Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuits, in particular to a noise model circuit of an ADC system based on a time interleaving assembly line.
Background
Noise is the most dominant factor affecting high-speed and high-precision ADCs, and research into power consumption and the presence of noise required by circuits has begun from the advent of integrated circuits. As the feature sizes of devices enter deep submicron, the impact of noise in CMOS circuits, particularly digital-to-analog hybrid circuits, on circuit performance becomes more and more pronounced, and noise problems have begun to rise to another bottleneck problem. The study of the low noise problem of the digital-analog hybrid circuit involves three parts, a noise source, a coupling medium and a receiving part (a circuit sensitive to noise, etc.). Therefore, the noise reduction approach is to try to remove, reduce or convert any one or more of the three above, where the noise source is the inherent noise of the device and the interference noise is composed of thermal noise and 1/f noise, and the inherent noise of the CMOS device mainly includes thermal noise and 1/f noise, while the interference noise in the circuit has more sources, and the crosstalk noise of the signal, the substrate coupling noise, the voltage drop of the power supply, the ground bounce noise, and the charge distribution effect, i.e. the charge sharing noise, all affect the performance of the digital-analog hybrid circuit.
Noise sensitive circuits are referred to in the digital-to-analog hybrid circuit mainly as analog circuit parts. With the rapid development of CMOS very large scale integrated circuit fabrication technology, modern communications are continuously increasing the signal frequency and accuracy requirements. ADCs using clock-alternating and SAR structures no longer meet design requirements in terms of accuracy performance. The superposition requirement of a Pipeline (Pipeline) structure and a clock alternation technology becomes urgent, and a designer combines the pipeline+clock alternation structure or other novel structures such as a composite structure and clock alternation, so that the selection of the high-speed and high-precision ADC design becomes diversified. The research direction of the current high-speed high-precision ADC is that the resolution is more than 10 bits, and the sampling rate is of the order of GHz. The high-speed high-precision ADC has wide application range, in particular to a high-performance ADC design technology, and the high-precision design technology is required for coping with pulse signals. In response to agile signals, ADCs require development of high-speed sampling techniques. Therefore, the most critical problem in developing a high-speed ADC is to establish an accurate noise model, so that the noise model can effectively serve the design work of the ADC, and the dynamic performance of the ADC can be accurately estimated at the beginning of engineering.
In the prior art, the high-speed ADC has various structures, noise has randomness, the amplitude of the noise can not be predicted, the average power of the noise can only be predicted to represent the noise, the noise analysis is simplified by using an auxiliary theorem, and the corresponding noise is mathematically modeled. In complex ADC systems, it is difficult to try to abstract out the model of the noise and the noise sources are very large.

The pipelined ADC is shown in FIG. 3, where the pre-sample hold circuit SHA inputs the analog signal V at the sampling clock in Sampling is carried out, and when a clock phase is to be maintained, a discretized signal is output to the first-Stage circuit Stage1. Meanwhile, the Stage1 circuit in the sampling clock phase samples the output result of the pre-sampling hold circuit SHA in the holding clock phase, the sub-ADC of the Stage converts the input signal to obtain the D1-bit coarse quantization result of the Stage1 circuit of the first Stage, the D1 is used for carrying out digital input of the sub-DAC of the Stage in the holding clock phase, the subtracting circuit realizes subtraction of the input signal of the Stage and the output of the sub-DAC, and the obtained difference value is the same as the working principle of the Stage2-Stage of the gain amplifier Stage.
As shown in fig. 4, the pipeline conversion structure of each stage includes a sub-MDAC and a sub-ADC, and the present invention takes noise from the sampling circuit and the operational amplifier into consideration. In the sampling circuit, the sampling circuit can be equivalent to a switched capacitor circuit, and comprises a sampling capacitor Cs1, a feedback capacitor Cf1 and an operational amplifier OTA, because of the influence of on-resistance of a switch, thermal noise voltages can exist on the sampling capacitor and the feedback capacitor, and the equivalent noise source voltages accumulated on the sampling capacitor are obtained according to a transistor noise model working in a linear region and an uncorrelated noise superposition principle:

Similarly, the integral noise on the feedback capacitance is:
according to the uncorrelated noise superposition principle, the equivalent noise of the sample hold circuit is:

Because the actual circuit is a differential input, according to the uncorrelated noise superposition principle, the total thermal noise of the first-stage circuit is 2 times of that of the single-ended thermal noise, so the thermal noise of the first-stage circuit can be known by the following formula:
(12);
according to the deduction of the thermal noise and corresponding parameters, the equivalent noise voltage of the first stage circuit can be obtained as follows:

the root mean square effective value is 95.9uV.rmsThe integral noise of the ADC is obtained 287.7 by theoretical derivationuV.rms。The simulation result shown in FIG. 5 is single-ended equivalent noise, so the equivalent noise of the first stage circuit of the fully differential structure is 84.42uV.rmsThe actual noise of the ADC was 253.26uV.rms。
The noise model of the isolation amplifier is shown in fig. 6, and includes a resistor R1, a resistor R2, a resistor R3, a resistor R4, and an operational amplifier, and the bandwidth is calculated as follows.

(18);
(19);
In the method, in the process of the invention,f c_system for the cut-off frequency of the filter,K n is a coefficient of a second order filter.
In the calculation of feedback network noise, two resistors (R1, R2) are equivalent to a feedback resistor network by being connected in parallel, and then the thermal noise is calculated using the resistor, boltzmann constant, and kelvin temperature.
(20)
(21);
In the method, in the process of the invention,kis a boltzmann constant,R eq in order to be an equivalent resistance,E nReq the noise spectrum density which is the equivalent resistance,T k is Kelvin temperature;

Simulation results of the isolation amplifier noise model are shown in fig. 7. Noise simulation requires that the amplifier be in a linear operating region to ensure correct results. The simulated noise spectral density and the integrated noise curve are seen on the right after simulation. The end of the total noise curve tends to flatten out, with a final convergence value of 174.83uV.rms. The total noise of the isolation amplifier was calculated to be 196.7uV.rms. The difference between these two numbers is because the simulation considers all nodes in the circuit more accurately.
Reference circuit noise model as shown in fig. 8, this model provides a voltage reference standard for the analog-to-digital converter quantization process.NBit ofADCDividing the reference voltage into 2 at the time of quantization N And quantifying the measured signal voltage.
Reference voltage noise is an additive process to noise generated by quantization. For input, when the voltage value of the input signal is higher, the total noise andADCthe direct current input voltage is proportional, and the reference voltage has a larger influence on the quantization process. Because ofV in /V REF The ratio increases so that when the ADC uses full scale input, its noise dominates the overall system noise. When the input voltage reaches the measurement fullness, the influence of the reference voltage source noise on the quantization process is maximized, but as long as it is still much smaller than 1/2LSBThe noise calculation is negligible and the simulation results are shown in fig. 9.
