Description

Self-adaptive bandwidth adjusting circuit
Technical Field
The invention relates to a self-adaptive bandwidth adjusting circuit which can be applied to an optical communication chip for automatic bandwidth adjustment.
Background
In an optical communication chip, the bandwidth of a transimpedance amplifier is designed to be 0.8 times of the transmission rate, so that a good compromise can be made between sensitivity and intersymbol interference. However, the bandwidth of the transimpedance amplifier is not only related to the circuit of the transimpedance amplifier, but also related to parameters of packaging and external components, such as parasitic capacitance of a photodiode, input bonding inductance and the like. Therefore, the design of the bandwidth of the transimpedance amplifier circuit is challenged, the same transimpedance amplifier chip is provided with photodiodes of different manufacturers, and the package of the same transimpedance amplifier chip in different manufacturers has larger bandwidth difference, which directly causes the inconsistency of the performance and finally causes the poor adaptability and portability of the transimpedance amplifier circuit.
In an optical communication chip, in order to satisfy a sufficient receiving dynamic range, a variable gain control circuit is generally integrated to control a transimpedance in a transimpedance amplifier, and when an input optical power is high, the variable gain control circuit reduces the transimpedance of the transimpedance amplifier to receive a larger input signal, as shown in fig. 1, a schematic diagram of the transimpedance amplifier of the integrated variable gain control circuit is shown. The transimpedance changes greatly along with the change of the size of an input signal, but the bandwidth of a link does not change greatly, and the decrease of the transimpedance inevitably brings the increase of the bandwidth of the transimpedance amplifier, if the bandwidth is not adjusted in time, the overshoot of an output signal is larger, an eye pattern is closed, and Jitter is increased. To address this problem, conventional solutions achieve adjusting the bandwidth of the transimpedance amplifier by adjusting the compensation network of the transimpedance amplifier while the variable gain control circuit adjusts the transimpedance. However, the input variable for adjusting the bandwidth by the method is the amplitude of the signal, and if the link does not need to adjust the bandwidth and the amplitude of the signal reaches the adjustment threshold, the bandwidth is adjusted, so that the overshoot is caused; if the link needs bandwidth adjustment and the signal amplitude does not reach the adjustment threshold, the bandwidth adjustment is not performed, so that the adjustment is not in place.

The working principle of the embodiment is as follows:
when there is no signal, the output of the second amplifier OP2 in the comparison circuit is less than the second reference voltage VREF2After the difference is amplified by the third amplifier OP3, the positive output terminal of the third amplifier outputs the positive output signal VOP of the comparison circuit to the gate terminals of the eighth NMOS transistor M8 and the tenth NMOS transistor M10 in the high-frequency gain stage, and the negative output terminal of the third amplifier outputs the negative output signal VON of the comparison circuit to the gate terminals of the seventh NMOS transistor M7 and the ninth NMOS transistor M9 in the high-frequency gain stage, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the gain of the high-frequency gain stage. Second reference voltage V in comparison circuitREF2The setting of the voltage and the gain of the third amplifier OP3 need to ensure that the current of the branches of the seventh NMOS transistor M7 and the eighth NMOS transistor M8 in the high-frequency gain stage flows through the eighth NMOS transistor M8, and the current of the branches of the ninth NMOS transistor M9 and the tenth NMOS transistor M10 flows through the tenth NMOS transistor M10, at this time, the high-frequency gain stage is not connected to the link.
After the output signal of the front-stage amplifier is input to the positive input end and the negative input end of the low-frequency gain stage and the positive input end and the negative input end of the high-frequency gain stage, the low-frequency component in the output signal of the front-stage amplifier is amplified by the low-frequency gain stage to obtain a first amplified signal, the high-frequency component in the output signal of the front-stage amplifier is amplified by the high-frequency gain stage to obtain a second amplified signal, and then the first amplified signal and the second amplified signal are fed to a first amplifier OP1 in the detection module; the first amplifier OP1 performs sampling amplification to obtain a third amplified signal, the output of the first amplifier OP1 is divided into two paths, one path is output through alternating current coupling of the second capacitor C2 and the third capacitor C3, and the other path is output through alternating current coupling of the fourth capacitor C4 and the fifth capacitor C5. Signals output by alternating current coupling of the second capacitor C2 and the third capacitor C3 pass through a low-pass network of a sixth resistor R6, a sixth capacitor C6, a seventh resistor R7 and a seventh capacitor C7 and then are fed to gate ends of an eleventh NMOS transistor M11 and a twelfth NMOS transistor M12; signals output by alternating current coupling of the fourth capacitor C4 and the fifth capacitor C5 pass through the eighth resistor R8 and the ninth resistor R9 and then are fed into the thirteenth NMOS transistor M13 and the fourteenth NMOS transistor M14. The third amplified signal completes peak detection of low-frequency components in the third amplified signal after passing through a threshold network in an eleventh NMOS transistor M11 and a twelfth NMOS transistor M12, completes peak detection of high-frequency components in the third amplified signal in a thirteenth NMOS transistor M13 and a fourteenth NMOS transistor M14, converts peak information into a direct current signal, and flows through a fourteenth resistor R14 and a fifteenth resistor R15 in the comparison circuit respectively.
