As shown in fig. 5, the variable load capacitor array 170 includes: a 4-bit binary subtraction counter 172, a 4-bit binary code-to-thermometer code transcoder 174, and a negative and positive output load capacitor banks 176.1 and 176.2 formed by a plurality of grounded switched capacitor branches connected in parallel, wherein: the binary subtraction counter 172 outputs a 4-bit binary signal to the transcoder 174, which outputs a plurality of control signals respectively to connect with the switches in the capacitive branches; the variable load capacitor array has switches 171 and CLK applied by OP signalcaliAnd the operation is controlled.
When the OP signal is at high level, the variable load capacitor array is at CLKcaliUnder the control of the dynamic amplifier gradually reduces the negative of the dynamic amplifierTerminal and positive terminal output load capacitance banks 176.1 and 176.2;
when OP signal is at low level, load capacitance of dynamic amplifier is not influenced by CLKcaliThe load capacitance banks 176.1 and 176.2 remain unchanged.
The 4-bit binary subtraction counter 172 outputs 1111 when reset and 1 when the clock rising edge comes.

When 175.1-175.16 are high, C on the corresponding bit2To the VP or VN terminal as part of the dynamic amplifier load. C2And C1The larger the relative proportion of (C), the larger the calibration range of the gain of the dynamic amplifier, and the present embodiment needs to ensure that 16C are obtained2And when the VP or VN is completely switched in, the gain of the dynamic amplifier is smaller than the calibrated target gain.
The calibration accuracy of the variable load capacitor array may take other values, and the number of bits 172, 174, 176.1, and 176.2 may need to be modified to match the calibration accuracy.
The variable load capacitor arrays 176.1 and 176.2. 16 capacity values thereof are C2The capacitance of (2) may also be of different sizes, for example, the last capacitance value is taken as a relatively large value to increase the calibration range, so as to prevent the target gain from exceeding the calibration range after calibration.
The embodiment relates to the foreground calibration method of the dynamic amplifier, wherein the calibration is performed when the system is powered on, and the dynamic amplifier can normally work after the calibration is completed. When the system is powered on, each module is in a reset state, and the OP signal is at a high level, so that the dynamic amplifier is in a calibration loop.
The calibration input voltage circuit divider resistor 110 generates the input of the dynamic amplifier, in this embodiment, the calibration input voltage circuit divider resistor 110 is composed of 4 resistors, the input terminals RP and RN of the dynamic amplifier are connected to the two ends of the fourth divider resistor 110.4, and the target gain of the dynamic amplifier after calibration is 4.
In this embodiment, the RP terminal voltage is Vbias+1/4VrefRN terminal voltage is VbiasThe voltage difference between the two ends is 1/4VrefAfter being amplified by the dynamic amplifier, the difference between the output terminals VP and VN is about the actual gain of the dynamic amplifier multiplied by 1/4VrefIN this case, VP is the input IP of the dynamic comparator, and VN is the input IN of the dynamic comparator. When the dynamic comparator is reset, the output OP signal and the output ON signal are both high level, and when the dynamic comparator is in work, if the sum of the input voltages of the positive end is greater than the sum of the input voltages of the negative end, namely IP and VbiasThe sum is greater than IN and Vbias+VrefAnd if the sum is less than the predetermined value, the OP signal is kept at a high level and the ON signal is changed to a low level. Otherwise, the OP signal goes low and the ON signal remains high. In this example, if the actual gain of the dynamic amplifier is greater than the calibrated target gain, the OP signal is at a high level and the ON signal is at a low level; otherwise, if the actual gain of the dynamic amplifier is smaller than the calibrated target gain, the OP signal is at a low level, and the ON signal is at a high level. Because the gain of the dynamic amplifier is inversely proportional to the load capacitance, the load capacitance of the dynamic amplifier is the maximum value during resetting in the embodiment, if the calibration range is large enough, the actual gain of the dynamic amplifier is smaller than the calibrated target gain, the OP signal keeps high level, and the CLK signal is CLKcaliThe dynamic amplifier load capacitance is reduced by one unit under control of the signal. This is the end of the first calibration period.
In the next calibration period, the above steps are repeated until the load capacitance of the dynamic amplifier is reduced to make the actual gain of the dynamic amplifier greater than the calibrated target gain, the OP signal output becomes low level, the load capacitance of the dynamic amplifier does not change any more, meanwhile, the dynamic amplifier is disconnected from the calibration loop, the switch OP non-signal control switch 130 is turned on, and the dynamic amplifier is connected in the working loop and enters the normal working state. At this point, the calibration is complete.
As shown in fig. 2, for the timing diagram of the system and the voltage variation of the important node, in the period 210, the dynamic amplifier and the dynamic comparator are both in the reset state, and the OP signal, the ON signal, VP, and VN are all high level. During the period 220, the dynamic amplifier operates with its output voltages VP and VN dropping at a rate that depends on the magnitude of the input signals RP and RN and the magnitude of the load capacitance. At the beginning of the 230 time period, the operation of the dynamic amplifier is finished, the voltages of the outputs VP and VN are maintained, and the dynamic comparator is operated, and the OP signal and the ON signal become corresponding values according to the comparison result. During the 240 time period, the variable load capacitor array is operated, and the digital logic in the variable load capacitor array determines whether to reduce the load capacitance of the dynamic amplifier according to the value of the OP signal. And after the 240 time period is finished, resetting the dynamic amplifier and the dynamic comparator, completing a calibration period, and if the calibration is not finished, entering the 210 stage again, and circulating the steps.
The dynamic amplifier and the dynamic comparator are reset once in each calibration period, and the variable load capacitor array is reset once only when the chip is powered on.
Through specific practical experiments, the gain of the calibrated dynamic amplifier under the standard conditions of tt process angle, 55 ℃ and standard power supply voltage is 8.4. The gains of the two-phase current transformer are measured under 27 different PVT conditions, and the minimum gain is 5.8 under the ss process angle, the temperature of 125 ℃ and the power supply voltage which is 5 percent lower than the standard power supply voltage; the gain is maximum at ss process angle, -45 deg.C, and a supply voltage 5% higher than the standard supply voltage, 10.6. The maximum gain variation is about 31%. By using the calibration method of the present invention, the calibrated target gain is 8, 8 identical resistors are used to generate the calibrated input voltage, the capacitance of C1 in the variable load capacitor array is about 367f, and the capacitance of C2 is 64, each capacitance is about 17f, and the gain is 8.11 under the standard condition after calibration, and the maximum gain variation is about 2.5% under 27 different PVT conditions.
Gain compensation method of existing dynamic amplifier, its compensated gainThe ratio of the variation to the temperature variation is generally 3X 10-2The ratio of gain variation to temperature variation after calibration of the present invention is about 1.52 × 10 at a variation of the same power supply voltage around%/deg.C-2% at. Since the present invention is an integrated calibration system, the above effects can be achieved by virtue of the integrated system architecture and calibration concept.
