201015870 九、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明係有關類比至數位轉換器(ADC),特別是一種201015870 IX. Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to analog to digital converters (ADCs), particularly
I 逐漸逼近式(successive approximation register, SAR) 類比至數位轉換器,其具有二進制錯誤容忍機制。 【先前技術】 ❹ 類比至數位轉換器(ADC)有多種架構,例如快閃式 (flash)、管路式(pipelined)、逐漸逼近式等,為經常 使用的架構。這些架構各有各的優點,通常會依據不同的 應用需求來選定。其中,逐漸逼近式ADC較其他架構消耗 較低功率、較小面積及較低成本。然而,此架構需要較多 的時脈週期才能產出輸出,因此較不利於高速操作。 逐漸逼近式ADC主要分成兩種方式:二進制逼近及非 二進制逼近。二進制逼近ADC技術,如H^O-CHiao Hong' Guo-Ming Lee WA 65-fJ/Conversion-step 0.9-V 200-KS/s Rail-to-Rail 8-bit Successive Approximation ADC”,IEEE J. Solid-State Circuits, vol. 42,October 2007,pp. 2161-2168 所揭露者,其 201015870 使用數位至類比轉換器(DAC)以逐漸逼近取樣訊號,並 根據比較器的比較結果來決定下一狀態究竟是往上或往下 加一電壓,而每次改變的電壓量係以二的冪次方逐漸下 降。以此種二進制搜尋方式持續重複幾次操作以獲得相對 應的數位碼輸出。二進制逼近ADC技術也揭露於I is a progressive approximation register (SAR) analog to digital converter with a binary error tolerance mechanism. [Prior Art] ❹ Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have a variety of architectures, such as flash, pipelined, and gradual approximation, which are frequently used architectures. Each of these architectures has its own advantages and is often chosen for different application needs. Among them, the progressive approximation ADC consumes lower power, smaller area and lower cost than other architectures. However, this architecture requires more clock cycles to produce output and is therefore less advantageous for high speed operation. Gradual approximation ADCs are mainly divided into two ways: binary approximation and non-binary approximation. Binary approximation ADC technology, such as H^O-CHiao Hong' Guo-Ming Lee WA 65-fJ/Conversion-step 0.9-V 200-KS/s Rail-to-Rail 8-bit Successive Approximation ADC", IEEE J. Solid -State Circuits, vol. 42, Oct. 2007, pp. 2161-2168. The 201015870 uses a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to gradually approximate the sampled signal and determine the next state based on the comparison of the comparators. A voltage is applied upwards or downwards, and the amount of voltage changed each time is gradually decreased by a power of two. In this binary search mode, the operation is repeated several times to obtain a corresponding digital code output. Binary approximation ADC Technology is also exposed
Craninckx、G. van der Plas “A 65fJ/Conversion-Step 0-to-50MS/s 0-to-0.7mW 9b Charge-sharing SAR φ ADC in 90nm Digital CMOS”,ISSCC Dig. Tech. Papers ’ February 2007,pp. 246-247,其應用相同原 理,但係根據比較器兩端的電荷量差量來決定電荷量的增 加或減少,而每次改變的電荷量也是以二的冪次方逐漸下 降。以此種二進制搜尋方式持續重複幾次操作直到獲得相 對應的數位碼輸出。上述二進制逼近之兩種方法的操作速 度會受到限制,主要原因在於必須等到比較器兩端電壓或 參電荷穩定到小於1/2 LSB (亦即,1/2心1其中N為ADC 的解析度)’比較器才能進行比較動作,否則將造成取樣誤 差0 非二進制逼近ADC技術,如F. Kuttner “A 1.2-V 10-b 20-Msample/s nonbinary successive approximation ADC in 0.13-m CMOS”,IEEE Int. 201015870Craninckx, G. van der Plas “A 65fJ/Conversion-Step 0-to-50MS/s 0-to-0.7mW 9b Charge-sharing SAR φ ADC in 90nm Digital CMOS”, ISSCC Dig. Tech. Papers ' February 2007, Pp. 246-247, which applies the same principle, but determines the increase or decrease of the amount of charge according to the amount of charge difference between the two ends of the comparator, and the amount of charge changed each time gradually decreases by a power of two. The operation is repeated several times in this binary search mode until the corresponding digital code output is obtained. The above two methods of binary approximation will be limited in speed. The main reason is that the voltage across the comparator or the parametric charge must be stable to less than 1/2 LSB (ie, 1/2 centimeter 1 where N is the resolution of the ADC). ) 'Comparator can perform comparison action, otherwise it will cause sampling error 0 non-binary approximation ADC technology, such as F.

