Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of power amplifier, and particularly relate to the power amplifier of stagnant the fixing time (dead time) between a kind of signal of dynamic adjustment internal control commutation circuit running, to reduce the common-mode noise (common noise) of power amplifier.
Background technology
Power amplifier (power amplifier) is being played the part of considerable role in integrated circuit (IC) design, it is applied in transmitter and receiver, the genuine stereo system equipment of high pass (high-fidelity stereo equipment), microcomputer and other electronic equipment of radio communication, television broadcasting widely.The function of power amplifier is for increasing signal energy, to drive load or next stage circuit.Therefore, the quality of power amplifier can be inquired into from its power gain, and wherein power gain is the ratio of power output and input power.
Power gain is big more, represents that the amplifying power of this power amplifier is good more.When input signal hour, its power gain curve of general power amplifier all has the good linearity.And when input signal was too big, output signal was no longer amplified with linearity curve, caused power gain to descend, and this phenomenon is referred to as gain compression.Hence one can see that, and along with input signal increases, if the late more generation of gain compression represents that then the linearity of this power amplifier is preferable, it is undistorted to keep output signal.
Power amplifier is looked its application and multiple classification is arranged, and mainly contains category-A, category-B, AB class, C class and D class etc.For instance, the Audio Signal Processing in hand-hold type and wheeled apparatus, the D power-like amplifier is used widely because of the advantage with high power conversion efficiency (greater than 90%).And some D power-like amplifier can use pulse-width modulator to produce continuous impulse, and these pulse durations change with audio frequency signal amplitude, with the running of commutation circuit in the control D power-like amplifier.Yet on the product of having relatively high expectations for signal distortion, the performance of D power-like amplifier is but good so not as the AB power-like amplifier.
Therefore, in order to improve the problem of D class A amplifier A output signal nonlinear distortion, just the someone proposes a kind of long-pendingization and poor (sigma-delta) D power-like amplifier, its signal distortion can be low than the AB power-like amplifier, and the characteristics that also keep D power-like amplifier high power conversion efficiency make long-pendingization and difference D power-like amplifier that very big competitive advantage be arranged on market.Yet long-pendingization and difference D power-like amplifier have a fatal shortcoming.When input signal arrives certain degree greatly, usually be about half of reference level, the full harmonic noise of long-pendingization and difference D power-like amplifier is than (total harmonic distortion plus noise, THD+N) the rapid change of meeting is big, wherein, full harmonic noise is than the distortion harmonic power and the summation of noise and the ratio of power output that produce for equipment itself.
In association area, No. 6924757 patent case of United States Patent (USP) notification number proposes a kind of D class that is applied to amplifies, and can reduce the long-pendingization sigma-delta modulator (" sigma delta modulator with reducing switching rate for use in class D amplification ") of switching rate.This piece patent is to utilize the input signal amplitude detector to judge the amplitude size of input signal, selects the interval size of magnetic hysteresis (hysteresis) of quantizer by a question blank (look-up table).When long-pendingization sigma-delta modulator when input signal becomes big, the magnetic hysteresis interval of quantizer is just bigger, and when input signal amplitude hour, the magnetic hysteresis interval of quantizer dwindles, to improve the stability and the signal noise ratio of signal.
Because quantizer has a magnetic hysteresis interval, make the average clock of long-pendingization sigma-delta modulator to descend, with the energy loss of the commutation circuit that alleviates D power-like amplifier (output stage), and the performance of the full harmonic noise ratio of lifting output signal.But this piece patent must be detected the amplitude of input signal in advance, selects suitable magnetic hysteresis interval by question blank again, and becomes the magnetic hysteresis control signal by circuit conversion.Therefore, the complexity of circuit system and consumed power can increase greatly, realize with respect to circuit also need expending bigger cost.

Differential when stagnant control module 160 comprise control module 120,130 when first and second is stagnant.First control module 120 when stagnating couples and differs from modulation module 110, and its first average signal M1 that will receive produces the first signal S1 and secondary signal S2 after logical process.Wherein, first control module 120 when stagnating determines stagnant fixing time (deadtime) between the first signal S1 and secondary signal S2 according to the first control signal CON1.In like manner, second control module 130 when stagnating couples and differs from modulation module 110, its second average signal M2 that will receive produces the 3rd signal S3 and the 4th signal S4 after logical process, and its foundation second control signal CON2 determines stagnant the fixing time between the 3rd signal S3 and the 4th signal S4.Output level module 140 for example is a D class A amplifier A circuit, and it is controlled by first-Di, four signal S1-S4 and produces output signal Von, Vop, to drive load 150.
