Description

Chopping frequency signal generating circuit
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of signal processing technologies, and in particular, to a method for processing a chopping frequency signal and a circuit for generating a chopping frequency signal, which are used in a chopping stabilization technology.
Background
The chopper stabilization technology modulates 1/f noise and circuit offset voltage in a circuit to high frequency through a signal modulation technology, and then filters the noise and the offset voltage through a subsequent low-pass filter, so that the low-noise electrical performance is obtained. The principle of the chopping stabilization technology is that an input signal is firstly modulated to a chopping frequency and then modulated back to a baseband frequency, offset voltage and 1/f noise are modulated to the position of the chopping frequency and the position of odd harmonic of the chopping frequency, and the odd components are filtered by a low-pass filter circuit of a subsequent circuit, so that the aim of low noise is fulfilled. As shown in fig. 1, explaining this principle from the time domain, the input signal is periodically inverted by a first pair of switches Φ 1, after passing through the amplifier, the inverted and amplified signal is re-inverted by a second pair of switches Φ 2, thus leaving only a dc signal, and the offset voltage is periodically modulated onto the square wave frequency and finally filtered out by the filter.
The common chopping frequency is a fixed frequency, and the frequency is far greater than the-3 dB frequency of the filter, and is generally 5-10 times. But the chopped residual signal of fixed frequency can be overlapped and mixed into the band by the subsequent ADC switch sampling circuit, and the signal-to-noise ratio is reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to design a chopper frequency signal generating circuit capable of improving the signal-to-noise ratio performance of a chopper stabilization circuit under the sampling of a switched capacitor circuit, so that the signal-to-noise ratio performance of the whole analog front end up to the output of an ADC is not reduced.
