Detailed Description
At present, a circuit composition structure of a bias circuit is shown in fig. 1, wherein RFin is an alternating current (radio frequency) input signal; RFout is the power of the output; ccomple is a signal coupling capacitance; vbat is the power supply; mref1, Mref2 are offset reference tubes; mmir is a direct current output pipe; mcas is a cascode transistor; l is a load inductance; itrim is a reference direct current source; rtrim is the tuning resistance.
The operating principle of the bias circuit shown in fig. 1 is as follows: under the action of bias direct current provided by a bias circuit, amplifying alternating current input signals RFin by different amplification factors to obtain different output powers RFout; the input reference direct current Iref of the bias circuit is amplified through Mref2 and Mmir to obtain bias direct current; bias voltages are generated by Itrim, Rtrim, Mref1, Mref2 to Mcas to meet the bias requirements of the power amplifier. The specific working process comprises the following steps: when the resistance value of the Rtrim adjusting resistor is zero, since Mref2 is connected with the gate of the mm, and the drain-side direct-current voltages of Mref2 and mm are equal, the ratio of the direct current flowing through Mref2 to the direct current flowing through mm is equal to the ratio of the size (channel width) of Mref2 to the size (channel width) of mm, so that under the condition that the ratio is fixed, the amplified bias direct current can be output on mm by adjusting the size of the Itrim reference direct-current source; but has the following drawbacks: when the resistance value of the Rtrim adjusting resistor is not zero, the drain dc voltages of Mref2 and mrir are not equal because the drain dc voltage of mrir is equal to the gate dc voltage of Mref2 plus the voltage drop of Rtrim minus the gate-source dc voltage of Mcas, and the drain dc voltage of Mref2 is equal to the gate dc voltage of Mref2, so that the ratio of the dc current flowing through Mref2 to the dc current flowing through mrir is not equal to the ratio of the dimension (channel width) of Mref2 to the dimension (channel width) of mrir, resulting in poor dc control accuracy.
The cascode transistor Mcas in the bias circuit shown in fig. 1 shields the influence of the power supply Vbat on the bias dc current, and according to the requirement of the output power level, the voltage on the gate of the cascode transistor Mcas is adjusted by Itrim and Rtrim, and the input reference dc current of the bias circuit is amplified by Mref2 and mm, so as to meet the bias requirement of the power amplifier.
However, the bias circuit shown in fig. 1 has the following disadvantages: firstly, when the resistance value of the adjusting resistor Rtrim is not equal to zero, the direct current voltages at the drain ends of Mref2 and Mmir are mismatched, and the direct current flowing through Mmir is not proportional to the direct current flowing through Mref2, so that the control accuracy of the direct current is poor; secondly, the direct current (bias direct current) flowing through Mmir and the adjusting direct current (Itrim) are mutually coupled, so that the debugging is inconvenient; thirdly, the process deviation and the temperature drift of Mref1, Mref2, Mcas, Mmir and Rtrim make the drain terminal direct current voltages of Mref2 and Mmir unable to follow each other, so that the power and the linearity of the output of the bias circuit drift.
The bias circuit shown in fig. 2 is produced based on the defects of the bias circuit shown in fig. 1. As shown in FIG. 2, RFin is the alternating current (radio frequency) input signal; RFout is the power of the output; ccomple is a signal coupling capacitance; vbat is the power supply; mref2 is an offset reference tube; mmir is a direct current output pipe; mcas is a cascode transistor; l is a load inductance; itrim is the regulated dc current source; rtrim is the tuning resistance; iref is a reference dc current source.
The operating principle of the bias circuit shown in fig. 2 is as follows: under the action of bias direct current provided by a bias circuit, amplifying alternating current input signals RFin by different amplification factors to obtain different output powers RFout; the input reference direct current Iref of the bias circuit is amplified through Mref2 and Mmir to obtain bias direct current; and generating a bias voltage to the Mcas through the Rtrim and the Itrim so as to meet the bias requirement of the power amplifier. The specific working process is as follows: when adjusting Itrim or Rtrim to make the drain voltages of Mref2 and Mmir equal, since the gate dc potentials of Mref2 and Mmir are equal, the ratio of the dc current flowing through Mref2 to the dc current flowing through Mmir is equal to the ratio of the size (channel width) of Mref2 to the size (channel width) of Mmir; however, when Rtrim or Itrim changes, the drain dc voltage of mm is caused to change, which causes the drain dc voltage of Mref2 not to be equal to that of mm, and therefore, the ratio of the dc current flowing through Mref2 to the dc current flowing through mm is not equal to the ratio of the size of Mref2 to the size of mm, which causes poor control accuracy of the dc current.
