Each unit in the current source matrix is made of elementary current source Iu and a plurality of correcting currents source Iec, and the correcting current source is connected the back with correcting switch in parallel with the elementary current source.
Operation principle is: electrification reset, the elementary current source of each unit and correcting current source disconnect in the current source matrix, introduce each elementary current source in the oscillator one by one, in the identical time period that reference clock signal indicates, the pulse that oscillator sends is counted, and the result is stored in memory and the logical operation module.
Find out the maximum count result of memory and logical operation module stored.
With the count results of unit 1 in maximum data and the matrix relatively,, then utilize the address bus decoder to open register if data are identical, with complete 0 storage on the registers group of appropriate address; If the count results of unit 1 is littler than maximum data, then many bit adder are added 1, correcting current unit in the Control current source matrix unit 1, the single-bit correction electric current of wherein minimal weight is in parallel with the elementary current source, Test Switchboard 1 is opened, electric current is imported oscillator, in the time period that reference clock signal indicates, recomputate the number of the pulse that oscillator sends.

Current-source matching error=1/16384 of the long decision in position of adder 1
The stability of reference clock signal and the relation of matching precision are shown in Figure 12 table.
The relation of the type of oscillator and Current-source matching precision is discussed in the back.
Intersegmental as shown in Figure 4 current source matrix consistency is from the dynamic(al) correction schematic diagram, annexation is: the output current of a unit of current source matrix 1 connects Test Switchboard, one end of Test Switchboard connects into electric current the switch matrix of operate as normal, an other end is got involved oscillator with electric current, the output of oscillator connects adder and adder is output as the input of memory and logical operation, the output of memory and logical operation is connected register and many bit adder, and the final output of many bit adder is stored in the register and intermediate data directly is connected with current source matrix.Under normal mode of operation, the correcting current of each unit in the Data Control current source matrix in the register, being input as reference clock signal of adder 2 and be output as the input of memory and logical operation.
Setover as the current source of segmentation N1 matrix behind unit current source I1_D process K:1 in the segmentation 1 and twice current mirror of N:1.Unit in the matrix of correcting current source is connected with switch successively, is connected with the biasing of K:1 image electric current after the end parallel connection of switch, is connected with the biasing of N:1 image electric current after the other end parallel connection.

The result of twice counting relatively, check data DS1 whether be DSN1 K*N doubly.For example, the matrix of N1 segmentation is 5 bits, 32 matrixes, then K*N=32.If DS1 is K*N times of DSN1, then data " 0 " are stored on the appropriate address of register; Otherwise, according to following step adjustment.
If DS1 is greater than K*N DSN1 doubly, the current source matrix cell current that segmentation 1 is described is bigger than what expect, then many bit adder are added 1, make the electric current of a unit in the matrix of correcting current source enter the K:1 mirror image, then the correction after-current source of a unit in the segmentation N1 current source matrix is introduced in the oscillator, in the identical time period that reference clock signal indicates, the pulse that oscillator sends is counted, DSN1 is stored in memory and the logical operation module as a result.If DS1 is less than K*N DSN1 doubly, the current source matrix cell current that segmentation 1 is described is littler than what expect, then many bit adder are subtracted 1, make the electric current of a unit in the matrix of correcting current source enter the N:1 mirror image, then the correction after-current source of a unit in the segmentation N1 current source matrix is introduced in the oscillator, in the identical time period that reference clock signal indicates, the pulse that oscillator sends is counted, DSN1 is stored in memory and the logical operation module as a result.
Check once more data DS1 whether be DSN1 K*N doubly.If DS1 be DSN1 K*N doubly, then will this moment the storage of adder on the appropriate address of register: otherwise, continue to adjust according to above-mentioned steps until meeting the demands.
Above-mentioned current source correction matrix also can adopt the heavy structure of mixing of current source and electric current, and like this, adjustment can all concentrate on K:1 current mirror branch road or N:1 mirror image branch.
Be illustrated in figure 5 as the saw-toothed oscillator schematic diagram that frequency is directly proportional with size of current.Annexation is: current source I1 is through after the switch SW 1, electric current is inserted direct current node or electric capacity respectively, voltage on the electric capacity inserts back the positive input terminal of comparator between the dead zone and the negative input end of comparator connects reference voltage, the output of comparator through two inverters after, respectively output pulse waveform OUTB and OUT, switch SW 1 is subjected to OUTB and OUT control and switch SW 2 is controlled by OUT.
