Detailed Description
The technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Note that, the port name label at the circuit port below corresponds to the signal voltage input and output by the port.
The embodiment of the utility model provides a phase-locked accelerating circuit based on level width extraction, as shown in figure 1, the phase-locked loop suitable for the phase-locked accelerating circuit comprises a phase frequency detector, a charge pump, a low-pass filter, a voltage-controlled oscillator and a frequency divider, wherein the phase frequency detector, the charge pump, the low-pass filter, the voltage-controlled oscillator and the frequency divider are connected in sequence to form a feedback loop, the phase-locked accelerating circuit is additionally provided with a level extraction control circuit and a current injection switch module on the basis of the traditional phase-locked loop, the phase-locked accelerating circuit utilizes a control signal which reflects the phase relation between an input reference clock signal and a feedback clock signal and is output by the phase frequency detector to drive the level extraction control circuit to control the condition that the current injection switch module injects charges into the low-pass filter and realize the function of opening the current injection low-pass filter step by step until the reference clock signal fref input by the phase frequency detector is synchronous with, the phase synchronization change (i.e. phase synchronization) of the reference clock signal fref and the feedback clock signal fbk is realized, the control voltage overshoot of the input voltage-controlled oscillator is avoided, meanwhile, the delay of the feedback loop is also counteracted, and the phase locking time is reduced.
As shown in fig. 1, the level extraction control circuit is provided with a driving input terminal UP, an enable control terminal EN, and a control output terminal ctr _ kep; the current injection switch module is provided with a current stepping control end UP and a current injection control end ctr _ kep, namely, a control output end ctr _ kep of the level extraction control circuit is connected with the current injection control end ctr _ kep of the current injection switch module; the enable control terminal EN of the level extraction control circuit is connected to an external enable signal source EN for controlling the feedback loop to start phase locking operation, and starts to automatically adjust the phase relationship between the reference clock signal fref and the feedback clock signal fbk. Meanwhile, the current step input control end UP of the current injection switch module and the driving input end UP of the level extraction control circuit are both connected to a preset control signal output end UP of the phase frequency detector. In the phase frequency detector, control signals UP, DN, UPB and DNB are generated by comparing an input reference clock signal fref with a feedback clock signal fbk, the signal UPB and the signal DN are used for controlling a current switch MOS tube in a charge pump, the signal UP and the signal DNB are used for controlling cancellation charge sharing, the signal UPB and the signal UP are a pair of opposite level signals, the signal DNB and the signal DN are also a pair of opposite level signals, specifically, the signal DN is kept as a constant signal after the rising phase of a control voltage output by a low-pass filter, and therefore, the signal DNB and the signal DN are not suitable for step-by-step current regulation. In the prior art, a current switching device of a charge pump is controlled by using a signal UPB, and if the signal is used for controlling current injection into a switching module, the output current of the charge pump is affected. Therefore, in this embodiment, the UP signal output by a preset control signal output end of the phase frequency detector is used to control the current injection switch module, that is, the inverted signal of the control signal output by the phase frequency detector and used to control the charge pump to perform current injection is used to control the on/off of the current injection switch module, and the charge pump is not affected.
