maximum value is Cn. Then the compensation capacitor sequence is , i = 1 to n. For each compensation capacitor value, the corresponding equivalent compensation resistance value is calculated through the equivalent small signal model. The model is based on a second-order frequency response equation, and the resistance-capacitance relationship that can achieve the target zero-pole configuration is analytically solved under the condition that the preset gain-bandwidth product remains unchanged. The equivalent compensation resistance value can be calculated by the formula , where fi represents the target frequency position corresponding to the compensation pole, which is configured according to the actual application scenario.

[0031] Each compensation capacitor value is paired and combined with the corresponding calculated equivalent compensation resistance value to form a complete compensation parameter unit, denoted as , where Ci is the i-th compensation capacitor value, and Ri is the equivalent compensation resistance value matched therewith. All generated parameter units constitute a frequency compensation parameter set P = {P1, P2,..., Pn}, where Pn is the maximum numbered parameter unit.

[0032] Finally, all parameter units are sorted according to the impedance amplitude value formed by the compensation capacitor value and the equivalent compensation resistance value in each parameter unit. The impedance amplitude value is defined as , where is the reference frequency. The compensation parameter unit with the largest impedance amplitude value is extracted through sorting, and is defined as the parameter corresponding to the maximum compensation impedance range, denoted as Pn. This parameter unit provides the strongest compensation capability under the condition of ensuring system stability, and is used to determine the boundary characteristics of the frequency compensation parameter group.

[0033] Frequency domain stability modeling module: based on the obtained ω1, ωu and θm characteristics, an initial frequency domain stability model M0 is constructed.

[0034] The target phase response curve in the frequency range and the open-loop gain envelope are defined with the unit gain frequency, the maximum phase lag angle, and the low-frequency cutoff point as the input boundary conditions. The above three parameters define the start and end positions of the working bandwidth of the model, the lower limit of stability, and the reference point of the zero-pole layout. On this basis, an ideal phase response curve is constructed as a target function for subsequent transfer function fitting.

[0035] An open-loop transfer function model is established. The transfer function form is defined as where G(s) represents the open-loop response function of the low-noise operational amplifier in the Laplace domain, A is the low-frequency gain constant, ω1 is the low-frequency pole frequency corresponding to the low-frequency cutoff point, and ωz is the compensation zero frequency used to improve the phase margin near the unit gain frequency. s is the independent variable in the complex frequency domain (complex Laplace domain), which is used to represent the frequency response or dynamic behavior of a system. The transfer function is a standard second-order single-input single-output system function with one low-frequency pole and one mid-frequency zero. By adjusting the three variables A, ω1, and ωz, the measured gain-phase response data under the aforementioned boundary conditions are fitted, so that the model response curve approximates the measured curve.

[0036] The open-loop transfer function model and each compensation parameter unit in the compensation parameter group are coupled to form a frequency response mapping model. The compensation parameter unit is Pi={Ci, Ri} formed in the aforementioned construction process, where Ci is the compensation capacitance value and Ri is the corresponding equivalent compensation resistance value. According to the definition relationship of ωz in the transfer function, ωz is expressed as and substituted into the expression of G(s) to realize the quantitative coupling of the compensation parameter and the model frequency characteristic. In this way, each compensation parameter unit Pi corresponds to a unique Gi(s) expression, and its frequency response function is obtained.

[0037] The initial frequency domain stability model is defined as the response function set containing the above frequency response mapping relationship, denoted as M0={G1(s), G2(s),..., Gn(s)}, where n is the number of compensation parameter units. Each Gi(s) expression can be analyzed in the same frequency scanning range, which is convenient for subsequent extraction of stability indicators such as phase margin and gain margin through numerical methods.

[0038] Frequency scanning simulation module: the frequency compensation parameter group P is sequentially imported into the initial frequency domain stability model M0, and the stability function F(Pi) under each compensation configuration is obtained through frequency scanning simulation, and each group Pi is marked to see if it meets the stability critical condition F(Pi)≥Φ0, where Φ0 is the preset minimum phase margin.

[0039] Each compensation parameter unit generated in the frequency compensation parameter group is sequentially substituted into the initial frequency domain stability model to generate its corresponding frequency response function. Specifically, for any set of compensation parameter units Pi={Ci, Ri}, where Ci is the compensation capacitance value and Ri is the equivalent compensation resistance value, according to the coupling relationship established in the foregoing frequency domain modeling step, substitute into the open-loop transfer function expression G(s) to form a complete frequency response function Gi(s). The function can describe the gain and phase response characteristics of the system in the frequency domain under compensation conditions.

[0040] Numerical simulation is performed on the frequency response function within the set frequency scanning range. The frequency scanning range is set to 10 Hz to 10 MHz, and is discretely scanned in a logarithmic coordinate uniform sampling manner. For each response function Gi(s), the phase response curve is solved at the scanning frequency points, and the phase angle value corresponding to the unit gain frequency is extracted. The unit gain frequency is the frequency point at which the gain of the frequency response function first drops to 0 decibels.