Operation principle is: behind the electrification reset, the voltage on the electric capacity is " 0 ", at this moment, OUTB=1 and OUT=0, switch SW 1 inserts electric capacity to the electric capacity charging and switch SW 2 disconnects with current source I1; Cross back the upper threshold value of comparator between the dead zone when voltage on the electric capacity after, the comparator output switching activity, OUTB=0 and OUT=1, at this moment, switch SW 1 disconnects and switch SW 2 conductings, and electric capacity begins discharge, after voltage on the electric capacity is crossed back lower limit between the dead zone, comparator upset, OUTB=1 and OUT=0, thus begin a new charge cycle.
Waveform on the electric capacity such as Fig. 5 b are depicted as sawtooth waveforms and OUT is an impulse waveform.According to C*dV/dt=I, Tch=C*dV/I, and Tdis is relevant with other factors, as the speed of device, the size of electric capacity etc.
Under following two kinds of situations, do not consider the influence of Tdis:
Tdis is infinitely close to 0
In any twice counting, the influence of Tdis is identical.
In actual applications, 2 all can't be satisfied more than.
Setting the Tdis minimum is 100ns, and the maximum matching error in any twice counting is 10%, and comparator returns and is 1V between the dead zone, and the charging current size is 80uA, and the precision prescribed of DAC is 14 bits.
The unmatched influence of discharging is:
Tdis*10%/(Tdis+Tch)<1/(2*16384)
Tdis<<Tch
Then, Tdis*10%/Tch<1/ (2*16384)
Tch>32768*10ns=0.33ms
And Tch=C*dV/I
C=Tch*I/dV=0.33ms*80uA/1V=0.33nF
Electric capacity is too big, can't finish zero offset capability at chip internal.The method that reduces capacitance size is:
(1) improves the matching degree of discharge time in twice counting
(2) increase between time dead zone of comparator
(3) size of reduction current source current
Preceding two kinds of methods are subjected to the restriction of conditions such as technology, power supply, and the third method is desirable.The prerequisite that reduces the current source current size is: only in the size of test and calibration phase reduction electric current, recover original size of current when operate as normal; Little electric current is linear with big electric current, can expand to current state pro rata to the correction of little electric current.
Be illustrated in figure 6 as big current source matrix bias structure schematic diagram.Annexation is: transistor M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, the source electrode of M8 connects power supply, M1, M2, the grid of M3 is connected with node Iin1 with the drain electrode of M1, M5, M6, the grid of M7 is connected with node Iin2 with the drain electrode of M5, M4, M8 respectively with switch SW 1, SW2, connect, M9, M10, M11, M12, the grid of M13 is connected with the drain electrode of the drain electrode of M9 and M7, M14, M15, M16, M17, the grid of M18 is connected with the drain electrode of the drain electrode of M14 and M6, the drain electrode of M4, grid and switch SW 3 connect and compose the biasing of current source matrix, the drain electrode of M8, grid and switch SW 4 connect and compose the another one biasing of current source matrix, M10, the drain electrode of M11 is connected and M12 with switch SW 1, the drain electrode of M13 with manage SW2 and be connected M9, M14, M15, M16, M17, the source ground of M18.
Operation principle is: the breadth length ratio of transistor M9, M10, M11, M12, M13 is K: K: 1: K: 1, and transistor M14, nurse 15, M16, M17, M18 breadth length ratio are K; K: 1: K: 1, under the normal operating conditions, switch imports M4 and M8 with the electric current of M10, M12 through switch SW 1, SW2, then electric current keeps the numerical value same with electric current I in1, Iin2 substantially, under test mode, switch imports M4, M8 with the electric current of M11, M13, and then this moment, electric current will be 1/K under the normal condition.
Set K=32, then as above-mentioned, the electric capacity that needs is 330/32=10pf.
Because the circuit of introducing can cause extra error, therefore when using big current offset, precision can reduce.
