Embodiment
For embodiments of the invention will be solved technical problem, technical scheme and advantage clearly, be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and the specific embodiments.
Rail-to-rail differential amplifier of the present invention, comprise Differential input circuit and difference extremely single-ended change-over circuit, Differential input circuit receives anode input signal VINP and negative terminal input signal VINN, and output difference sub-signal, differential signal is converted to single-ended signal by difference to single-ended change-over circuit, output driving circuit amplifies further again, realizes rail-to-rail output.
Fig. 1 is the circuit that Differential input circuit and difference form to single-ended change-over circuit.Differential input circuit in the present invention and difference are described to single-ended change-over circuit below in conjunction with Fig. 1.
As shown in Figure 1, Differential input circuit is made up of the first PMOS P1, the second PMOS P2, the 3rd PMOS P3 and the first NMOS tube N1, the second NMOS tube N2, the 3rd NMOS tube N3.P1 and P2 forms P type substrate Differential Input pair, and P3 is as its load deflection; N1 and N2 forms N-type substrate Differential Input pair, and N3 is as its load deflection.The substrate of P1 with N1 is connected anode input signal VINP, and the substrate of P2 with N2 is connected negative terminal input signal VINN.The grounded-grid of P1, P2, source connect the drain electrode of P3, and the source electrode of P3 connects power supply, and grid meets the first bias voltage VB1.The drain electrode that grid connects power supply, source meets N3 of N1, N2, the source ground of N3, grid meet the second bias voltage VB2.Input offset voltage VB1 and VB2 provides operating current for differential pair.Difference output is made in the drain electrode of N1, N2 and P1, P2.
P1, P2 and N1, N2 formed fully differential to gamut voltage can be inputted, be because: when common mode input is lower, P1, P2 conducting is also in saturation condition, and N1, N2 cut-off; When common mode input is higher, P1, P2 end, and N1, N2 conducting be in saturation condition; When common mode input is at zone line, P1, P2 and N1, N2 can conductings.Make operational amplifier can work under any input voltage like this, achieve rail-to-rail input range.
The P type substrate Differential Input pair of P1 and P2 composition, their grid is ground connection.When P1 and P2 conducting, be in saturation condition, under its grid, form conducting channel, not by threshold voltage V
tHPrestriction.When input signal VINP and VINN added by P1 and P2 substrate terminal changes, the depletion layer thickness between this substrate terminal and this conducting channel changes, thus changes the thickness of channel inversion layer, and then controls the size of channel current.
In Fig. 1, difference to single-ended change-over circuit comprises: the 4th PMOS P4, the 5th PMOS P5, the 6th PMOS P6, the 7th PMOS P7 and the 4th NMOS tube N4, the 5th NMOS tube N5, the 6th NMOS tube N6, the 7th NMOS tube N7.
The source of P4, P5 pipe and substrate connect power supply, grid meets the 3rd bias voltage VB3, and the drain electrode of P4 pipe connects P6 pipe source electrode and the drain electrode of N1 pipe, and the drain electrode of P5 pipe connects P7 pipe source electrode and the drain electrode of N2 pipe.The substrate of P6, P7 meets the 7th bias voltage VB7, grid meets the 4th bias voltage VB4.The drain electrode of P6 pipe connects the drain electrode of N6 pipe, and the drain electrode of P7 pipe connects the drain electrode of N7 pipe.The substrate of N6, N7 meets the 8th bias voltage VB8, grid meets the 5th bias voltage VB5.N6 pipe source electrode connects the drain electrode of N4 pipe and the drain electrode of P1 pipe, and N7 pipe source electrode connects the drain electrode of N5 pipe and the drain electrode of P2 pipe.The substrate of N4, N5 receives N6 pipe drain terminal, grid connects the 6th bias voltage VB6, source ground.The drain electrode of N7 pipe exports single-ended signal VA.
Difference to single-ended change-over circuit is cascodes, its objective is the gain improving amplifier.But although common cascodes can improve circuit gain, be difficult to work at lower voltages, therefore use the bulk driven current mirror be made up of N4 and N5, amplifier both-end is exported and is converted to Single-end output.Bulk driven current mirror is the pressure drop in order to reduce on N4, N5, if with common current mirror, then and the pressure drop V on it
dSequal V
gS, larger than threshold voltage, at low supply voltages, cascode amplifier can be caused not work.The grid of N4, N5 is biased voltage VB6, makes N4, N5 be in saturation condition, and input is added on substrate, the pressure drop V on such N4, N5
bSjust do not need larger than threshold voltage.VB3-VB5 provides gate bias voltage, ensures that all metal-oxide-semiconductors are operated in saturation region, VB7 and VB8 provides Substrate bias voltage for P6, P7, N6, N7, and object improves the output resistance of circuit, thus improve circuit gain.
In sum, rail-to-rail differential amplifier of the present invention, can work at lower voltages, realizes rail-to-rail Differential Input and rail-to-rail output.
Above-described embodiment only illustrates technical conceive of the present invention and feature, its objective is and is person skilled in the art can be understood content of the present invention and implement according to this, can not limit the scope of the invention with this.All equivalences done according to Spirit Essence of the present invention change or modify, and all should be encompassed within protection category of the present invention.
