Tunable capacitor Cv is by capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0] regulate capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0] state value be binary numeral.The circuit of tunable capacitor Cv as shown in Figure 4, tunable capacitor Cv is composed in parallel by capacitor C 0, Cv0, Cv1, Cv2, Cv3, Cv4, capacitor C v0, Cv1, Cv2, Cv3, Cv4 connect with switch element SW0, SW1, SW2, SW3, SW4 respectively accordingly, and switch element SW0, SW1, SW2, SW3, SW4 are respectively accordingly by capacitance selection signal Capsel0, Capsel1, Capsel2, Capsel3, Capsel4 control.Change capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0] state value can change the capacitance of tunable capacitor Cv, capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0] state value big more, the capacitance of tunable capacitor Cv is big more.In the present embodiment, the circuit that the capacitor C v0 of tunable capacitor Cv, Cv1, Cv2, Cv3, Cv4 form is the power condenser network, be capacitor C v3, Cv2, Cv1, the capacitance of Cv0 be respectively Cv4 capacitance 1/2,1/4,1/8,1/16, and the capacitance of Cv4 is by the size decision of the resistance and the capacitance deviation of process corner generation.
The anode input of operational amplifier A MP is connected with bias voltage Vbias, and capacitor C 1 is connected between the negative terminal input and output of operational amplifier A MP.The grid of transistor MN1 is connected with the output of operational amplifier A MP, source ground, and drain electrode is connected with drain electrode with the source electrode of transistor MN2, the grid of transistor MN3.The grid of transistor MN2 is connected with the grid of transistor MN4.The source ground of transistor MN3, drain electrode is connected with the source electrode of transistor MN4.The drain electrode of transistor MN4 is connected with the grid of transistor MN5, the source electrode of transistor MN6.The source ground of transistor MN5, drain electrode is connected with the source electrode of transistor MN7.The grid of transistor MN6 is connected with the grid of transistor MN7, MN8, and drain electrode is connected with the grid of transistor MN9.The drain electrode of transistor MN7 is connected with the negative terminal input of operational amplifier A MP.The source electrode of transistor MN8 is connected with the drain electrode of transistor MN9.The source ground of transistor MN9.
The drain current of transistor MN8 is the reference current Iref that current generating unit 10 produces.The reference current Iref that is produced by above-mentioned current generating unit 10 can be by following formulate:
Iref=fCLK1*Vbias*Cv
Under the situation of the frequency f CLK1 of clock signal clk 1, the bias voltage Vbias value of being maintained fixed, reference current Iref is only relevant with tunable capacitor Cv, promptly is directly proportional with tunable capacitor Cv.
Voltage comparison unit 11, produce the directly proportional reference voltage Vref of product of the reference current Iref that is produced with reference resistance Rref and described current generating unit 10, described reference voltage Vref and the first normal voltage Vhth, the second normal voltage Vlth are compared, the first normal voltage Vhth is higher than the second normal voltage Vlth, and output comparative result HO, LO.
Please refer to Fig. 2, the reference current Iref that current generating unit 10 produces flows through reference resistance Rref, the end ground connection of reference resistance Rref, and the voltage of the other end is reference voltage Vref, and therefore, reference voltage Vref can be by following formulate:
Vref=Iref*Rref=fCLK1*Vbias*Cv*Rref
Under the situation of the frequency f CLK1 of clock signal clk 1, the bias voltage Vbias value of being maintained fixed, reference voltage Vref is only relevant with tunable capacitor Cv, reference resistance Rref, promptly be directly proportional with the product of reference resistance Rref with tunable capacitor Cv, when tunable capacitor Cv, reference resistance Rref because of process corner changes skew took place, reference voltage Vref also can be offset thereupon.
Reference voltage Vref connects the anode input of comparator C OMP1, and the first normal voltage Vhth connects the negative terminal input of comparator C OMP1, and comparator C OMP1 is output as comparative result HO.If reference voltage Vref is higher than the first normal voltage Vhth, then export comparative result HO=1, if reference voltage Vref is less than or equal to the first normal voltage Vhth, then export comparative result HO=0.
The second normal voltage Vlth connects the anode input of comparator C OMP2, and reference voltage Vref connects the negative terminal input of comparator C OMP2, and comparator C OMP2 is output as comparative result LO.If reference voltage Vref is lower than the second normal voltage Vlth, then export comparative result LO=1, if reference voltage Vref is greater than or equal to the second normal voltage Vlth, then export comparative result LO=0.
