Description

High-gain low-noise switched capacitor adjustable gain amplifier
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of integrated circuit design, in particular to a high-gain low-noise switched capacitor adjustable gain amplifier.
Background
A switched capacitor variable gain amplifier (PGA) is often used in a sensor signal detection, analog-to-digital signal conversion (ADC) and digital-to-analog (DAC) conversion circuit. However, in the conventional PGA circuit with a switched capacitor, when a higher gain is achieved, the ratio of the input capacitor to the feedback capacitor of the switched capacitor amplifier is often increased, or a two-stage PGA circuit is cascaded. The former realizes high gain and simultaneously has much noise amplification of the switch capacitor, and the latter has defects in power consumption and chip area occupation consideration.
As shown in fig. 1, for example, a single-ended output switch capacitor PGA is used, a control clock signal of a CMOS switch is an equal-duration two-phase square wave with non-overlapping characteristics, a pulse square wave of a first phase is a sampling time, a pulse square wave of a second phase is an amplification or integration time, and charges of a sampling capacitor and an adjustable feedback capacitor are integrated by an operational amplifier through a feedback path. In the figure 120, a non-overlapping pulse generator generates the gate control signals for the switching tubes, and φ 1 and φ 2 are sampling and integration periods, respectively.
This achieves sampling and amplification of the signal within the time of one cycle. According to the working principle of the switch capacitor, the amplification factor of the PGA at phi 2 is the ratio of the input capacitor to the feedback capacitor:
Gain=Vout(n)/Vin(n)=C104/C108
where n is the number of pulse cycles.
The noise originated from the switched capacitor is a key index affecting the accuracy of the output signal, and the high amplification factor PGA should be designed to reduce the noise as much as possible. The switched capacitor noise entering the inverting input of the op-amp in fig. 1 is expressed in charge as:
Figure BDA0002465880750000011
where K is a constant and T is an absolute temperature value.
If translated to the input switched capacitor 104, the equivalent noise voltage at the input is expressed as:
Figure BDA0002465880750000012
the noise voltage at the output is:
Figure BDA0002465880750000013
in equation (3), the Gain is a value set by the amplification of the PGA signal, and generally Gain > >1, it can be seen that the reduction of the equivalent output noise of the PGA must increase the capacitance of the tunable capacitor 108 when Gain is a set value. But increasing the capacitance of the capacitor 108 is severely limited,
1. increasing the capacitance value of 108, and correspondingly increasing the capacitance value of 104 in order to keep the Gain unchanged; meanwhile, in order to maintain a certain system bandwidth, noise is filtered, and the reduction of the closed-loop feedback coefficient of the operational amplifier 111 is prevented from influencing the integration precision, the capacitance value of the integrating capacitor 102 must be increased. The result is a significant increase in the area required for the chip and an increase in cost.
2. If the capacitance values of 108 and 104 are increased simultaneously, the power consumption is also increased, because the charging and discharging current required by the operational amplifier 111 to complete integration is increased obviously and the chip power consumption is increased.
In practical application, most of the PGAs are in fully differential structures, and the principle is unchanged. The above formula for switched capacitor noise is the same as the problem encountered.

The application of the high-gain low-noise switched capacitor adjustable gain amplifier in a switched capacitor adjustable gain circuit for signal detection, analog-to-digital conversion, sensor signal amplification and conditioning is provided.
A sampling and integration time control method of a switched capacitor adjustable gain amplifier respectively controls the sampling time period and the integration time period of an adjustable feedback capacitor 108 of the switched capacitor adjustable gain amplifier:
1) the clock signal for controlling the integration time period of the adjustable feedback capacitor 108 is consistent with the clock signal for controlling the integration time period of the sampling capacitor 104;
2) the clock signal for controlling the sampling time period of the adjustable feedback capacitor 108 is a clock signal subjected to frequency division by N times, that is, the effective sampling time period of the adjustable feedback capacitor 108 in each N cycles is 1 cycle, the samples in other N-1 cycles are null samples, the null samples are voltage samples of 0, where N is a frequency division coefficient.
As shown in fig. 3, 220 and 221 are control signals generated by a square wave generator for controlling the CMOS switch tubes, where Φ 1 and Φ 2 are a sampling period and an integration period, respectively, 222 and 223 are control signals of the sixth CMOS switch tube 110 and the seventh CMOS switch tube 209 after being processed by the frequency divider, respectively, where the frequency division factor N is 4, and 224 is an output voltage waveform of Vout when the frequency division multiple N is 4.
1) In the sampling period φ 1 of the first cycle, the second COMS switch 105, the fourth COMS switch 107 and the sixth COMS switch 110 are closed, and the other switches are open. The sampling capacitor 104 and the adjustable feedback capacitor 108 are charged to vin.C by Vin and Vout, respectively104And Vout. C108
2) In the integration period phi 2 of the first cycle, the third cmos switch tube 106, the first cmos switch tube 103 and the fifth cmos switch tube 109 are closed, and the other switch tubes are opened. The charges in the sampling capacitor 104 and the adjustable feedback capacitor 108 are driven into the integrating capacitor 102, and the variation of the output voltage is:
ΔVout=(Vin·C104-Vout·C108)/C102
3) in the subsequent consecutive 3 cycles (i.e. the second cycle to the fourth cycle), as shown in 222 and 223 in fig. 3, the sixth cmos switch tube 110 is kept open all the time, and the seventh cmos switch tube 209 is closed in the sampling time period, so that the sampling of the adjustable feedback capacitor 108 is zero or "null sampling". After 4 cycles, the variation of the output voltage is:
ΔVout=(Vin·4·C104-Vout·C108)/C102(4)
it can be seen from equation (4) that when the division factor is 4, the equivalent of the adjustable feedback capacitor 108 is one fourth of the sampling capacitor 104, and the equivalent of the amplification factor is 4 when viewed from the average value of the output voltage, as shown in 224 of fig. 3.
From the perspective of each switched capacitor (sampling capacitor 104 and adjustable feedback capacitor 108), in the time period of each clock cycle, both plates of the capacitor are connected with switches to act, and the capacitance value of the capacitor is not changed before and after improvement. The switched capacitor noise defined by equations (1) - (3) thus still applies, i.e. a 4-fold amplification is achieved without increasing the output noise from the switched capacitor integrator.
The allocation multiple is not limited to 4 in the application, and can be designed into other suitable integers. It should be noted that as the division factor increases, the equivalent integration time constant increases and the bandwidth decreases.
