Detailed Description
FIG. 1 is a flow chart of an embodiment of a method for auto-configuration of an operational amplifier according to the present invention. In the present embodiment, the operational amplifier is configured in an electronic system or circuit, such as a filter, an analog-to-digital converter circuit, a chip, or a handheld electronic device. In step S11, a controller or a control circuit in the electronic system first estimates an equivalent internal resistance of the electronic system. The electronic system includes an operational amplifier, a bandgap circuit and a current mirror circuit. The electronic system is coupled to an external resistor, and the resistance value of the external resistor is known. After the electronic system is started, the bandgap voltage output by the bandgap circuit is stable and is not easy to drift with voltage, temperature or process parameter (process drift), so that the bandgap voltage can be used to estimate the internal resistance of the electronic system.
Next, in step S12, when the internal resistance of the electronic system is determined, the operating frequency of the electronic system is estimated. In one embodiment, the operating frequency of the electronic system is not actually measured, but rather the equivalent capacitance of the capacitor bank is found out from the operating frequency of the electronic system corresponding to the operating frequency. Then, in steps S13 and S15, when the operating frequency of the electronic system is known, the control parameter of the operational amplifier is known through a look-up table circuit according to the operating frequency and the internal resistance of the electronic system. In one embodiment, after the operating frequency of the electronic system is determined, a capacitance value of a capacitor bank (capacitor bank) in the electronic system is estimated, and a control parameter of the operational amplifier is obtained through a look-up table circuit according to the resistance value and the capacitance value.
FIG. 2 is a diagram of an electronic system with an operational amplifier with a self-tuning mechanism according to the present invention. The electronic system includes a resistance calibration circuit 21, a frequency estimation circuit 22, a lookup table circuit 23 and an operational amplifier 24.
When the electronic system is turned on, reset or receives a control signal to adjust the control parameter of the operational amplifier 24, the resistance correction circuit 21 estimates an internal resistance value of the electronic system through a resistor bank (resistor bank) in the electronic system. Then, the frequency estimation circuit 22 measures the operating frequency of the electronic system. In one embodiment, after the operating frequency of the electronic system is known, a capacitance value corresponding to a capacitor bank (capacitor bank) in the electronic system is further estimated. Specifically, when the resistance and the capacitance are measured, a first control signal and a second control signal for estimating the resistance and the capacitance can also be obtained. In one embodiment, the first control signal and the second control signal are digital signals, which are respectively represented by "N: 0" and "M: 0", wherein N, M is a positive integer, which respectively represents the number of resistors in the resistor group and the number of capacitors in the capacitor group.
The lookup table circuit 23 performs a lookup table according to the capacitance and the resistance or the first control signal and the second control signal to obtain the control parameter of the operational amplifier 24. The dc voltage gain, gain bandwidth product and slew rate of the operational amplifier 24 can be adjusted by these parameters. In addition, the operation current of the operational amplifier can be optimized through the self-adjusting mechanism.
FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram of an electronic system with an operational amplifier having a self-tuning mechanism according to another embodiment of the present invention. From another perspective, the electronic system 30 of FIG. 3 includes an operational amplifier, a bandgap circuit 31 and a resistance correction circuit 32. The bandgap circuit 31 is not easily disturbed by temperature and other variables, and therefore is suitable for providing a stable bandgap voltage. External resistance R1Has a known resistance value, and an external resistor R1The smaller the error of (2) is, the better, the error of 1% or 5% is recommended. In the present embodiment, the internal resistance of the electronic system is obtained by adjusting the resistance of the resistor group 32.
The current flowing through the external resistor R can be copied by the current mirror circuit1Current of (I)1To generate a current I flowing through the resistor group 322. The resistor bank 32 includes a plurality of switching devices, such as T301-T30N, and a plurality of resistors, such as R301~R30NThe switch device is controlled by the control signal "N: 0" to determine the equivalent resistance R of the resistor set 322. Using the Kirchhoff Circuit law (Kirchhoff Circuit laus), it can be expressed as follows:
Vbg=I1x R1=I2x R2
in the present embodiment, the equivalent resistance value R of the resistor group 322Is initially set to a minimum value, at which point VcWill be less than the energy gap voltage Vbg. The comparator will convert the voltage VcAnd energy gap voltage VbgThe comparison result is transmitted to the D-type flip-flop. The counter 33 will gradually increase the control signal "" N:0 "" by one bit according to the D-type flip-flop until the voltage Vc is larger than the bandgap voltage VbgIt is stopped. For an example, assume that there are 5 resistors in the resistor group 32, i.e. N equals to 5, and the binary proportional relationship of the resistance values of each resistor is the same. When the resistance value estimation is started, the control signal is "00001". If the voltage Vc is less than the energy gap voltage V at this timebgThe counter 33 increases the control signal to "00010" and determines whether the voltage Vc is greater than the bandgap voltage V according to the output of the D-type flip-flopbg. Suppose that when the control signal is "01111", the voltage Vc is larger than the bandgap voltage VbgThen, the equivalent resistance value R of the resistor group 322It can be known. In another embodiment, assuming that the control signal is "01111", the voltage Vc is greater than the bandgap voltage VbgThen the last determined control signal is the previous control signal "01110".