As shown in fig. 1, a signal input terminal VC _ in of the low pass filter is connected to a signal output terminal of the charge pump, a capacitance input terminal VC _ DN of the low pass filter is connected to a signal output terminal of the current injection switch module, and is configured to receive the charge provided by the signal output terminal of the charge pump and the charge injected by the signal output terminal of the current injection switch module, generate a control voltage by receiving the accumulated charge, and output the control voltage to the voltage controlled oscillator through a signal output terminal VC _ out of the low pass filter, where the capacitance input terminal VC _ DN of the low pass filter is: in the resistor-capacitor series branch inside the low-pass filter, the connection node of the resistor R and the capacitor C10 connected in series with the resistor R is connected. The low-pass filter shown in the embodiment of fig. 1 is a second-order low-pass filter, which includes a first filter capacitor C10, a second filter capacitor C20, and a resistor R3, the signal output end (i.e. VC _ DN in fig. 1) of the current injection control module is connected to one end of the first filter capacitor C10 and one end of the resistor R, the other end of the first filter capacitor C10 is grounded, the other end of the resistor R is connected to one end of the second filter capacitor C20, the other end of the second filter capacitor C20 is grounded, a connection node of the first filter capacitor C10 and the resistor R is a capacitor input terminal VC _ DN of the low-pass filter, a connection node of the resistor R and the second filter capacitor C20 is used as a signal input terminal VC _ in of the low-pass filter, and a connection node of the resistor R and the second filter capacitor C20 is also used as a signal output terminal VC _ out of the low-pass filter. Besides the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the multi-order low-pass filter such as the three-order low-pass filter circuit and the like is applicable to the phase-locked accelerating circuit (not shown in the figure), and no loop parameter is required to be changed, and a connection node of the filter resistor and the filter capacitor can be used as an input end or an output end of the low-pass filter and can be used for receiving the charge injected by the current injection switch module and the charge injected by the charge pump in the charging and discharging process. Meanwhile, other performances can be optimized according to the rapid locking capacity provided by the phase-locked accelerating circuit. The low pass filter functions to convert the pulse control signal (in the form of charge and discharge through a charge pump) output by the phase frequency detector, which is related to phase error, into a stable control signal and to filter out noise.
It should be noted that, in the phase-locked loop, the locking process of the phase-locked loop is divided into a frequency adjustment stage and a phase adjustment stage, the phase-locked loop starts to work, and the enable control signal changes from a low level to a high level, in this embodiment, it can be considered that the enable control end EN of the level extraction control circuit changes from a low level to a high level, the phase-locked loop starts to work and enters the frequency adjustment stage, because of the enable control of the enable signal EN, the voltage-controlled oscillator starts to generate an output clock frequency signal and feeds the output clock frequency signal back to the phase frequency detector through the frequency divider, in this stage, the UP signal is at a long-range high level first, and when the phase frequency detector receives the feedback signal, the UP signal with an irregularly-changing duty ratio is output according to the phase relationship between the reference clock signal fref and the; when the signal UP is at a long-section high level, the control output end ctr _ kep of the level extraction control circuit is at a low level, and the current injection switch module is turned on, so that charges are injected into the filter capacitor inside the low-pass filter, the process of adjusting the frequency is accelerated, the voltage output by the low-pass filter to the voltage-controlled oscillator is increased until the voltage is close to and slightly lower than the final stable voltage, and therefore the frequency of the feedback clock signal fbk is slightly lower than the frequency of the reference clock signal fref, and the signal UP is promoted to skip the irregular change stage and enter a phase adjustment stage. After entering a phase adjustment stage, a signal UP is adjusted to be a rectangular wave signal with a changing duty ratio law by the phase frequency detector, and the changing law is as follows: it can be seen from fig. 5 and fig. 7 that the low-level width of the signal UP is decreased and then increased (since the voltage output from the low-pass filter to the voltage-controlled oscillator is slightly lower than the final stable voltage when the phase-locked loop of the present embodiment enters the phase adjustment phase, only this situation is considered), until the low-level width of the signal UP is almost equal to the period width of the signal UP, and the pulse width of the signal UP is very small.
Specifically, the variation trend of the signal UP reflects the phase relationship between the feedback signal and the reference signal input by the phase frequency detector. When the low level width of the UP signal increases, indicating that the frequency of the feedback clock signal fbk is less than the frequency of the reference clock signal fref, at this stage, the reference clock signal fref leads the feedback clock signal fbk, and the leading level width of the reference clock signal fref relative to the feedback clock signal fbk increases, the voltage VC output by the low-pass filter for controlling the voltage-controlled oscillator is lower than the final stable voltage, and the current is injected into the corresponding capacitor of the low-pass filter by the charge pump to raise the voltage of the signal output terminal VC _ out of the low-pass filter, and the frequency of the feedback clock signal fbk is raised accordingly, so that the increasing speed of the low level width of the UP signal gradually decreases until the frequency of the feedback clock signal fbk is equal to the frequency of the reference clock signal fref, the low level width of the UP signal no longer increases, due to the feedback delay characteristic of the pll, the voltage at the signal output end VC _ out of the low-pass filter is already slightly higher than the final stable voltage, and at this time, since the phases of the feedback clock signal fbk and the reference clock signal fref are not aligned, a phase synchronization process still needs to be performed, and then the voltage at the signal output end VC _ out of the low-pass filter continues to be raised, the frequency of the feedback clock signal fbk is greater than the frequency of the reference clock signal fref, the low-level width of the control signal UP starts to decrease, and at this time, the voltage at the signal output end VC _ out of the low-pass filter exceeds the final stable voltage value, and then a decaying oscillation process is performed until phase locking.
