Embodiment
Have influence on the frequency and the waveform of clock signal for fear of the bad quartz crystal of oscillator using character, so propose oscillator and drive circuit and oscillation method, to reduce the yield value that amplifies oscillator signal, improve the bad influence that quartz crystal caused of quality.In order to make content of the present invention more clear, below the example that can implement according to this really as the present invention especially exemplified by embodiment.
Fig. 2 A is the system block diagrams of the oscillator of one embodiment of the invention.Please refer to Fig. 2 A, oscillator 200 comprises quartz crystal X1, drive circuit 210, capacitor C 1, C2 and resistance R 1.Drive circuit 210 quartz crystal X1 in parallel.Capacitor C 1 is coupled between the end and earthed voltage of quartz crystal X1.Capacitor C 2 is coupled between the other end and earthed voltage of quartz crystal X1.And resistance R 1 parallel connection buffer unit 211.Drive circuit 210 comprises buffer cell 211 and control unit 212.Buffer cell 211 quartz crystal X1 in parallel are in order to amplify the oscillator signal S of quartz crystal X1 output OSC, with the output of the signal after amplifying with as clock signal S CLKAnd capacitor C 2 can be filtered oscillator signal S OSCNoise, and capacitor C 1 and resistance R 1 can utilize its electrical characteristic to revise clock signal S CLKWaveform so that clock signal S CLKWaveform more level off to string ripple (Sine).Simultaneously, resistance R 1 can determine the DC voltage level of this control signal.Then, clock signal S CLKCan be converted to oscillator signal S again via quartz crystal X1 OSC, and the oscillator signal S after the conversion OSCCan be cushioned unit 211 again amplifies with as clock signal S CLK, allow oscillator 200 produce vibration by this.
Control unit 212 couples buffer cell 211, and produces control signal S COLTo buffer cell 211.Control unit 212 is by detecting clock signal S CLKOr oscillator signal S OSCWhether reach the oscillating condition of quartz crystal X1, decision control signal S COLVoltage level.211 of buffer cells are according to control signal S COLVoltage level control the yield value of its amplification.This oscillating condition for example is oscillator signal S OSCAmplitude greater than preset value, or clock signal S CLKAmplitude greater than preset value, and this preset value can be set at and is enough to order about control unit 211 switch-over control signal S COLAmplitude during voltage level, and this preset value can be different via those skilled in the art's design.
For instance, rigidly connect when receiving power supply oscillator signal S when oscillator 200 OSCAmplitude be about zero, and because buffer cell 211 can anti-phase amplification oscillator signal S OSCAmplitude, make oscillator 200 beginning starting of oscillations, and oscillator signal S OSCAmplitude also can increase gradually.And, use bigger gain at starting of oscillation stage buffer cell 211 in order to make the oscillator 200 can fast start-up, be 10 at yield values of this hypothesis buffer cell 211 maximums, and this maximum yield value can be required and changed according to the user.At oscillator signal S OSCAmplitude when not reaching preset value, represent the still unstabilized vibration of oscillator 200.This moment, oscillator 200 still needed bigger gain to quicken quartz crystal X1 starting of oscillation, and then control unit 212 outputs have the control signal S of logic high voltage level (for example being system voltage VCC) COLReceive control signal S with logic high voltage level when buffer cell 211 COLThe time, represent oscillator 200 still to need bigger gain, be 10 so buffer cell 211 can be adjusted its yield value.
After starting of oscillation a period of time, oscillator signal S OSCAmplitude can be greater than preset value, just representing the vibration of quartz crystal X1, oneself is stable.200 on oscillator needs the gain of low power to keep vibration at this moment, and then control unit 212 meeting outputs have the control signal S of logic low voltage level (for example being earthed voltage) COLReceive control signal S with logic low voltage level when buffer cell 211 COLThe time, represent oscillator 200 not need bigger gain, so buffer cell 211 can be turned down its yield value (for example yield value is 1), keep vibration for oscillator 200.By this, oscillator 200 can avoid excessively amplifying the noise of quartz crystal different frequency range that X1 produces behind vibrational stabilization, to avoid clock signal S CLKBe written into above-mentioned noise.
In addition, be noted that though the yield value that above-mentioned execution mode is a hypothesis buffer cell 211 when the firm starting of oscillation of oscillator 200 is 10, and after oscillator 200 stable oscillation stationary vibrations, the yield value of buffer cell 211 is 1, but above-mentioned example only is a kind of execution mode.Any those skilled in the art can spirit design buffer cell 211 according to the present invention yield value and the yield value of buffer cell 211 after oscillator 200 stable oscillation stationary vibrations when the firm starting of oscillation of oscillator 200.In addition, though above-mentioned execution mode is to suppose to receive the control signal S with logic high voltage level when buffer cell 211 COLThe time, represent oscillator 200 still to need bigger gain, but above-mentioned example only is a kind of execution mode.Any those skilled in the art can be according to spirit design control signal S of the present invention COLSignificance signal.