Similarly, the equivalent resistance value R of the resistor group 32 can also be set2Preset to the maximum value and then gradually decrease the equivalent resistance value R by the counter 332Until the voltage Vc is less than VbgIt is stopped. Or in another embodiment, the equivalent resistance value R of the resistor group 322Preset to an intermediate value according to the voltages Vc and VbgBy gradually decreasing or increasing the equivalent resistance value R2. In the foregoing manner, the equivalent resistance value of the last resistor group 32 is the internal resistance value of the electronic system.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a method of resistance calibration according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 3 and 4, in the present embodiment, the predetermined condition is that the electronic device or the system is executed only when the electronic device is turned on or reset, but in other embodiments, the resistance correction can be performed according to a correction request signal when the electronic device is operating. In step S41, an equivalent resistance value of the resistor group is determined. Next, in step S42, the bandgap voltage V is determinedbgWhether greater than a voltage Vc. If gap voltage VbgIf the resistance value is larger than Vc, the process returns to step S41 to adjust the equivalent resistance value of the resistor group. If gap voltage VbgAnd if the resistance is smaller than Vc, the resistance correction is finished.
When the internal resistance of the electronic system is determined, the RC charging and discharging method can be used to estimate the operation clock, the operation clock or the capacitance of the electronic system according to the following formula.
Vref=Vdd×(1-e-Tclk/RC)
In which V isref: reference voltage
Vdd: operating voltage
Tclk: clock period
R: resistance value
C: capacitance value
Please refer to fig. 5. FIG. 5 is a circuit diagram of an electronic system with an operational amplifier having a self-tuning mechanism according to another embodiment of the present invention. From fig. 5, it can be seen that the reference voltage VrefCan be divided by a resistor R51And R52To decide. For the operation of the resistor group 52, please refer to the description of fig. 3. Since the resistance value of the resistor bank 52 has already been determined, it is next done to re-determine the capacitance value of the capacitor bank 53. The capacitor bank 53 includes a plurality of switching devices and a plurality of capacitors, and the switching devices are controlled by the control signal "M: 0" to determine the equivalent capacitance of the capacitor bank 53. The comparator outputs a voltage Vc and a reference voltage VrefThe charging time estimation unit 51 controls the capacitance of the capacitor bank 53 to determine whether the operating frequency of the electronic system is correctly estimated. In an embodiment of the invention, the operating frequency of the electronic system is not directly estimated, but the capacitance of the capacitor bank 53 corresponding to the operating frequency of the electronic system is estimated by fixing the clock width of the electronic system.
Fig. 7 is a waveform diagram illustrating the operation of the circuit of fig. 5. Referring to fig. 5 and 7, a clock width is first generated as a charging time by using a clock signal CLK known in the electronic system. In this embodiment, the clock width is 5 CLK cycles. In fig. 7, the charging voltages V1, V2, and V3 respectively represent the charging variation of the voltage Vc in fig. 5 under different conditions. Situation 71 indicates that the capacitance value of capacitor group 53 is too small. It can be seen from the figure that the charging voltage V1 is already greater than the reference voltage V before the end of the charging timerefThe output Cal _ out of the comparator is also pulled up to the high logic level. Therefore, in the case 71, the charging time estimation unit 51 adjusts the capacitance of the capacitor bank 53 by the control signal "M: 0".
Condition 73 represents a case where the capacitance value of capacitor bank 53 is too large. It can be seen from the figure that the charging voltage V3 is not yet greater than the reference voltage V after the end of the charging timerefThe output Cal _ out of the comparator is pulled up to the high logic level after the charging time. Therefore, in the case 73, the charging time estimation unit 51 decreases the capacitance of the capacitor bank 53 by the control signal "M: 0".
Condition 72 indicates that the capacitance of capacitor bank 53 correctly corresponds to the operating frequency of the electronic system. It can be seen from the figure that at the end of the charging time, the charging voltage V2 is exactly the same as the reference voltage V2refAnd the output Cal _ out of the comparator is pulled up to the high logic level at the same time as the charging time. Therefore, the charging time estimation unit 51 can determine whether the capacitance of the capacitor 53 has been adjusted to the capacitance of the capacitor 53 corresponding to the operating frequency of the electronic system by detecting the time point when the output Cal _ out of the comparator is pulled up to the high logic level and comparing the time point with the end point of the charging time.
