A kind of reference voltage circuit
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of reference voltage circuit, refer in particular to the reference voltage circuit in the display device possessing the array that multiple light-emitting component is formed.
Background technology
LED (Light Emitting Diode, light emitting diode) as a kind of emerging light source device, in recent years, its chip structure, packing forms, type of drive and application all there occurs earth-shaking change, Ge great manufacturer, company and research institution, in the ascendant to the research of LED, its research emphasis is placed on the aspects such as luminous intensity, glow frequency (colourity), luminance purity (frequency spectrum) and the luminescence efficiency improving LED light source more.The raising of These parameters (particularly the index of optical property aspect) or improvement, except having much relations with the structure, material (or component) etc. of luminescent device self, with the luminous energy providing source of LED---driving circuit (also known as type of drive) also has extremely close relationship.Usually, the type of drive of LED mainly contains constant voltage driving, constant current driving and pulsed drive (mainly referring to that PWM drives) three kinds.Among above-mentioned driving side, first two is that stable state drives, and the voltage at LED two ends or the electric current flowing through LED do not change in time; The third is that transient state drives, and the driving voltage of LED or electric current all can change in time and change, and thus, its characteristics of luminescence also can drive with stable state to be distinguished to some extent.The colourity of the light that LED sends can change along with the curent change by its luminescent device, but, in many application scenarios or purposes (as liquid crystal panel backlight, automobile instrument panel backlight etc.), all can not allow LED that the drift of any color occurs.Wherein PWM (Pulse Width Modulation, width modulation) Driving technique can by regulating driving pulse dutycycle (total amount of turn-on time) to control LED luminance under full electric current drives, realize the particular/special requirement that light modulation is not mixed colours, therefore have extremely wide application prospect.
Application number is the Chinese invention patent application of 201110174346X, and provide a kind of constant current driving method, its circuit structure diagram as shown in Figure 1.Whole constant-current driven chip can be divided into 4 parts: bandgap voltage reference, PLC technology current circuit, 8 identical inside contain constant current output and the protection circuit of automatic zero set (AZS) circuit.The follower that PLC technology current circuit is made up of operational amplifier A 1 and M1 pipe, two pipe compositions that outer meeting resistance RSET1, RSET2 and enable signal EN1, EN2 control.Follower, M2 and the switch S 1, S2 that 8 constant current outputs containing automatic zero set (AZS) circuit are made up of A2 and power tube M3 and S3 and two resistance R1 and R2 are formed.Different electric currents is produced by arranging different RSET1 with RSET2 values.Easily find out from Fig. 1, the electric current I LED flowing through LED is:
In the equation above, VA is the voltage of A point, and VOS is the offset voltage of operational amplifier A 2.VREF is internal reference voltage.Be not difficult to find out from formula (1), the offset voltage of the ratio of drive current ILED size and M2 and M1 mirroring ratios N, reference voltage V REF, R1 and R2, RSETX and operational amplifier is relevant.Therefore, ensure the precision of output current, the offset voltage of the stability of reference voltage, the matching of resistance and operational amplifier, these factors all need to carry out thickly considering in week.
In patented claim 201110174346X, have employed the precision that automatic zero set (AZS) technology (AZT) improves voltage and current.By sampling to low-frequency noise and imbalance, input or output end then at operational amplifier, they are deducted from the instantaneous value of output signal, realize the reduction to imbalance and 1/f noise.Not only because it is a kind of lack sampling process to broadband white noise, can cause the aliasing of white noise, can increase the white noise of low frequency end while reducing 1/f noise, therefore AZT is more suitable for the discrete signal circuit such as switching capacity.AZT comprises two stages: the processing stage of imbalance sample phase and input signal.In imbalance sample phase, amplifier and input signal disconnect.Lack of proper care measured and be stored in electric capacity.Input signal processing stage, amplifier amplification input signal also deducts the offset voltage stored previous stage from output signal.AZT amplifier ultimate principle figure as shown in Figure 2.It comprises basic amplifier Gm1, compensator-amplifier unit Gm2, second level amplifier A4 and feedback amplifier A3, electric capacity Ch, and two switch S 1, S2.Ro be Gm1 and Gm2 output impedance (1) imbalance sample phase, switch S 2 is connected with b point, and make the input end short circuit of Gm1 and disconnect with input signal, therefore Gm1 only has offset voltage VOS1 at input end.The offset current I1 that offset voltage produces is:
I1=Gm1Vos1(2)
Switch S 1 closes, and amplifier A3 fed-back output voltage is to the end of oppisite phase of Gm2.Gm2 output current I2 is:
I2=-Gm2(A3Vo-Vos2)(3)
Vo=Ro(I1+I2)A4(4)
Vos2 is the input offset voltage of Gm2, and Vo is output voltage.I2 is the offset current of current compensation basic amplifier Gm1, and it is contrary and proportional with output offset voltage direction.Formula (2) and formula (3) are substituted in formula (4), can bucking voltage VC be solved.Input signal processing stage, switch S 2 is connected with a point, and the input end of Gm1 is connected with input signal, and backfeed loop is disconnected (S1 shutoff), and at this moment VC store voltages is in Ch.Because cmos circuit breaker in middle metal-oxide-semiconductor realizes, input signal processing stage, channel charge injection effect when the remaining offset voltage analysis of AZT must consider switch transition.When switch S 1 turns off, channel charge part is injected into node VC, changes the voltage that Ch stores.Change in voltage is:
Vc=qinj/Ch(6)
The voltage that output voltage and remaining offset voltage VOSres are differential input signal input signal processing stage exports when being zero is respectively:
Wherein, Vi is input signal.The voltage that remaining offset voltage VOSres is differential input signal to be exported when being zero.From formula (8), Gm1 offset voltage is reduced to 1/ (Gm1RoA3A4), and the offset voltage of Gm2 amplifier is reduced to 1/ (Gm2RoA3A4).
But in technique scheme, suppose that reference voltage V REF is constant, this is difficult to accomplish in practice.Therefore the high precision design of VREF is urgently to be resolved hurrily.
The invention provides a kind of design proposal of reference voltage of simple possible, cost is low, and precision is high, is particularly suitable for being applied in the constant-current drive circuit of LED.

When constant current integrated circuit selects LM317 chip for constant current source, output current Io=(the VREF/R)+IADJ of LM317, in formula, VREF is reference voltage, for 1.25V, IADJ is the electric current flowed out from adjustment end, and usual IADJ≤50 μ A, can ignore.The constant current effect of visible LM317 is better.As can be seen from the LED current formula of output channel, output current precision depends primarily on the precision of internal reference voltage VREF, if this reference voltage of every IC can do very accurate, so just can guarantee that the difference between IC is very little.
When design, the present invention has carried out careful design to this reference voltage, and circuit framework adopts automatic balancing technology, can effectively reduce or eliminate the impact of offset voltage on precision, reach high stability and high-precision design object.
The design philosophy of foregoing circuit is: the positive and negative terminal of amplifier is carried out periodicity with a fixed frequency and switches, so, the offset voltage existed between positive and negative terminal will be periodically added to amplifier anode or negative terminal, thus positive offset voltage and negative offset voltage are added zero, thus realize eliminating offset voltage to the impact of precision.This structure in a chip design practical application is authenticated, and test effect is very good.In this, design proposal does not increase system cost simultaneously, also enhances the reliability of system, adds the elasticity of system simultaneously.
