Description

具指定編碼之數位類比轉換器Digital analog converter with specified code

本發明是關於一種數位類比轉換器,特別是關於一種具指定編碼之數位類比轉換器。The present invention relates to a digital analog converter, and more particularly to a digital analog converter having a specified code.

邁入數位化時代的今日,資訊多以數位訊號的型態進行傳輸,但由於數位訊號僅有低電位及高電位之間的變化,使用者並無法直接地解讀數位訊號中所包含的內容,因此,須藉由數位類比轉換器將數位訊號轉換為類比訊號,讓使用者得知訊號中的訊息為何。此外,由於當今訊號的傳遞速度不斷地朝向高速發展,使得數位類比轉換器須具備有高精度、高解析度及高速度之規格。Today, in the era of digitalization, information is mostly transmitted in the form of digital signals. However, since digital signals have only changes between low potential and high potential, users cannot directly interpret the contents contained in digital signals. Therefore, the digital signal is converted into an analog signal by a digital analog converter, so that the user can know the information in the signal. In addition, due to the rapid development of today's signal transmission speed, digital analog converters must have high precision, high resolution and high speed specifications.

電流源結構之數位類比轉換器主要是用以實現高速度的要求,二進制加權式數位類比轉換器為電流源結構中最直接的轉換方式,其藉由改變電流單元之電晶體大小,產生依二進制排列的加權電流,而能直接以二進制的數位訊號進行對應位元之電晶體的控制,使數位類比轉換器能輸出數位訊號對應大小之電流並轉換為電壓,而達成數位類比之轉換,但由於二進制加權式在中間碼的轉換過程可能會導致所有的電晶體都進行切換,例如由10000…0切換至01111…1,每個位元都改變了電位,倘若最高位元之電晶體尚未切換但其他位元之電晶體已完成切換時,輸出電流將產生突波,而影響後端電子設備。最好的解決方式是讓所有的電流單元之延遲完全匹配,但由於每個電流單元之電晶體大小不同,相當難達成這樣的設定。The digital analog converter of the current source structure is mainly used to achieve high speed requirements. The binary weighted digital analog converter is the most direct conversion method in the current source structure, which changes the transistor size of the current unit to generate binary The weighted current is arranged, and the transistor of the corresponding bit can be directly controlled by the binary digital signal, so that the digital analog converter can output the current corresponding to the digital signal and convert it into a voltage, thereby achieving digital analog conversion, but Binary weighting in the conversion process of the intermediate code may cause all the transistors to switch, for example, switch from 10000...0 to 01111...1, each bit changes the potential, if the transistor of the highest bit has not been switched yet When the transistors of other bits have been switched, the output current will generate a surge that affects the back-end electronics. The best solution is to have a full match of the delays of all current cells, but it is quite difficult to achieve such a setting due to the different transistor sizes of each current cell.

因此,另一種溫度計碼數位類比轉換器可解決這樣的問題,由於溫度計碼於數值變動時僅會改變兩個位元,而可有效地避免電流單元切換時序不一致所衍生之突波問題,但溫度計碼數位類比切換器的缺點在於其所需的電流單元極多,造成整體之溫度計碼數位類比轉換器的佈局面積難以縮小。Therefore, another thermometer code digital analog converter can solve such a problem, because the thermometer code only changes two bits when the value changes, and can effectively avoid the surge problem caused by the inconsistent current unit switching timing, but the thermometer The disadvantage of the code-to-digital analog switcher is that it requires a large number of current units, making it difficult to reduce the layout area of the overall thermometer code digital analog converter.

本發明的主要目的在於以一種非二進制之指定編碼進行電流單元的控制,可減少所需切換的電流單元數量,並搭配溫度計碼之電流源避免電流突波的產生,且由於指定編碼所需之電流單元較溫度計碼所需之電流單元少,可降低整體數位類比轉換器的佈局面積。The main object of the present invention is to control the current unit by a non-binary designated code, which can reduce the number of current units required to be switched, and cooperate with the current source of the thermometer code to avoid the generation of current surge, and because of the specified coding required The current unit requires less current cells than the thermometer code, which reduces the layout area of the overall digital analog converter.

本發明之一種具指定編碼之數位類比轉換器包含一溫度計碼行解碼器、一溫度計碼列解碼器、一溫度計碼電流源陣列、一指定編碼解碼器及一指定編碼電流源陣列,該溫度計碼行解碼器接收一行控制編碼並進行解碼而輸出一行控制訊號,該溫度計碼列解碼器接收一列控制編碼並進行解碼而輸出一列控制訊號,該溫度計碼電流源陣列耦接該溫度計碼行解碼器及該溫度計碼列解碼器,以接收該行控制訊號及該列控制訊號,該指定編碼解碼器接收一指定編碼並進行解碼而輸出一指定編碼控制訊號,該指定編碼電流源陣列耦接該指定編碼解碼器,以接收該指定編碼控制訊號,其中該指定編碼為一非二進制編碼。A digital analog converter with a specified code of the present invention comprises a thermometer code line decoder, a thermometer code column decoder, a thermometer code current source array, a designated code decoder and a designated code current source array, the thermometer code The row decoder receives a row of control codes and decodes and outputs a row of control signals.

Since the digital analog converter with the specified code retains the thermometer code and the specified coding advantage at the same time, Compared with the binary coded analog-to-digital converter, the digital analog converter with the specified code of the invention can reduce the maximum number of switching times of the current unit, so as to avoid the problem of current surge caused by the inconsistent delay time of the current unit switching.