In the phase locking process, the frequency adjustment stage is entered first, and due to the delay effect of the feedback loop, the signal UP goes through a long high level, the current injection switch module is conducted to quickly inject charges into the capacitor input end VC _ DN, the voltage of the signal output end VC _ out is quickly increased, and the voltage of the signal output end VC _ out is close to the final stable voltage, then, along with the coming of the feedback signal, the signal UP is changed into a jump signal with the low level and the width changing regularly, the phase adjustment stage is switched to the phase adjustment stage from the frequency adjustment stage, the stage of step-by-step adjustment of the current injection switch module is started, the level extraction control circuit is used for outputting the duty ratio change condition of the signal UP according to the control signal output end, the signal output by the control output ctr _ kep is hopped at an appropriate time to turn off the charge injection to the capacitive input VC _ DN of the low-pass filter.
Specifically, the level extraction control circuit determines a plurality of extraction intervals by delaying an enable control end EN signal of the level extraction control circuit, and extracts low-level pulse width information of the signal UP at different time stages before the phase lock is stabilized, that is, compares low-level pulse widths of the signal UP output by the control output end at different time stages. When the voltage of the signal output end VC _ out of the low-pass filter is close to stability, the output of the control output end ctr _ kep jumps, phase locking acceleration is completed, the speed of phase synchronization of the feedback clock signal fbk and the reference clock signal fref is increased, and the phase-locked loop can enter a stable damped oscillation locking process, so that the phase-locked time can be greatly reduced, the phase-locked loop can be quickly locked, and the phase-locked time is reduced. And the level extraction control circuit selects the moment when the increase trend of the pulse width of the signal UP starts to change according to the change rule of the low level width of the pulse signal UP, and the frequency of the feedback clock signal fbk is close to the frequency of the reference clock signal fref at the moment, so that the control output end ctr _ kep of the level extraction control circuit outputs high level, thereby turning off the work of the phase-locked accelerating circuit, and at the moment, the phase-locked accelerating circuit is turned off to avoid the charge overshoot of the low-pass filter. Compared with the prior art, the voltage of the signal output end VC _ out of the low-pass filter is quickly increased by quickly injecting charges on the basis of a pure hardware circuit; the level extraction control circuit controls the current conduction state of the current injection switch module according to the jump condition of a control signal UP reflecting the phase relation between a reference clock signal and a feedback clock signal, charges are injected into the low-pass filter in a stepping control mode in cooperation with the duty ratio change of the signal UP, the phase locking time is shortened, and meanwhile, the phase locking accelerating circuit is switched off when the phase locking accelerating circuit approaches to the phase locking state, so that the influence on loop parameters is avoided.

As an embodiment, in the delay level generating array, n is preferably 5, and the delay level generating array is formed by cascading eight D flip-flops, as shown in fig. 4, the connection structure is: the data input end D of the first-stage D trigger is connected with the enabling control end EN; in two adjacent cascaded D flip-flops, a data input terminal D of a D flip-flop of a next stage is connected to a data output terminal Q of a D flip-flop of a previous stage, 8 data output terminals Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6, Q7 and Q8 are respectively and correspondingly arranged, a clock terminal of each D flip-flop is connected to the driving input terminal UP, and a reset terminal CLR of each D flip-flop is connected to the enable control terminal EN. When the signal EN changes from low to high, which marks the pll starting a new phase-locked loop operation, as shown in fig. 5, the UP signal generates a first rising edge at time t0, and the output Q1 of the first stage D flip-flop receives the signal EN, so that the output Q1 changes to high. Due to the delay of the first stage D flip-flop, the second stage D flip-flop is at a low level when the first rising edge of the signal UP comes, the output terminal Q2 of the second stage D flip-flop is still at a low level until time t1, the signal UP is kept at a high level state for a long time period between t0 and t1, the output terminals Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6, Q7, and Q8 of the subsequent stage D flip-flops higher than the first stage D flip-flop are kept at a low level, and when the signal UP changes to a low level within a time period from t0 to t1, the output signals of the cascaded D flip-flops do not change, but the output signals can be used for turning on the first zero PMOS transistor MP10 of the current injection switch module, and charges are injected into the capacitor input terminal VC _ DN of the low pass filter MN through the first zero NMOS transistor MP10 and the second zero NMOS transistor MN20, so as to accelerate the frequency modulation.