The advantages of the bias circuit shown in fig. 2 over the bias dc circuit shown in fig. 1 are: the adjustment direct current source Itrim and the reference direct current source Iref are separated from each other, so that the debugging is more convenient.
The bias circuit shown in fig. 2 still has the following disadvantages: the direct current voltage at the drain ends of the first current collector, the Mref2 and the Mmir is mismatched, and the direct current control accuracy is poor; secondly, the process deviation and temperature drift of Mref1, Mref2, Mcas, Mmir, Rtrim affect the drain terminal dc voltage of Mref2, Mmir, so that the power and linearity of the bias circuit output drift.
Based on this, in various embodiments of the present invention: comparing the first direct current voltage with the second direct current voltage to obtain a comparison result; the first direct current voltage is the drain end direct current voltage of a first transistor of the bias circuit; the second direct current voltage is the direct current voltage of the drain terminal of a second transistor of the bias circuit; adjusting the first direct current voltage and the second direct current voltage by using the comparison result, so that the drain end direct current voltage of the first transistor is the same as the drain end direct current voltage of the second transistor in the operation of the biasing circuit; the grid electrode of the first transistor is connected with the grid electrode of the second transistor through a resistor for attenuating alternating current signals; the first transistor and the second transistor are used for amplifying an input reference direct current of the bias circuit to obtain a bias direct current, and the second transistor obtains a target output signal based on an input signal of the bias circuit by using the bias direct current.

the detection circuit 31 is configured to compare the first dc voltage with the second dc voltage to obtain a comparison result; the first direct current voltage is the drain end direct current voltage of the first transistor; the second direct current voltage is the direct current voltage of the drain terminal of the second transistor;
the adjusting circuit 32 is configured to adjust the first dc voltage and the second dc voltage according to the comparison result, so that the drain dc voltage of the first transistor is the same as the drain dc voltage of the second transistor during the operation of the bias circuit.
The grid electrode of the first transistor is connected with the grid electrode of the second transistor through a resistor for attenuating alternating current signals; the first transistor and the second transistor are used for amplifying an input reference direct current of the bias circuit to obtain a bias direct current, and the second transistor obtains a target output signal based on an input signal of the bias circuit by using the bias direct current.
In practical application, the input signal of the bias circuit can be a radio frequency input signal, the target output signal of the bias circuit can be radio frequency output signals with different power levels, and when the power levels of the target output signals are different, the bias circuit is required to provide different bias direct currents; here, by adjusting the magnitude of the input reference dc current of the bias circuit, the first transistor and the second transistor amplify the input reference dc current of the bias circuit to obtain a bias dc current meeting the actual requirement, and the second transistor obtains target output signals of different power levels based on the input signal of the bias circuit by using the bias dc current.
In practical application, when the bias circuit works and the gate dc voltage of the first transistor changes to cause the drain dc voltages of the first transistor and the second transistor to change, the detection circuit 31 detects and compares the first dc voltage (the drain dc voltage of the first transistor) and the second dc voltage (the drain dc voltage of the second transistor) to obtain a comparison result; the adjusting circuit 32 controls the gate dc voltages of the first transistor and the second transistor by using the comparison result, and realizes that the drain dc voltage of the first transistor is equal to the drain dc voltage of the second transistor by adjusting the impedances of the first transistor and the second transistor.
