Detailed Description
The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail by the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a transmitter circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the transmitter includes: OTA circuit 001, amplifier 002, preamplifier 003 and control logic 004.
The positive input end and the negative input end of the OTA circuit 001 are connected with the control logic unit 004, the output of the OTA circuit is connected with the negative input end of the control logic unit 004, the positive input end of the amplifier 002 and one end of the capacitor C1, and the other end of the capacitor C1 is grounded; the positive input end of the amplifier 002 is connected with the output end of the OTA circuit 001, and one end of the capacitor C1, and the negative input end thereof is connected with the output of the amplifier itself; the preamplifier 003 positive input is connected to ground and the negative input is connected to the output of the OTA circuit 001, the output of which is connected to one end of the control logic 004. The first end of the control logic unit 004 is connected with the output end of the preamplifier 003, the second end is connected with the input end of the OTA circuit 001, the third end is connected with the output end of the OTA circuit 001, and the fourth end is connected with the reference voltage VREF. The OTA circuit 001 operates with the amplifier and comparator states through the control logic 004 so that its output waveform can meet the high and low levels, and the timing requirements for the rising and falling edges in the USB-PD communication protocol.
The OTA circuit 001 adopts an amplifier (as shown in fig. 2) with a folded cascode structure, and the amplifier 002 is connected to a unity gain negative feedback form, so that the signal at the positive input terminal of the amplifier 002 can be tracked, and the amplifier 002 operational amplifier can ensure a small quiescent current and a large driving capability.
The amplifier 002 is a class AB amplifier, the positive input terminal of which is connected to the output of the OTA circuit 001, the negative input terminal of which is connected to its own output, and the whole class AB amplifier is connected to a unity gain negative feedback form.
The preamplifier 003 is in a fully differential output form (as shown in fig. 3), and includes a current source I1, a first PMOS transistor P1, a second PMOS transistor P2, a resistor R1, and a resistor R2; one end of the current source I1 is connected with a power supply VDD, and the other end is connected with the sources of P1 and P2; the drain terminals of the P1 and the P2 are respectively connected with one ends of the resistor R1 and the resistor R2, and the grid terminals of the P1 and the P2 are respectively connected with two input terminals; the other ends of the resistor R1 and the resistor R2 are connected with a reference ground; the output end of the S-shaped switch is connected with one ends of S1 and S2. The preamplifier 003 is a fully differential output to ensure that the OTA circuit 001 has sufficient voltage differential to the input when outputting a "0".
The control logic unit 004 includes: controlling switches S1, S2, S3, S4, wherein one end of S1 is connected to the positive output terminal of the preamplifier 003, the other end of S1 is connected to the positive input terminal of the OTA circuit 001, and one end of S4; one end of the S2 is connected with the negative output of the preamplifier 003, and the other end of the S2 is connected with the negative input end of the OTA circuit 001; one end of the S3 is connected with the negative input end of the OTA circuit 001, and the other end of the S3 is connected with the output end of the OTA circuit 001; one end of the S4 is connected with the reference voltage VREF, and the other end of the S4 is connected with the positive input end of the OTA circuit 001 and the other end of the S1; when the control logic unit 004 transmits the BMC code system signals "1" and "0", the OTA circuit 001 is used as an operational amplifier or a comparator by turning on different control switches.
Fig. 4 is a signal control schematic of the transmitter of fig. 1. As shown in fig. 4, in conjunction with signal control, the transmitter operates as follows:
when the BMC code is '1', the control signals of the switches S3 and S4 are '1', the switches S3 and S4 are turned on, the control signals of the switches S1 and S2 are '0', and the switches S1 and S2 are turned off. At this time, the positive input terminal of the OTA circuit 001 is the reference voltage (VREF is the intermediate value between VHMAX and VHMIN required in the protocol), and the negative input terminal is connected with the output terminal, which is equivalent to that the OTA circuit 001 is connected to form a unity gain negative feedback amplifier. Because the output of the OTA circuit 001 in the previous state is "0", the OTA circuit 001 is in the large signal state, as shown in fig. 2, at this time, the tail current I1 flows through the P3 completely, according to the mirror image principle, the P4/P5 tube current increases I1, which is equivalent to the current with the size of I1 to charge the capacitor C1, when the capacitor is charged to be closer to VREF (reference voltage), the OTA circuit 001 enters the amplifier state, and in the small signal state, the proper phase margin condition is satisfied, the output of the OTA circuit 001 does not overshoot, and then the VREF voltage is finally reached. By properly sizing the I1 current, the C1 capacitance, and the input pair transistors P2 and P3, the rise time, and ultimately the voltage, can be made to meet the protocol requirements.
When the BMC code is "0", the control signals of the switches S3 and S4 are "0", the switches S3 and S4 are off, the control signals of the switches S1 and S2 are "1", the switches S1 and S2 are on, and the preamplifier 003 is connected to the control loop. As shown in fig. 4, when VINP input is ground and VINN is OTA circuit 001 output, and the former state is VREF (reference voltage), the gain of the preamplifier 003 can be set properly so that the output positive terminal of the preamplifier 003 is higher voltage and the output negative terminal is lower voltage, which are respectively applied to the negative input terminal and the positive input terminal of the OTA circuit 001 through the control switches S2 and S1. For the OTA circuit 001, such a large voltage difference input causes the OTA circuit 001 to be in a large signal operation state, where the I1 current flows completely through the P2, which causes the current in the P4/P5 mirror tube to disappear, and the current corresponding to I1 draws current from the C1. In the whole process that the BMC code is '0', the OTA circuit 001 is always in the working state of the comparator due to the action of the preamplifier 003, the input of the positive end of the OTA circuit 001 is always larger than the input of the negative end, finally, the output of the OTA circuit 001 meets the requirement of outputting (0-75) mv voltage in a protocol, the falling edge time is also determined by the size sum of I1 and C1, and the falling edge time can meet the requirement through reasonable configuration.
To this end, the core of the entire transmitter is described, and the communication between the consumer and the adapter is carried out by a CABLE, which is required by the industry according to the protocol, and whose CABLE MODEL (CABLE mode) is shown in fig. 1, whose capacitance is still large, for which purpose a BUFFER stage is added after the OTA circuit 001, and the amplifier 002 is connected in the form of a unity gain negative feedback, which follows the output of the OTA circuit 001, so that the signal meeting the protocol requirements is transmitted.
The above-mentioned embodiments are intended to illustrate the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention in further detail, and it should be understood that the above-mentioned embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements and the like made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