The first normal voltage Vhth, the second normal voltage Vlth are obtained through dividing potential drop by resistance R 1, R2, R3, R4.Divider resistance R1, R2, R3, R4 are connected between stable the voltage source V DD and ground, and the first normal voltage Vhth is the voltage between divider resistance R1, the R2, and the second normal voltage Vlth is the voltage between divider resistance R2, the R3.
The magnitude of voltage of the first normal voltage Vhth, the second normal voltage Vlth is that the figure place of the capacitance selection signal of the standard value of the reference voltage Vref that obtains when being standard value (not being offset) according to tunable capacitor Cv, reference resistance Rref and tunable capacitor Cv is set.Specifically, at tunable capacitor Cv, when reference resistance Rref is not offset, reference voltage Vref should be between the first normal voltage Vhth, the second normal voltage Vlth, if increase capacitance selection signal and tunable capacitor Cv is increased this moment, reference voltage Vref can be higher than the first normal voltage Vhth, tunable capacitor Cv is reduced, reference signal Vref can be lower than the second normal voltage Vlth, can determine voltage difference between the first normal voltage Vhth, the second normal voltage Vlth by the figure place of capacitance selection signal.Give one example, if at tunable capacitor Cv, when reference resistance Rref is not offset, the standard value of reference voltage Vref is 1V, in the present embodiment, and capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0] be 5, promptly can represent 32 state values (2 5), adjacent state value can represent to be offset 1/32, be about 3%, promptly the voltage difference between the first normal voltage Vhth, the second normal voltage Vlth be about reference voltage Vref standard value 3%, therefore can set the first normal voltage Vhth is 1.015V, and the second normal voltage Vlth is 0.985V.After having set the first normal voltage Vhth, the second normal voltage Vlth, the resistance value of divider resistance R1, R2, R3, R4 just can have been determined, determine the technology that the resistance value of divider resistance is well known to those skilled in the art according to voltage, promptly no longer launch explanation at this.
Voltage comparison unit 11 also provides bias voltage Vbias to described current generating unit 10.Because voltage source V DD is stable voltage source, therefore between divider resistance R3, R4, can obtain stable bias voltage Vbias, to offer current generating unit 10.Need to prove that the bias voltage Vbias of current generating unit 10 also can can't help voltage comparison unit 11 to be provided, and is provided by other circuit that can produce burning voltage, for example reference voltage source.
Control unit 12, comparative result according to described voltage comparison unit 11 outputs, output reduces the capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0 of the tunable capacitor Cv of described current generating unit 10 when described reference voltage Vref is higher than the first normal voltage Vhth], output increases the capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0 of the tunable capacitor Cv of described current generating unit 10 when described reference voltage Vref is lower than the second normal voltage Vlth].In the present embodiment, capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0] be 5, can represent 32 state values, capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0] 1 state value of every variation just can make the capacitance variation of the tunable capacitor Cv of current generating unit 10, thereby the magnitude of voltage of the reference voltage Vref of voltage comparison unit 11 is changed, therefore, by changing capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0] skew that can compensate for reference voltage Vref, be that adjustable capacitor C v and reference resistance Rref change the skew that takes place because of process corner, its compensation precision is 1/32, promptly is about 3% of standard value.The figure place of capacitance selection signal is not limited to 5 of present embodiment, the figure place of capacitance selection signal is many more, compensation precision is high more, correspondingly, the quantity of switch element shown in Figure 4, with the quantity of the electric capacity of switch element series connection should be identical with the figure place of capacitance selection signal.
Fig. 5 is the timing diagram of calibrating signal Calibration, clock signal clk 2 and the comparison signal Compare of control unit 12.As shown in Figure 5, when compensating circuit 1 is started working (for example, phase-locked loop circuit pins back output signal PLL lock detect in phase place), calibrating signal Calibration becomes 1 by 0, stand-by period Tw through 2 clock signal clks 2, comparison signal Compare becomes 1 by 0, start-up control unit 12, the frequency of clock signal clk 2 (tens KHz) wants slow than the frequency of clock signal clk 1, therefore when control unit 12 started, voltage comparison unit 11 can obtain stable reference voltage Vref.