When the drain dc voltage of the second transistor changes and the drain dc voltage of the first transistor remains unchanged, the detection circuit 31 detects and compares the first dc voltage (the drain dc voltage of the first transistor) and the second dc voltage (the drain dc voltage of the second transistor) to obtain a comparison result; the adjusting circuit 32 controls the gate dc voltages of the first transistor and the second transistor by using the comparison result, and realizes that the drain dc voltage of the first transistor changes along with the change of the drain dc voltage of the second transistor by adjusting the impedances of the first transistor and the second transistor, thereby finally ensuring that the drain dc voltage of the first transistor is equal to the drain dc voltage of the second transistor.
In one embodiment, the function of the control circuit may be implemented by an operational amplifier.
Because the grid of the first transistor is connected with the grid of the second transistor through the resistor attenuating the alternating current signal, the grid direct current voltage of the first transistor is the same as the grid direct current voltage of the second transistor, and meanwhile, the drain direct current voltage of the first transistor is also the same as the drain direct current voltage of the second transistor, wherein the ratio of the direct current flowing through the first transistor to the direct current flowing through the second transistor is equal to the ratio of the size of the first transistor to the size of the second transistor.
In one embodiment, the adjusting circuit 32 is specifically configured to: and controlling the conduction degrees of the first transistor and the second transistor by using the comparison result so as to adjust the first direct current voltage and the second direct current voltage.
The conduction degree refers to the change of the direct current voltage of the drain terminals of the first transistor and the second transistor by changing the impedance of the first transistor and the second transistor.
In one embodiment, the adjusting circuit 32 is specifically configured to: and controlling the conduction states of the first transistor and the second transistor by pulling up or pulling down the direct current voltages of the grids of the first transistor and the second transistor by using the comparison result so as to adjust the first direct current voltage and the second direct current voltage.
In practical application, due to the influence of temperature drift or other reasons, the gate dc voltages of the first transistor and the second transistor may change, and when the gate dc voltages of the first transistor and the second transistor are large, the gate dc voltages of the first transistor and the second transistor need to be pulled down, so that the stability of the gate dc voltages of the first transistor and the second transistor can be ensured. The implementation process of the pull-down comprises the following steps: driving an N-channel metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (NMOS) by using the comparison result, wherein the drain terminal of the NMOS is connected with the grids of the first transistor and the second transistor, and the source terminal of the NMOS is grounded;
when the gate dc voltages of the first transistor and the second transistor are small, the gate dc voltages of the first transistor and the second transistor need to be pulled up, so that the gate dc voltages of the first transistor and the second transistor can be ensured to be stable. The implementation process of the pull-up comprises the following steps: and driving the NMOS by using the comparison result, and increasing the grid direct current voltage of the first transistor and the grid direct current voltage of the second transistor by reducing the pull-down capability of the NMOS.
In practical application, a P-channel metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (PMOS) can be used to provide bias direct current and load for an NMOS, and a source end direct current of the PMOS receives a path of bias direct current.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the adjusting circuit 32 directly controls the conduction degree of the first transistor and the second transistor by using the comparison result obtained by the detecting circuit 31 to adjust the first dc voltage and the second dc voltage; alternatively, the adjusting circuit 32 uses the comparison result obtained by the detecting circuit 31 to pull up or pull down the gate dc voltages of the first transistor and the second transistor, and controls the conduction degrees of the first transistor and the second transistor, so as to adjust the first dc voltage and the second dc voltage. In the two modes, when the bias circuit works, the fact that the direct current voltages of the drain ends of the first transistor and the second transistor follow each other to be equal is guaranteed. When the drain direct-current voltages of the first transistor and the second transistor are the same, and the gate-source direct-current voltages of the first transistor and the second transistor are the same, the ratio of the direct current flowing through the first transistor to the direct current flowing through the second transistor is equal to the ratio of the size of the first transistor to the size of the second transistor; according to the ratio, the first transistor and the second transistor can amplify the input reference direct current of the bias circuit to obtain different bias direct currents, and therefore the direct current control accuracy of the bias circuit can be improved.
In addition, the second transistor can obtain target output signals of different power levels based on the input signal of the bias circuit by using the bias direct current, and can obtain more stable performance in terms of power level and linearity.

