Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of oscilloscopes, in particular to a digital oscilloscope and a correction method of a time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter.
Background
The digital oscilloscope is a high-performance oscilloscope manufactured by a series of technologies such as data acquisition, analog-to-digital conversion, software programming and the like. Through the acquisition, processing and operation of the signals, a user can directly observe the measured signals on a time domain. The analog-to-digital converter is called ADC for short, and is a core electronic component in a digital oscilloscope. The key indexes of the analog-digital converter, such as vertical resolution, bandwidth, sampling rate, signal-to-noise ratio, effective bit number (ENOB), and the like, have decisive influence on the measurement signal and also determine the grade and price of the digital oscilloscope. Due to the limitation of the semiconductor process, it is difficult to simultaneously achieve very high sampling rate, vertical resolution, bandwidth and other key indexes on a single analog-to-digital converter chip, and an effective solution is to use a Time-interleaved (Time-interleaved) technology to achieve a higher-performance analog-to-digital converter. The time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter is also applied to high-performance oscilloscope products by numerous oscilloscope manufacturers at home and abroad.
The time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter, also called TIADC for short, is composed of a plurality of subchannels with the same resolution, which alternately sample the input signal and output the result after analog-to-digital conversion, thus achieving the purpose of increasing the sampling rate by times. Ideally, the performance of each sub-channel is identical, but in an actual manufacturing process, the acquisition and quantization results of the same signal by each sub-channel are different. The performance of the time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter is greatly affected by the misadjustment mismatch and the gain mismatch of the sub-channels, and indexes such as spurs and signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) of the time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter are negatively affected, so that the effective number of the time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter is affected, and the reduction of real signals is further affected.
For correcting various types of mismatch errors of the time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter, two modes, namely digital-analog mixed correction and pure digital domain correction, are generally adopted. The mismatch estimation and correction of pure digital domain correction are carried out in a digital domain, the method corrects data output by an analog-digital converter, but the algorithm of digital processing is complex, large hardware resources are consumed, and the hardware cost is high; the digital-analog mixed correction is generally implemented by detecting and estimating the mismatch amount in a digital domain and feeding back the mismatch amount to an analog domain for compensation, so that the correction is completed. However, in the prior art, the offset mismatch and the gain mismatch in the digital-analog hybrid correction method are usually corrected separately, so that the correction step is complicated, and the time cost of correction is increased.

Referring to FIG. 1, a time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter (TIADC) is composed of M sub-channels, each of which has a sampling rate fs/M and is provided by a clock generation circuit. The M sub-channels sample the input signal sequentially, so the total sampling rate of the time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter for the analog signal output by the VGA is fs. And after the time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter finishes analog-to-digital conversion, outputting a result after the acquisition and quantization.
In an ideal situation, the conversion accuracy of the time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter should be consistent with that of each sub-channel on the channel, but due to process limitations, on-chip errors, operating temperature conversion and other factors, output data of each sub-channel is mismatched, such as mismatch and gain mismatch. The inventors have analyzed the effects of mismatch and gain mismatch on the signals, respectively, as described in detail below.
(1) Analysis of the effect of mismatch on signal:
when the input frequency isNormalized positive signal of (1), mismatching error V existing in single subchannelOSAt this time, for a single-channel analog-to-digital converter, the acquisition quantization output is:where T is the period over which the signal is sampled.
It is assumed that the mismatch error of each subchannel of the time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter isFor M subchannels, the sequence of mismatch mismatches after time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter sampling isWith a period of MTs, i.e.Fourier transform on misadjusted mismatch sequences:
where M is the number of sub-channels of the time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter, and Ts is that of two adjacent sub-channelsDelay value of sampling clock, VOSIn order to offset the mismatch error,is the frequency of the input signal and,for the sampling angular frequency at which the signal is sampled, j is an imaginary unit (j × j = -1), k is a frequency point at which spurs occur (k = ± 1, ± 2, ± 3 …), i represents the i-th sub-ADC of the time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter (i =1,2,3 … M),representing an impulse signal.
It can be seen that the spurious frequency point of the mismatch error appears at the position of the whole frequency spectrum,
The spectral position caused by the mismatch of offsets is only related to the number of sub-channels and the sampling frequency of the system, and not to the frequency and amplitude of the input signal. Amplitude of the spur and offset voltage V of each channelOSAnd (4) correlating.
(2) Analysis of the effect of gain mismatch on the signal:
let G be the gain of each subchannel of the time-interleaved analog-to-digital converteriLet us order,
So that the mismatch gainAssuming a Fourier transform of the input signal x (t)And carrying out Fourier transform on the gain mismatch error of the output sequence of the time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter to obtain:
wherein A is the amplitude of the input signal, M is the number of sub-channels of the time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter, Ts is the delay value of the sampling clock of two adjacent sub-channels,in order to have a mismatched gain, the gain,is the frequency of the input signal and,for the sampling angular frequency at which the signal is sampled, j is an imaginary unit (j × j = -1), k is a frequency point at which spurs occur (k = ± 1, ± 2, ± 3 …), and i represents the i-th sub-ADC of the time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter (i =1,2,3 … M).
It follows that the effect of gain mismatch error on the frequency spectrum, and the amplitude of the input signal, the number of sub-channels of the time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter, the mismatch gainAnd (4) correlating. The miscellaneous diseases appear inTo (3).
For the correction of various mismatch errors of the time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter, a digital-to-analog mixed correction method is usually used, but the offset mismatch and the gain mismatch in the digital-to-analog mixed correction method are corrected separately, so that the correction step is relatively complicated, and the time cost of correction is increased. In contrast, according to the application, one of the sub-channels of the time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter is used as a reference channel, the other sub-channels are used as channels to be corrected, code word values output by the channels to be corrected are respectively subjected to linear fitting with code word values output by the reference channel, and the offset coefficient and the gain coefficient of each channel to be corrected are obtained according to linear fitting results, so that the offset coefficient and the gain coefficient can be configured at the same time to finish correction, the correction steps are greatly simplified, and the correction time is saved.