Can be at this again for an embodiment, so that those skilled in the art more can understand the execution mode of the foregoing description.Fig. 2 B is the pierce circuit figure of Fig. 2 A embodiment.Please refer to Fig. 2 A and Fig. 2 B, in the present embodiment, buffer cell 211 comprises the first driving element 211a and the second driving element 211b, at this driving element is that example is with explanation with the NAND gate, but those skilled in the art, can also one or door (input all connects not gate) or other logical circuits that is equivalent to NAND gate wait and replace.Explain orally for convenience at this, the gain value settings of the second NAND gate 211b is 1, and the yield value of the first NAND gate 211a can be greater than the yield value of the second NAND gate 211b, gain value settings at this second NAND gate 211b is 10, and the demand when wherein the yield value of NAND gate 211a and 211b can be complied with design is changed.Control unit 212 comprises the first latch module 212a and detection module 212d.And detection module 212d comprises the first trigger 212b, the second trigger 212c, the first transistor M1, transistor seconds M2 and resistance R 2.Wherein, the first latch module 212a is latched as example with explanation with the D type, the first transistor M1 and transistor seconds M2 for example are respectively PMOS and nmos pass transistor, and the first trigger 212b and the second trigger 212c for example are this schmitt trigger (Schmitt trigger).
The first trigger 212b has first end and second end, and its first end couples quartz crystal X1, and its second end couples the trigger end CK that latchs 212a.The first end coupling system voltage VCC of resistance R 2, its second end couples the source terminal of the first transistor M1.The drain electrode end of the first transistor M1 couples first end of the second trigger 212c, and its gate terminal couples second end of the first trigger 212b.The drain electrode end of transistor seconds couples first end of the second trigger 212c, and its source terminal couples earthed voltage, and gate terminal couples second end of the first trigger 212a.
Latch 212a and have input D, reversed-phase output Q, trigger end CK and replacement end RS, its input D coupling system voltage VCC, its trigger end CK couple second end of the first trigger 212b to receive triggering signal S TRI, the end RS that resets couples second end of the second trigger 212c to receive reset signal S RSThe first NAND gate 211a has first end, second end and output, and its first end couples first and latchs the reversed-phase output Q of 212a to receive control signal S COL, its second end and output coupled in parallel quartz crystal X1.The second NAND gate 211b has first end, second end and output, its first end coupling system voltage VCC, its second end and output coupled in parallel quartz crystal X1.
Fig. 2 C is system voltage VCC, the triggering signal S of Fig. 2 B TRI, reset signal S RS, control signal S COL, oscillator signal S OSCAnd clock signal S CLKOscillogram.Please refer to Fig. 2 B and Fig. 2 C, when oscillator 200 begins to raise at system voltage VCC, the voltage level that its inner member equally can corresponding system voltage VCC at that time and produce voltage, trigger 212b, 212c then can preset the output logic low voltage level.System voltage VCC rise to stable time, represent the element in the oscillator to begin normal operation.At this moment, because of default output logic low voltage level (that is the reset signal S of trigger 212c RS), make that latching 212a is Reset Status, that is latch the output Q meeting output logic low voltage level of 212a that the reversed-phase output Q that latchs 212a can output logic high-voltage level (that is control signal S COL).
In buffer cell 211, first end of the NAND gate 211a of this moment can receive has logic high voltage level control signal S COL, make NAND gate 211a understand the oscillator signal S that its second termination of anti-phase amplification is received OSCBecause of the first end coupling system voltage VCC (treating as the receive logic high-voltage level) of NAND gate 211b, so the oscillator signal S that its second termination of the anti-phase amplification of NAND gate 211b meeting is received OSC NAND gate 211a and 211b in the buffer cell 211 all can anti-phase amplification oscillator signal S at this moment OSC, the yield value that buffer cell 211 is amplified can be the summation (that is yield value is 11) of NAND gate 211a and NAND gate 211b yield value.By amplifying oscillator signal S OSCTo quicken the starting of oscillation of quartz crystal X1.
Then look down again, though the yield value that buffer cell 211 amplifies is 11, because oscillator signal S at the beginning OSCAmplitude almost nil, so oscillator signal S at the beginning OSCAnd clock signal S CLKAmplitude less.After amplifying for more than 211 time via many resonance of quartz crystal X1 and buffer cell, amplitude can be exaggerated gradually.At oscillator signal S OSCWhen the voltage level that the amplitude of signal is amplified to its crest and trough is enough to order about trigger 212b and changes the voltage level of its output, oscillator signal S OSCCan make trigger 212b produce waveform is the narrow square wave shape or the triggering signal S of pulse type TRI, wherein this moment oscillator signal S OSCAmplitude be enough to order about trigger 212b and change its output triggering signal S TRIVoltage level the time, make simultaneously trigger 212c switch its output reset signal S indirectly RSVoltage level, the clock signal S of expression this moment CLKOr oscillator signal S OSCReach the oscillating condition of quartz crystal X1.
