Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a voltage peak detector, and more particularly to a precision amplifier, a current mirror, a control transistor, and a capacitor for obtaining accuracy Complementary metal oxide half (CMOS) electronic circuits with voltage peaks and low power consumption. [Prior Art] An electric G peak nucleus is an electronic circuit capable of measuring the maximum value of a voltage waveform. The input of the side circuit is a varying voltage signal, and the output is the input voltage wave. Maximum value. In many applications, the peak value of the input voltage signal must be measured and then retained in DC mode for subsequent analysis and use. The peak value of a burst is often more useful than its average value. For example, when performing a destructive test, it is necessary to trace and maintain the peak health, and measure the attenuation of voltage on the transmission age, analogy Bit conversion (趟)(^)·^), maximum approximate decoding secret (maximum likdihGGd deeQding (4), and pulse signal detection circuit for detecting nuclear light shots, etc. also need to use voltage peak detector. ... prior art (prior art) The simplest method of the voltage peak detector is to pass the input voltage signal through the diode and charge the capacitor to obtain the peak value of the input voltage waveform. As shown in the first figure, when the input voltage V (IN) When the voltage is higher than the voltage of the capacitor C, the diode D is turned on, and the charging function is performed until the input 赖v(4) reaches its maximum value, and the capacitor kai can no longer be charged. At this time, the output voltage V(〇UT) indicates that the input is tMv ( lN) The value of the bee. Since there is a diode D between the output and the input, this circuit cannot accurately detect the true peak value of the input [V(IN). For Lu, the voltage ν(〇υτ) Forever with the sound value of the input electric dust V (IN) In the diode conduction voltage Vd of the error. The i.e. '_ The second line shows coffee d implicit transient analysis simulation results). And ^, the error of the above-mentioned diode on-voltage Vd is undesired, and it may be different or not unpredictable because of the difference in the use of different diodes. ~曰1301894 In order to be able to miscellaneous inspectors, another kind of phase first consists of two operational amplifiers 〇P1 and tender, two diodes m 2, two electric 'f with R2' and a capacitor HC is used to form a voltage peak detector, such as the third rider, & = PSpice transient analysis simulation results, such as the fourth ride. Where 〇ρι is - earning wave rectifier, when the input voltage _) is greater than the capacitor voltage v(c), the diode (10) transmits the bias = the capacitor α enters the charging, and finally the capacitor depends on v(c) The peak of V(IN) is quite close to 'the detected output voltage ν(ουτ) will also be the same as the input voltage =) When it is close to 'there will no longer be between the output and the input as shown in the second figure. There is an error of a diode ^ voltage Vd. When the input 赖ν(4) is smaller than the capacitance ^^ will turn on, the diode transfer will be cut off and the capacitor c will not be charged 2; ^= θ The detected output voltage ν(ουτ) will be equal to the input voltage V(IN) The peak voltage of ). Although the Gaudí Peak Voltage Detection II can accurately detect the peak value, its circuit structure is complicated = the chip area is large, which is not conducive to the requirements of the integrated circuit. The technique used by ' so far has been proposed, for example, US 5304939 ^ 5502746 ^ 5546027 ^ 5969545 ^ 6051998 ^ 6064238 , : 64^28^Γ , and the Republic of China Patent Case No. 476418 ^ 5 children accurately inspect the money of the food dragon, but the technology can: = operational amplifier, so there is a complex circuit structure ^ proposed, for example, the Chinese people _ case public surgery is shown), the number, the first aid _, The _9 == five maps - the circuit composed of the current mirror to replace the Yun 2 ^, with a differential amplifier and therefore, with a simple circuit structure, two without using an operational amplifier, multiple functions.

The source of the SPMOS transistor MP3 and the fourth PMOS transistor MP4 are both connected to the power supply voltage Vdd, and the gate is connected to the gate, and is connected to the pole of the first-side transistor MN1, and the gate The third PM〇S transistor Mp3 is connected to the poleless pole to form a current mirror configuration; further, the fourth rigid tantalum 8 transistor 4 has a junction with the capacitor C And forming the output of the voltage peak detector, and the capacitor.

In order to facilitate the discovery of the thorns of the 'machi, the gold-oxygen semi-transistor is the simplest of the 〇rCAD PSpice, and the length of the channel is light (ehannd (four) h m〇dulation) effect. However, in the subsequent simulation verification, Bellows considered all the crystal crystal parameters in the kiss (including, of course, the channel length modulation effect). It is known from the circuit shown in FIG. 7 that when the input signal V(IN) is greater than the capacitor voltage V(C), the current Id (MN1) is greater than -id (MP2), wherein the current flowing into the transistor takes a positive sign. The current flowing out of the transistor is taken as a negative sign, that is, the current Id(MN1) represents the first difficult (10) transistor MN1; and the Id (MP2) represents the outgoing PM2s.

"This W's Dragon Peak Detector can explain how the invention reduces power consumption. First, compare the electric power peak-to-peak detector disk of the Patent No. 517161: China's Republic of China's example In the prior art shown in FIG. 5, the third NM〇S transistor used in the present invention is connected to the source of the power supply 1301894 and the gate of the second NMOS transistor MN3. The voltage blame is equal to the power supply voltage vdd. In contrast, the PMOS current source ip used to provide a current to the differential amplifier 1 is composed of a PM0S transistor and is designed in the form of a diode, which is also intended as a current of PM〇s. The source Ip is used. The gate of the PM0S transistor is connected to the gate and connected to the ground. Therefore, the absolute value of the source voltage of the PM0S transistor gate used as the PMOS current source IP is strange. The third NMOS transistor is smaller than the fifth figure, and the PM s current source lp used to provide the current to the differential amplifier 1 is composed of a pM 〇s transistor. And the fifth riding silk technique is used to provide - current subtraction The third NMOS transistor MN3 used by the device is composed of -NM〇s transistors, and the transconductance parameter of the pM〇s transistor is usually smaller than the mutual conductance parameter of the nm〇s transistor (transconductance). The parameter KP represents a MOS semi-transistor model parameter in OrCAD pspice), so in the case of providing current to the differential amplifier, the transistor has a side effective channel width/length ratio, It has lower power consumption than the previous technique shown in Figure 5. • Next, compare the voltage peak detection 之中 of the Republic of China Announcement No. 62 专利 专利 ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ 第七 第七 第七 第七 第七 第七 第七 第七 第七 第七 第七 第七In the prior art, the gate of the third transistor 8 used to supply the current to the differential amplifier i is connected to the output terminal of the control transistor 3, which is designed as a diode ^ Equation 1* is connected between the input terminal of the voltage peak detector and the gate of the third NMQS transistor MN3.