Also due to the delay effect, the input Q2 of the third stage D flip-flop is at a low level when the second rising edge of the UP signal arrives, so the output of the third stage D flip-flop is at a low level until the third rising edge of the UP signal arrives at time t2, where the UP signal appears to change irregularly during the time period from t0 to t2, and is in the frequency adjustment phase. In the same principle, every time the next rising edge of the signal UP comes, the output of the next stage D flip-flop changes to high level, so as to realize the generation of delay level until the time t7, wherein the present embodiment sets phase locking at the time t 7; then, the signal UP appears as low-level and high-level pulses, in which the low-level width of the signal UP is almost equal to one period of the signal UP.

As can be seen from fig. 3, according to the gate control manner of the first pulse width test NMOS transistor MN1 and the first pulse width test PMOS transistor MP1, charge can be injected into the first capacitor C1 only when the data output terminal Q1 of the first stage D flip-flop is at a high level and the data output terminal Q2 of the second stage D flip-flop is at a low level, as can be seen from fig. 5, a time period from t0 to t1 satisfies the above state, and at the same time, the gate of the first switch PMOS transistor MP11 is controlled by an UP signal, and in a time interval when both the first pulse width test NMOS transistor MN1 and the first pulse width test PMOS transistor MP1 are turned on, only when the signal UP is at a low level, charge can be injected into the first capacitor C1, and the voltage carried by both ends of the first capacitor C1 is in direct proportion to the time of injecting the charge, so as to achieve the function of extracting the width information of the first low level of the signal; similarly, when the output terminal Q2 of the D flip-flop of the second stage outputs a high level and the data output terminal Q3 of the D flip-flop of the third stage is a low level, that is, the time period from t1 to t2 in fig. 5 is taken as the extraction interval of the second stage, when the UP signal keeps a low level in this interval, the charge can be injected into the second capacitor C2, the voltage carried at the two ends of the second capacitor C2 is proportional to the time of injecting the charge, so as to extract the width information of the second low level of the UP signal; similarly, when the output Qn of the nth stage D flip-flop outputs a high level, the data output Qn +1 of the (n + 1) th stage D flip-flop outputs a low level, and the UP signal is a low level, the pulse width extraction units of the subsequent stages extract corresponding low level width information in the corresponding extraction intervals, and convert the low level width information into voltage information, which is respectively outputted from the pulse width information output terminals V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6, and V7 of the pulse width extraction units of the respective stages. When the signal EN changes from low level to high level, the data output terminal Q1 of the first stage D flip-flop outputs low level, and the inverted output terminal Q1B outputs high level, so as to turn on the reset control NMOS transistor in the pulse width extraction unit of each stage, and further release the charge on the capacitor, thereby ensuring that the voltage extraction from V1 to V7 is not affected. When the data output terminal Q1 of the first stage D flip-flop outputs a low level and changes to a high level, the inverted output terminal Q1B outputs a high level, ending the charge discharging process until the next phase-locked loop restarts. In this embodiment, according to the delay signal output by each adjacent cascaded D flip-flop of the delay level generation array, the corresponding low level width information on the extraction interval of each level of pulse width extraction unit is determined and stored in the capacitor corresponding to the one-level pulse width extraction unit, and the voltage magnitude relation of each capacitor in the pulse width extraction unit is adjusted by changing the capacitance ratio of the adjacent two-level pulse width extraction units, so that the level extraction control circuit controls the time of switching on and off the current of the current injection switch module, and the increase of the phase-locked time caused by the delay fed back by the phase-locked loop can be counteracted, so that the control voltage output by the low-pass filter tends to be stable, and the locking time of the phase-locked loop is shortened.
