Description

本発明は、光通信システム及び無線通信システム等に用いられる発振装置に関し、特に、発振信号を外部装置等の負荷に供給するためのバッファ回路を有する発振装置に関する。   The present invention relates to an oscillation device used in an optical communication system, a wireless communication system, and the like, and more particularly, to an oscillation device having a buffer circuit for supplying an oscillation signal to a load such as an external device.

図3に示されるように、従来の発振装置OSC10は、発振回路10(例えば、コルピッツ型発振回路)により生成された、発振周波数f(例えば、数百MHz)を有する発振信号S10を、増幅回路20(例えば、エミッタ接地増幅回路)により増幅し、更に、下記の特許文献1に記載されているように、CMOSインバータ回路30によりバッファリングした後、容量Cpの容量性負荷C10を有する外部装置EXT10に供給する。ここで、CMOSインバータ回路30の出力インピーダンスZ0は、Z0=1/(2πf・Cp)により与えられる。   As shown in FIG. 3, the conventional oscillation device OSC10 is configured to amplify an oscillation signal S10 having an oscillation frequency f (for example, several hundred MHz) generated by an oscillation circuit 10 (for example, Colpitts type oscillation circuit). 20 (for example, grounded-emitter amplifier circuit) and further buffered by the CMOS inverter circuit 30 as described in Patent Document 1 below, and then the external device EXT10 having the capacitive load C10 having the capacity Cp. To supply. Here, the output impedance Z0 of the CMOS inverter circuit 30 is given by Z0 = 1 / (2πf · Cp).

しかしながら、上記した従来の発振装置OSC10では、上記の式から明らかなように、前記容量性負荷C10の容量Cpの増大に伴い、前記CMOSインバータ回路30の出力インピーダンスZ0が小さくなり、加えて、発振信号S10の発振周波数fの高周波化に伴い、出力インピーダンスZ0がより小さくなり、結果的に、発振信号S10の発振周波数fが高いほど、当該発振信号S10の波形がより鈍るという問題があった。   However, in the above-described conventional oscillation device OSC10, as apparent from the above equation, as the capacitance Cp of the capacitive load C10 increases, the output impedance Z0 of the CMOS inverter circuit 30 decreases, and in addition, the oscillation As the oscillation frequency f of the signal S10 is increased, the output impedance Z0 becomes smaller. As a result, the higher the oscillation frequency f of the oscillation signal S10, the more dull the waveform of the oscillation signal S10.

本発明に係る発振装置は、上記した課題を解決すべく、(1)発振信号を生成する発振回路と、(2)前記生成された発振信号を増幅する増幅回路と、(3)相互に並列接続された複数のCMOSバッファ回路であって、当該複数のCMOSバッファ回路の入力端が一つに接続されており、当該複数のCMOSバッファ回路の出力端が一つに接続されており、各CMOSバッファ回路が前記増幅された発振信号をバッファリングする前記複数のCMOSバッファ回路と、を含む。   In order to solve the above-described problems, an oscillation device according to the present invention includes: (1) an oscillation circuit that generates an oscillation signal; (2) an amplification circuit that amplifies the generated oscillation signal; and (3) parallel to each other. A plurality of connected CMOS buffer circuits, wherein the input ends of the plurality of CMOS buffer circuits are connected to one; the output ends of the plurality of CMOS buffer circuits are connected to one; And a plurality of CMOS buffer circuits for buffering the amplified oscillation signals.

本発明に係る発振装置によれば、相互に並列接続された前記複数のCMOSバッファ回路が、それぞれ、前記発振信号をバッファリングし、CMOSバッファ回路1つ当たりが賄うべき容量性負荷が、従来のような1つのCMOSバッファ回路が賄うべき容量性負荷に比して小さくなる。この結果、前記複数のCMOSバッファ回路のそれぞれの出力インピーダンスを従来に比して大きくすることができ、これにより、発振信号の発振周波数が高くても、当該発振信号の波形が鈍ることを抑えることが可能となる。   According to the oscillation device of the present invention, the plurality of CMOS buffer circuits connected in parallel to each other buffer the oscillation signal, and the capacitive load to be covered by one CMOS buffer circuit is a conventional load. Such a CMOS buffer circuit is smaller than the capacitive load to be covered. As a result, the output impedance of each of the plurality of CMOS buffer circuits can be increased as compared with the conventional one, thereby suppressing the waveform of the oscillation signal from becoming dull even when the oscillation frequency of the oscillation signal is high. Is possible.

本発明に係る発振装置の実施例について図面を参照して説明する。   Embodiments of an oscillation device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

図1は、実施例の発振装置の構成を示す。実施例の発振装置OSC1は、図1に示されるように、外部装置EXT1に発振信号S1を供給すべく、発振回路1と、増幅回路2と、CMOSバッファ回路である2つのCMOSインバータ回路3a、3bを含む。   FIG. 1 shows the configuration of the oscillator according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the oscillation device OSC1 according to the embodiment includes an oscillation circuit 1, an amplification circuit 2, and two CMOS inverter circuits 3a as CMOS buffer circuits to supply an oscillation signal S1 to the external device EXT1. 3b is included.