Narrate the circuit running of present embodiment for convenience, the structure of output level module 140 is described earlier at this.Fig. 2 shows the schematic diagram of output level module 140 among embodiment of the invention Fig. 1.Please refer to Fig. 2, output level module 140 comprises first-Di, four transistor T 1-T4, and wherein, the first and the 3rd transistor T 1, T3 are the P transistor npn npn, and the second and the 4th transistor T 2, T4 are the N transistor npn npn.The grid of the first transistor T1 receives the first signal S1, its first source/drain electrode coupling system voltage VDD, and the grid of transistor seconds T2 receives secondary signal S2, and its first and second source/drain electrode couples second source/drain electrode and the earthed voltage GND of the first transistor T1 respectively.The grid of the 3rd transistor T 3 receives the 3rd signal S3, its first source/drain electrode couples first source/drain electrode of the first transistor T1, and the grid of the 4th transistor T 4 receives the 4th signal S4, and its first and second source/drain electrode couples second source/drain electrode of the 3rd transistor T 3 and second source/drain electrode of transistor seconds T2 respectively.Second source/drain electrode of the first and the 3rd transistor T 1, T3 produces output signal Vop, Von respectively in the output level module 140, to drive load 150.
With first and second transistor T 1, T2, the two is controlled by the first signal S1 and secondary signal S2 respectively and whether determines conducting.For fear of first and second transistor T 1, T2 conducting simultaneously, cause output signal Vop instability, thereby need control stagnant the fixing time (dead time) between the first signal S1 and secondary signal S2 effectively.Fig. 3 shows the schematic diagram that stagnates and fix time.Please refer to Fig. 3, stagnate fix time 301 for first and second signal S1, S2 control respectively first and second transistor T 1, not conducting of T2 during.But in like manner also inference to the three and the 4th signal S3, S4.
In addition, output signal Vop, Von might be logic high because of the control of first-Di, four signal S1-S4 is improper simultaneously also, perhaps be logic low simultaneously, the sense of current of this expression output signal Vop, the two driving load 150 of Von is simultaneous.In brief, therefore common-mode noise also can become big, and reduces power amplifier in the performance of full harmonic noise ratio.Therefore, present embodiment is just at the stability that promotes output signal Vop, Von, and improves power amplifier and improve in the performance of full harmonic noise ratio.

In this hypothesis quantifying unit 113 is the quantizer of three level formulas, and it comprises first and second comparator 117,118 and logical circuit 119.First and second comparator 117,118 receives differential mode error signal Vep, Ven, and first and second comparator 117,118 quantizes differential mode error signal Vep, Ven according to the level difference (REF1-REF2) of the first reference signal REF1 and the second reference signal REF2 and the level difference (REF2-REF1) of the second reference signal REF2 and the first reference signal REF1 respectively.And logical circuit 119 receives the signal of first and second comparator 117,118 outputs, produces first and second average signal M1, M2 through logical process.
For instance, the dynamic model formula of being on duty error signal Vep, Ven when system voltage VDD is interval with (REF1-REF2) level, first and second average signal M1, M2 be respectively logic high (for example: 1) and logic low (for example: 0).The dynamic model formula of being on duty error signal Vep, Ven are when (REF1-REF2) is interval with level (REF2-REF1), and first and second average signal M1, M2 (for example: 0) are all logic low.In addition, the dynamic model formula of being on duty error signal Vep, Ven between (REF2-REF1) and negative system voltage (when level VDD) is interval, first and second average signal M1, M2 be respectively logic low (for example: 0) and logic high (for example: 1).
Though the quantifying unit 113 of present embodiment so is not limited to this scope for the quantizer with three level formulas (1.5) is an example, this area has knows that usually the knowledgeable can adjust the quantization level of quantifying unit 113 according to this, for example: 1 quantifying unit.But 1.5 quantifying unit 113 can the quantifying unit than 1 provide higher signal stabilization degree in the present embodiment.
Next, be described in detail first and second control module 120,130 formed when stagnant differential stagnant the time control module 160 the circuit running.Fig. 5 A shows among the embodiment of the invention Fig. 1 schematic diagram of first control module 120 when stagnating.Please refer to Fig. 5 A, control module 120 is the example explanation when this stagnates with first, and it comprises first and second NOR gate OR1, OR2, first and second delay cell 121,122 and first and second buffer cell 123,124.The first NOR gate OR1 receives anti-phase first average signal M1 (it is that the first average signal M1 produces through inverter INV7) and secondary signal S2, and produces the 5th signal S5.The second NOR gate OR2 receives first average signal M1 (it is that the first average signal M1 produces through inverter INV7, INV8) and the anti-phase first signal S1 (it is that the first signal S1 produces through inverter INV6), and produces the 6th signal S6.