It should be noted that, in the 7 cascaded pulse width extraction units, a ratio between capacitances of two adjacent cascaded pulse width extraction units is a preset value, and the preset value is smaller than 1. The capacitance relationship satisfies Cn × K ═ Cn +1 (n: number of stages), and K is determined according to the actual operating state of the specific pll, and is between about 0.8 and 1, where K is preferably 0.9 in this embodiment. This preferred embodiment is advantageous for controlling the current injection switching module to cut off the injection of charge to the capacitor side of the low-pass filter while compensating for an increase in the phase-lock time due to the feedback loop delay.
The control signal generation module comprises n comparators, an OR logic circuit and a switch D trigger; the n comparators start from the pulse width extraction unit of the second stage according to the cascade sequence in the pulse width extraction array, the positive and negative input ends of each comparator are respectively connected with the pulse width information output ends of the adjacent cascade pulse width extraction units, the negative input end of each comparator is connected with the pulse width information output end of the pulse width extraction unit with the smaller stage number, and the positive input end of each comparator is connected with the pulse width information output end of the pulse width extraction unit with the larger stage number; wherein, the OR logic circuit comprises a plurality of OR gates or corresponding combinational logic circuits. As shown in fig. 6, the control signal generating module includes 5 comparators, a five-input or gate, and a switch D flip-flop; the negative input end of the comparator cmp1 is connected with the pulse width information output end V2 of the pulse width extraction unit of the second stage, and the positive input end is connected with the pulse width information output end V3 of the pulse width extraction unit of the third stage; the negative input end of the comparator cmp2 is connected with the pulse width information output end V3 of the pulse width extraction unit at the third stage, and the positive input end is connected with the pulse width information output end V4 of the pulse width extraction unit at the fourth stage; the negative input end of the comparator cmp3 is connected with the pulse width information output end V4 of the pulse width extraction unit at the fourth stage, and the positive input end is connected with the pulse width information output end V5 of the pulse width extraction unit at the fifth stage; the negative input end of the comparator cmp4 is connected with the pulse width information output end V5 of the pulse width extraction unit of the fifth stage, and the positive input end is connected with the pulse width information output end V6 of the pulse width extraction unit of the sixth stage; the negative input end of the comparator cmp5 is connected with the pulse width information output end V6 of the pulse width extraction unit of the sixth stage, and the positive input end is connected with the pulse width information output end V7 of the pulse width extraction unit of the seventh stage; the output ends of the comparator cmp1, the comparator cmp2, the comparator cmp3, the comparator cmp4 and the comparator cmp5 are all connected to the input end of the five-input or gate, the output end ctr of the five-input or gate is connected to the clock end of the switch D flip-flop, the data input end D and the reset end CLR are both connected to the enable control end EN, and the data output end Q of the switch D flip-flop is used as the control output end ctr _ kep of the level extraction control circuit.
The control signal generation module is used for sequentially comparing the voltage value relations of V2, V3, V4, V5, V6 and V7 through the comparator and carrying out control signal cut-off output at a proper time. In this embodiment, the proportions of MOS transistors in the comparator cmp1, the comparator cmp2, the comparator cmp3, the comparator cmp4 and the comparator cmp5 are adjusted, as shown in fig. 7, so that before the first rising edge of the UP signal arrives, that is, before the time t0, the positive and negative inputs of the comparator are both zero, and therefore when the phase-locked loop starts to operate, the outputs of the positive and negative input terminals of the comparator are all 0, that is, V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6 and V7 are all 0, and the outputs of the comparator are all 0. At the time t1, the second rising edge of the signal UP comes, and since the low-level width extraction voltage V1 of the pulse width extraction unit of the first stage is in the transition region between the frequency adjustment phase and the phase adjustment phase, in the transition region, since the low-level width of the signal UP for reflecting the phase relationship between the feedback clock signal fbk and the reference clock signal fref is unstable, the comparator that does not send the pulse width information to the control signal generation module participates in the comparison.
