Description

Phase interpolator
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuits, in particular to a phase interpolator.
Background
Phase Interpolators (PIs) are widely used in various circuits, such as polar modulation circuits, Phase Locked Loops (PLLs), Delay Locked Loops (DLLs) and Clock Data Recovery (CDR) circuits in wireless transceivers, mainly for interpolating and synthesizing high-precision multipath phase relationships or as sampling clock signals, and the linearity of the phase interpolator determines the overall noise performance of the application circuit, so that a phase interpolator with high linearity becomes a key for design.
The phase interpolator is mainly implemented by interpolation means, such as voltage interpolation, which can be implemented in CMOS. A general interpolation method is to use two adjacent phases that are 90 degrees out of phase and mix them in a certain ratio to obtain an intermediate phase. The position of the intermediate phase can be adjusted by adjusting the mixing proportion, and the adjustment of any phase from 0 degree to 90 degrees is realized. If a data selector is added to select two adjacent phases of 0 degrees, 90 degrees, 180 degrees, 270 degrees before adjusting the mixing, any phase from 0 degrees to 360 degrees can be obtained.
Since the influence of power supply noise in the circuit greatly affects the final performance of the circuit, the delay of one first inverter can generate a jitter of several picoseconds due to the power supply noise, and both a delay line (delay line) and a phase interpolator can be equivalently regarded as a cascade of several first inverters. Compared with the delay line, the inverter circuit of the Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) structure of the phase interpolator has fewer stages, strong power supply noise suppression capability and wide phase adjustment range.
However, the gain of the CMOS inverter of the phase interpolator having the CMOS structure is high, so that the linearity and the accuracy of the phase interpolator are not high, thereby affecting the sampling of the clock signal.

Detailed Description
Fig. 1 shows a system architecture to which an embodiment of the present invention is applicable, which includes a Phase Locked Loop (PLL), a Phase Interpolator (PI), a Finite State Machine (FSM), and a Phase Detector (PD). In the system, a PLL (phase locked loop) sends in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) signals to a PI (phase locked loop), and a Clock (CK) with any phase between 0 degree and 360 degrees can be obtained through the PIIQ) Signal, the CKIQCan participate in the Data (Data, D) in the PDin) After FSM integration, the sampling signal generates phase control bit of PI, so that CKIQIs maintained at D at any timeinOf the center of (c).
In the system architecture, PI is mainly used for synthesizing high-precision multipath phases through an interpolation means, and the sampling result of a clock signal can be influenced by the linearity of the PI. Based on this, an embodiment of the present invention provides a phase interpolator, which has a structure shown in fig. 2, and specifically includes:
an input port 201, an output port 202, at least one data selector 203 and at least one smoothing buffer 204.
Wherein, the input port of each data selector 203 is connected to the input port 201 of the phase interpolator, and the output port of each data selector 203 is connected to the input port of the corresponding smoothing buffer 204. One data selector 203 may be correspondingly connected to one smooth buffer 204, or may be correspondingly connected to a plurality of smooth buffers 204, and in actual application, the number of the connected smooth buffers 204 may be selected according to simulation based on a requirement on a time length of a delay. The output port of each smoothing buffer 204 is connected to the output port 202 of the phase interpolator, respectively. The smoothing buffer 204 includes N delay units 2041, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2. The phase interpolator may delay and output the signal obtained from the data selector 203 through N cascaded delay units 2041, so that the linearity of the phase interpolator may be improved.
In the embodiment of the present invention, each of the N delay units 2041 includes a first inverter 20411 and a second inverter 20412. The signal output from the data selector 203 is delayed once by the first inverter 20411 in the delay unit 2041 and then delayed a second time by the second inverter 20412, and after a signal is inverted twice, the phase of the output signal is the same as the phase at the input. For example, the phase of the signal input from the first inverter 20411 is 90 degrees, the phase of the signal converted by the first inverter 20411 is 270 degrees, and the phase of the signal is changed to 90 degrees after the conversion by the second inverter 20412. Similarly, when the signal input by the first inverter 20411 is at a high level, the output signal is at a low level, and the signal output by the second inverter 20412 is at a high level again, wherein the process of converting the high level into the low level by the first inverter 20411 and the process of converting the high level into the low level by the second inverter 20412 both generate a delay. Therefore, the more the delay unit 2041, the longer the delay generated by the signal output from the smoothing buffer 204, and the signal delay output is realized.
The transition of the signal from the data selector 203 through one inverter will generate a delay, i.e. a rising or falling edge, and the more delay units 2041 are connected, the more rising or falling edges are generated, and the smoother the rising or falling edge of the signal output by the phase interpolator. When the signal output is represented graphically, the rising edge or the falling edge can be represented as a bump, and the linearity is not good if the rising edge or the falling edge generated by one or two inverters can cause the output signal to jump. The more delay units 2041 are, the more rising edges or falling edges are generated, the more dense the bumps are, so that the bumps look like a smooth curve, and the linearity of the output of the phase interpolator can be improved.
Based on the above structure, fig. 3 exemplarily shows a structure of a smoothing buffer 204 provided by an embodiment of the present invention, in fig. 3, a first input port of a first inverter 20411 of a kth delay unit 2041 is connected to an output port of the first inverter 20411 of a kth-1 th delay unit 2041, a first input port of a second inverter 20412 of the kth delay unit 2041 is connected to an output port of the first inverter 20411 of the kth delay unit 2041, and an output port of the second inverter 20412 of each delay unit 2041 is connected to an output port 202 of the phase interpolator. An input port of the first inverter 20411 in the 1 st delay unit 2041 of the N delay units 2041 is connected to the output port of the corresponding data selector 203, the first inverter 20411 of the 1 st delay unit 2041 is respectively connected to the first input port of the second inverter 20412 and the first input port of the first inverter 20411 of the 2 nd delay unit 2041, and k is greater than or equal to 2 and is less than N. The signal output by the data selector 203 passes through the first inverter 20411 of the 1 st delay unit 2041, then passes through the first input port of the second inverter of the 1 st delay unit 2041 and the subsequent cascaded delay unit 2041, and finally converges to the output port 202 of the phase interpolator to complete the output.
The phase interpolator outputs the signal obtained from the data selector in a delay way through the cascaded delay units in the smoothing buffer, so that the linearity of the phase interpolator can be improved, and the more the number of the cascaded delay units is, the longer the delay time is.
In order to obtain the best linearity, the total delay of the cascaded N delay units is about half a clock cycle, so the available frequency of the smoothing buffer obtained by using a fixed number of delay units is narrow. If the smoothing buffer needs to be adjustable for a large range of frequencies, the structure in fig. 4 below can be used to adjust the strength of the third and fourth transistors to increase or decrease the delay of the delay unit, making the total delay length close to half a clock cycle.
