Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, a schematic circuit structure diagram of a bidirectional correction technique for precision of an operational amplifier circuit according to the present invention includes a first variable resistor, a second variable resistor, a first current source, a second current source, an input terminal 1, a first limiting resistor, a second limiting resistor, a constant current source, and an input terminal 2.
Specifically, the circuit resists implementation: the variable resistor changes the resistance value through a trimming technology and corrects the current value of one path of the input terminal, and the input variable resistor mainly changes the resistance value of the variable resistor through the trimming technology and corrects the current value of one path of the input terminal. The current source is a current derived from the power supply source and modified by the variable resistor, and the current source is a current derived from the power supply source and modified by the variable resistor.
The first limiting resistor and the second limiting resistor are arranged for overcoming the base width modulation effect or the channel length modulation effect of the input terminal from the practical application of the operational amplifier, and are used for controlling the working conditions of the input terminal 1 and the input terminal 2 to be consistent as much as possible.
The constant current source is used for controlling the constancy of the overall current of the operational amplifier, so that the current values of the input terminal 1 and the input terminal 2 can be flexibly controlled on the premise that two paths of total currents are constant by correcting the first variable resistor and the second variable resistor.
In particular, the patent of my company has been applied to the precise control of the input threshold voltage of the earth leakage protector. Referring to fig. 3, specifically, the diode is used for reducing the voltage at the input terminal 2, and the port of the input terminal 1 is modified in a sequentially increasing manner by 10uA, 20uA, 40uA and 80uA, and the port of the input terminal 2 is modified in advance by 200uA, so that the wafer-level test yield of 99.9% of different wafers is achieved.
Referring to fig. 4, the variable resistor is formed by connecting n +1 sets of resistor sequences in series, wherein the resistor sequences are decreased or increased once, and the resistor sequences can be respectively connected to pins, and a diode or a trimming metal wire is connected in series between two adjacent pins to form the whole trimming circuit. When the series diode is not broken down and short-circuited, the resistor is in a use state initially without trimming, and if the current of the current needs to be increased, the breakdown short circuit of the diode can be realized by sequentially enabling the current between two adjacent off pins to be as 6V voltage and 2.5A current, so that the adjustable resistor connected in parallel with the diode is short-circuited, and the purpose of increasing the current is achieved, for example, the current can be sequentially increased from 1uA,2uA,4uA and 8uA … ….
The variable resistor is formed by connecting n +1 groups of once decreasing or increasing resistor sequences in series, pins can be connected with the variable resistor in parallel, and a trimming metal wire is connected between two adjacent pins in series to form the whole trimming circuit. When the trimming resistance wire is not fused, and is not initially trimmed, the resistor is in a short-circuit state, if the current of the circuit needs to be reduced, the metal wire can be fused by sequentially electrifying the adjacent two pins for 1-10ms, such as 1-2.5A current, so that the purpose of reducing the current is achieved by using the adjustable resistor with the parallel diodes, and the current can be sequentially reduced from nuA,1/2nA …, for example.
The variable resistor sequence can be in a short circuit state through a metal wire without any pin, and the passivation layer window at the position is opened, so that the variable resistor cloud is in a short circuit state, if the variable resistor with any gear is needed, the sequence can be realized through a laser trimming technology, and the metal wires at two ends of the resistor are fused, for example, the current can be sequentially decreased from nuA and 1/2uA ….
It should be noted that, referring to fig. 5, the present invention is not limited to the same trimming method of, for example, a diode, such as a metal fuse, and can also implement a bidirectional trimming technique by different trimming methods at one end of the input terminal 1 or one end of the input terminal 2. For example, in the adjustable resistance sequence of one path of the input terminal 1, the terminals T1 to Tn are connected through diodes, and the resistance between the adjacent pins T1 to Tn is in an open circuit state, and meanwhile, the terminals Tn and Tn +1 are connected through metal fuses, and the resistance between the terminals Tn and Tn +1 is in a short circuit state, so that the adjustment can be realized in both the upper direction and the lower direction through different adjustment modes. Which is within the scope of protection of this patent.
Referring to fig. 6, the present invention is not limited to the same trimming method of, for example, a diode, such as a metal fuse, but can also realize a bidirectional trimming technique by different trimming methods at one end of the input terminal 1 or one end of the input terminal 2. For example, in the adjustable resistance sequence of one path of the input terminal 1, T1 to Tn are connected through a metal fuse, and the resistance between adjacent pins T1 to Tn is in a short-circuit state, and at the same time, Tn and Tn +1 are connected through a diode, and the resistance between pins Tn and Tn +1 is in an open-circuit state, so that the adjustment can be realized in both the upper and lower directions through different adjustment modes. Which is within the scope of protection of this patent.