It should be noted that when the output signals of the comparator cmp1, the comparator cmp2, the comparator cmp3, the comparator cmp4, and the comparator cmp5 are at a high level, the output ctr of the five-input or gate is at a high level, otherwise, the output ctr of the five-input or gate is at a low level. As shown in fig. 7, the voltage V2 rises at time t2, while the voltage V3 remains low, and since the negative input terminal of the comparator cmp1 is connected to V2 and the positive input terminal of the comparator cmp1 is connected to V3, the output signal of the comparator cmp1 is 0 at this time V3 is 0. With the arrival of the fourth rising edge of the signal UP, the voltage V3 rises at the time t3, the voltage V3 changes, at this time, the voltage V2 is still greater than the voltage V3, the output of the comparator cmp1 is still 0, which also means that the low-level width of the signal UP is in a trend of keeping decreasing in the time period from t1 to t 3; if the voltage V2 is less than the voltage V3, the comparator cmp1 output is high, which also means that the low-level width of the signal UP shows an increasing tendency as a whole in the period from t1 to t3 (not shown in fig. 7). During the time period from t2 to t3, the negative input of the comparator cmp2 is at voltage V3, and the voltage V4 applied to the positive input of the comparator cmp2 remains zero, so the comparator cmp2 output is zero. As the fifth rising edge of the signal UP comes, the voltage V4 rises at the time t4, and the comparator cmp2 compares the magnitudes of the voltage V3 and the voltage V4 in the method of the foregoing embodiment, thereby determining whether the low-level width of the signal UP in the time period t2 to t4 increases or decreases. Similarly, the comparator cmp3, the comparator cmp4, and the comparator cm5 each perform comparison output in accordance with the foregoing principle.
It should be noted that when the output of the comparator cmp2 goes high, it is necessary to ensure that the output of the control signal generation block goes high, and the comparator cmp3, the comparator cmp4, and the comparator cmp5 continue to perform comparison output based on the voltage signal obtained by delaying, but the output result of the control signal generation module is not influenced, but under different process conditions and the like, the performance of the comparator is different, it may cause the output of the comparator to oscillate, causing the output ctr of the five-input or-gate to oscillate, or, due to long-time operation, the voltage released by the pulse width information output end of the pulse width extraction unit may be changed due to the leakage of the charge in the capacitor of the pulse width extraction unit, causing the output of the comparator to change, causing the signal ctr at the output of the five-input or gate to change. Therefore, the output end of the five-input or gate needs to be connected to the clock end of the switch D flip-flop, the data input end D of the switch D flip-flop is connected to the EN signal, after the phase-locked loop starts to operate, when the first rising edge of the output end signal ctr of the five-input or gate comes, the output end of the switch D flip-flop changes from low level to high level, and in the following operation process, even if the clock end of the switch D flip-flop still comes, because the signal EN connected to the data input end D of the switch D flip-flop keeps high level, the signal ctr _ kep output by the data output end Q of the switch D flip-flop does not change, and still remains high level, thereby ensuring that the data output end of the switch D flip-flop keeps the level state of the data input end unchanged under the condition that the pulse width information output end outputs the edge jump signal, thereby improving the reliability of the phase-locked accelerating circuit.
In summary, the pulse width extraction array extracts low level width information of the signal UP in seven different time periods, converts the low level width information into voltage values V1 to V7 through internal capacitors, determines the conduction time of the current injection switch module and the time when the phase of the reference clock signal fref input by the phase frequency detector is synchronized with the phase of the feedback clock signal fbk (determined as a stable phase lock state) according to the low level width change information of the signal UP, and sends a reliable signal ctr _ kep through the control signal generation module to control the current injection switch module. As shown in fig. 7, before time t5, the signal ctr remains low, which indicates that the pulse width information output terminals of the adjacent cascaded pulse width extraction units compared by the comparators cmp1, cmp2 and cmp3 are all 0; in the adjacent cascaded pulse width extraction units, the voltage Vn +1 of the pulse width information output end of the pulse width extraction unit with the larger stage number is not larger than the pulse width information output end Vn of the pulse width extraction unit with the smaller stage number, so that the control signal ctr is not enough to be inverted to the high level, which indicates that the low level width change state of the signal UP is still in the reduction stage. After the voltage V6 is increased from the low level at time t6, the voltage V6 is greater than the voltage V5, the output of the comparator cmp4 is at the high level, the output end signal ctr of the five-input or gate outputs the high level, the low level width of the signal UP