Please in conjunction with reference to figure 5 and Fig. 6, Fig. 6 is the capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0 of control unit 12] state diagram that changes with the value of comparative result HO, the LO of voltage comparison unit 11 outputs.As shown in the figure, capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0] the initial condition value of highest order Capsel4 be 1, the initial condition value of all the other is 0, promptly the initial condition value of capacitance selection signal is made as 1/2 of its state value quantity that can represent; And capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0] state value when changing, the state value of the state value of Gao Yiwei prior to low one changes, for example, become 1 at comparison signal Compare by 0, during the 1st clock signal clk 2, capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0] can represent 32 state values, its initial condition value is made as 16, be 10000 with the binary number value representation, if comparative result HO, LO is 00 (being that reference voltage Vref is between the first normal voltage Vhth and the second normal voltage Vlth), capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0] state value remain unchanged; If comparative result HO, LO be 10 (being that reference voltage Vref is higher than the first normal voltage Vhth), capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0] state value reduce, become 01000; If comparative result HO, LO be 01 (being that reference voltage Vref is lower than the second normal voltage Vlth), capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0] state value increase, become 11000.Capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0] state value change, the tunable capacitor Cv of current generating unit 10 is changed, the reference voltage Vref of voltage comparison unit 11 also changes thereupon, when following 1 clock signal clk 2, control unit 12 can be according to the reference voltage Vref after changing and comparative result HO, LO and the capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0 of the first normal voltage Vhth, the second normal voltage Vlth] current state value, redefine capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0] state value.
Can see by Fig. 6, in the present embodiment, capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0] the initial condition value be set at 10000.Therefore, maximum times through 5 clock signal clks 2 just can obtain finally can compensating the capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0 of tunable capacitor Cv and reference resistance Rref skew].Certainly, capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0] the initial condition value also can be set at other value, and be to reduce capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0 at 10 o'clock] at comparative result HO, LO, at comparative result HO, LO is to increase capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0 at 01 o'clock] state value, but the time that all can need to surpass 5 clock signal clks 2 just obtain compensating the capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0 of tunable capacitor Cv and reference resistance Rref skew].That is to say, with capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0] the initial condition value to be set at 10000 be for convenience can find dbjective state quickly at first in calibration, promptly can in the shortest time, obtain finally can compensating the capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0 of tunable capacitor Cv and reference resistance Rref skew].
Behind 5 clock signal clks 2, calibrating signal Calibration, comparison signal Compare become 0 by 1, closing control unit 12 and pin capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0] state value.
Need to prove, in the present embodiment, two normal voltages have been set, i.e. first normal voltage, second normal voltage, and determine capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0 with the result that first normal voltage, second normal voltage compare respectively according to reference voltage Vref] state value, with this reference voltage Vref is adjusted in the scope of first normal voltage and second normal voltage.In fact, also can only set a normal voltage (being the standard value of the reference voltage Vref that tunable capacitor Cv, reference resistance Rref obtain when skew does not take place), and relatively determine capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0 according to reference voltage Vref and normal voltage] state value, with this reference voltage Vref is adjusted to and approaches or equal normal voltage.Therefore, need to adopt a comparator 11 of voltage comparison units, comparator output 1 when reference voltage Vref is higher than normal voltage is lower than comparator output 0 when equaling normal voltage in reference voltage Vref; Control unit 12 is exported the capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0 that reduces tunable capacitor Cv when reference voltage Vref is higher than normal voltage], be lower than the capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0 that equal normal voltage time output increases tunable capacitor Cv in reference voltage Vref].
In addition, after calibrating signal Calibration becomes 0 by 1, can close compensating circuit 1, to reach purpose of power saving.For example, the switch element of can between voltage source V DD and divider resistance R1, connecting, by calibrating signal Calibration control, when calibrating signal Calibration is 1, the switch element closure, compensating circuit 1 enters operating state; When calibrating signal Calibration is 0, switch element is opened, path between voltage source V DD and divider resistance is cut off, so promptly do not have electric current and flow through divider resistance R1, R2, R3, R4, and bias voltage Vbias is 0, therefore, the comparator of current generating unit, voltage comparison unit can be closed.
Please continue with reference to figure 7, it shows the basic structure of a kind of filter of using compensating circuit shown in Figure 2.Described filter is active low pass RC filter, comprises compensating circuit 1 and filter circuit 2.
Compensating circuit 1, produce and the directly proportional reference current of described tunable capacitor, the directly proportional reference voltage of the product of formation and reference resistance and described reference current, output reduces the capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0 of described tunable capacitor when described reference voltage is higher than first normal voltage], output strengthens the capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0 of described tunable capacitor when described reference voltage is lower than second normal voltage].Capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0] be used to regulate the electric capacity of filter circuit 2.Wherein, compensating circuit 1 and has been done detailed explanation in the above as described in Figure 2.
