Over-sampling (Sigma-Delta) analog to digital converter of double pressure-controlled oscillator (VCO) loop that the present invention proposes; The voltage amplitude of analog signal is not to be converted into digital signal; But be converted into the oscillation frequency signal of VCO earlier; Quantizer is converted into digital signal corresponding to the oscillation frequency signal of VCO more then, is used in the quantizer based on VCO in rank Sigma-Delta loop continuous times three at last, can better suppress the nonlinear distortion of quantizing noise and VCO.Adopt two VCO quantizers to constitute two VCO loop structures simultaneously; Export the output signal subtraction of two VCO quantizers as final; Thereby eliminated the idol time (seeing equality (5)) in aanalogvoltage amplitude and the VCO frequency of oscillation relation; The realization even-order harmonic offsets, and has reduced the nonlinear distortion of VCO, improve transducer distorted signals noise ratio (SNDR).Simultaneously, three rank filters of employing let quantizing noise reduce as far as possible under the prerequisite that guarantees loop stability, have also further suppressed the nonlinear distortion of VCO simultaneously.
Below the work of two VCO cyclic system block diagrams that the present invention is proposed and each module as an introduction:
The present invention sees accompanying drawing 2, has adopted the non-return-to-zero current steer analog-to-digital conversion circuit (NRZDAC) of prior art.NRZ DAC is used to produce the input formation negative feedback that a corresponding current value of digital signal size with input arrives whole system, and different clocks periodic current size is linear with corresponding cycle supplied with digital signal size.Electric current is kept corresponding steady state value in a clock cycle, therefore be called non-return-to-zero DAC.
Figure 2 preclude the use of the prior art analog to digital conversion of zero current steering circuit (RZ? DAC).RZ DAC is used to produce one and forms negative feedback with the big or small corresponding current value of supplied with digital signal to the output of system's three rank filter modules, and different clocks periodic current size is linear with corresponding cycle supplied with digital signal size.Different with NRZ DAC is, RZ DAC exports corresponding current value in the positive half period of clock, and output current is zero in the negative half-cycle of clock, therefore is called the DAC that makes zero.
The three rank filters that adopt among the present invention; Realize the amplification of low frequency aberration signal; Quantizing noise and VCO nonlinear distortion in the ability rejects trap bandwidth, more the filter of high-order can play better inhibition effect to quantizing noise usually, but makes system unstable more easily.

The VCO quantizer controls voltage to the conversion of frequency.V CtrlBe the input signal of VCO quantizer, its size can be controlled the frequency of oscillation f of VCO quantizer VcoThereby, the input analog voltage amplitude is converted into frequency signal, the two satisfies following relation:
f vco = f 0 + K vco * V ctrl + a 2 * V ctrl 2 + a 3 * V ctrl 3 + . . . . . . - - - ( 1 )
F wherein 0Frequency of oscillation when being zero for control voltage, K VcoArrive the gain of frequency for the voltage of VCO quantizer; Higher order term is represented the non-linear partial of electric voltage frequency conversion; Can produce the high order harmonic component of input signal; Higher order term has produced the nonlinear distortion of VCO quantizer just, has limited the distorted signals noise ratio (SNDR) of common single voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) loop Sigma-Delta analog to digital converter, thereby reduces the number of significant digit (ENOB) of analog to digital converter.SNDR and ENOB satisfy following relation:
SNDR=6.02*ENOB+1.76 (2)
The VCO quantizer is realized the conversion of frequency signal to digital signal.The VCO quantizer is N level ring oscillator (Ring VCO) among the present invention, f VcoBe the frequency of oscillation of VCO quantizer, f ClkBe clock frequency, Out is the size of VCO quantizer output digital signal.
f Vco, f ClkSatisfy following relation with Out three:
Max ( f vco ) < f clk 2 - - - ( 3 )
Out = Ceil ( 2 N * f vco f clk ) - - - ( 4 )
Wherein maximum is got in Max () expression, Ceil () expression round numbers part.
Double pressure-controlled oscillator (VCO) loop is realized the even-order harmonic counteracting.In the accompanying drawing 2, the control end A of two VCO quantizers is opposite with B voltage, and the corresponding frequency of oscillation of result after two VCO quantizer outputs are subtracted each other can be obtained by (1):
f = f vco ( V vctrl ) - f vco ( - V vctrl ) = 2 K vco * V vctrl + 2 a 3 V vctrl 3 + . . . . . - - - ( 5 )
Can see from (5); An idol time cancellation of back control voltage is subtracted each other in output; That is to say even-order harmonic cancellation in the output; Thereby reduce the nonlinear distortion of VCO quantizer, double pressure-controlled oscillator (VCO) the loop Sigma-Delta analog to digital converter that the present invention proposes utilizes this relation to improve the distorted signals noise ratio (SNDR) of system just.

Can see from accompanying drawing 3; Comprise higher second harmonic and triple-frequency harmonics in the output spectrum of common single voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) loop Sigma-Delta; The second harmonic amplitude is about-90dB, and the triple-frequency harmonics amplitude is about-120dB, and the second harmonic amplitude is much larger than the triple-frequency harmonics amplitude.The signal noise ratio that calculates (SNR) is 83.7dB, and distorted signals noise ratio (SNDR) is 75.9dB, and the difference of signal noise ratio (SNR) and distorted signals noise ratio (SNDR) is very big, shows that high order harmonic component has limited the SNDR of system.
Can see that from accompanying drawing 4 second harmonic is cancelled in the output spectrum of double pressure-controlled oscillator (VCO) the loop Sigma-Delta that the present invention proposes, only has triple-frequency harmonics, its amplitude is about-100dB.The signal noise ratio that calculates (SNR) is 86.5dB, and distorted signals noise ratio (SNDR) is 85.8dB.The very for a short time high order harmonic component that shows of the difference of SNR and SNDR is very little to the SNDR influence of system.Simultaneously, contrast can see that because the analog-digital converter structure that the present invention proposes has been offset even-order harmonic, the more single VCO loop structure of distorted signals noise ratio (SNDR) has improved about 10dB, and number of significant digit (ENOB) improves 1.5.
In sum, two VCO loop analog-digital converter structures that the present invention proposes have effectively reduced the nonlinear distortion of VCO quantizer, have improved the distorted signals noise ratio (SNDR) of system, and the performance of system obtains bigger improvement.
