Abstract

The invention relates to a dynamic D trigger based on negative feedback improvement pseudo-static loop. The conventional dynamic D flip-flop utilizes the charge to store data information, so that the charge can be discharged through a resistor under a low-frequency clock to cause data loss. The traditional optimization is to add a small-sized inverter to charge and discharge the capacitor to keep the data stable. However, the two-stage inverter cascade forms a positive feedback register structure, and when data is changed, stronger writing capacity or longer writing time is needed. The structure provided by the invention has the advantages that through time sequence control, when data are written in, the pseudo static loop is disconnected with the main circuit, and self-discharge or self-charging is carried out in advance through negative feedback, so that the transmission delay of the data is reduced. And when the data is kept, the pseudo static loop is connected with the main road to keep the data stable. The invention ensures the stability of low-frequency data without influencing the high-frequency characteristic of the dynamic D trigger.

Description

Dynamic D trigger for improving pseudo static loop based on negative feedback
Technical Field
The invention relates to a dynamic D trigger based on negative feedback improvement pseudo-static loop.
Background
The conventional CMOS dynamic D flip-flop is different from the CMOS static D flip-flop which requires 4 inverters and 4 transmission gates, while the dynamic D flip-flop retains data by adding an input stage capacitor to store charge. However, if the data input by the next clock beat is different from the stored data, the input stage capacitor may be charged and discharged, which may cause bit errors. To solve the problem of unstable storage charge, the conventional methodThe method maintains charge through the addition of a pseudo-static loop. As shown in fig. 1, a register structure is constructed by adding a small-sized inverter and an inverter in the dynamic D flip-flop. The design of the pseudo static loop greatly improves the noise resistance of the storage node, and the storage node is forced to be locked on 0 or 1 by the positive feedback loop. In fig. 1, a first transmission gate TG1 has one end connected to the input signal D and the other end connected to the input terminals of the first charge storage capacitor C1 and the first inverter INV 1; the other end of the first charge storage capacitor C1 is grounded, the NMOS gate of the first transmission gate TG1 is connected with the first positive clock CLK, and the PMOS gate is connected with the first positive clock CLK
Figure BDA0003484141770000011
The first inverter INV1 and the input and output of the first feedback inverter SINV1 are connected end to form a register structure with positive feedback. The output end of the first inverter INV1 is connected with the input end of the second transmission gate TG2, and the output end of the second transmission gate TG2 is connected with the second charge storage capacitor C2 and the second inverter INV 2; the second charge storage capacitor is grounded from the other end of C2, and the NMOS gate of the second transmission gate TG2 is connected with the second reverse clock
Figure BDA0003484141770000012
The PMOS gate is terminated with the first positive clock CLK. The second inverter INV2 and the input and output of the second feedback inverter SINV2 are connected end to form a register structure with positive feedback. The output of the second inverter INV2 is the output Q stage of the dynamic D flip-flop.
However, the addition of a pseudo-static loop also causes corresponding problems. First, the pseudo-static loop increases the setup time of the D flip-flop, thereby increasing the delay of data transmission. The dynamic D trigger has the advantages of simple structure and time delay far smaller than that of other types of D triggers, so that the dynamic D trigger can be widely applied to digital integrated circuits of high-frequency clocks. If the pseudo-static loop design is not reasonable, the delay is increased. Secondly, the pseudo-static loop can locally form a positive feedback closed loop. The local positive feedback loop is broken when different data are written in the previous stage every time, and the charges of the storage nodes are refreshed. If the size of the pseudo-static loop is too large, different data cannot be written into the D flip-flop, thereby disabling the function of the D flip-flop.