Filter circuit 2 as shown in Figure 8, tunable capacitor Cpv2, resistance R p2 are connected in parallel between the anode input VinP2 and negative terminal output VoutN2 of operational amplifier opAMP2.Tunable capacitor Cnv2, resistance R n2 are connected in parallel between the negative terminal input VinN2 and anode output VoutP2 of operational amplifier opAMP2.Tunable capacitor Cpv2, Cnv2 are by the capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0 of compensating circuit 1 output] to regulate, its circuit structure is identical with the circuit structure of the tunable capacitor Cv of compensating circuit 1.The 3dB cut-off frequency of filter circuit 2 is relevant with resistance R p2, Rn2 with tunable capacitor Cpv2, Cnv2, and promptly the bandwidth of filter circuit 2 is determined by tunable capacitor Cpv2, Cnv2 and resistance R p2, Rn2.
Compensating circuit 1 and filter circuit 2 are integrated on the same chip, that is to say, tunable capacitor Cpv2, the Cnv2 of the tunable capacitor Cv of compensating circuit 1, reference resistance Rref, filter circuit 2, resistance R p2, Rn2 can change the identical skew of generation with process corner.Because capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0] can the skew of reference voltage Vref relevant with reference resistance Rref with tunable capacitor Cv in the compensating circuit 1 be compensated, therefore, capacitance selection signal Capsel[4:0] also can the skew of cut-off frequency relevant with resistance R p2, Rn2 with tunable capacitor Cpv2, Cnv2 in the filter circuit 2 be compensated.
The structure of filter circuit is not to exceed with the circuit shown in scheming, so long as the directly proportional circuit of the product of bandwidth and resistance value and capacitance (R*C) can be used the skew that compensating circuit 1 comes compensating resistance, electric capacity.For example filter circuit also can be a circuit structure shown in Figure 1, resistance R p1 shown in Figure 1, Rn1 and the reference resistance Rref of compensating circuit 1 have identical process corner to be changed, and will capacitor C p1 shown in Figure 1, Rn1 replaces with the tunable capacitor that tunable capacitor Cv with compensating circuit has variation of same process angle and circuit structure and get final product.
Corresponding to above-mentioned compensating circuit, use the filter of this compensating circuit, the present invention also provides a kind of compensation method, comprises the steps:
Produce and the directly proportional reference current of tunable capacitor;
The directly proportional reference voltage of the product of generation and reference resistance and described reference current;
When described reference voltage was higher than normal voltage, output reduced the capacitance selection signal of tunable capacitor;
When described reference voltage was lower than normal voltage, output strengthened the capacitance selection signal of tunable capacitor.
Please continue with reference to figure 9, Fig. 9 is the particular flow sheet corresponding to the compensation method of compensating circuit shown in Figure 2.
Step S11 produces and the directly proportional reference current of tunable capacitor.Wherein, described tunable capacitor is regulated by capacitance selection signal.
Step S12, the directly proportional reference voltage of the product of generation and reference resistance and reference current.
Step S13 compares described reference voltage and first normal voltage, second normal voltage, judges whether reference voltage is higher than first normal voltage, if then carry out step S14, then carries out step S15 if not.

The capacitance selection signal of output can be used to regulate the electric capacity of filter, the skew that produces because of resistance, capacitance variations with the bandwidth of compensating filter.
In sum, the voltage that technique scheme generation and resistance, electric capacity are relevant is also judged its whether scope of offset criteria, at voltage because of resistance, when capacitance variations is offset, by changing the capacitance that capacitance selection signal changes electric capacity, with the skew of this bucking voltage.Because the skew of the voltage that capacitance selection signal is can compensation relevant with resistance, electric capacity, the bandwidth of filter is equally also relevant with resistance, electric capacity, therefore, described capacitance selection signal is removed the electric capacity of control break filter, skew that promptly can the compensating filter bandwidth.
In control unit, with the initial condition value of the highest order of capacitance selection signal is 1, the initial condition value of all the other is 0, and the state value of capacitance selection signal is when changing, the state value of the state value of Gao Yiwei prior to low one changes, and can obtain finally the capacitance selection signal that can compensating frequency be offset like this in the shortest time.Therefore, the compensating circuit of technique scheme also has short advantage of make-up time.
Compensating circuit also includes the switch element that is connected between voltage source and the resistance, output finally can compensating frequency the capacitance selection signal of skew, close the current generating unit and the voltage comparison unit of compensating circuit, therefore, technique scheme also has advantage of low power consumption.