continuously increases until the reference clock signal fref is equal to the feedback clock signal fbk, that is, after time t7, the low level width of the signal UP is close to the length of one period of the signal UP in the time period, and thereafter, the reference clock signal fref and the feedback clock signal fbk are adjusted based on the feedback delay characteristic of the phase-locked loop until the phases of the two start to change synchronously. The low pass filter is used for controlling the control voltage of the voltage-controlled oscillator, which does not need to be raised, but tends to be stable, so that the current injection switch module is cut off by the signal ctr to inject charges into the capacitance end VC _ DN of the low pass filter, and it should be noted that the current injection switch module is not only controlled by the signal ctr, but also needs to consider the level condition of the signal UP, that is, in the stage that the signal ctr is at a low level, the first zero PMOS transistor MP10 of the current injection switch module is turned on, but also needs to consider whether the signal UP connected to the gate of the second NMOS zero transistor MN20 of the current injection switch module is at a high level. Although the first zero PMOS transistor MP10 is turned on, the signal UP input by the gate of the second zero NMOS transistor MN20 is at a low level, and the current injection switch module still cannot inject charges into the capacitor terminal VC _ DN of the low pass filter, so the current injection switch module is in a phase adjustment phase, and performs current injection in a step manner under the control of the signal UP. When the signal ctr _ kep output by the data output end of the switch D flip-flop is at a high level, the switching state of the second zero NMOS transistor MN20 does not affect the low pass filter. When the phase-locked loop is restarted, the output of the switch D trigger returns to the low level again through the reset setting of the switch D trigger until the control signal ctr becomes the high level again.
In this embodiment, the time for turning off the current injection switch module of the control signal ctr may be changed by changing a proportional relationship among the first capacitor C1, the second capacitor C2, the third capacitor C3, the fourth capacitor C4, the fifth capacitor C5, the sixth capacitor C6, and the seventh capacitor C7, that is, decreasing the proportional parameter K may control the current injection switch module to turn off in advance, and increasing the proportional parameter K may control the current injection switch module to turn off in delay, so that the time for changing the signal ctr _ kep output by the control signal generation module to a high level is finely adjusted by changing the value K, an increase in phase-locked time due to a delay of a phase-locked loop feedback may be cancelled, and an error between VC when the phase-locked acceleration circuit is turned off and VC when the phase-locked acceleration circuit is finally stabilized may be minimized, thereby minimizing the lock time. The capacitance relation satisfies Cn × K ═ Cn +1 (n: number of stages), and the value of K is determined according to the actual operating state of the specific pll, which is between about 0.8 and 1, and K in this embodiment is preferably 0.9. As shown in fig. 7, the capacitance ratio between the seventh capacitor C7 and the sixth capacitor C6 can be individually adjusted to ensure that the signal ctr _ kep output by the control signal generation module must complete the turn-off of the current injection switch module within the time period from t6 to t7, thereby ensuring the stability of the phase-locked acceleration circuit. In this embodiment, the time for turning off the current injection switch module by the level extraction control circuit is advanced by reducing the ratio K between the capacitors, and the time for turning off the current injection switch module by the level extraction control circuit is delayed by increasing the ratio between the capacitors, so as to offset the increase of the phase-locking time caused by the delay of the loop feedback of the phase-locked loop.
The simulation through the EDA tool can obtain that fig. 8 is a waveform diagram of the charging voltage VC _ DN of the filter capacitor of the low-pass filter in the conventional phase-locked loop system and the voltage VC _ out of the signal output end of the low-pass filter before and after phase locking, and fig. 9 is a waveform diagram of the capacitor input end VC _ DN of the low-pass filter and the voltage VC _ out of the signal output end of the low-pass filter before and after phase locking in the phase-locked loop system provided by the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 8 and fig. 9, from the start of the phase-locked loop system, that is, t is equal to 0, VC _ out and VC _ DN both increase from 0, and the increase and increase rate of VC _ out at each time node are both greater than that of VC _ DN, but VC _ out and VC _ DN both change in the same trend, and VC _ out increases and then decreases to be stable during oscillation. The settling time of VC _ out and VC _ DN in fig. 9 is approximately 7us, and the settling time of VC _ out and VC _ DN in fig. 8 is approximately 28us, and the phase-lock accelerating circuit accelerates the phase-lock process, and compared with the conventional pll structure, the phase-lock accelerating circuit provided by this embodiment shortens the phase-lock settling time of the pll system in which it is located by about 75%.