Below discuss another pierce circuit that improves precision
Be depicted as the triangular-wave generator that frequency is directly proportional with electric current as Fig. 7 a, annexation is: current source I1 is through after the switch SW 1, electric current is inserted switch SW 2 and electric capacity respectively, voltage on the electric capacity inserts back the positive input terminal of comparator between the dead zone and the negative input end of comparator connects reference voltage, the output of comparator through two inverters after, difference output pulse waveform OUTB and OUT, switch SW 1, SW2, SW3 are controlled by OUTB and OUT, current source I2 handles through entering image electric current M:1 after the switch SW 2, passes through switch SW 3 then as the capacitance discharges electric current.
Operation principle is: behind the electrification reset, the voltage on the electric capacity is " 0 ", at this moment, OUTB=1 and OUT=0, switch SW 1 inserts electric capacity to the electric capacity charging and switch SW 2 imports the M:1 mirror images with electric current I 2 with current source I1, imports power supplys through switch SW 3 then; Cross back the upper threshold value of comparator between the dead zone when voltage on the electric capacity after, the comparator output switching activity, OUTB=0 and OUT=1, at this moment, switch SW 1 inserts switch SW 2 with electric current I 1, switch SW 2 inserts electric current I 2 GND and electric current I 1 is inserted mirror image M:1, give capacitor discharge through switch SW 3, after voltage on the electric capacity was crossed back lower limit between the dead zone, comparator overturn, OUTB=1 and OUT=0, thus a new charge cycle begun.
In above circuit, electric current I 2 is close to I1 and equates, its effect is to provide a working point to improve the speed of current switching to image current M:1.
By preceding described, charging current is I1 and discharging current is I1/M.
Charging interval Tch=C*dV/I1
Discharge time Tdis=C*dV*M/I1
Oscillator frequency=1/ (Tch+Tdis)=I1/ (C*dV* (1+M))
Wherein, dV is the voltage between the dead zone that returns of comparator, and M is a fixed coefficient of image electric current, therefore, adopt the detection of the error that this kind oscillator will be and proofread and correct more accurate.The main source of error of triangular wave oscillator bearing calibration is led the flex point of trailing edge and the trailing edge flex point to rising edge in rising edge.As shown in figure 11, the factor of this error is: the FEEDTHROUGH effect of the logic control signal in the switch, the time difference of charging current and discharging current conversion etc.Owing to a plurality of identical current sources are adopted a same error-detecting module, therefore,, can obtain high-precision correction as long as keep mating in the variation of flex point at any two different current sources.
The time period of setting flex point is 10ns, matching error during at different current source is 0.1%, then at the digital to analog converter of 14 bit accuracy, the rising edge time that needs is: voltage is 1V to 10*0.1%*16384=164ns. between the dead zone when comparator returns, when current source current was 80uA, capacitance size was C=I*dt/dV=80uA*164ns/1V=13pF.
Below with the circuit structure of unit in the example explanation current source matrix.Current source matrix element circuit schematic diagram as shown in Figure 8, annexation is: the source electrode of transistor M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M7 connects power supply, their grid is connected with node Vbias1P biasing, the drain electrode of M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M7 respectively with correcting switch SWec[1:7] an end be connected, correcting switch SWec[1:7] end output be connected with the leakage agent of M1 and the source electrode of M8, the grid of M8 is connected with node bias VbiasP2, correcting switch SWec[1:7] other end output earth connection.The switch matrix unit of the drain electrode of M8 during with operate as normal is connected, and the end output of switch meets node IoutP, and other end output meets node IoutN, correcting switch SWec[1:7] state controlled by the related data in the register.
Electric current among the transistor M1 is the elementary current of unit in the current source matrix, M[2:7] in electric current be correcting current.When the corresponding data in the register when being effective, then Xiang Guan correcting switch adds the correcting current of correspondence the source electrode of M8 to and makes that the output current of correlation unit increases in the current source matrix.
The number in correcting current source precision and factor such as the kind in correcting current source and difference as required.The correcting current source can be that the essentially identical current source of a plurality of size of current constitutes, also can be that size of current becomes the current source of 2 systems substantially and constitutes: if the matching precision that technology is guaranteed is 1%, then the size of current in correcting current source can be respectively: I/64, I/128, I/256..., wherein, I is the size of elementary current in the current source matrix.
Below discuss the high consistency structure of decoding circuit.
