[embodiment]
Rail-to-rail operational amplifier be a kind of can be in common-mode voltage range (being commonly referred to rail-to-rail voltage range) operational amplifier of operate as normal.Because supply voltage reduces rapidly along with reducing of technology characteristics size, the I/O scope of the operational amplifier of traditional structure also reduces immediately, thereby the signal to noise ratio of signal also correspondingly diminishes; In order to obtain enough signal to noise ratios, operational amplifier requires to handle rail-to-rail input/output voltage scope.Usually, traditional rail-to-rail operational amplifier basically all is the multi-stage operational amplifier that adopts amplifier input stage and CASCODE output stage to constitute.Amplifier input stage and CASCODE output stage can be handled rail-to-rail voltage range, and the CASCODE output stage has stronger load driving ability and efficient, and therefore this rail-to-rail operational amplifier can be as the output buffer stage of analog circuit.
In fact the amplifier input stage is exactly the input structure that adopts NMOS input stage and the parallel connection of PMOS input stage secondary to realize simultaneously.When supply voltage is reduced to 1.8V or even when lower from 3.3V, then the computing NMOS input stage and the PMOS input stage of amplifying in the input stage ended near input voltage is VDD/2 simultaneously, failure state occurs.
With reference to shown in Figure 3, it is the execution mode of the rail-to-rail operational amplifier of the present invention, and it comprises: amplifier input stage, buck stages and CASCODE output stage.Said amplifier input stage has increased the mirror image PMOS input stage of a said PMOS input stage of mirror image, realizes NMOS input stage, PMOS input stage and three grades of parallel connection inputs of mirror image PMOS input stage.The circuit of said buck stages is the N-WELL reduction voltage circuit that is used to control PMOS input pipe underlayer voltage, and said mirror image PMOS input stage is used for the electric current of the said PMOS input stage of mirror image, and this electric current is introduced said N-WELL reduction voltage circuit.
Metal-oxide-semiconductor M1 and metal-oxide-semiconductor M2 form the PMOS input pipe of PMOS input stage.Metal-oxide-semiconductor M4 and metal-oxide-semiconductor M5 are for forming the NMOS input pipe of NMOS input stage.Metal-oxide-semiconductor M20 and metal-oxide-semiconductor M21 be for forming the PMOS input pipe of mirror image PMOS input stage, metal-oxide-semiconductor M22 the current mirror in the mirror image PMOS input stage in the N-WELL reduction voltage circuit of buck stages.The circuit design of mirror image PMOS input stage can accurately reflect the operating state of PMOS input pipe in the PMOS input stage; When the grid common-mode voltage of PMOS input pipe in the PMOS input stage raises; PMOS input pipe electric current reduces and finally shutoff in the PMOS input stage, and the effect of mirror image PMOS input stage promptly is reflected to the running status of PMOS input stage in the buck stages.
With reference to shown in Figure 4, it is buck stages principle key diagram in the rail-to-rail operational amplifier of the present invention.
With reference to shown in Figure 3, the circuit of the buck stages in the rail-to-rail operational amplifier of the present invention is the N-WELL reduction voltage circuit, and wherein metal-oxide-semiconductor M25 does the diode connection, makes the voltage VDST of its VSD greater than the circuit tail current M3 of PMOS input stage.Thereby guarantee when the grid common-mode voltage of PMOS input pipe in the PMOS input stage becomes big, make source electrode and the design that underlayer voltage can be realized Fig. 4 of the PMOS input pipe of PMOS input stage.
By the threshold voltage formula
Can know that when VSB is correct time, the absolute value of the threshold voltage vt h of PMOS input pipe will diminish, increasing the ICMR upper limit of PMOS input stage circuit, and guarantee to satisfy V under the low pressure condition

The grid common-mode voltage of PMOS input pipe is prescribed a time limit above the going up of ICMR of PMOS input stage circuit in the PMOS input stage circuit; The electric current of PMOS input stage circuit will reduce and finally cause the PMOS input pipe to turn-off; What the source voltage of metal-oxide-semiconductor M1 and metal-oxide-semiconductor M2 will become in the PMOS input stage circuit is very big; PN junction meeting positively biased in the PMOS input stage produces big substrate leakage current.In the case, the input signal of the circuit of mirror image PMOS input stage and the circuit of PMOS input stage is identical, metal-oxide-semiconductor M22 the current mirror in the mirror image PMOS input stage in the N-WELL reduction voltage circuit.At this moment, the N-WELL reduction voltage circuit reflects the operating state of PMOS input pipe in the PMOS input stage accurately.Because of the electric current in the PMOS input stage reduces and finally shutoff; Electric current among the metal-oxide-semiconductor M22 also variation synchronously also is mirrored to metal-oxide-semiconductor M23 according to a certain percentage; Reduce to promote the voltage of PMOS input pipe substrate at last through the voltage at leakage two ends, metal-oxide-semiconductor M25 source, make PN junction instead suppress leakage current partially.The circuit of said mirror image PMOS input stage and N-WELL reduction voltage circuit synergy raising PMOS input pipe close the underlayer voltage of having no progeny, and then suppress substrate leakage current.
In sum; The rail-to-rail operational amplifier of the present invention obviously increases under the prerequisite of circuit complexity not having; Make rail-to-rail operational amplifier can be applied to significantly reduce the power consumption of circuit under 1.8V even the lower supply voltage condition, can satisfy the designing requirement of low-voltage and low-power dissipation; While also suppresses the substrate leakage current of PMOS input pipe cleverly.
Though the present invention discloses as above with preferred embodiment, the present invention is defined in this.Any those skilled in the art are not breaking away from the spirit and scope of the present invention, all can do various changes and modification, so protection scope of the present invention should be as the criterion with claim institute restricted portion.