See also the triggering signal S of Fig. 2 B and Fig. 2 C again TRIAnd reset signal S RS, at triggering signal S TRILevel in logic high voltage level H 1The time, because of transistor M1 is the logic low voltage level conducting, and transistor M2 is the logic high voltage level conducting, so transistor M2 conducting this moment makes earthed voltage be sent to trigger 212c.Because of the default output logic low voltage level of trigger 212c, thus before receiving earthed voltage reset signal S RSVoltage level be logic low voltage level.When receiving earthed voltage, order about trigger 212c and can switch reset signal S RSVoltage level be logic high voltage level, the reset signal S among its waveform such as Fig. 2 C RSShown in, in addition, in Fig. 2 C, reset signal S RSBecoming the generation of the time delay of logic high voltage level by logic low voltage level, is because transistor M2 can charge when transistor M1 conducting, in triggering signal S TRIAfter switching its voltage level, transistor M1 can present not conducting and transistor M1 can conducting to discharge, the voltage level of transistor M2 and M1 link is enough to order about trigger 212c and switches it and export reset signal S to be reduced to through discharge by the time RSVoltage level the time (for example being earthed voltage), make the voltage level of control signal SCOL switch to logic low voltage level just now.
Then, again referring to triggering signal S TRI, the logic low voltage level L after above-mentioned logic high voltage level 1At this moment, transistor M1 for meeting because the logic low voltage level conducting, make system voltage VCC to be sent to trigger 212c, but, allow the voltage level that is sent to trigger 212c be not enough to order about trigger 212c switching reset signal S because resistance R 2 has produced pressure drop via resistance R 2 RSVoltage level.At triggering signal S TRILogic high voltage level allow reset signal S RSVoltage level switch to logic high voltage level after, triggering signal S TRILogic high voltage level just can't change reset signal S again RSVoltage level, make reset signal S RSVoltage level can be held in logic high voltage level.
Please see the triggering signal S of Fig. 2 B and Fig. 2 C again TRIAnd reset signal S RS, triggering signal S TRIImpulse waveform can be sent to always and latch 212a, latch 212a with triggering the system voltage VCC that its input D receives can be sent to its output Q.And at reset signal S RSVoltage level switch to before the logic high voltage level because reset signal S RSBe in logic low voltage level, allow and latch 212a and be in Reset Status, make that the output Q that latchs 212a can the output logic low voltage level, its reversed-phase output Q can the output logic high-voltage level.At reset signal S RSVoltage level when switching to logic high voltage level, if triggering signal S TRI212a is latched in triggering, then latch 212a and the system voltage VCC that its input D receives can be able to be sent to output Q, make the output Q output system voltage VCC (can be considered logic high voltage level) that latchs 212a, and latch reversed-phase output Q meeting output logic low voltage level (that is the control signal S of 212a COL).
And the control signal S with logic low voltage level COLWhen being sent to first end of NAND gate 211a, can make the output of NAND gate 211a can present floating (floating), that is NAND gate 211a and clock signal S CLKPresent disconnection, make that NAND gate 211a can't anti-phase again amplification oscillator signal S OSCSo that this moment, buffer cell only remained NAND gate 211 in running, and the yield value of buffer cell can become 1.By this, can avoid because of the excessive amplification of signal or because of the bad noise that produces of quartz crystal quality, to avoid clock signal S CLKMake and influence its frequency and waveform because of being written into above-mentioned noise.
In some other embodiment, the buffer cell 211 of oscillator 200 also can only utilize NAND gate 211a to come anti-phase amplification oscillator signal S when starting of oscillation OSC, utilize NAND gate 211b to come anti-phase amplification oscillator signal S and behind vibrational stabilization, just switch to OSCCertainly, in these additional embodiments, can decide the yield value of control buffer cell 211 equally according to whether stablizing of vibration.
In addition, because before system voltage VCC is unstable, the running of its circuit relatively also can be unstable, if the bad words of circuit design, can make that oscillator exerts an adverse impact, so can add the electric power detecting unit in an embodiment, after system voltage VCC is stable, just come into operation with the control buffer cell.Fig. 3 A is the system block diagrams of the oscillator of another embodiment of the present invention.Please refer to Fig. 2 A and Fig. 3 A, the difference of its maximum is the electric power detecting unit 313 in the oscillator 300, and buffer cell 311 and control unit 312 is similar with buffer cell 211 and control unit 212 function modes in the oscillator 200, so then repeat no more at this in this function mode similar to oscillator 200.
Electric power detecting unit 313 couples buffer cell 311, with output detection signal S DTTo buffer cell 311, and whether stablize according to system voltage VCC and to decide detection signal S DTVoltage level, use control buffer cell 311 whether amplify oscillator signal S OSC, wherein can whether reach preset value and judge whether system voltage VCC is stable according to system voltage VCC.For instance, when system voltage VCC did not stablize, electric power detecting unit 313 can transmit the detection signal S with logic low voltage level DTTo buffer cell 311.This moment, buffer cell 311 received the detection signal S with logic low voltage level DTAfter, then do not amplify oscillator signal S OSCOtherwise when oneself stablized as system voltage VCC, electric power detecting unit 313 can transmit the detection signal S with logic high voltage level DTTo buffer cell 311.This moment, buffer cell 311 received the detection signal S of logic high voltage level DTAfter, then just can amplify oscillator signal S OSCBy this, can avoid oscillator running when system voltage VCC is unstable, to quicken the speed of oscillator 300 starting of oscillations.
