Specifically, the electric current Id that cancellation module 11 exports can be used for offsetting 15 background of photodiode in the present embodiment Immediate component Ipd in photoelectric current.In one example, which may include sampling capacitance Ch and sampling electronic switch M0.Wherein, the one end for sampling the input terminal and sampling capacitance Ch of electronic switch M0 links together, as the cancellation module 11 First end;Sample second end of the output end of electronic switch M0 as the cancellation module 11;Sample the control terminal of electronic switch M0 It links together with the other end of sampling capacitance Ch, the third end as the cancellation module 11.It is noted that being in Fig. 1 Illustrated for sampling electronic switch M0 and being PMOS tube, but be not limited thereto, in practical applications, be can also be used NMOS tube or other electron tubes.
The main function of reverse phase amplification module 12 is voltage (the i.e. electricity of the second end of reverse phase amplification module 12 to input Pressure) it negates, and it is supplied to sampling electronic switch M0 using negated voltage as bias voltage, to trigger sampling electronic switch DC component Ipd equal-sized electric current Id of the M0 into the output of photodiode 15 and 15 background photo current of photodiode, To offset DC component Ipd.In practical applications, reverse phase amplification module 12 may include the control of reverse phase amplifying unit U1 and first Switch S1;Wherein, first end of the one end of the first control switch S1 as the reverse phase amplification module 12;First control switch S1's The other end connects the output end of reverse phase amplifying unit U1, the input terminal of reverse phase amplifying unit U1 as reverse phase amplification module 12 the Two ends.Inverting amplifier can be selected in the reverse phase amplifying unit U1 or broad band amplifier is realized, but considers that broad band amplifier will not be Circuit introduces new pole, is more advantageous to holding by cancellation module 11, reverse phase amplification module 12, current integration module 14 and photosensitive The sampling that diode 15 forms keeps the stability of loop, and therefore, the preferred broad band amplifier of the present embodiment amplifies single as reverse phase First U1.It is noted that when selecting broad band amplifier as reverse phase amplifying unit U1, to guarantee adding for broad band amplifier Enter, can make entirely to sample holding loop composition close loop negative feedback, the bandwidth of broad band amplifier can be made to be far longer than entire sampling and protected The gain bandwidth product on support ring road.The bandwidth of the preferred broad band amplifier of the present embodiment is at least the gain bandwidth product for sampling and keeping loop 2 times.

The effect of reseting module 13 is to reset integrating capacitor Cf, keeps the current potential of two pole plates of integrating capacitor Cf equal.This reality It applies in example, reseting module 13 may include error amplifier U2 and the second control switch S2;Wherein, the positive letter of error amplifier U2 Number input terminal can be used as the first input end of reseting module 13;The non-inverting signal input thereof of error amplifier U2 can be used as reset mould Second input terminal of block 13;The output end of error amplifier U2 connects one end of the second control switch S2, the second control switch S2 Output end of the other end as reseting module 13.It is noted that the electricity of the forward signal input terminal of error amplifier U2 It presses equal with the voltage of non-inverting signal input thereof, that is, the of the voltage of the first input end of reseting module 13 and reseting module 13 The voltage of two input terminals is equal, is all reference voltage Vcm.
In the present embodiment, the reset loop of reseting module 13 and the composition of current integration module 14 at work, it is poor to constitute one The unit gain amplifying unit for dividing input, Single-end output, so that the voltage of error amplifier U2 output end and two input terminals are (i.e. Forward signal input terminal, non-inverting signal input thereof) voltage it is equal, i.e. the current potential of two pole plates of integrating capacitor Cf is equal (all etc. In reference voltage Vcm), to achieve the purpose that reset integrating capacitor Cf.This reset mode avoids existing skill By the connection switch between the both ends of integrating capacitor Cf in art, and realization is switched on-off using this, integrating capacitor Cf is carried out The process of reset, to reduce switch, bring is non-linear and noise problem, so that the linearity of integral is improved, charge Injection problem is eased.
In addition, the second end of cancellation module 11 can it is noted that the present embodiment may also include third control switch S3 The first end of current integration module 14 and the output end of reseting module 13 are separately connected by third control switch S3.In electric current Sampling phase resets in phase and current integration phase, and the second end and electric current of cancellation module 11 is connected in third control switch S3 The first end of integration module 14 and the output end of reseting module 13 exist and are equivalent to a conducting wire.And in analog-to-digital conversion phase In, when ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter, analog-digital converter) is sampled, third control switch can be disconnected S3, so that current integration module 14 is inputted without any signal, to improve the accuracy rate of ADC sampling.
