Description

Digital/analogue converter of current model
The invention belongs to integrated circuit (IC) design.
The D/A switch technology is along with the development of digital technology and digital computer occurs.Because digital technology and development of computer, particularly microprocessor is advanced by leaps and bounds after 1971, has promoted the Analog signals'digital treatment technology greatly, and therefore the D/A as important interface unit is also developed rapidly.Along with the system integration and single chip integrated needs, high integrated, high-speed and high-precision D/A has crucial meaning.The most important at present and the widest D/A of utilization is that the D/A of R-2R trapezoid resistance network (is seen T.Kamoto, Y.Akazawa and Moshinagawa, " An 8-bit 2-ns monolithic DAC ", IEEE J.Solid-State Circuits, Vol.SC-23, No, PP.142-146,1988.) its circuit is as shown in Figure 1.Wherein, a reference source voltage Vref is fixedlyed connected with resistor network, current switch S 1, S 2, S 3..., Sn is shown in Fig. 1 (b).Determine ground connection or be connected to the input of arithmetic unit by the digital control circuit output signal.If amplifier is that desirable then input point P point is a virtual earth, therefore no matter switch is in arbitrary position of two positions, and the electric current that flows into ladder network is all identical.Each branch current is respectively I/2 like this, I/4, and I/8 ..., I/2, I=Vref/R wherein, the input total current of transferring operational amplifier A can be expressed as:
Is=Ia 1/2+Ia 2/4+Ia 3/8+…+1a N/2 (1)
A in the formula 1, a 2, a 3... a N" 1 " or " 0 " two states is arranged, so the output voltage of amplifier A is:
Vo=-IsR=-IR(a 1/2+a 2/2 2+a 3/2 3+…+a N/2 N) (2)
This R-2R ladder network type D/A has been avoided in weighted resistance network the very big problem that causes of difference between the maximum resistance and minimum resistance, but still has the precision and the conversion speed of this D/A of some factor affecting:
1. because in integrated circuit, be difficult to make very wide temperature range with interior precision resistance, and the conducting resistance of the MOS transistor of using as switching tube must be enough little, otherwise must consider the conducting resistance of MOS switching tube, especially the conducting resistance of MOS switching tube is different with the conventional, electric-resistance temperature coefficient, and certain temperature-compensation circuit must be provided.
2.R-2R ladder network does not have load capacity, promptly can not directly meet load resistance R LAnd must adopt operational amplifier as cushioning so that the virtual earth load to be provided, increased the complexity of circuit so first, more seriously the conversion speed of D/A is subjected to the influence of amplifier speed, and the switching rate (Slewrate) of general operational amplifier is 1~10 V/ μ s magnitude.
For overcoming the weak point of above-mentioned D/A, the present invention proposes a kind of total current type D/A new departure.Current mode circuit has simple summation, weighting and relatively waits function with current system work, and this brings many convenience for the design of D/A.
The digital/analogue converter of current model that the present invention proposes as shown in Figure 2.Form by constant-current source, current switch, this constant-current source adopts the constant current source array of N weighting, the switch arrays that this current switch adopts N the switch of often opening to constitute, the constant-current source of this N weighting links together respectively with after N switch connected, and constitutes the analog quantity output by digital quantity control.These constant-current sources can constitute the constant-current source to all corresponding digital amount weightings with the PMOS transistor of different breadth length ratios (W/L), also available other device and circuit are realized, make circuit have certain load capacity like this, can directly connect load resistance, and export with voltage, finish the current/voltage conversion, thereby overcome and introduce circuit complexity and the speed that amplifier caused in the common D/A, can overcome the big shortcoming of resistor network discreteness with constant-current source simultaneously, and be easy to temperature-compensating, thereby precision is improved; Constitute switch arrays by N the switch of often opening, its closure is subjected to a respectively 1, a 2... and a NControl, these switch arrays can be used nmos pass transistor; PMOS transistor and cmos transmission gate constitute, and also available other device and circuit are realized, D/A switch is finished with interior at the one-level gate delay, have improved conversion speed.
The operation principle of this circuit is as follows:
The essence of D/A is the corresponding relation of determining between digital quantity and the analog quantity, and its corresponding relation is in binary system:
Io=Iref(a 1/2 1+a 2/2 2+…+a N/2 N
Wherein Io is an analog quantity, and Iref is a reference quantity, a 1, a 2A NBe digital quantity, in other words in binary system analog quantity to equal with 2 be the digital quantity sum of weight.
As supplied with digital signal a i=1, by a iThe respective switch S of control iClosure, one's own department or unit are exported corresponding electric current I Ref/ 2 i; Otherwise if a i=0, then by a iThe respective switch S of control iDisconnect, one's own department or unit output current is 0, like this all I Ref/ 2 i(i=1,2 ... N) constant-current source is through corresponding switch S iDirectly suing for peace at output in the back, has overcome the needed bidirectional current switch of common D/A switch and " virtual earth " working point, and circuit complexity that causes and power problems.
