Specific implementation mode
Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, detailed description of the present invention technical solution:
In the present invention, it is contemplated that signal input node parasitic capacitance is big, can seriously affect the gain bandwidth of trans-impedance amplifier Product, can not be under the premise of meeting transmission speed, and weak current signal is amplified to the suitable voltage signal of output by a step.Therefore, As shown in Figure 1, the present invention will be divided into prime across resistance realizes total transimpedance gain across resistance and rear class trans-impedance amplifier two-stage, front and back two Grade is connected between resistance with a voltage-current converter circuit.Prime trans-impedance amplifier be low input impedance, low gain across resistance Amplifier realizes that a part of gain of circuit, the bulky capacitor of isolation input node inhibit the first order under sufficiently wide bandwidth Noise;Since prime is voltage signal across the signal of resistance output, in order to which rear class can continue normally to amplify across resistance, voltage is added in centre The voltage signal that prime exports is converted into current signal by current converter circuit, meanwhile, voltage-current converter circuit can provide one Fixed current gain;Prime is still smaller across the voltage signal of resistance output, and rear class realizes that difficulty is big with voltage amplifier, because hereafter Grade selection trans-impedance amplifier.Material is thus formed the circuit structures that circuit structure shown in Fig. 1 and the present invention are protected.Multistage is put Big device noise coefficient calculates formula
Wherein NFxFor the noise coefficient of xth grade amplifier, GxFor the gain of xth grade amplifier.It can be with by above formula It obtains, the overall noise factor of casacade multi-amplifier depends primarily on the noise coefficient of the first order, and subsequent amplifier is to total Noise coefficient influences smaller.For the first order, noise coefficient should be small as possible, and gain is big as possible.In the present invention, due to input Node parasitic capacitance is big, therefore to obtain enough bandwidth, gain cannot be too big, can only reduce prime trans-impedance amplifier as possible Noise coefficient.Common source configuration circuit has the characteristics that noise is small, therefore the present invention selects common source configuration to be put across resistance as the first order Big device.Since protected is a kind of architecture and method to the present invention, and it is not limited to specific trans-impedance amplifier physical circuit.For Convenient for illustrating and understanding present disclosure, herein only with prime trans-impedance amplifier shown in Fig. 2 for an example, the present invention is illustrated Benefit.Certain present invention can also be realized using other specific trans-impedance amplifier structures.Prime shown in Fig. 2 is amplified across resistance The transimpedance gain of device is RF1, bandwidth is:
CpFor input terminal parasitic capacitance, gmn1It is NMOS tube M1 across resistance.
The equivalent noise to input terminal is
It is obtained by bandwidth formula and input noise formula, by increasing gmn1And R1Bandwidth can be increased simultaneously and attenuating is made an uproar Sound, in conjunction with transimpedance gain RF1, prime trans-impedance amplifier can be made to meet bandwidth demand, while possessing sufficiently low noise Coefficient.
As shown in figure 3, in voltage-current converter circuit, NMOS tube MN4 and MN5 provides direct current biasing, PMOS tube for circuit MP1 and MP2 is current mirror, transformed electric current is output to rear class, and provide certain current gain.Voltage-current converter circuit Mutual conductance is gm=VIN1/R3
From the point of view of comprehensive prime trans-impedance amplifier and voltage current adapter, it is accomplished that the function of Current amplifier, electric current increase Benefit is gm=mRF1/R3, m is the ratio between the breadth length ratio of the breadth length ratio and MP1 of PMOS tube MP2.
Rear class trans-impedance amplifier is traditional trans-impedance amplifier, but since sensor parasitic capacitance is isolated, rear class Trans-impedance amplifier input node parasitic capacitance is the parasitic capacitance of front stage circuits efferent duct, therefore bandwidth is
Cdb.MP2For the capacitance between PMOS tube MP2 drain electrodes and substrate, Cdb.MN5Between NMOS tube MN5 drain electrodes and substrate Capacitance, Cin2For rear class trans-impedance amplifier input capacitance.Because of Cdb.MP2、Cdb.MN5And Cin2Very little, therefore rear class trans-impedance amplifier It can be in the case where meeting bandwidth, by RF2It is arranged very big.
By above-mentioned analysis it is found that the total transimpedance gain of the carried current detection circuit of the present invention is
And the big parasitic capacitance of current detection circuit input node is isolated by prime low gain trans-impedance amplifier, rear class is across resistance Amplifier input capacitance will become very little, therefore for the bandwidth of integrated circuit and ratio of gains tradition trans-impedance amplifier, can The higher of setting, meets the needs of high-gain, broadband.