The direct current signal with the high-frequency peak information and the low-frequency peak information is converted into a voltage signal through a fourteenth resistor R14 and a fifteenth resistor R15 in the comparison circuit, and is amplified through a second amplifier OP2 in the comparison circuit, and the second amplifier OP2 can be designed as an integrating amplifier, so that the purpose of slowly adjusting the bandwidth is achieved; if the link bandwidth is insufficient at this time, the signal high frequency gain is insufficient, and the direct current flowing through the fourteenth resistor R14 is larger than the direct current flowing through the fifteenth resistor R15. The integrating amplifier, that is, the second amplifier OP2, continuously amplifies the voltage difference between the fourteenth resistor R14 and the fifteenth resistor R15, when the output of the second amplifier OP2 gradually increases, the positive output signal VOP of the comparison circuit output by the third amplifier OP3 gradually increases, the negative output signal VON gradually decreases, and the current flowing through the seventh NMOS transistor M7 and the ninth NMOS transistor M9 in the high-frequency gain stage gradually increases, so as to compensate the high-frequency gain of the link signal, with the continuous increase of the high-frequency gain of the link signal, until the dc current flowing through the fifteenth electronic transistor R14 is equal to the dc current flowing through the fifteenth resistor R15, the voltages of the positive output signal VOP of the comparison circuit and the negative output signal VON of the comparison circuit tend to be stable, the high-frequency gain stage no longer compensates the high-frequency gain of the link signal, and the bandwidth of the entire link reaches a stable state. If the spectral characteristics of the link change again, the adjustment is restarted. In this embodiment, when the link bandwidth is the largest, the currents of the branches of the seventh NMOS transistor M7 and the eighth NMOS transistor M8 in the high-frequency gain stage flow through the seventh NMOS transistor M7, the currents of the branches of the ninth NMOS transistor M9 and the tenth NMOS transistor M10 flow through the ninth NMOS transistor M9, and when the link bandwidth is the smallest, the currents of the branches of the seventh NMOS transistor M7 and the eighth NMOS transistor M8 flow through the eighth NMOS transistor M8, and the currents of the branches of the ninth NMOS transistor M9 and the tenth NMOS transistor M10 flow through the tenth NMOS transistor M10.
In summary, the present invention provides a self-adaptive bandwidth adjusting circuit, which includes a low-frequency gain stage and a high-frequency gain stage, wherein the low-frequency gain stage amplifies a low-frequency component of an input signal of the self-adaptive bandwidth adjusting circuit to obtain a first amplified signal, the high-frequency gain stage amplifies a high-frequency component of the input signal of the self-adaptive bandwidth adjusting circuit to obtain a second amplified signal, a gain of a high-frequency gain stage connected to a link is controlled by an output signal of a comparing circuit, and outputs of the low-frequency gain stage and the high-frequency gain stage are combined to be an output of the whole self-adaptive bandwidth adjusting circuit to a post-amplifier; the detection circuit superposes the first amplification signal and the second amplification signal and then amplifies the superposed signals to obtain a third amplification signal, detects the peak value of the high-frequency component in the third amplification signal in real time and the peak value of the low-frequency component in the third amplification signal after passing through a threshold network, and feeds the detection result to the comparison circuit for comparison, and then the comparison circuit controls the gain of the high-frequency gain stage in real time according to the comparison result. Compared with the traditional mode of adjusting the bandwidth by adjusting the transimpedance amplifier compensation network, the input variable of the invention is the frequency spectrum of the signal, so that the bandwidth cannot be overshot or not adjusted in place, and the bandwidth can be kept stable when a large signal or a small signal is input.