For a time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter 105 of X bit conversion precision, the range of the code words isIt is usually required that the input dc signal falls within a certain codeword range. For example, the input dc signal is selected to fall within the range of 10% to 90% of the full scale of the time-interleaved adc 105, and 10% of the full scale of the time-interleaved adc 105 is taken as the step, and for the time-interleaved adc 105 with 8-bit conversion accuracy, the full scale codeword range is 0 to 255, so that after the input dc signal is analog-to-digital converted, the codeword range output by the time-interleaved adc 105 is within about 26 to 220, and the step of the dc signal is about 26. However, the invention has no requirement on the absolute precision of the direct current signal and the stepping of the direct current signal because of the correction of the offset mismatch and the gain mismatch on the oscilloscope.

In some embodiments, the central processor 109 may control the FPGA processor 106 to assign 1/kzADC as channel to be correctedzAnd will-bzADC as channel to be correctedzThe second configuration value of (a) is stored, the FPGA processor 106 can then treat the correction channel ADCzInput codeword value is based onTo carry outOperated and output so that eachThe final codeword output of the channel to be corrected after the same signal is acquired is the same, thereby realizing the correction of the offset mismatch and the gain mismatch of the time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter 105, wherein。
Referring to FIG. 4, since the sampling rate of the time-interleaved ADC 105 is fs, the sampling rate of each sub-channel is fsIs divided by fs. Ideally, the delay value of the sampling clocks of two adjacent sub-channels is Ts, and the sampling period of the time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter 105 isEach sub-channel having a sampling period of. Due to chip technology, wiring and other reasons, the sampling time when the sampling clock signal reaches each sub-channel has a mismatch phenomenon, and the delay error between the sampling clock of the adjacent sub-ADCs and the ideal time is. The skew of the sampling clocks of the individual sub-channels also affects the performance of the time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter 105, and the inventors have analyzed this effect as follows:
with the first sub-channel as a reference, the mismatch time of each sub-channel with respect to the ideal sampling time isAssuming an input signalFourier transform ofThen the Fourier transform of the time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter 105 output sequenceComprises the following steps:
where M is the number of sub-channels of the time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter 105, Ts is the delay value of the sampling clock of two adjacent sub-channels,is the frequency of the input signal and,for the sampling angular frequency at which the signal is sampled, j is an imaginary unit (j × j = -1), k is a frequency point at which spurs occur (k = ± 1, ± 2, ± 3 …), and i represents the i-th sub-ADC of the time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter (i =1,2,3 … M).
It can be seen that the sampling instant mismatch spurs appear atThe amount of energy is related to the amplitude, frequency and sampling rate of the input signal.
After the offset mismatch and the gain mismatch are corrected, the amplitude and the offset of the signal output by each sub-channel are the same for the input of the same signal, so that the offset mismatch and the gain mismatch are corrected first, the influence caused by the offset mismatch and the gain mismatch can be eliminated first, and the correction at the sampling moment is more concentrated. The idea of the mismatch correction of the sampling time is to adjust the delay value of the sampling clock of each channel to be corrected to approach the ideal sampling time, record the calculated optimal delay value, and compensate the optimal delay value into the phase adjustment circuit of the clock generation circuit, which will be described in detail below.
