Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an input bias current compensation circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 1, the input bias current compensation circuit includes:
the input transistor Q1, the base of the input transistor Q1 is used for gathering the input signal;
a compensation transistor Q2, the compensation transistor Q2 being connected in series with the input transistor Q1;
a current mirror 110, the current mirror 110 being electrically connected to the base of the input transistor Q1, and the current mirror 110 being electrically connected to the base of the compensation transistor Q2; the current mirror 110 is used to mirror the base current of the compensation transistor Q2 to the base of the input transistor Q1 to compensate the base bias current of the input transistor Q1.
Specifically, the input transistor Q1 is a detection end transistor of the oscilloscope, i.e. the base of the input transistor Q1 is used for connecting a tested point. When the input transistor Q1 operates, its base generates a small current (i.e., an input bias current) which is drawn from the tested point, thereby affecting the voltage of the tested point and affecting the measurement accuracy. The embodiment of the utility model provides a can carry out current compensation to input transistor Q1's input stage through setting up compensation transistor Q2 and current mirror 110 to compensate the influence that the extraction current produced to the measurement. The current mirror 110 is a standard component commonly found in analog integrated circuits, and is characterized by the fact that the output current is a "replica" of the input current in a certain proportion.
Optionally, the input transistor Q1 and the compensation transistor Q2 are both triodes; the transistors used by the current mirror 110 are field effect transistors and/or transistors.
For example, the principle of compensating the input bias current according to the embodiment of the present invention is: the input transistor Q1 and the compensation transistor Q2 are located in the same current path, so that when the base of the input transistor Q1 is connected to the voltage of the tested point to generate current, the compensation transistor Q2 will generate current accordingly. Similar to input transistor Q1, the base of compensation transistor Q2 also produces a smaller current that is mirrored to the base of input transistor Q1 by current mirror 110. It can be seen that there are two current paths flowing into the base of the input transistor Q1, one being the current path of the tested point and the other being the current path of the current mirror 110. Compare with the base current of input transistor Q1 among the prior art only by being provided by the test point, the embodiment of the utility model provides an increased current mirror 110 and compensated input transistor Q1's base current to reduced from the electric current by the test point extraction. In an ideal situation, when the current of the current path of the current mirror 110 is equal to the base current of the input transistor Q1, the current drawn from the tested point is 0.
Therefore, the embodiment of the invention arranges the compensation transistor Q2 and the current mirror 110 in the input bias current compensation circuit, so as to compensate the base bias current of the input transistor Q1, thereby improving the measurement accuracy.
Optionally, on the basis of the above embodiment, the current mirror 110 is a mirror proportion adjustable current mirror, and the mirror proportion of the current mirror 110 is a set value.
The current mirror 110 used in the embodiment of the present invention is a proportional adjustable current mirror, which can output a corresponding current according to a set proportion. By using the proportional adjustable current mirror, when there is a difference between the base current of the input transistor Q1 and the base current of the compensation transistor Q2, the base current of the input transistor Q1 can also be compensated by setting the proportional mirror to compensate the base current of the transistor Q2. The arrangement reduces the influence caused by the difference between the transistors, is favorable for setting the current extracted from the tested point to be 0, and further improves the accuracy of measurement.
Optionally, on the basis of the above embodiment, the compensation transistor Q2, the input transistor Q1, and the current mirror 110 are integrated in the same chip, and may be prepared in the same process, and process errors of the transistors are relatively close to each other, which is beneficial to improving process accuracy and improving measurement accuracy. Illustratively, the input transistor Q1 and the compensation transistor Q2 are transistors of the same type, and are equal in size and size, and the mirror ratio of the current mirror 110 is 1:1, can also play a better compensation effect. The arrangement can reduce the volume of the input bias current compensation circuit, so that the input bias current compensation circuit can be applied to the environment with limited space, and the use scene is expanded.
Alternatively, on the basis of the above embodiment, the distance between the compensation transistor Q2 and the input transistor Q1 is smaller than the preset distance. Specifically, the preset distance may be set as needed, so that the compensation transistor Q2 and the input transistor Q1 are located very close to each other on the chip. The arrangement is such that during chip processing, the compensation transistor Q2 and the input transistor Q1 can be in the same temperature environment, which is less affected by process fluctuation, so as to reduce the influence caused by process and temperature errors.
Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of another input bias current compensation circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 2, the input bias current compensation circuit further includes:
the impedance isolation module 210, the impedance isolation module 210 is connected in series between the base of the input transistor Q1 and the current mirror 110; the impedance isolation module 210 is used for impedance isolation from the input terminal. The input impedance is the equivalent impedance of the input terminal in the circuit, and the input impedance reflects the magnitude of the current blocking effect. The impedance isolation is to connect the upper circuit and the lower circuit into impedance to isolate the two circuits and reduce the influence between the two circuits. The impedance isolation module 210 is connected in series between the current mirror 110 and the base of the input transistor Q1, which is equivalent to increasing the input impedance of the circuit, thereby performing impedance isolation. Such an arrangement can reduce the influence of the current mirror 110 on the input stage characteristics of the input transistor Q1.

Fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of another input bias current compensation circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 3 and 4, the impedance isolation module 210 includes: the first resistor R1, the first resistor R1 is connected in series between the base of the input transistor Q1 and the current mirror 110.
Specifically, the input impedance is an equivalent impedance of an input terminal in the circuit, and the input impedance reflects the magnitude of the current blocking effect. The resistor acts as a barrier to current flow in the circuit and is also an impedance. A first resistor R1 is connected in series between the current mirror 110 and the base of the input transistor Q1, which is equivalent to increasing the input impedance of the circuit, thereby performing impedance isolation.
Alternatively, the impedance isolation module 210 includes: the first current buffer Q3, the first current buffer Q3 is connected in series between the base of the input transistor Q1 and the current mirror 110, and the bias terminal of the first current buffer Q3 is connected to the first bias voltage.
Specifically, the voltage difference between the source and the drain of the first current buffer Q3 is variable, and the current passing through the first current buffer Q decreases as the voltage difference increases; the current passed increases as the voltage difference decreases. Therefore, the first current buffer Q3 can be made equivalent to a resistor, and the resistance value of the equivalent resistor can be adjusted by changing the voltage difference between the source and the drain.
The embodiment of the utility model provides a through set up first resistance R1 or first current buffer Q3 between input transistor Q1 and current mirror 110, increase the impedance between input transistor Q1 and current mirror 110, reduce electric capacity and/or impedance undersize in current mirror 110 to the influence of input transistor Q1 input stage characteristic.

an operating point stabilizing module 220, wherein the operating point stabilizing module 220 is connected in series between the base of the compensating transistor Q2 and the current mirror 110; the operating point stabilizing module 220 is used for stabilizing the dc operating points of the input transistor Q1 and the compensating transistor Q2.
Specifically, the dc operating point refers to a voltage between a base, a collector, and an emitter of the transistor having a predetermined relationship, and the dc operating point of the transistor can be guaranteed only when the voltages of the base, the collector, and the emitter of the transistor satisfy the predetermined relationship. For input transistor Q1, the arrangement of compensation transistor Q2 and current mirror 110 changes the collector and emitter voltages of input transistor Q1, possibly affecting its dc operating point to some extent. The embodiment of the invention can adjust the voltages of the collector and the emitter of the input transistor Q1 and the compensation transistor Q2 by arranging the working point stabilizing module, and the working points are required to be ensured to be in the safe working area of the transistors.
Illustratively, the collector voltage of the compensation transistor Q2 remains unchanged, but the base of the compensation transistor Q2 is controlled by the operating point stabilizing module 220, thereby affecting the emitter voltage of the compensation transistor Q2. Since the emitter voltage of the compensation transistor Q2 is the collector voltage of the input transistor Q1, the emitter voltage of the input transistor Q1 is the base voltage of the compensation transistor Q2 minus the base-emitter voltage of the compensation transistor Q2. Therefore, the dc operating point of the input transistor Q1 and the compensation transistor Q2 can be adjusted by the operating point stabilizing module 220. Such an arrangement can improve the operational stability of the input bias current compensation circuit.