Each phase that sensor of adjusting the distance receives analog front circuit is introduced below:
When entering current sample phase (as shown in Figure 2), it can be closed the first control switch S1, and disconnect the second control and open S2 is closed, at this point, the cancellation module 11, reverse phase amplification module 12, current integration module 14 and photodiode 15 in circuit are constituted Sampling keeps loop.After the completion of the loop is established, the voltage at the both ends trsanscondutance amplifier U3 is not changing, at this point, not having electric current stream Cross the parasitic capacitance Cp of integrating capacitor Cf and photodiode 15.In order to offset the direct current in 15 background photo current of photodiode Component Ipd, reverse phase amplification module 12 negate the trsanscondutance amplifier U3 voltage exported, and using negated voltage as biased electrical Pressure, be applied to sampling electronic switch M0 control terminal, triggering sampling electronic switch M0 export electric current Id, and electric current Id with it is photosensitive DC component Ipd in 15 background photo current of diode is equal.Sampling capacitance Ch, which is equivalent to, at this time has sampled in background photo current DC component Ipd, and be converted into itself voltage.It is noted that due to electric current Id and DC component Ipd phase Deng, cancel out each other, therefore, in next other phases, electric current Id and DC component Ipd all will not input current integrate mould In block 14.
It is noted that the control terminal in sampling electronic switch M0 connects reverse phase amplification module 12, which amplifies mould Block 12 can provide the voltage (voltage can change since 0) of wider range to sample the control terminal of electronic switch M0, in this way, in electricity Sampling phase is flowed, the voltage for sampling the control terminal of electronic switch M0 can change in wider range.Due to sampling electronic switch The voltage of the control terminal of M0 can change since 0, therefore, if desired increase the output electric current Id of sampling electronic switch M0, this Shen Please embodiment can be achieved the goal by applying smaller voltage in the control terminal of sampling electronic switch M0, and in the prior art Can only be by the sampling electronic switch M0 of selection larger size (breadth length ratio is big), the mutual conductance for increasing sampling electronic switch M0 reaches mesh 's.Since the mutual conductance of sampling electronic switch M0 is bigger, brought noise is bigger, accordingly, with respect to the prior art, this implementation Smaller size of sampling electronic switch M0 can be selected in example, advantageously reduces the noise that sampling keeps loop.
Then, the first control switch S1 can be disconnected, and is closed the second control switch S2, enters circuit and resets phase (such as Shown in Fig. 3).At this point, the reseting module 13, current integration module 14 and photodiode 15 in circuit constitute and reset loop.Value It obtains one and is mentioned that the access of the parasitic capacitance Cp of photodiode 15 can will affect the stability of loop, therefore, in loop stability Property be affected in the case where, third control switch S3 can also be disconnected, thus disconnect photodiode 15 and reseting module 13 and The connection of current integration module 14, in this way, reseting module 13 and current integration module 14 just constitute reset loop.This phase In, error amplifier U2 and current integration module 14 constitute a unit gain amplifying unit, i.e. error amplifier U2 output end Voltage is equal with the voltage of two input terminals, is equal to reference voltage Vcm.At this point, the current potential of two pole plates of integrating capacitor Cf Respectively equal (being equal to reference voltage Vcm), to achieve the purpose that reset integrating capacitor Cf.
Then, circuit can be made to carry out current integration phase by disconnecting the first control switch S1 and the second control switch S2 (as shown in Figure 4).As described above, since the flip-flop in 15 background photo current of photodiode is by sampling electronic switch M0 The electric current Id of output is offset.Therefore, in this phase, high fdrequency component only in 15 background photo current of photodiode and apart from biography The photosignal that light emitting diode (LED) in sensor emission part issues enters in integrating capacitor Cf.In order to further eliminate High fdrequency component in the background photo current, the present embodiment, can be to the high frequency divisions in background photo current in lumination of light emitting diode The photosignal of amount and light emitting diode is once integrated, then when light emitting diode extinguishes, then in background photo current High fdrequency component once integrated, the result integrated twice is subtracted each other in numeric field later, to obtain light emitting diode Photosignal.
It is carried out specifically, timing diagram as shown in Figure 5 can be used in the current integration phase of the present embodiment.Wherein, sh is to apply The control signal (when sh is high ordinary mail, the first control switch closure) of the first control switch S1 is added to, rst is to be applied to second Control signal (when rst is high ordinary mail, the second control switch S2 closure), the led_clk of control switch S2 is luminous to be applied to Control signal (when led_clk is high ordinary mail, lumination of light emitting diode), the oe of diode are to be applied to third control switch S3 Control signal (oe be high ordinary mail when, third control switch disconnect), dout be analog-to-digital conversion module output signal.This reality Apply in example, the second end of current integration module 14 for connecting ADC, the ADC can sample rate current integration module 14 integrate twice Value, and analog-to-digital conversion is carried out to the value of sampling.
As can be seen that the timing diagram is largely divided into two stages, i.e. sh is high flat signal phase and sh is low electric signal Stage.When sh is high flat signal phase, circuit is in current sample phase, and sampling is 15 background photo current of photodiode In DC component Ipd.When sh is the low electric signal stage, in a cycle T: first making rst high ordinary mail number, and keep led_ Clk, oe are low level signal, at this point, circuit enters reset phase, integrating capacitor Cf is reset (two pole plates of integrating capacitor Cf Current potential all be reference voltage Vcm).Then, keeping oe is low level signal, and rst is made to become low ordinary mail from high ordinary mail number Number, led_clk becomes high ordinary mail number from LOW signal, at this point, circuit enters current integration phase, lumination of light emitting diode, electricity It flows integration module 14 and carries out first time integral (i.e. the corresponding position A in figure).Then, keeping rst is LOW signal, and makes led_ Clk becomes LOW signal from high ordinary mail number, and oe becomes high ordinary mail number from low level signal, at this point, light emitting diode extinguishes, third Control switch S3 disconnects (as shown in Figure 6), and circuit enters analog-to-digital conversion phase, and ADC carries out first time sampling, i.e. reading electric current product Sub-module 14 first time principal value of integral, and the value is subjected to analog-to-digital conversion.When oe is dragged down (failing edge), ADC output is for the first time Value (i.e. D0) after analog-to-digital conversion.In ADC sampling, third control switch S3 is disconnected, so that current integration module 14 is not appointed What signal input, keeps output state to be sampled to ADC, advantageously ensures that the accuracy of sampling.
Later, when oe becomes low electric signal, rst changes high ordinary mail number by LOW signal, and circuit is again introduced into reset phase, Integrating capacitor Cf is reset.After reset, rst is become into LOW signal from high ordinary mail number, and it is low flat for keeping led_clk and oe Signal, at this point, circuit is again introduced into current integration phase, current integration module 14 carries out second of integral, and (i.e. B is corresponding in figure Position).Since the two pipe pipes that shine at this time extinguish, current integration module 14 only has the high frequency in 15 background photo current of photodiode Component input, therefore, second of integral is integrated to the high fdrequency component.After second integrates, oe is again by low level Become high level, circuit is again introduced into analog-to-digital conversion phase, and ADC carries out second and samples, i.e. reading current integration module 14 the The value of quadratic integral, and the value is subjected to analog-to-digital conversion.When oe is dragged down, the value after ADC second of analog-to-digital conversion of output is (i.e. D1)。
Value D1 after subtracting second of analog-to-digital conversion with the value D0 after first time analog-to-digital conversion, can be obtained light emitting diode It is luminous when photosignal.
As seen in Figure 5, before carrying out analog-to-digital conversion for several times, the present embodiment only needs to carry out primary current and adopts Sample, when carrying out analog-to-digital conversion, a required signal (i.e. hair for light emitting diode can just be obtained by subtracting each other per the value converted twice The photosignal of light time).
The present embodiment in terms of existing technologies, firstly, connecting between the first end and second end of current integration module Reseting module is connect, the reseting module and one unit gain amplifying unit of current integration module composition, in this way, the output of reseting module The voltage at end is just equal with the voltage of two input terminal, i.e. the first end of current integration module and the voltage of second end is equal (being equal to the reference voltage), to achieve the purpose that reset current integration module.This reset mode avoids existing Have by the connection switch between the first end and second end of current integration module in technology, and using the switch to current integration The process that module is resetted, to reduce switch, bring is non-linear and noise problem.Secondly, an electric current product is only arranged Sub-module simplifies the structure of range sensor, is also conducive to reduce the area of range sensor receiving front-end and reduces cost.
The second embodiment of the application is related to a kind of range sensor reception analog front circuit.Second embodiment is The further improvement done on the basis of one embodiment, mainly thes improvement is that, second embodiment provides a kind of mutual conductance amplification The implementation of device, broad band amplifier and error amplifier.