Dig. Tech. Papers, 2002, pp. 176-177. Unlike the binary approximation method, the non-binary approximation method does not approximate the power of two, but gradually decreases with a power of 185. This method has an error tolerance of approximately 12.7%, so samples can be sampled without a stable signal, which can shorten each clock cycle time; however, additional and complex digital correction mechanisms need to be added. Whether it is implemented as a logic circuit or a read-only memory, it takes power and circuit area. ❹ Given the shortcomings of traditional approaches to ADC architecture, a new ADC architecture is needed to maintain the advantages of traditional ADC architectures and avoid their shortcomings. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a new gradual approximation ® ADC that uses an error tolerance mechanism and a non-binary approximation method with high speed and binary error correction mechanism. A progressive approximation analog to digital converter (ADC) according to an embodiment of the invention 'an internal digital to analog converter (DAC) comprising a capacitor array having a capacitance value having a binary weight and at least one compensation capacitor configuration Among the capacitances of binary weights. The comparator receives and compares the sample input signal and the DAC round trip. Non-8 201015870 binary gradual approximation control circuit (4) sampling of the input signal, and according to the comparator's results (10) - (four) comparison of the signal or charge is not yet fully stable (such as stable ^ less two ... _, near-control The circuit is better than the second one. The second error is the tolerance of the error, and the corrector compensates the sampling error caused by the comparator. [Embodiment] The first figure shows that the octade is gradually approximating analog to digital converter (SARADC). First, an input (eg, non-inverting input) of the comparator 1〇 receives the sampled input signal I and is connected to the internal digit of the other input (eg, the reverse wheel) to the analog converter (Dac). Reset to the common mode voltage Vcj^ As shown, the dac is composed of electrical arrays (C7 i CG), which have a binary specific gravity m. Then, the comparator 1 compares the input signals. Vin and common mode power vcm to decide to add or subtract the v/4 voltage in the DAC (where V is the amplitude of the round signal). When the DAC reaches stability, the next comparison and decision are made. Until the round Can be approximated as: VCm ± V / 4 ± V / 8 ± V / 16 ± V / 32 ± V / 64 ± V / 128 ± V / 256 (where V is the amplitude of the input signal) 201015870 The second figure shows the implementation of the present invention For example, a single-ended progressive approximation ADC with a binary error tolerance mechanism. Although the embodiment uses an octet ADC as an example, the present invention is generally applicable to an n-bit ADC. In this embodiment, a progressive approximation ADC is used. Contains an internal DAC' consisting of a capacitor array (C7 to Clc) with non-binary specific gravity: C7=2C6=4C5=4C5c=8C4=16C3=16C3c=32C2=64C 1 =64Clc The approximating ADC further includes a comparator 20 that receives and compares the sampled input signal Vin and the DAC output. The gradual approximation control logic (SAR) 22 controls the sampling of the input signal Vin and controls according to the comparison result of the comparator 20. A series of comparisons, finally outputting the corresponding digital output for approximating the input signal Vin. In operation, first, an input of the comparator 20 (eg, a non-inverting input) receives the sample input signal Vin; and is connected to another The inside of an input (such as the inverting input) The digital to analog converter (DAC) is reset to the common