Embodiment
In order to make purpose of the present invention, technical scheme and advantage clearer,, the present invention is further elaborated below in conjunction with drawings and Examples.Should be appreciated that specific embodiment described herein only in order to explanation the present invention, and be not used in qualification the present invention.
The bias current generating circuit that the embodiment of the invention provides when not needing the maximum bias electric current, is exported little bias current at the zero crossing output maximum bias electric current of input signal, has reduced power consumption, has improved voltage conversioning rate; Adopt open loop control simultaneously, avoided the problem of poor stability.
The bias current generating circuit that the embodiment of the invention provides can adopt complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS), and (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor, CMOS) technology making also can adopt the bipolar technology (Bipolar) of simulation to make; This bias current generating circuit is mainly used in field of power management and microelectronics technology.
Fig. 1 shows the bias current generating circuit that the embodiment of the invention provides, and for convenience of explanation, only shows the part relevant with the embodiment of the invention, and details are as follows.
Bias current generating circuit comprises: power supply 100, first switch 101, second switch 102, storing up/release can element 103, the first transistor 104, transistor seconds 105 and reference current 106; Wherein, an end that stores up/release energy element 103 is connected with power supply 100 by first switch 101, also is connected with the grid of the first transistor 104 with transistor seconds 105 by second switch 102; Other end ground connection; When 101 conductings of first switch, when second switch 102 disconnects, store up/release and to be used for energy storage by element 103; When first switch 101 disconnects, during second switch 102 conductings, store up/release and to be used to release energy by element 103; Source/the grounded drain of the first transistor 104, grid all is connected with reference current 106 with leakage/source electrode; Source/the grounded drain of transistor seconds 105, grid connect reference current 106, can element 103 release can be to the gate charges of the first transistor 104 and transistor seconds 105 time when storing up/releasing, by 105 leakage/source electrode output offset electric current I B of transistor seconds.
As one embodiment of the present of invention, bias current generating circuit also comprises: zero cross detection circuit 107, and export control signal DB and D according to input signal Vi, and control the break-make of first switch 101 and second switch 102.
In embodiments of the present invention, store up/release and to be capacitor C 1 by element, also can be any element that can realize store electrical energy and discharge electric energy.
Now the bias current generating circuit principle that the embodiment of the invention provides is described in conjunction with Fig. 2: when the input signal Vi of zero passage testing circuit 107 is sine wave, the control signal D and the reverse each other square wave of DB of zero cross detection circuit 107 outputs.When DB is high level, the 101 closed conductings of first switch, second switch 102 disconnects, and power supply 100 gives capacitor C 1 charging; When D is high level, first switch 101 disconnects, second switch 102 closed conductings, the electric energy that is stored in the capacitor C 1 passes through the gate charges of second switch 102 to the first transistor 104 and transistor seconds 105, make the instantaneous rising of grid voltage of transistor seconds 105, therefore the also very fast increase of drain electrode output offset electric current I B of transistor seconds 105 provides maximum bias current Im at zero crossing M; The grid voltage of transistor seconds 105 progressively discharges by the first transistor 104 then, makes bias current IB gradually reduce quiescent current Iref.Can guarantee like this when input signal Vi zero crossing M, bias current IB maximum, At All Other Times, bias current IB reduces to quiescent bias current Iref from Im gradually, can satisfy average current Iav much smaller than peak point current.
According to the principle of work of operational amplifier as can be known slew rate (Slew Rate, computing formula SR) is:
SR = | du dt | = | d ( A · sin ( ω · t ) ) dt | = A · ω · | cos ( ω · t ) |
When ω t=k π, SR maximum, i.e. SR Max=A ω;
When the electric capacity of driving is arranged in the circuit, according to law of conservation of charge, obtain Δ UC=I Δ t, so
When the electric capacity of driving is arranged in the circuit, according to law of conservation of charge, obtain Δ UC=I Δ t, so SR = Δu Δt = I C , Further can obtain: I Max=CSR Max=CA ω
Wherein, A is the amplitude of oscillation of output signal, and ω is the angular frequency of output signal, and C needs the capacitance that drives in the circuit.By above derivation as can be known, when the input signal zero crossing, need maximum bias current, and relatively little at non-zero crossing to the bias current demand.
If the zero crossing M at input signal Vi strengthens bias current, suitably regulate the Charge Storage amount, can well make the switching rate of zero crossing M meet the demands, simultaneously, at most of the time bias current IB is quiescent biasing Iref, can finish the requirement of low-power consumption (being low quiescent current), high conversion rate.