[0041] The extracted phase response value is compared with the preset minimum phase margin threshold to construct a stability function expression. Let be the phase response value of the compensation parameter unit Pi at the unit gain frequency, and Φ0 be the stability judgment threshold (usually set to 45 degrees), then the stability function is defined as: where is the phase response corresponding to the compensation parameter unit; when F(Pi) is greater than or equal to 0, it indicates that the phase margin under the compensation configuration meets the minimum stability requirement.

[0042] Numerical judgment is performed on the stability function values corresponding to each compensation parameter unit. If the stability function value of a certain unit is greater than or equal to zero, i.e., it meets the stability margin condition, then the compensation parameter unit is assigned a "qualified" label; if it is less than zero, it is assigned an "unqualified" label, which is used to eliminate parameter combinations that do not have engineering feasibility in the subsequent optimization process.

[0043] All compensation parameter units that have completed judgment and are labeled with labels are unified and arranged into a structured result set. The structured result set includes the compensation capacitance value, compensation resistance value, stability function value, and corresponding effectiveness label of each compensation parameter unit. The result set is recorded in a two-dimensional structure and can be represented in the form of a table or data matrix, facilitating subsequent sorting and screening operations.

[0044] To facilitate the selection of the optimal compensation strategy, the compensation parameter units marked as "qualified" are sorted according to the size of their stability function values. The sorting can be in ascending order or descending order, and the selection is based on the system design goals. For example, if the maximum phase margin is prioritized, the compensation parameter units can be arranged in descending order of F(Pi), and the compensation parameter unit corresponding to the maximum value is extracted for final feedback to the amplifier circuit design link.

[0045] Optimal compensation extraction module: According to the F(Pi) marking result, the minimum compensation parameter set P* that meets the stability requirement is extracted, and P* is fed back to adjust the original amplifier frequency compensation link.

[0046] From the compensation parameter units marked as "qualified" in the aforementioned frequency scanning simulation and stability function judgment steps, the parameter set with all stability function values greater than zero is screened out. Let the stability function be where represents the phase response angle at the unity gain frequency, and Φ0 is the minimum phase margin threshold (such as 45 degrees). Only when F(Pi)>0, it means that the corresponding compensation parameter unit not only meets the minimum phase margin requirement, but also has a certain margin space and has the potential for further optimization. All parameter units that meet this condition are recorded as the candidate compensation set S1.

[0047] Based on the preset optimization goal, the total equivalent capacitance of each compensation parameter unit is defined as an evaluation index, which is used to measure the occupation degree of the compensation loop to the system resources. The capacitance amplitude Through the equivalent formula of resistance-capacitance series, it is defined as: ; where is the equivalent compensation resistance value, is the compensation capacitance value, is the unity gain frequency, and the capacitance unit is ohm. This index comprehensively considers the impedance characteristics under the joint influence of capacitance and resistance, and is used to compress the compensation resources while maintaining stability.

[0048] Under the premise of ensuring that the stability function value is positive, the parameter unit with the smallest capacitance amplitude is extracted from the candidate compensation set S1, and is recorded as P*. P* is the set of parameters that meet the phase margin requirement, with the smallest circuit resource consumption and the highest frequency response efficiency, and has realizability and optimality.

[0049] The obtained minimum compensation parameter set P* is fed back to the frequency compensation loop of the original low-noise operational amplifier, and the specific device parameter replacement or circuit structure adjustment is performed according to the compensation capacitance value C* and the equivalent compensation resistance value R*. The specific mode includes replacing the compensation capacitance component in the feedback network, adjusting the transconductance stage resistance matching unit, or updating the operational amplifier internal frequency compensation pole design according to the zero point position calculated by P*, so as to ensure that the frequency stability performance consistent with the simulation expectation is realized in the actual application.

[0050] Through the above minimum compensation parameter extraction and feedback process, the minimum configuration of the frequency compensation resource can be realized while meeting the circuit stability requirement, and the synergy of the analog front end in power consumption, area, phase margin and other performance indicators is effectively improved.

[0051] The low-noise operational amplifier frequency compensation method provided by the application constructs an initial frequency domain stability model around the unit gain frequency, the maximum phase lag angle and the low-frequency cutoff point and other frequency domain characteristic parameters, and performs frequency scanning simulation combined with the compensation parameter group, realizes the quantitative evaluation of the phase margin and the function mapping of the compensation effect, accurately selects the compensation parameter unit meeting the stability requirement through the stability function judgment and the label marking mechanism, and further extracts the capacitor-resistor combination with the minimum resource occupation under the condition of ensuring the phase margin by using the minimum capacitance resistance optimization strategy, and feeds back to the frequency compensation loop design, which significantly improves the compensation efficiency and system stability.

[0052] The above is only a specific embodiment of the application, but the protection scope of the application is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the application.