In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the bias circuit 51 includes: an NMOS tube Mref, an NMOS tube Mmir, an NMOS tube Mcas, an operational amplifier OPamp, a direct current source Iref, a direct current source Itrim, a resistor Rtrim, a resistor Rbias1, a capacitor Cbias1, a resistor Rbias2, a capacitor Cbias2, a resistor Rbias3, a capacitor Cbias3, an inductor L, a direct current power supply Vbat, an input alternating current signal RFin and an output power RFout; the grid of the NMOS tube Mref is connected with the grid of the NMOS tube Mmir through a resistor Rbias1 attenuating a small alternating current input signal RFin, the drain terminal of the NMOS tube Mref is connected with the positive phase input terminal of the operational amplifier OPamp, the drain terminal of the NMOS tube Mmir is connected with the negative phase input terminal of the operational amplifier OPamp through a resistor Rbias2, the NMOS tube Mref is connected with a direct current source Iref, the drain terminal of the NMOS tube Mmir is connected with the source terminal of the NMOS tube Mcas, the resistor Rbias1, the capacitor Cbias1, the resistor Rbias2, the capacitor Cbias2, the resistor Rbias3 and the capacitor Cbias3 form a low-pass filter for collecting a direct current signal; wherein,
the first transistor 41 is an NMOS transistor Mref;
the second transistor 42 is an NMOS transistor Mmir;
the voltage generation circuit 43 includes: a direct current source Itrim, a resistor Rtrim;
the third transistor 44 is an NMOS transistor Mcas;
the control circuit 45 includes: an operational amplifier OPamp.
The operating principle of the bias circuit shown in fig. 5 is:
the bias states of the NMOS tube Mref and the NMOS tube Mmir are adjusted through the operational amplifier OPamp, different bias direct currents can be obtained through adjusting the size of the direct current source Iref, and target output signals with different power levels can be obtained through the NMOS tube Mmir through the bias direct currents and the input alternating current signal RFin.
The specific process of the operational amplifier OPamp adjusting the bias states of the NMOS transistor Mref and the NMOS transistor Mmir includes:
when an alternating current signal RFin is input and the bias circuit works, the impedance of a direct current source Iref is much larger than the impedance of the source end of an NMOS tube Mcas, so that the total impedance of the drain end of the NMOS tube Mref is larger than the total impedance of the drain end of the NMOS tube Mmir. Therefore, the negative feedback loop has larger gain than the positive feedback loop, and the whole circuit is a negative feedback system. Wherein the negative feedback loop comprises: the operational amplifier OPamp is connected with the input end of the drain terminal of the NMOS tube Mref, the operational amplifier OPamp, the gate electrode of the NMOS tube Mref, the NMOS tube Mref and the drain terminal of the NMOS tube Mref; the positive feedback loop includes: the operational amplifier OPamp is connected with the input end of the drain end of the NMOS tube Mmir, the operational amplifier OPamp, the grid electrode of the NMOS tube Mmir, the NMOS tube Mmir and the drain end of the NMOS tube Mref; the negative feedback system comprises the negative feedback loop and a positive feedback loop.
When the second dc voltage (equivalent to the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor mm) is higher than the first dc voltage (equivalent to the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref), the operational amplifier OPamp will drive the gate dc voltages of the NMOS transistor Mref and the NMOS transistor mm to decrease, so that the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref and the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor mm will both increase, but the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref will increase more, so that the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref and the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor mm tend to be equal. When the second dc voltage (equivalent to the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor mm) is lower than the first dc voltage (equivalent to the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref), the operational amplifier OPamp will drive the gate dc voltages of the NMOS transistor Mref and the NMOS transistor mm to increase, so that the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref and the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor mm will both decrease, but the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref decreases more, so that the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref and the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor mm tend to be equal.
When the resistance Rtrim or Itrim is adjusted, the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir is caused to change, the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref and the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir generate a difference value, when the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir is higher than the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref, the operational amplifier OPamp drives the gate end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref and the gate end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir to be reduced, the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref and the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir are both increased, but the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref is increased more; when the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir is lower than the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref, the operational amplifier OPamp drives the gate end direct current voltages of the NMOS tube Mref and the NMOS tube Mmir to be increased, so that the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref and the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir are both reduced, but the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref is reduced more; finally, the negative feedback system enables the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref and the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir to be approximately equal.
