Detailed Description
As shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a thin film transistor-based switched capacitor comparator, including an inverter module, a switching module, a first capacitor C1 and a second capacitor C2, wherein the switching module includes a first thin film transistor T1, a second thin film transistor T2 and a third thin film transistor T3;

In this embodiment, the first capacitor is a first coupling capacitor, and the second capacitor is a second coupling capacitor, which has the function of blocking direct current and alternating current. The switchThe first thin film transistor, the second thin film transistor and the third thin film transistor in the module are controlled by a clock signal, when a clock CLK connected with a grid electrode is in a high level, the switch is closed, the transistors are in a conducting state, and when the clock CLK is in a low level, the switch is opened, and the transistors are in a cut-off state. The comparator operation is divided into two phases: the first phase is a sampling phase, in which the first clock signal CLK1 and the second clock signal CLK2 are turned on to control the first thin film transistor T1 and the second thin film transistor T2 to be turned on, and the third clock signal CLK3 is turned on to control the third thin film transistor T3 to be turned off. Since the first TFT T1 is turned on, the voltage at the point A is equal to the reference voltage VrefI.e. VA=VrefSince the points B and C are the input node and the output node of the inverter module, the voltages at the two points are directly leveled to be equal potential during the sampling period when the switch T2 is turned on, i.e. the points B and C are the input node and the output node of the inverter module

The second phase is a comparison phase, in which the first clock signal CLK1 and the second clock signal CLK2 are switched to a low level to control the first thin film transistor T1 and the second thin film transistor T2 to be turned off, and the third clock signal CLK3 is switched to a high level to control the third thin film transistor T3 to be turned on; at the moment, the voltage at the point A is measured by V in the sampling stagerefInput signal V jumping into comparison phaseinI.e. the amount of voltage-generated jump Δ V at point AA=Vin-VrefBy utilizing the characteristic that voltage at two ends of the capacitor cannot change suddenly, voltage at point B can also change in the same size through the coupling effect of the second capacitor C2, and the jump quantity delta VB=ΔVAChange amount Δ V of voltage at point BBThen the voltage V at the output end C point of the comparator is obtained through the amplification and the phase inversion of the phase inverter moduleCIs determined by the size of the sampling phase

Corresponding jump to high potential approaching VDDOr the low potential approaches 0, i.e.The digital signals correspond to high and low levels. Thus, when the input signal V of the comparator isinGreater than a reference voltage VrefI.e. Δ VAIf the voltage is positive, the output end is a low level signal after the voltage is amplified and inverted by the inverter module; when the input signal V of the comparator isinLess than reference voltage VrefI.e. Δ VAAnd when the voltage is negative, the output end is a high level signal after the voltage is amplified and inverted by the inverter module. Therefore, the input signal V can be input by the high-low level state of the output end of the comparatorinAnd a reference voltage VrefFor high resolution comparisons.

In order to increase the dc gain of the inverter module, the inverter module may be formed by using multi-stage pseudo CMOS inverters, and as shown in fig. 3, the inverter module of the present embodiment is formed by connecting 3-stage pseudo CMOS inverters in series.

Wherein the gate and the source of the fourth thin film transistor T4 are connected, i.e. the gate-source voltage V gs0, so the power consumption is low; a first voltage VssAdjustable to further increase the output swing, in this embodiment, the second voltage is the supply voltage VDD. In addition, the inverter with the structure has larger direct current gain, can effectively improve the circuit gain, and provides possibility for realizing high resolution for the comparator.

It can be seen that the intersection of the input signal and the output signal is located

Nearby, the inverter module works in the region with the largest direct current gain which is 49.73 times, the possibility of realizing high resolution of the comparator is provided, and the high level state of the output signal approaches to the power supply voltage VDDThe low state approaches 0.
The working state of the thin film transistor is controlled by clock signals given by the gate electrodes of the thin film transistors T1-T3, and therefore the function that the ratio of the input signal to the reference voltage is large is achieved. According to the sampling theorem, the frequency f of the clock signalCLKShould be greater than or equal to the input signal frequency

First, the sampling frequency is 1Khz, i.e. fCLKWhen the input signal is at high level 3.1V and low level 2.9V, i.e., Δ V, 1KhzAWhen 100mV is obtained, transient simulation is performed on the comparator, and the simulation result is shown in fig. 5. From the simulation results, it can be seen that the comparator can perform resolution normally at a sampling frequency of 1Khz and a resolution of 100 mV. Further, the input signal V is continuously reducedinUntil the comparator cannot distinguish, at which time, the voltage is Δ VANamely the minimum discrimination voltage (MDU) that the comparator can distinguish under the condition, the minimum discrimination voltage of the comparator of the invention is 24mV under the condition of sampling frequency 1Khz and reference voltage 3V through transient simulation, namely the simulation result with resolution of 24mV. is shown in fig. 6.
In order to study the relationship between the resolution and the sampling frequency of the switched capacitor comparator of the pseudo-CMOS structure of the present invention, the sampling frequency f is taken separatelyCLK200hz, 500hz, 1Khz, 2Khz, 3Khz, 4Khz and 5Khz at a reference voltage VrefTransient simulation was performed on the comparator under the condition of 3V, and the obtained resolutions of 23mV, 24mV, 30mV, 35mV, 120mV, and 500mV. were plotted as curves of the relation between the sampling frequency and the resolution (minimum discrimination voltage MDU), respectively, as shown in fig. 7.