Step 1: when the data is transmitted to the input D end of the dynamic D trigger and the first forward clock CLK is high, the second backward clock
Figure BDA0003484141770000025
At low, the first transmission gate TG1 is turned on to transmit the D-side data into the dynamic D flip-flop. The first transistor MOS1 and the second transistor MOS2 are turned off, the output stage writing only needs to charge the first charge storage capacitor C1 without breaking the closed loop positive feedback formed by the first inverter INV1 and the third inverter INV3, in the working process, the INV1 adopts a larger width-length ratio, the width-length ratio of the NMOS transistor is about 250 mu m to 0.18 mu m, the width-length ratio of the PMOS transistor is about 500 mu m to 0.18 mu m, the C1 is a parasitic capacitor, the size of the parasitic capacitor is about ten-one-hundred-femtofarads, and therefore additional layout area is not needed. At this time, the third transistor MOS3 is turned on, which is equivalent to short-circuiting the input and output of the third inverter INV3 in principle, and a self-discharging or self-charging negative feedback structure is formed, so that the voltage value of the input and output of the third inverter INV3 is stabilized at half of the power supply voltage, and the voltage signal is transmitted as indicated by the arrow marked with "-" in fig. 2.
Step 2: when the first forward clock CLK is low, the second backward clockClock
Figure BDA0003484141770000031
At a high level, the first transfer gate TG1 is turned off, the first transistor MOS1 and the second transistor MOS2 are turned on, and the third transistor MOS3 is turned off. At this time, the closed loop negative feedback of the third transistor MOS3 is terminated, and the input and output of the third inverter INV3 are shorted with the output and input of the first inverter INV1, forming a register structure of closed loop positive feedback, thereby stabilizing the charge of the first charge storage capacitor C1. The voltage signal is passed as indicated by the "+" arrows labeled in fig. 2. At this stage, when the written data has a jump, the first inverter INV1 only needs to pull up the input terminal of the third inverter INV3 from half the power voltage to the power supply or to the ground, instead of pulling down from the power supply to the ground or from the ground to the power supply, thereby reducing half the charging and discharging time and reducing the delay of data transmission.
And step 3: when the first forward clock CLK is low, the second backward clock

At high level, the second transmission gate TG2 is turned on, and the signal transmitted to the second transmission gate TG2 is turned on. At this time, the sixth transistor MOS6 is turned on, and the input and output of the fourth inverter INV4 are shorted, so that a self-discharge or self-charge negative feedback structure is formed, and the voltage value of the input and output of the fourth inverter INV4 is stabilized at half of the power supply voltage, thereby reducing the stress of writing data by self-charging or self-discharging.
And 4, step 4: when the first forward clock CLK is high, the second backward clock