When the gate-source direct current voltage and the drain direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir and the NMOS tube Mref are equal, the direct current flowing through the NMOS tube Mmir is equal to the value of Iref multiplied by the ratio of the sizes of the NMOS tube Mref and the NMOS tube Mmir, and the direct current flowing through the NMOS tube Mmir is the bias direct current of the bias circuit.
The embodiment of the present invention provides a voltage generating circuit 43, which utilizes a dc current source Itrim, a resistor Rtrim, to generate a first bias dc voltage at the gate of Mcas, and generate a second bias dc voltage at the gate of Mref and Mmir, wherein the difference between the first bias dc voltage and the second bias dc voltage is the voltage on the resistor Rtrim. The gate of the Mcas is connected with the resistor Rtrim after being filtered by the resistor Rbias3 and the capacitor Cbias 3. The first bias direct-current voltage generates a gate-source direct-current voltage which subtracts the Mcas to obtain a drain terminal voltage (second direct-current voltage) of the Mmir, and the second direct-current voltage changes along with the changes of the first bias direct-current voltage and the second bias direct-current voltage.
Here, the voltage generation circuit 43 may generate the first bias dc voltage and the second bias dc voltage in the manners of the fourth embodiment and the fifth embodiment.
In the embodiment of the present invention, in the operation of the bias circuit, the hardware programmable dc current source Itrim and the resistor Rtirm are used to generate the adjusting voltage Vtrim, which is expressed by the following formula: vtrim is Itrim × Rtrim, so that the gate of the NMOS transistor Mcas has a controllable voltage Vtrim relative to the gate of the NMOS transistor mm, thereby controlling the drain dc voltages of the NMOS transistor Mref and the NMOS transistor mm, and allowing the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref and the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor mm to follow each other, thereby greatly improving the dc control accuracy of the bias circuit;
since the voltage at one end of the resistor Rtrim is the same as the gate dc voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref, the dc current flowing through the resistor Rtrim is absorbed by the output terminal of the operational amplifier OPamp. Here, one end of the resistor Rtrim may be connected to the gate of the NMOS transistor Mref, or a resistor without dc current may be connected to the gate of the NMOS transistor Mref, so that the difference between the gate voltage of the NMOS transistor Mcas and the gate voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref and the NMOS transistor Mmir is determined only by the resistor Rtrim and the dc current source Itrim, which is more convenient for debugging;
by utilizing the programmable hardware direct current source Itrim and the programmable hardware direct current source Iref to cooperate with the adjustment of the bias states of the NMOS tube Mref and the NMOS tube Mmir in the bias circuit, the bias direct current and the bias direct voltage with better advantages can be respectively selected according to different power levels, so that the bias circuit obtains better performance in the aspects of power level, efficiency, linearity and the like.

when an alternating current signal RFin is input and the bias circuit works, the impedance of a direct current source Iref is much larger than the impedance of the source end of an NMOS tube Mcas, so that the total impedance of the drain end of the NMOS tube Mref is larger than the total impedance of the drain end of the NMOS tube Mmir. Therefore, the negative feedback loop has larger gain than the positive feedback loop, and the whole circuit is a negative feedback system. Wherein the negative feedback loop comprises: the operational amplifier OPamp is connected with the input end of the drain terminal of the NMOS tube Mref, the operational amplifier OPamp, the gate electrode of the NMOS tube Mref, the NMOS tube Mref and the drain terminal of the NMOS tube Mref; the positive feedback loop includes: the operational amplifier OPamp is connected with the input end of the drain end of the NMOS tube Mmir, the operational amplifier OPamp, the grid electrode of the NMOS tube Mmir, the NMOS tube Mmir and the drain end of the NMOS tube Mmir; the negative feedback system comprises the negative feedback loop and a positive feedback loop.
