The invention relates to an assembly line successive approximation analog-to-digital converter which can eliminate offset voltage of an allowance amplifier. A capacitor is added to a signal channel between the input end of a comparator and the input end of the allowance amplifier and is used for storing the offset voltage of the allowance amplifier without changing the working principle of a single-level circuit. By means of the assembly line successive approximation analog-to-digital converter, errors which are caused by the offset voltage of the allowance amplifier to the whole circuit can be reduced.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to IC design field is and in particular to a kind of streamline gradually-appoximant analog-digital converter.
Background technology
Currently, in order to adapt to computer, communication and multimedia technology develop rapidly and high-technology field numeral
Change process is constantly accelerated, and ADC has very big change on technique, properity, towards low-power consumption, at a high speed, high score
The direction of resolution is developed.Streamline gradually-appoximant analog-digital converter had both simultaneously conventional pipeline analog-digital converter and tradition by

Document " Chun C.Lee, A SAR-Assisted Two-Stage Pipeline ADC, IEEE Journal Of
A kind of flowing water of single ended input is proposed in Solid-State Circuits, 2011, VOL.46, NO.4, pp.859~869 "
Line gradually-appoximant analog-digital converter.This analog-digital converter one is divided into two-stage, and the resolution of the first order is 6bit, the second level point
Resolution is 7bit.Referring to the drawings 1, give the schematic diagram of first order circuit.Its operation principle is:Work process is divided into three ranks
Section, sample phase, conversion stage and amplification stage.
In sample phase, switch S and switch SP closure, switch H disconnects, in capacitance network the top crown of all electric capacity connect defeated
Enter signal Vin, the bottom crown ground connection of all electric capacity.On electric capacity, the electric charge of storage is:
Q=26C*Vin
In the conversion stage, switch S, switch SP and switch H disconnect, and in capacitance network, the top crown of all electric capacity is according to numeral
The value of code di selects to be connected to reference voltage Vref or ground.If di is high level, corresponding electric capacity 2 (6-i) C is connected to reference voltage
On Vref, if di is low level, corresponding electric capacity 2 (6-i) C is connected on the ground.The bottom crown of all electric capacity connects comparator input terminal.
Now, on electric capacity, the electric charge of storage is:
Q'=(d125C+d224C+......+d6C)*(Vref-Vcom)+(26C-d125C-d224C-......-d6C)*(0-
Vcom)
Vcom is the voltage of comparator input terminal, according to law of conservation of charge:
Q=Q'
Can draw:
Vcom=-Vin+(d12-1+d22-2+......+d62-6)*Vref
After six clock cycle, digital code d1 to d6 all quantifies to complete, and circuit enters amplification stage.
In amplification stage, switch S and switch SP and disconnect, switch H closure, the company of the top crown of all electric capacity in capacitance network
Connect that method is the same with the conversion stage, the bottom crown of all electric capacity is connected to the negative-phase input of surplus amplifier.According to empty short spy
Property, the voltage of amplifier negative-phase input is equal to the voltage of normal phase input end, and now, on electric capacity, the electric charge of storage is:
Q "=(d125C+d224C+......+d6C)*(Vref-0)+(26C-d125C-d224C-......-d6C)*(0-0)+
4C*(Vres-0)
According to law of conservation of charge:
Q=Q "
Can draw:
Vres=16* [Vin-(d12-1+d22-2+......+d62-6)*Vref]
Above-mentioned formula derivation does not have the offset voltage considering surplus amplifier it is assumed that surplus amplifier positive inputs
There is an offset voltage Vos at end, and the derivation in sample phase and conversion stage is just the same with above-mentioned derivation, but,
In amplification stage, according to empty short characteristic, the voltage of amplifier negative-phase input is equal to the voltage Vos of normal phase input end, then
Now, on electric capacity, the electric charge of storage is:
Q " '=(d125C+d224C+......+d6C)*(Vref-Vos)+(26C-d125C-d224C-......-d6C)*(0-
Vos)+4C*(Vres-Vos)
According to law of conservation of charge:
Q=Q " '
Can draw:
Vres=16* [Vin-(d12-1+d22-2+......+d62-6)*Vref]+17Vos
It can be seen that the single-level circuit that above-mentioned document proposes does not have the offset voltage eliminating surplus amplifier, this imbalance
Voltage produces error in residual signal, affects the performance of whole analog-digital converter.
