Definitions
- the field of the invention is that of pulse generation devices for current, also called charge pumps.
- the invention relates to a pulse generation device low noise current.
- the invention applies in particular, but not exclusively, to the generation low noise current pulses for a phase comparator included in a synthesizer of a radiocommunication terminal.
- each device of this type includes means for generation of current pulses, cooperating with polarization means.
- the bias means supply bias voltage to the generating means of current pulses.
- a device for generating current pulses with switched current mirror (cf. FIG. 1) generates current pulses by means of a controlled switching of the switching means ⁇ and ⁇ .
- Such controlled switching is carried out at a frequency which depends on the frequency of the desired pulses.
- two successive phases are implemented. During a first phase, the switching means ⁇ are closed and the switching means ⁇ are open, so as to create at output (at the source of the transistor means for generating current pulses), a current flow.
- the algebraic value of the current corresponds, for this first type of device, to that of the current leaving the source of the transistor of the biasing means.
- the switching means ⁇ are open and the switching means ⁇ are closed, so as to block the flow of current.
- these two phases are repeated at a frequency equal to that sought for the current pulses at output and corresponding to that imposed by the command to open and close the switching means.
- the device for generating current pulses with a cascoded current source (cf. FIG. 2), it generates current pulses by means of controlled switching by the switching means alone. ⁇ .
- Such controlled switching is implemented at a frequency depending on that of the desired pulses.
- the switching means ⁇ are in the open position, this state allows, at the output (at the source of the cascoded transistor), a current flow.
- the switching means ⁇ are in the closed position, so as to block the flow of current at the output.
- these two phases are, as for the first type of device, repeated at a frequency equal to that sought for the current pulses at output and corresponding to that imposed by the command of the switches.
- the polarization means of these two different types of devices of current pulse generation generate unwanted noise. Indeed, the elements included in these polarization means do not exhibit behavior ideal and therefore generate noise. Such noise (especially that due to the source or sources of current and that due to the imperfections of the various elements included in the means of polarization) is recovered by the means for generating current pulses and also transmitted, possibly amplified, downstream of the latter means.
- the biasing means have a feed rejection which is also annoying. In fact, an insufficient feed rejection disturbs the majority of the elements located downstream of the polarization means.
- Another known solution consists in using a logic circuit with low injection of loads.
- this other solution is also not very advantageous because it is difficult compatible with a system whose size is sought to be reduced. Indeed, such logic circuit with low charge injection requires the addition of new elements.
- the present invention aims in particular to overcome these different disadvantages of the state of the art.
- one of the objectives of the present invention is to provide a current pulse generation device allowing its integration into the system that uses it.
- An additional objective of the invention is to provide such a device making it possible to greatly reduce or even eliminate the various noises generated by the polarization means.
- Another object of the invention is to provide such a device allowing its simple manufacturing.
- An additional objective is to provide such a device making it possible to optimize manufacturing costs.
- the general principle of the invention therefore rests on the isolation of the means of polarization with respect to the means for generating current pulses, when a impulse must be generated.
- the invention proposes a simple architecture which can easily be integrated in the system that uses it.
- said polarization means and said means of generation together form a basic structure belonging to the group comprising: a switched current mirror and a cascoded current source.
- the present invention can be implemented in particular with the two large families of current pulse generation devices.
- said basic structure is split, so as to ability to generate positive and / or negative pulses.
- said means of maintenance include at least one capacitive element.
- said means of holding are constituted at least in part by the gate capacitance of a MOS transistor included in said generation means.
- Such a characteristic has the advantage, compared to the first mode of realization, to require no additional components for a basic structure of the cascoded current source type.
- said switching means comprise at least one switching transistor.
- said means for switching further comprises at least one filter resistor connected in parallel on said at least one switching transistor.
- Such a characteristic also makes it possible to reduce the number of pulses necessary to reach the value of the amplitude of the desired current. In other words, this allows faster start-up.
- MOS transistor for "Metal Oxide Semiconductor” in English
- parasitic elements of this transistor prevent ideal switching. It's this resistor mounted in parallel on the switching transistor which largely overcomes to the influences of parasitic elements.
- the invention also relates to a phase comparator comprising a current pulse generation device according to the invention, as mentioned above.
- the present invention relates to a synthesizer comprising a phase comparator according to the invention, as mentioned above.
- the terminal having a rest phase and an activity phase can implement the device for generating low noise current pulses according to the invention.
- the rest phase is advantageously used so that the holding means acquire the bias voltage, with the switching means in closed position.
- the activity phase it benefits from the isolation of the means of maintaining the biasing means with the switching means in position opened.
- the invention therefore relates to a device for generating current pulses. allowing to considerably reduce the influence of the different noises generated by the polarization means in particular on the system which uses it.
- a device for generating current pulses comprises polarization means 31 and means 33 for generating current pulses. These polarization means 31 deliver a polarization voltage to the means 33 for generation of current pulses via switching means 321.
- the means 31 polarization and the generation means 33 together form a basic structure to switched current mirror.
- the polarization means 31 comprise means 311 for creating current and a source 312 of current.
- These current creation means 311 may be a MOS transistor T 1 , the source of which is connected to the supply voltage V DD , the gate is connected to the switching means 321 and the drain is connected to the current source 312.
- the transistor T 1 generates a noise current source 314 of the transistor T 1 and the current source 312 generates a noise current source 313 of the current source 312.
- the generation means 33 comprise means 331 for creating current as well as switching means 322a, 322b.
- the current creation means 331 can be a voltage-controlled MOS transistor T 2 .