When the second dc voltage (equivalent to the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor mm) is higher than the first dc voltage (equivalent to the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref), the operational amplifier OPamp will drive the gate dc voltages of the NMOS transistor Mref and the NMOS transistor mm to decrease, so that the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref and the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor mm will both increase, but the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref will increase more, so that the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref and the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor mm tend to be equal. When the second dc voltage (equivalent to the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor mm) is lower than the first dc voltage (equivalent to the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref), the operational amplifier OPamp will drive the gate dc voltages of the NMOS transistor Mref and the NMOS transistor mm to increase, so that the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref and the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor mm will both decrease, but the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref decreases more, so that the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref and the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor mm tend to be equal.
When the resistance Rtrim or Itrim is adjusted, the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir is caused to change, the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref and the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir generate a difference value, when the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir is higher than the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref, the operational amplifier OPamp drives the gate end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref and the gate end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir to be reduced, the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref and the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir are both increased, but the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref is increased more; when the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir is lower than the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref, the operational amplifier OPamp drives the gate end direct current voltages of the NMOS tube Mref and the NMOS tube Mmir to be increased, so that the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref and the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir are both reduced, but the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref is reduced more; finally, the negative feedback system enables the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref and the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir to be approximately equal.
By using a direct current source Itrim, a resistor Rtrim1 and a resistor Rtrim2, a first bias direct current voltage is generated at the gates of the NMOS transistor Mcas3 and the NMOS transistor Mcas4, respectively, a second bias direct current voltage is generated at the gates of the NMOS transistor Mref and the NMOS transistor Mmir, and the difference between the first bias direct current voltage and the second bias direct current voltage is the sum of the voltages of the resistor Rtrim1 and the resistor Rtrim 2.

the control circuit 45 includes: an operational amplifier OPampA.
The operating principle of the bias circuit shown in fig. 8 is:
when an alternating current signal RFin is input and the bias circuit works, and due to the influence of temperature or other factors, when the grid direct current voltage of at least one of the NMOS tube Mref and the NMOS tube Mmir changes, the comparison result output by the output end of the operational amplifier OPamp is utilized, and the grid direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref and the grid direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir are pulled up or pulled down, so that the conduction states of the NMOS tube Mref and the NMOS tube Mmir are controlled, and the first direct current voltage and the second direct current voltage are adjusted and are equal.
When the gate dc voltages of the NMOS transistor Mref and the NMOS transistor Mmir are large, the gate dc voltages of the NMOS transistor Mref and the NMOS transistor Mmir need to be pulled down, so that the gate dc voltages of the NMOS transistor Mref and the NMOS transistor Mmir can be ensured to be stable. The implementation process of the pull-down comprises the following steps: the comparison result output by the operational amplifier OPamp is used for driving the NMOS tube Mn1, and the source end of the NMOS tube Mn1 is grounded, so that the grid direct-current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref and the grid direct-current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir can be pulled down;
when the gate dc voltages of the NMOS transistor Mref and the NMOS transistor Mmir are small, the gate dc voltages of the NMOS transistor Mref and the NMOS transistor Mmir need to be pulled up, so that the gate dc voltages of the NMOS transistor Mref and the NMOS transistor Mmir can be ensured to be stable. The implementation process of the pull-up comprises the following steps: the NMOS transistor Mn1 is driven by the comparison result to reduce the pull-down capability of the NMOS transistor Mn1, so that the gate dc voltages of the NMOS transistor Mref and the NMOS transistor Mmir rise. The PMOS tube Mp1 provides a bias direct current and a load to the NMOS tube Mn1, and the source end direct current of the PMOS tube Mp1 receives a path of bias direct current Ibias.

Therefore, the negative feedback loop has larger gain than the positive feedback loop, and the whole circuit is a negative feedback system. Wherein the negative feedback loop comprises: the operational amplifier OPampA and the input end connected with the drain terminal of the NMOS tube Mref, the operational amplifier OPampA, the grid electrode of the NMOS tube Mn1, the drain terminal of the NMOS tube Mn1, the grid electrode of the NMOS tube Mref, the NMOS tube Mref and the drain terminal of the NMOS tube Mref; the positive feedback loop includes: the operational amplifier OPampA and the NMOS tube Mmir are connected with the drain end of the input end, the operational amplifier OPampA, the gate electrode of the NMOS tube Mn1, the drain end of the NMOS tube Mn1, the gate electrode of the NMOS tube Mmir, the NMOS tube Mmir and the drain end of the NMOS tube Mmir; the negative feedback system comprises the negative feedback loop and a positive feedback loop.