Referring back to FIG. 5, when the capacitance of the capacitor 53 and the resistance of the resistor 52 are confirmed, the control signals "N: 0" and "M: 0" are transmitted to a lookup circuit, and the lookup circuit performs a lookup according to the received control signals "N: 0" and "M: 0" to obtain the control parameters of the operational amplifier. The operational amplifier adjusts the operational amplifier according to the control parameter, so that the power of the operational amplifier is optimized.

Please refer to the circuit diagram of fig. 5 together with the frequency estimation method of fig. 6A to 6C. When the frequency estimation method is performed, a clock width is first generated by using the operation clock in the electronic system as the charging time. In step S601, the capacitance of a capacitor bank is first trimmed. In this step, the capacitance of the capacitor bank may be set to a predetermined value, such as the maximum capacitance or the minimum capacitance.
In step S602, the charging time estimation unit 51 determines whether the time point when the output Cal _ out is pulled up to the high logic level is less than the end point of the charging time, as shown in the condition 71 in fig. 7. If so, the process returns to step S601 to perform fine adjustment on the capacitance value of the capacitor bank 53. If not, step S603 is performed. In step S603, the charging time estimation unit 51 determines whether the time difference between the time point when the output Cal _ out is pulled up to the high logic level and the end point of the charging interval is greater than the length of one operation clock cycle. If so, go back to step S601 to fine-tune the capacitance value of the capacitor bank 53 again to reduce the capacitance value. If not, this indicates that the capacitance value of capacitor bank 53 at this time correctly corresponds to the operating frequency. The charging time estimation unit 51 will transmit the control signal of the capacitor set to a look-up table circuit or a control circuit for subsequent operations.
In the present embodiment, the control method of the capacitor bank 53 is similar to the control method of the resistor bank 32 in fig. 3, and thus, reference may be made to the resistance adjustment method of the resistor bank 32 in fig. 3 for the manner of adjusting the capacitance value of the capacitor bank 53.
FIG. 6B is a flowchart illustrating a frequency estimation method according to another embodiment of the present invention. When the frequency estimation method is performed, a clock width is first generated by using the operation clock in the electronic system as the charging time. In step S611, the capacitance of a capacitor bank is first trimmed. In this step, the capacitance of the capacitor bank may be set to a predetermined value, such as the maximum capacitance or the minimum capacitance.
In step S612, the charging time estimation unit 51 determines whether the time point when the output Cal _ out is pulled up to the high logic level is greater than the end point of the charging time, as shown in the condition 73 in fig. 7. If so, the process returns to step S611 to perform fine adjustment on the capacitance value of the capacitor bank 53. If not, step S613 is performed. In step S613, the charging time estimation unit 51 determines whether the time difference between the time point when the output Cal _ out is pulled up to the high logic level and the end point of the charging time is less than the length of one operation clock cycle. If not, the process returns to step S611 to perform fine adjustment on the capacitance value of the capacitor bank 53 again to increase the capacitance value. If so, this indicates that the capacitance value of capacitor bank 53 at this time correctly corresponds to the operating frequency. The charging time estimation unit 51 will transmit the control signal of the capacitor set to a look-up table circuit or a control circuit for subsequent operations.
FIG. 6C is a flowchart illustrating a frequency estimation method according to another embodiment of the present invention. When the frequency estimation method is performed, a clock width is first generated by using the operation clock in the electronic system as the charging time. In step S621, the capacitance of the capacitor bank is first set to a predetermined value, such as the maximum capacitance or the minimum capacitance. In step S622, it is determined whether the time point when the output Cal _ out of the comparator is pulled up to the high logic level is greater than the end point of the charging time, as shown in the condition 73 in fig. 7. If so, step S626 is performed to perform fine tuning on the capacitance value of the capacitor bank 53 to reduce the capacitance value of the capacitor bank. If not, step S623 is performed to fine tune the capacitance value of the capacitor bank 53 to increase the capacitance value of the capacitor bank.
In step S624, the charging time estimation unit 51 determines whether the time point when the output Cal _ out is pulled up to the high logic level is less than the end point of the charging time, as shown in the condition 71 in fig. 7. If so, the process returns to step S623 to fine-tune the capacitance of the capacitor bank 53. If not, step S625 is performed. In step S625, the charging time estimation unit 51 determines whether the time difference between the time point when the output Cal _ out is pulled up to the high logic level and the end point of the charging time is greater than one operation clock cycle length. If so, the process returns to step S623 to perform fine adjustment on the capacitance value of the capacitor bank 53 again to reduce the capacitance value. If not, this indicates that the capacitance value of capacitor bank 53 at this time correctly corresponds to the operating frequency. The charging time estimation unit 51 will transmit the control signal of the capacitor set to a look-up table circuit or a control circuit for subsequent operations.
In step S627, the charging time estimation unit 51 determines whether the time point when the output Cal _ out is pulled up to the high logic level is greater than the end point of the charging time, as shown in the condition 73 in fig. 7. If so, go back to step S626 to fine-tune the capacitance value of the capacitor bank 53. If not, step S628 is performed.
