Working principle:
When not considering compensating electric capacityC FInfluence when, at trans-impedance amplifier circuit input end, obtained by Kirchhoff's law:
(1)
In formula:V OUTSmall signal is exported for trans-impedance amplifier;I INFor PD Injection Current;AThe straight of phase inverter is recommended for three-level Flow enhancement;R FFor across resistance;C INFor input node parasitic capacitance;sIt is argument of function.Formula (1) show whenAWhen > > 1, across The intermediate frequency transimpedance gain of impedance amplifier TIA is approximately equal to across resistanceR F, it is seen that:
(2)
In formula:f -3dBFor trans-impedance amplifier-three dB bandwidth.
For giving transmission rate, it is desirable that trans-impedance amplifier-three dB bandwidth optimal value is about its 0.7 times (for 2.5Gbit/ S, optimal design-three dB bandwidth about 1.8GHz), by formula (2) it is found that for given-three dB bandwidth, across resistanceR FResistance value determine Three-level recommends the DC current gain design objective of phase inverter.In order to minimize parasitic capacitance on main channel, trans-impedance amplifier is improved Rate, all transistor channel lengths are using minimum grid lengths on trans-impedance amplifier circuit main channel.Feedback loop by across ResistanceR FDC offset voltage is provided, because inputting without electric current, RFThe voltage difference at both ends is almost nil, so trans-impedance amplifier Input and output DC voltage is equal.Circuit after optimization is the size maximum that the first order recommends phase inverter, and reverse phase is recommended in the second level It is smaller and equal in magnitude that device with the third level recommends phase inverter size.
The main noise of trans-impedance amplifier is across resistanceR FNoise and amplifier noise, recommending phase inverter due to three-level has height The characteristic of gain, therefore amplifier noise depends mainly on the noise of first order input transistors.The flicker noise of transistor is only It only plays a major role in low frequency, therefore, they are negligible;It is available:
(3)
In formula:For equivalent inpnt reference current noise density;kFor Boltzmann constant;TFor temperature;g m1For input Grade equivalent transconductance.By formula (3) it is found that input mutual conductanceg m1It is bigger, feedback resistanceR FBigger, the equivalent inpnt of trans-impedance amplifier is made an uproar Acoustoelectric current is smaller.Three-level recommends that inverter structure is simple, does not need additional biasing circuit, for giving constant current, can provide most Big mutual conductance, equivalent transconductance are equal to the summation of PMOS, NMOS tube mutual conductance.It is greater than the technique of 500MHz for gain bandwidth product, uses Three-level is equivalent to recommend the cascade trans-impedance amplifier equivalent input noise current minimum of phase inverter, to have optimal noise-induced Energy.
Increase across resistanceR FAlso it can reduce the equivalent input noise current of trans-impedance amplifier, but according to formula (2), keeping Under the premise of trans-impedance amplifier bandwidth is constant, increase across resistanceR FNeed to increase the gain that three-level recommends phase inverterA.Three-level is recommended instead Phase device gainAIncrease cause the decline of dominant pole, to reduce the stability of loop.Therefore, noiseproof feature and amplifier Feedback loop stability should carry out stringent compromise.For 0.18um CMOS technology, trans-impedance amplifier after optimization is equivalent to make an uproar Acoustic-electric current density simulation result as shown in figure 3, trans-impedance amplifier-three dB bandwidth within the scope of, trans-impedance amplifier minimum input make an uproar Acoustic-electric current density is only 2.2, average equivalent input noise current density is only 5.4
Since three-level is recommended inside phase inverter comprising three poles, the raising of bandwidth is limited.Diode connection type Transistor MN3, transistor MP3 and transistor MP5, reduce the output impedance of the node, improve three-level and recommend phase inverter The pole frequency of the second level and third level output node makes it be far longer than the pole frequency of first order output node and loop- Three dB bandwidth.Three-level recommends phase inverter first order output node as dominant pole, if its Laplce's transfer function is
(4)
In formula:ω 0For the dominant pole of amplifier.When amplifier inputs small-signal current, transistor MN5, MN6 and MN7 are closed. Do not consider compensating electric capacityC FInfluence, trans-impedance amplifier feedback factor is
(5)
In formula:For the voltage feedback factor of trans-impedance amplifier feedback control loop.Meanwhile for trans-impedance amplifier shown in Fig. 2 Circuit is obtained by Kirchhoff's second law:
(6)
Formula (4) and (5) are substituted into formula (6) to obtain:
(7)
According to basic Theory of Automatic Control, to a denominator shaped likeSecond order function,, that is, damp Coefficient, it is necessary to be more than or equal to, if it is less than, transient response just will appear concussion.Trans-impedance amplifier is passed Defeated function can obtain:
(8)
