Embodiment
For making object of the present invention, technical scheme and advantage clearly, clearly, developing simultaneously referring to accompanying drawing, the present invention is described in more detail for embodiment.
Difference conversion circuit for burst mode trans-impedance amplifier provided by the invention comprises trans-impedance amplifier, high pass filter, AC coupled resistance, direct-flow biasing circuit, electric capacity of voltage regulation and Schmidt trigger.Described Schmidt trigger is difference Schmidt trigger, and the input stage of Schmidt trigger both can be CMOS also can be bipolar transistor (BJT).An input of Schmidt trigger is connected electric capacity of voltage regulation with between ground wire GND, and for high-frequency signal, this node is equivalent to ground connection.Another input of Schmidt trigger is connected with the output of high pass filter.The resistance connected between Schmidt trigger two inputs is AC coupled resistance.The output signal of high pass filter is directly added between two inputs of difference Schmidt trigger.Described direct-flow biasing circuit is connected on AC coupled resistance, for providing direct-current working volts for Schmidt trigger two inputs.Direct-flow biasing circuit can have multiple implementation method, and prerequisite makes the direct-current working volts of Schmidt trigger two inputs close or equal.For difference Schmidt trigger, input high-frequency signal is provided by high pass filter, and direct-current working volts are provided by bias circuit, and therefore its working method is coupled do not have what substantive difference with fully differential.Circuit provided by the invention can be implemented with typical integrated circuit engineering, also can implement with discrete component.
Described difference Schmidt trigger is the high-speed comparator with lagging characteristics.The output of Schmidt trigger has two stable states: one is export high level state; Another is output low level state.Its state is maintained by the current potential of input signal, its trigger process, the input mode namely causing trigger to transform between two output states also has two kinds of changes: forward triggers (current potential forward increases progressively rising edge) and negative sense and triggers (negative sense successively decrease trailing edge).The input potential value (i.e. trigger threshold voltage) of two kinds of trigger process generations is different, is called forward threshold voltage and negative sense threshold voltage.
Input signal rises to from low level the input voltage the process of high level, circuit state being changed and is called forward threshold voltage; Input signal drops to from high level the input voltage low level process, circuit state being changed and is called negative sense threshold voltage.Forward threshold voltage is generally greater than negative sense threshold voltage, and the difference of forward threshold voltage and negative sense threshold voltage is called that voltage is sluggish.
Its initial condition exported also is depended in the response of Schmidt trigger to the pulse of forward unit width, the pulse of negative sense unit width and middle bit level three kinds of elements.If initial condition is high level state, when running into the pulse of forward unit width, output state is just constant, namely keeps its original high level state; Export when running into the pulse of negative sense unit width and just overturn, become low level state.Otherwise, if initial condition is low level state, when running into the pulse of negative sense unit width, exporting with regard to low level state that is constant or that keep it original, exporting when running into the pulse of forward unit width and just overturn, become high level state.When input is in meta level, Schmidt trigger just keeps its existing state always.