When the voltage is low, the second transmission gate TG2 is turned off, and data is transmitted to the output Q of the dynamic D flip-flop. The fourth transistor MOS4 and the fifth transistor MOS5 are turned on, and the sixth transistor MOS6 is turned off. At this time, the closed loop negative feedback of the sixth transistor MOS6 is terminated, and the input and output of the fourth inverter INV4 are shorted with the output and input of the second inverter INV2 to form a register structure of closed loop positive feedback, therebyThe charge of the second charge storage capacitor C2 is stabilized. The voltage signal is passed as indicated by the "+" arrows labeled in fig. 2. At this stage, when the written data has a jump, the second inverter INV2 only needs to pull the input terminal of the fourth inverter INV4 from half the power voltage to the power voltage or from ground to 0 potential, instead of from the power voltage to ground or from ground to the power voltage, which reduces half the charging and discharging time and thus reduces the delay of data transmission.
Advantageous effects
The invention provides a dynamic D trigger structure based on time sequence control and negative feedback control, which is essentially characterized in that a pseudo static loop is greatly optimized, the function of the pseudo static loop is ensured, and the problems of time delay and data writing of the pseudo static loop are solved. Compared with the conventional dynamic D flip-flop, the following advantageous effects are provided.
1. The improved pseudo-static loop is based on time sequence control, and on the basis of guaranteeing data stability, the register structure in a positive feedback loop is avoided from being encountered when data is written in principle. In the conventional D flip-flop structure, in order to ensure data stability, a small-sized inverter is added to form a pseudo-static loop. However, the register structure formed by the end-to-end connection of the two inverters will add difficulty to the writing of data because the input load is no longer a pure capacitor, and a resistor is also included, thereby increasing the requirement on the load capacity of the previous stage and increasing the corresponding delay. According to the invention, the connection between the pseudo static circuit and the main circuit is disconnected in the data writing stage through the control of the time sequence switch, so that the requirement on writing capability is reduced, and the high-speed advantage of the dynamic D trigger is ensured.
2. The improved pseudo-static loop is based on negative feedback control, further reducing the write capability requirements. The first transistor MOS1 is taken as an example and is abbreviated as MOS 1. Physically, the MOS tube constitutes a switch, and the equivalent resistance of the MOS tube is controlled by the grid voltage. When the written data changes, for example, from "0" to "1", the MOS1 with the low gate voltage is in the high impedance state, thereby disconnecting the input of the INV1 and the output of the INV 3. But in practice there is still a slight current through the MOS 1. But through the negative feedback junction of the MOS3Accordingly, the output terminal of the INV3 rapidly changes to half the power supply voltage, and the current passing therethrough can be described by the following equations (1) and (2). RoffThe equivalent resistance when MOS1 is turned off is i, the current flowing through MOS1 is controlled without adding negative feedback, i' is the current flowing through MOS1 with adding negative feedback, and VDD is the power supply voltage.
Figure BDA0003484141770000041
Figure BDA0003484141770000042
As is known from equation (1) and equation (2), in principle, the negative feedback control can increase the equivalent resistance of the MOS1 by two times when it is turned off. Thereby further reducing the requirements on write capability.
3. The improved pseudo-static loop is based on negative feedback control, and reduces the delay of data transmission. The second transmission gate TG2 is taken as an example, and abbreviated as TG 2. When the TG2 is turned on, data is output from the first inverter INV1 to the Q terminal through the second inverter INV 2. The main delay is reflected in the time to charge and discharge the capacitance across TG 2. For the second charge storage capacitor C2, keeping strong "1" and strong "0" means keeping the data stable, while the parasitic capacitance at the input of the third inverter INV3 introduces unnecessary delay. In the previous clock cycle when TG2 was on, the negative feedback loop keeps the input and output terminals of the third inverter INV3 at half the supply voltage. When the TG2 is turned on, which is also the second transistor MOS2 is turned on, taking the data change from "0" to "1" at the TG2 as an example, the first inverter INV1 does not need to charge the fan-in capacitance of the third inverter INV3 from 0 to VDD, but from
Figure BDA0003484141770000051
Charging to VDD reduces the charging time by half, thereby reducing the latency of data transfer.
4. The improved pseudo-static loop is based on time sequence control and negative feedback control, and reduces the size requirement on the pseudo-static loop, thereby reducing the design difficulty. In fig. 1, the size selection of the first feedback inverter SINV1 and the second feedback inverter SINV2 is a dilemma, and if the size selection of the feedback inverters is too large, a register structure with strong positive feedback is formed, and it is difficult for the outside to change the state of the register structure. If the size of the feedback inverter is too small, the charge of the charge storage capacitor is unstable, thereby reducing the stability of data. Based on the architecture in fig. 2, there are two operation states for the first inverter INV1, one is a data write state, where the first transistor MOS1 and the second transistor MOS2 are not conductive, and the INV3 is in a negative feedback state, which reduces the requirement of write capability and the delay of data transmission. The second is a data holding state, at this time, the first transistor MOS1 and the second transistor MOS2 are turned on, and the first inverter INV1 and the third inverter INV3 form a register structure with positive feedback, so that stability of data is maintained. For a designer, the first inverter INV1 and the third inverter INV3 include other transistors, and may have the same size to ensure matching of layout layouts; the size can also be designed flexibly to meet the requirements of different application scenes.

A high-frequency 5GHz clock signal is input, and a frequency-halving signal of 2.5GHz is output. Fig. 8 shows a clock signal of 0.5Hz as input and a halved frequency signal of 0.25Hz as output. The first transistor MOS1, the second transistor MOS2, the third transistor MOS3, the fourth transistor MOS4, the fifth transistor MOS5, the sixth transistor MO6, the third inverter INV3 and the fourth inverter INV4 in fig. 2 are removed, that is, the pseudo-static circuit is removed, and the dynamic D flip-flop is returned to the conventional dynamic D flip-flop, and is packaged and applied in the divide-by-two frequency divider shown in fig. 4, so that the waveform shown in fig. 9 is obtained, the clock signal of 0.5Hz is input, but an error waveform is output. This means that in the low frequency case, the conventional dynamic D flip-flop loses the trigger function due to the loss of the stored charge, which results in the loss of data. As can be seen from fig. 8 and 9, the low frequency characteristic of the dynamic D flip-flop of the present invention can be significantly improved, and the dynamic D flip-flop has a wider frequency application range.