In formula:For the damped coefficient of trans-impedance amplifier transfer function.If, then
(9)
Three-level recommends phase inverter dominant pole 0Have to be larger than 2A/(R F C IN) trans-impedance amplifier feedback control loop could stablize.By formula (2),ω 0Size limits the raising of TIA operating rate.The new compensation scheme that the technical program proposes does not use inductance, Under the premise of keeping trans-impedance amplifier stability, the operating rate of trans-impedance amplifier can be improved to the greatest extent.Compensation electricity HoldC FWith feedback resistanceR FParallel connection is constituted, and is not present among system transfer function, is existed only in feedback network.Consider to constitute The compensating electric capacity of virtual zero pointC FIt influences.So formula (5) is
(10)
Compensating electric capacityC FConstitute the zero point being located in feedback factor, (hereafter known as virtual zero point.) obviously, virtual zero point reduces The phase offset of feedback factor.Formula (10) are substituted into formula (6), can be obtained:
(11)
It considersC F<<C IN, can obtain
(12)
In formula:For the damped coefficient of feedback control loop after virtual zero point compensation.Compare formula (8) and formula (12), it is known that, compensation Capacitor increases the damped coefficient of feedback control loop, improves the stabilization of loop under conditions of not changing circuit structure and gain Property.Therefore, under conditions of three-level is recommended phase inverter gain bandwidth product and fixed, sample imaginary zero compensation technology is amplified across resistance Device can recommend phase inverter gain by increasing three-levelA, operating rate is improved to 2.5Gbit/s.For 0.18um CMOS work Skill, the frequency characteristic simulation result of trans-impedance amplifier as shown in figure 4, the trans-impedance amplifier-three dB bandwidth for using virtual zero point to compensate for 1.8GHz is 84.5dB Ω across resistance size.And if virtual zero point is not used to compensate, the increase of phase inverter gain causes under dominant pole After drop, the frequency response of trans-impedance amplifier produces ringing, as shown in phantom in Figure 4.
As shown in Figure 1, AGC voltageV AGCIt is generated by PVD according to signal strength, foundationV AGCValue can will Input photo-signal is divided into two regions: " inactive " region, " activation " region.In " inactive " region, photo-signal It is small,V AGCIt is maintained at minimum value, transistor MN5, transistor MN6 and transistor MN7 are in off state, and trans-impedance amplifier is kept Linear work, output voltage amplitude are linear with input current signal.And in " activation " region, input current is larger, is Trans-impedance amplifier is avoided to enter saturation state, automatic growth control is activated,V AGCBecome larger, transistor MN5, transistor MN6 and Transistor MN7 enters linear zone, be equivalent toV AGCThe variable resistance for increasing and becoming smaller realizes automatic gain when big signal Control, guarantees that, in " activation " region, trans-impedance amplifier still maintains linear work.In " activation " region, transistor MN5, crystal Pipe MN6 and transistor MN7 is opened.At this point,I INAnd it not all flows through across resistanceR F, wherein some alternating currentI 1Flow through crystal Pipe MN5, andV AGCIt is bigger, thenI 1Shared ratio is bigger.Meanwhile transistor MN5, transistor MN6 and transistor MN7 are also reduced Three-level recommends phase inverter overall gainA
When the optical power of input increases, formula (11) becomes
(13)
In formula:βFor one by feedback voltageV AGCThe constant of decision, 0≤β≤1;A ACTIt is that three-level recommends phase inverter in " activation " area The voltage gain in domain.From formula (13) as it can be seen that equivalent become original (1- β) times across resistance size, transistor MN6 and crystalline substance are not considered The influence of body pipe MN7, the gain that three-level recommends phase inverter composition are
(14)
In formula:g m1, g m2With g m3The respectively equivalent transconductance of three-level phase inverter;R L1, R L2WithR L3It is three-level phase inverter respectively Output node resistance sizes;R LFFor transistor MN5 equivalent linear area resistance, resistance value is by control voltageV AGCControl.Amplifier Dominant pole size is
(15)
In formula:C N1For the equivalent capacity size of first order phase inverter output node.So
(16)
An as constant, if its size is constant η.Therefore, have,
(17)
In formula:For trans-impedance amplifier " activation " region damped coefficient.With the increase of trans-impedance amplifier input optical power, resistance Buddhist nun's coefficientIt can't reduce, the automatic gain control circuit that the technical program proposes maintains TIA in whole bandwidth Stablize.Fig. 5 shows frequency response characteristic of the trans-impedance amplifier under different AGC voltages.It can from Fig. 5 Out, the trans-impedance amplifier reach 40dB across resistance variation range, bandwidth remains 1.8GHz in entire variation range.If Agc circuit does not have adaptation function, and the frequency response of trans-impedance amplifier will appear apparent ringing.