発振回路1は、例えば、水晶振動子(図示せず)を有するコルピッツ発振回路やハートレー発振回路からなり、発振周波数fを有する発振信号S1を生成する。   The oscillation circuit 1 includes, for example, a Colpitts oscillation circuit or a Hartley oscillation circuit having a crystal resonator (not shown), and generates an oscillation signal S1 having an oscillation frequency f.

増幅回路2は、例えば、エミッタ接地型増幅回路やベース接地型増幅回路からなり、前記発振回路1により生成された発振信号S1を増幅する。   The amplifier circuit 2 includes, for example, a grounded emitter amplifier circuit and a grounded base amplifier circuit, and amplifies the oscillation signal S1 generated by the oscillation circuit 1.

2つのCMOSインバータ回路3a、3bは、相互に並列接続されており、それぞれ、増幅回路2により増幅された発振信号S1をバッファリングした後、即ち、発振信号S1に波形整形を施した後、発振装置OSC10の出力端から、1つの発振信号S1として外部装置EXT1に出力する。外部装置EXT1は、図1に示されるように、容量性負荷C1(容量Cp)を有する。2つのCMOSインバータ回路3a、3bは、当該容量性負荷C1を分担することにより、CMOSインバータ回路3a、3bの各々は、容量性負荷C1の1/2を担当することになる。ここで、CMOSインバータ回路3a、3bの出力インピーダンスZ1は、Z1=1/(2πf・(1/2・Cp))で与えられる。CMOSインバータ回路3a、3bの出力インピーダンスZ1は、図3に図示した従来の発振装置OSC10の出力インピーダンスZ0、即ち、1/(2πf・Cp)に比較して大きくなることから、発振周波数fがたとえ高くても、発振信号S1の波形を従来の発振信号S10の波形に比して鋭くすることが可能となる。   The two CMOS inverter circuits 3a and 3b are connected in parallel to each other, and each of them oscillates after buffering the oscillation signal S1 amplified by the amplifier circuit 2, that is, after shaping the oscillation signal S1. From the output terminal of the device OSC10, the oscillation signal S1 is output to the external device EXT1. As shown in FIG. 1, the external device EXT1 has a capacitive load C1 (capacitance Cp). The two CMOS inverter circuits 3a and 3b share the capacitive load C1, so that each of the CMOS inverter circuits 3a and 3b is responsible for 1/2 of the capacitive load C1. Here, the output impedance Z1 of the CMOS inverter circuits 3a and 3b is given by Z1 = 1 / (2πf · (1/2 · Cp)). The output impedance Z1 of the CMOS inverter circuits 3a and 3b is larger than the output impedance Z0 of the conventional oscillation device OSC10 shown in FIG. 3, that is, 1 / (2πf · Cp). Even if it is high, the waveform of the oscillation signal S1 can be made sharper than the waveform of the conventional oscillation signal S10.

《変形例》
図2は、変形例の発振装置の構成を示す。変形例の発振装置OSC2は、図2に示されるように、実施例1の発振装置OSC1と同様に、発振回路1と、増幅回路2とを含み、他方で、実施例1の発振装置OSC1と異なり、n個(3つ以上)の並列接続されたCMOSインバータ回路3a、3b、3c、...を含む。当該複数のCMOSインバータ回路3a、3b、3c、...の各々は、増幅回路2により増幅された発振信号S1をバッファリングする。これにより、当該複数のCMOSインバータ回路3a、3b、3c、...の各々の出力インピーダンスZ2は、Z2=1/(2πf・(1/n・Cp))により与えられる。当該出力インピーダンスZ2は、実施例の発振装置OSC1におけるCMOSインバータ回路3a、3bの出力インピーダンスZ1より大きいことから、変形例のCMOSインバータ回路3a、3b、3c、...が出力し合成する発振信号S1の発振周波数fが高くても、当該発振信号S1の波形を、実施例のCMOSインバータ回路3a、3bが出力し合成する発振信号S1の波形に比して、より一層鋭くすることが可能となる。
<Modification>
FIG. 2 shows a configuration of a modified oscillation device. As shown in FIG. 2, the oscillation device OSC2 according to the modification includes the oscillation circuit 1 and the amplification circuit 2 as in the oscillation device OSC1 according to the first embodiment. On the other hand, the oscillation device OSC1 according to the first embodiment In contrast, n (three or more) CMOS inverter circuits 3a, 3b, 3c,. . . including. The plurality of CMOS inverter circuits 3a, 3b, 3c,. . . Each buffer the oscillation signal S1 amplified by the amplifier circuit 2. Thereby, the plurality of CMOS inverter circuits 3a, 3b, 3c,. . .