- a bias voltage is present at the input (that is to say on the gate of the transistor T2); the transistor T 2 is conducting and the current leaving the source of the transistor T 2 is therefore equal in amplitude to the value of the current passing through the source of the transistor T 1 of the biasing means 31.
- the switching means 322a, 322b are respectively open and closed, the supply voltage V DD is present at the input (on the gate of transistor T 2 ); the transistor T 2 is blocked and the current leaving the drain of the transistor T 2 is canceled. In this way, the switching means 322a, 322b are alternately closed and open to generate a train of current pulses.
- the holding means 34 make it possible to record and keep in memory the bias voltage. It is this bias voltage which allows the control of the current pulse generation means 33.
- the holding means 34 apply the bias voltage at the input of the transistor T 2 , this causes the appearance of an output current at the drain of this transistor T 2 . This generates a current pulse.
- the holding means 34 and the generation means 33 are disconnected from the biasing means 31.
- the generation means 33 can generate one or more noise-free current pulses coming from the noise current sources 313 and 314 of the transistor T 1 and of the current source.
- the switching means 322a, 322b respectively close and open, the supply voltage is applied to the input of the gate of the transistor T 2 which becomes blocked and no longer lets the current pass. In other words, the drain current of transistor T 2 is canceled and causes the output current to return to zero. This operation is maintained by alternating switching of the means 322a and 322b for switching at the frequency of the desired current pulses.
- the switching means 321, 322a and 322b advantageously comprise each a switching transistor.
- These holding means 34 advantageously comprise at least one element capacitive.
- this basic structure of the switched current mirror type can be duplicated, in a manner known to those skilled in the art, so as to be able to generate positive current pulses and / or negative current pulses.
- a device for generating current pulses comprises polarization means 41 and means 43 for generating current pulses. These polarization means 41 deliver a polarization voltage to the means 43 for generation of current pulses via switching means 421.
- the means 41 polarization and the generation means 43 together form a basic structure to cascoded current source.
- the biasing means 41 comprise means 311 for creating current and a source 312 of current described for the first embodiment.
- these elements namely the MOS transistor T 1 and the current source 312, themselves have parasitic elements which respectively generate a source 314 of noise current from transistor T 1 and a source 313 of noise current of the current source 312.
- the gate and the drain of the transistor T 1 are connected.
- the generation means 43 comprise means 431 and 432 for creating current as well as switching means 421 and 422.
- the means 431 for creating current can be a voltage-controlled MOS transistor T 2 .
- the means 432 for creating current can also be a MOS transistor T 3 .
- the gate of transistor T 2 is connected to the switching means 421.
- the source of this same transistor T 2 is connected to the supply voltage.
- the drain of transistor T 2 is connected, on the one hand to the source of this transistor T 3 , and on the other hand, to switching means 422.
- the gate of transistor T 3 is connected to a DC voltage supply source delivering a bias voltage. The output of this current pulse generation device takes place on the drain of this transistor T 3 .
- the holding means 44 record the bias voltage applied to its terminals. In this way, once the switching means 421 are in the open position, the bias voltage maintained across the terminals of the holding means 44 is applied to the input of transistor T 2 . This has the effect that the transistor T 2 lets pass the current which is found at the output at the drain of this transistor T 2 .
- the gate of the transistor T 3 being connected to the bias voltage, if the switching means 422 are open, the transistor T 3 turns on. This causes a rise in output current at the drain of transistor T 3 . When the switching means 422 close, the transistor T 3 goes into blocked mode. It follows, at the output, a fallout of the current.
- Such a basic structure can also be split, in a manner known from those skilled in the art, to generate positive and / or negative impulses.
- the switching means 421 and 422 comprise at least one switching transistor and the holding means 44 comprise at least one capacitive element.
- the holding means 44 can also be constituted at least in part by the gate capacitance of the MOS transistor T 2 included in the generation means 431. This has the advantage of saving at least one component, since no additional element is to be added.
- the switching means 421 consist of a switching transistor
- they comprise at least one filter resistor 45 mounted in parallel on this transistor. That is to say, this filter resistor 45 is connected between the drain and the source of the switching transistor.
- this filter resistor 45 is connected between the drain and the source of the switching transistor.
- the relatively small value of the resistor 45 (10 times lower for example than that of R dsoff of the switching transistor) also makes it possible to reduce the value of the equivalent resistance of these two resistors in parallel. Consequently, the current at the output of the transistor increases more in intensity than if the filtering resistor 45 is not present. This has the effect of reducing the number of pulses required to obtain a current pulse having a fixed amplitude equal to that of the current pulses of the current pulse train established as illustrated in FIG. 5.
- a train 54 established of current pulses not tainted with noise is generated for example by virtue of the variant described above.
- This train 54 established of current pulses has an amplitude I 0 as well as a period T imposed by the rhythm of the switching means 422 (see FIG. 4).
- a transition zone 51 is necessary to reach this train 54 of current pulses.
- Such a transition zone 51 corresponds to a gradual rise in the amplitudes of the current pulses located in this zone 51.
- a first current pulse 52 and a second current pulse 53 have respectively an amplitude I 1 and I 2 different from that of train 54 established with current pulses I 0 .
- the number is reduced of current pulses 52 and 53 necessary for establishing the amplitude of train 54 of current pulses.
- a device for generating low noise current pulses can be included in the output stage of a phase comparator, itself included in a frequency synthesizer.
- Such a device can for example be used in a terminal radio communication.
- the means 321 or 421 of switching can be in the setting position (closed position).
- these switching means 321 or 421 can be in the position of operation (open position).