When the second dc voltage (equivalent to the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor mm) is higher than the first dc voltage (equivalent to the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref), the operational amplifier opampapa drives the gate dc voltages of the NMOS transistor Mref and the NMOS transistor mm to decrease, so that the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref and the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor mm will both increase, but the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref increases more, so that the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref and the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor mm tend to be equal. When the second dc voltage (equivalent to the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor mm) is lower than the first dc voltage (equivalent to the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref), the operational amplifier opampapa drives the gate dc voltages of the NMOS transistor Mref and the NMOS transistor mm to increase, so that the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref and the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor mm will both decrease, but the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref decreases more, so that the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor Mref and the drain dc voltage of the NMOS transistor mm tend to be equal.
When the resistance Rtrim or Itrim is adjusted, the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir is caused to change, the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref and the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir generate a difference value, when the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir is higher than the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref, the operational amplifier OPampA drives the gate end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref and the gate end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir to be reduced, the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref and the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir are both increased, but the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref is increased more; when the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir is lower than the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref, the operational amplifier OPampA drives the gate end direct current voltages of the NMOS tube Mref and the NMOS tube Mmir to be increased, so that the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref and the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir are both reduced, but the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref is reduced more; finally, the negative feedback system enables the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mref and the drain end direct current voltage of the NMOS tube Mmir to be approximately equal.
The direct current source Itrim and the resistor Rtrim are utilized to generate a first bias direct current voltage at the grid electrode of the NMOS tube Mcas, a second bias direct current voltage is generated at the grid electrodes of the NMOS tube Mref and the NMOS tube Mmir, and the difference value between the first bias direct current voltage and the second bias direct current voltage is the voltage on the resistor Rtrim. The gate-source dc voltage on the NMOS transistor Mcas is subtracted from the first bias dc voltage to obtain the drain dc voltage (corresponding to the second dc voltage in the first embodiment) of the NMOS transistor Mmir, where the second dc voltage varies with the first bias dc voltage and the second bias dc voltage.

In practical application, when the bias circuit works and the grid direct-current voltage of the first transistor changes to cause the drain direct-current voltages of the first transistor and the second transistor to change, the first direct-current voltage (equivalent to the drain direct-current voltage of the first transistor) and the second direct-current voltage (equivalent to the drain direct-current voltage of the second transistor) are compared to obtain a comparison result; and controlling the direct current voltage of the grid electrodes of the first transistor and the second transistor by using the comparison result, and realizing that the direct current voltage of the drain end of the first transistor is equal to the direct current voltage of the drain end of the second transistor by adjusting the impedance of the first transistor and the impedance of the second transistor.
When the drain end direct current voltage of the second transistor changes and the drain end direct current voltage of the first transistor keeps unchanged, comparing the first direct current voltage (equivalent to the drain end direct current voltage of the first transistor) with the second direct current voltage (equivalent to the drain end direct current voltage of the second transistor) to obtain a comparison result; and controlling the direct current voltage of the grid electrodes of the first transistor and the second transistor by using the comparison result, and realizing that the direct current voltage of the drain end of the first transistor changes along with the change of the direct current voltage of the drain end of the second transistor by adjusting the impedance of the first transistor and the impedance of the second transistor, thereby finally ensuring that the direct current voltage of the drain end of the first transistor is equal to the direct current voltage of the drain end of the second transistor.
When the gate-source direct current voltage of the first transistor is the same as the gate-source direct current voltage of the second transistor, and the drain direct current voltage of the first transistor is also the same as the drain direct current voltage of the second transistor, the ratio of the direct current flowing through the first transistor to the direct current flowing through the second transistor is equal to the ratio of the size of the first transistor to the size of the second transistor.