Fig. 5 B shows the sequential chart of embodiment of the invention Fig. 5 A.For making the reader can know the variation of understanding between each signal, in Fig. 5 A, add ingress A, B, C, D, it is respectively the first average signal M1, the first signal S1, secondary signal S2 and output signal Vop.Please refer to Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B, first and second switch SW 1, SW2 are controlled by the first control signal CON1 and determine whether conducting, when first and second switch SW 1, SW2 conducting, the the 5th and the 6th signal S5, S6 time of delay can be shorter, and then it is also shorter that stagnant between first and second signal S1, S2 fixed time.Otherwise when first and second switch SW 1, not conducting of SW2, the 5th and the 6th signal S5, S6 are longer time of delay, and then it is also longer that stagnant between first and second signal S1, S2 fixed time.
Thus, 120 couples first average signal M1 of first control module when stagnating carry out producing after the logical process first and second signal S1, the S2 corresponding to the first average signal M1, and first control module 120 when stagnating can determine stagnant the fixing time between first and second signal S1, S2 according to the first control signal CON1.The structure of second control module 130 when stagnating is first control module 120 when stagnant also as among Fig. 5 A, it carries out producing after the logical process the 3rd and the 4th signal S3, S4 corresponding to the second average signal M2 to the second average signal M2, and second control module 130 when stagnating determines stagnant the fixing time between the 3rd and the 4th signal S3, S4 according to the second control signal CON2.
In addition, narration (embodiment Fig. 2) as above-mentioned output level module 140, if first-Di, four signal S1-S4 because of control the improper output signal Vop that output level module 140 is produced, when the Von logic level is identical, just probably can cause common-mode noise to become big, and then reduce the performance of full harmonic noise ratio.Therefore, at this hypothesis present embodiment first and second control signal CON1, CON2 is respectively and differ from first and second average signal M1, the M2 that modulation module 110 is produced.
Because present embodiment is for adopting 1.5 quantifying unit 113, so the collocation of first and second average signal M1, M2 has three kinds of logic states, be respectively (M1=1, M2=0), (M1=0, M2=0) and (M1=0, M2=1).Control module 120,130 independent runnings out of the ordinary when stagnant from first and second, stagnant fixing time between control module 120 was produced when first average signal M1 control first stagnated first and second signal S1, S2, and stagnant the fixing time between second average signal M2 control second control module 130 is produced when stagnating the 3rd and the 4th signal S3, S4.And for first and second when stagnant control module 120,130 operate simultaneously, the logic state difference that first and second average signal M1, M2 are arranged in pairs or groups, also can adjust the time that output signal Vop, Von change its logic level, and then improve the problem of common-mode noise in the past.
Though first and second control signal of above-mentioned hypothesis CON1, CON2 are respectively first and second average signal M1, M2, so are not limited thereto scope, the outside control signal that is provided also is provided for first and second control signal CON1, CON2.By above-mentioned several embodiment, can reduce following method flow at this.Fig. 6 shows the flow chart of method of common-mode noise of the reduction power amplifier of one embodiment of the invention.Please refer to Fig. 6, at first, receive differential mode input signal Vip, Vin (step S601).As implement the narration of illustration 4, with differential mode input signal Vip, Vin respectively with error intergal and the quantification of output signal Vop, Von, to produce first and second average signal M1, M2 (step S602).
And as implement the narration of illustration 5A, produce the first signal S1 and secondary signal S2 through logical process, and generation is corresponding to the 3rd signal S3 and the 4th signal S4 (step S603) of the second average signal M2 corresponding to the first average signal M1.Wherein, stagnant between the first signal S1 and secondary signal S2 fixed time to being controlled by the first control signal CON1, and stagnant the fixing time to being controlled by the second control signal CON2 between the 3rd signal S3 and the 4th signal S4.At last, as implementing the narration of illustration 2, according to first-Di, four signal S1-S4, control power amplifiers produces output signal Vop, Von, to drive load (step S604).
In sum, present embodiment utilization and difference modulation module 110 provide Circuits System one loop response, and between first and second signal S1, the S2 of control module 120,130 is formed when utilizing first and second stagnant when differential stagnant control module 160 adjusts output level module 140 inner control commutation circuits running and stagnant the fixing time between the 3rd and the 4th signal S3, S4, use the error that is produced because of the technology variation on the balanced differential path, and the common-mode noise of reduction power amplifier, and then the performance that improves full harmonic noise ratio.On circuit was realized, control module 120,130 was the circuit that simple logic module constituted when first and second was stagnant, and its circuit complexity and power consumption are also less.