mode voltage Vcm. As shown, the DAC is reset to the common mode voltage Vcm by connecting a switch in the DAC. Then the comparator 20 Comparing the input signal Vin with the common mode voltage Vcm to determine whether to add or subtract the V/4 voltage (where V is the amplitude of the input signal) in the DAC. In one embodiment, when the DAC circuit is stable to one bit accuracy ( However, when it is not fully stabilized, the control logic circuit (SAR) 22 is gradually approaching the comparison and decision of the next bit. Since the DAC signal is not completely stable, it will cause an error of V/4 (V/4*l/2+V/8). Since the remaining voltage change is approximately V/8 (V/16 V/32 V/64 V/128 V/256), ±V/8 must be added to compensate for this error. Repeat this operation until the lowest effective bit (LSB). The input signal can be approximated as:
Vcm±v/ 4土V/ 8土V/ 8 土V/16土V/16土V/ 3 2士V/ 3 2士V/ 64士 ❹ V/64土V/128土V/128土V/256土V/256 在另一實施例中(第二圖),當DAC電路穩定到二位 元精確度(而非前述的一位元)時,逐漸逼近控制邏輯電 路(SAR) 22即進入下一位元的比較及決定。由於DAC 訊號並未完全穩定,因而會造成3V/16(V/4*l/22+V/8) 的誤差量。由於剩餘的電壓改變量約為V/8(V/16±V/32 φ 土V/64土V/128土V/256),因此必須補上土V/16以補償該 誤差量。重複此操作直到最低有效位元(LSB)。輸入訊號 可近似為:Vcm±v/ 4 soil V/ 8 soil V/ 8 soil V/16 soil V/16 soil V/ 3 2 士V/ 3 2 士V/64士❹ V/64 soil V/128 soil V/128 soil V /256 soil V/256 In another embodiment (second diagram), when the DAC circuit is stable to two-bit accuracy (rather than the one-bit element described above), the control logic circuit (SAR) 22 is gradually approached. The comparison and decision of the next dollar. Since the DAC signal is not completely stable, it will cause an error of 3V/16 (V/4*l/22+V/8). Since the remaining voltage change is approximately V/8 (V/16 ± V / 32 φ soil V / 64 ± V / 128 ± V / 256), it is necessary to fill the soil V / 16 to compensate for the error. Repeat this operation until the least significant bit (LSB). The input signal can be approximated as:

For an 11 201015870 N-bit ADC, the DAC is stable to x-bit precision resampling, and the interval between the comparators starting from the start of the comparison and the start of the DAC is yAt (where ΔtsRCWi^), the Bay ij solution The time required for a piece of data Ttotal can be approximated as:

In general, for an η-bit ADC, the amount of compensation capacitor required can be expressed. It is [(n-2)/x], where [] is a Gaussian operation symbol, which takes an integer part of a value. In this embodiment, these compensation capacitors are configured in non-compensating capacitors in the following manner (C7, C6) Between C5, C4, C3, C2, C1 and C1): the first compensation capacitor (C5c). Configured in the third After (C5); the second compensation capacitor (C3c) is placed after the next second capacitor (C3); the third compensation capacitor parameter (Clc) is placed after the second capacitor (C1). The above optimization method can be applied to ADCs with different resolutions. Furthermore, for the larger resolution ADC 'the above optimization performance is better. The third figure illustrates the sampling waveform 31 corresponding to the first picture and Corresponding to the sampling waveform 32 of the second figure (x=2), eleven sampling binary values (ie, 1〇〇〇〇11111〇) indicated by brackets in the figure represent the output of the comparator 20 。. Then, this The bit output is processed by a binary error valley forensor after gradually approximating the control logic (SAR) 22 to produce an 8-bit digital output of the ADC to compensate for the sampling error. Although binary error tolerance in this embodiment The positivity device is located inside the gradual approximation control logic (SAR) 22, however, in other embodiments, it may also be located outside the gradual approximation control logic (SAR) 22. 13 201015870 For the ADC shown in the first figure ,its The output can be expressed as:
