Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of large-scale integrated circuits, in particular to an Autozero-based high-precision successive approximation type analog-digital converter and a working method thereof.
Background
In recent years, new information technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, internet of things and the like are rapidly developed, and deep influence is brought to the economic society. These techniques have evolved without the need for large amounts of data acquisition, quantification and processing. Data quantization is an integral loop in the whole data processing flow and determines the quantity and quality of the whole data circulation. Data quantization is to convert an analog signal into a digital signal; the circuit that performs the conversion of the analog signal to the digital signal is called an analog-to-digital converter. The analog-to-digital converter includes a pipeline analog-to-digital converter, a successive approximation analog-to-digital converter, an oversampling analog-to-digital converter, and the like.
When analog-digital conversion is carried out, accurate quantization is often required to be carried out on an analog signal, so that a higher requirement is put on the accuracy of an analog-digital converter; the amplifier has a mismatch voltage and noise of millivolt level, which limits the precision of the analog-digital converter. Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a conventional analog-to-digital converter; in order to realize accurate quantization of an analog signal, a two-stage analog-to-digital converter is adopted in the field of a high-precision successive approximation type analog-to-digital converter, and the basic structure of the two-stage analog-to-digital converter is shown in fig. 2. The structure mainly comprises three parts: the device comprises a first-stage analog-digital converter, an amplifier and a second-stage analog-digital converter. The first-stage analog-digital converter quantizes the input analog signal to obtain a corresponding quantization result. When the first-stage analog-digital converter is quantized, according to the characteristics of the successive approximation type analog-digital converter, residual voltage exists at the input end of the comparator, and the range of the residual voltage value is 1 minimum weight voltage (LSB) of the first-stage analog-digital converter. The residual voltage is amplified by a certain multiple by an amplifier and then is used as an input signal to be input to the second-stage analog-digital converter. And the second-stage analog-digital converter further quantizes the amplified residual voltage to obtain a corresponding quantization result. The quantization results of the first-stage analog-digital converter and the second-stage analog-digital converter are combined and distributed according to a certain weight to obtain an accurate quantization result, so that the conversion from an analog signal to a digital signal is realized. The analog-digital converter utilizes two-stage analog-digital converters to quantize the residual voltage of the first-stage analog-digital converter again, and the requirement of high precision is met. However, in such a structure, due to the influence of factors such as a manufacturing process, mismatch voltage and noise of several tens of millivolts exist at an input end of the amplifier, and how to eliminate the influence of the mismatch voltage and the noise of the amplifier, so as to effectively improve the accuracy of the analog-to-digital converter is a problem to be solved at present.

The amplifier amplifies the residual voltage of the first stage analog-digital converter, and the second stage analog-digital converter quantizes the amplified residual voltage again, so that the input voltage is accurately quantized. The high-precision analog-digital converter uses Auto Zero technology, and can effectively eliminate the influence of mismatch voltage and noise of the amplifier, thereby further improving the precision.
As shown in fig. 5, the high-precision successive approximation type analog-to-digital converter provided by the present application operates according to the following flow:
s1, receiving input positive and negative end sampling voltages by the first-stage analog-digital converter and quantizing the voltages; specifically, the digital-to-analog converter 11 and the digital-to-analog converter 12 sample the positive and negative terminal input voltages under the control of the digital circuit 11 and the digital circuit 12.
The specific quantization process is as follows: in the first step, the comparator compares the voltage at the input terminal of the comparator and outputs a high level or a low level. And secondly, setting the lower plates of the capacitors from left to right in sequence from the maximum capacitor (usually the first group of capacitors on the left side) of the digital-analog converter according to the comparison result of the comparator. When the comparison result of the comparator is high level, the capacitor connected with the positive end of the comparator in the group of capacitors to be compared is set at reference low voltage, and the capacitor connected with the negative end of the comparator is set at reference high voltage; and when the comparison result is low level, the capacitor connected with the positive end of the comparator in the group of capacitors to be compared is set at reference high voltage, and the capacitor connected with the negative end of the comparator is set at reference low voltage. And thirdly, setting the capacitor connected with the comparator, changing the voltage at the input end of the comparator, comparing again by the comparator and outputting a comparison result. And setting the capacitance at the corresponding position according to the output result of the comparator. And fourthly, repeating the process until all the capacitors of the first-stage analog-digital converter are set, and finishing the quantization.
S2, short-circuiting the input end of the amplifier, and amplifying mismatch voltage and noise;
the amplifier amplifies mismatch voltage and noise. The input of the amplifier is short-circuited, the external input voltage is zero, and only self mismatch voltage and noise are amplified. The mismatch voltage and noise are amplified by the amplifier, the switch S31 is turned on, and the first single-ended dac 21 samples the amplified mismatch voltage and noise of the amplifier. The amplifier mismatch voltage and noise are stored in the first single-ended digital-to-analog converter 21. After the first-stage analog-digital converter is quantized, residual voltage exists at two ends of the comparator. The residual voltage is input to the input of the amplifier. Due to the mismatch voltage and noise of the amplifier, the amplifier amplifies the residual voltage of the first stage analog-to-digital converter and the mismatch voltage and noise of the amplifier.
And S3, the second single-ended digital-to-analog converter 22 in the second-stage analog-to-digital converter samples the amplified mismatch voltage, noise and residual voltage.
And sampling by the second-stage analog-digital converter. After the residual voltage of the first stage adc and the mismatch voltage and noise of the amplifier are amplified by the amplifier, the switch S32 is turned on, and the second single-ended dac 22 samples the amplified residual voltage of the first stage adc and the mismatch voltage and noise of the amplifier. In conjunction with step S2, the input voltage of the second stage adc is:
(first stage adc remnant voltage + amplifier mismatch voltage and noise) -amplifier mismatch voltage and noise) is the amplification factor, i.e. the first stage adc remnant voltage.
And S4, quantizing the second-stage analog-digital converter. The first single-ended digital-to-analog converter and the second single-ended digital-to-analog converter form a differential digital-to-analog converter, mismatch voltage and noise are mutually offset, and only residual voltage is quantized. After multiple comparisons by the comparator, all the capacitors of the second-stage analog-digital converter are set, and the quantization is finished.
And S5, combining the quantization results of the first-stage analog-digital converter and the second-stage analog-digital converter, and distributing according to a certain weight to obtain an accurate quantization result so as to realize the conversion from an analog signal to a digital signal.
Fig. 6 shows a timing chart of the analog-to-digital converter. In one quantization period, three time segments are divided. During each time period, three major parts of the analog-to-digital converter (first stage analog-to-digital converter, amplifier, second stage analog-to-digital converter) operate simultaneously.
At time 1, the first stage analog-to-digital converter samples and quantizes the input signal; the amplifier input is shorted to the common mode voltage VCM. The amplifier output is connected to a single-ended digital-to-analog converter 21 in the second stage. The mismatch voltage and noise are amplified by the amplifier and stored in the second digital-to-analog converter 21 of the second stage analog-to-digital converter. Corresponding to steps S1 and S2 in the concrete working process.
At time 2, the quantization of the first-stage analog-to-digital converter is finished, and the residual voltage is kept; the input voltage of the amplifier is the residual voltage of the first-stage analog-digital converter, and because the input end of the amplifier always has mismatch voltage and noise, the amplifier amplifies the residual voltage of the first-stage analog-digital converter and the mismatch voltage and noise of the amplifier; the amplified remaining voltage of the first stage adc and the mismatch voltage and noise of the amplifier are stored in the second digital-to-analog converter 22 of the second stage adc. Corresponding to step S3 in the specific work process.
At time 3, switch S31 and switch S32 are open and the amplifier is isolated from the two single-ended digital to analog converters of the second stage. At this time, the first stage analog-to-digital converter and the amplifier are in a non-operating state and can be dormant to save power consumption. The second stage adc continues to quantize the amplified residual voltage, and the first single-ended dac 21 and the second single-ended dac 22 operate simultaneously to complete the quantization of the residual voltage of the first stage adc. After the second-stage analog-digital converter is quantized, the quantization results of the first-stage analog-digital converter and the second-stage analog-digital converter are combined and distributed according to certain weight to obtain an accurate quantization result, and conversion from an analog signal to a digital signal is achieved.
In the implementation process of the Auto Zero technology, the connection mode of the amplifier and the first-stage analog-to-digital converter and the second-stage analog-to-digital converter is the key. Fig. 7 is a detailed diagram of the connection of the amplifier.
The specific working steps are as follows:
1. when mismatch voltage and noise are amplified, the switch S11 and the switch S12 are opened, the switch S21 and the switch S22 are closed, and the amplifier input is short-circuited and connected to the common-mode voltage VCM. At this time, the amplifier input voltage is a mismatch voltage and noise. The mismatch voltage and noise are amplified by the amplifier and then output to the second stage analog-to-digital converter from the output 1.
2. When the residual voltage of the first-stage analog-digital converter is amplified, the switch S11 and the switch S12 are closed, the switch S21 and the switch S22 are opened, and the input ends of the amplifier are respectively connected with the positive end input and the negative end input of the first-stage analog-digital converter, namely the residual voltage of the first-stage analog-digital converter. At this time, the amplifier input voltage is the sum of the residual voltage of the first stage analog-to-digital converter, the mismatch voltage of the amplifier and the noise. The sum of the residual voltage of the first-stage analog-digital converter, the mismatch voltage of the amplifier and the noise is amplified by the amplifier and then is output to the second-stage analog-digital converter from the output 1.
