以下描述顯示了執行本發明的典型實施例。該描述僅係出於說明本發明的一般原理的目的,並且不意味著限制。本發明的範圍最好通過參考所附的申請專利範圍來確定。
第1圖為根據本發明實施例的動態放大器100的結構示意圖。其中該動態放大器100包括:電晶體輸入對102(簡稱輸入對102),以及一對負載電容C1和C2。一對差分輸入Vin與Vip通過電晶體輸入對102耦合至動態放大器100。連接在共模端(此示例中的GND)處的負載電容C1和C2用來將放大的信號呈現在一對差分輸出Vop與Von上。
動態放大器100操作於三個階段中,包括:重置 階段、放大階段和取樣階段。在重置階段中,差分輸出Vop與Von均重置為預定電平(在此示例中短路至地GND)。動態放大器100使用電流源104來為放大階段提供電流2I1。電流源104經由輸入對102(該輸入對102受差分輸入Vin和Vip控制)耦合至負載電容C1和C2。輸入對102包括:三個(連接)端n1,n2和n3。如所示,形成輸入對102的兩個電晶體的源極在連接端n1處彼此連接,形成輸入對102的兩個電晶體的汲極分別被視為連接端n2和n3,形成輸入對102的兩個電晶體的閘極分別用來接收差分輸入Vin和Vip。在放大階段,連接端n1耦合至電流源104,同時連接端n2耦合至負載電容C1以及連接端n3耦合至負載電容C2。如此,差分輸出Vop和Von的電壓電平變化。當差分輸出Vop和Von的共模電壓差達到預定的共模電壓差(以下表示為△Vcm)時,放大階段結束。在放大階段之後提供取樣階段來對差分輸出Vop和Von進行取樣。
如所示,特別地提供了一對旁路電流源106和108。旁路電流源106和108可操作地提供旁路電流I2。在放大階段中的旁路期間內,連接端n2和n3分別耦合至旁路電流源106和108,並且流過負載電容C1/C2的電流為(I1-I2)。為了通過減少電流來得到預定的共模電壓差△Vcm,延長放大階段以及在差分輸出Vop與Von之間形成更大的差。如此,由於旁路設計可以提供更大的增益。動態放大器100甚至在低電壓操作中也具有寬的信號擺幅。
在第1圖中,受控制信號CS_R控制的開關在重置 階段閉合,受控制信號CS_A控制的開關在放大階段閉合,以及受控制信號CSb控制的開關在放大階段內的旁路期間閉合。取樣階段設置在控制信號CS_A的使能狀態之後。第2圖示出了控制信號CS_R,CS_A以及CSb的波形以及差分輸出Vop與Von的變化。通過在重置階段T_R使能控制信號CS_R,負載電容C1和C2放電並且差分輸出Vop和Von均重置為地電平。在放大階段T_A,提供充電電流來對負載電容C1和C2進行充電,並且差分輸出Vop和Von的電壓電平升高。在旁路期間Tb之前,每個負載電容(C1或C2)的充電電流均為I1。在旁路期間Tb內,每個負載電容(C1或C2)的充電電流降低至(I1-I2)。當差分輸出Vop和Von的共模電壓達到預定的共模電壓差△Vcm時,放大階段T_A結束。取樣階段T_S設置在放大階段T_A之後。此處沒有示出用於對差分輸出Vop和Von進行取樣的取樣電路,但是任何的信號取樣設計均可以用來實現該取樣電路。動態放大器100的增益G為gm.△Vcm/(I1-I2.Tb/T_A),其中gm為輸入對102中每個電晶體的跨導。相比於沒有旁路設計的提供增益gm.△Vcm/I1的傳統動態放大器,動態放大器100通過簡單的旁路設計提供了更高的增益。
在一些典型實施例中,電流源106和108為可變電流源,均提供可變旁路電流I2。在一些典型實施例中,如果設計者接受負載電容C1和C2的慢的充電速度,那麼旁路期間Tb覆蓋整個放大階段T_A。當旁路期間Tb覆蓋整個放大階段T_A時,動態放大器100具有增益gm.△Vcm/(I1-I2),該增益大 於傳統動態放大器提供的有限的增益gm.△Vcm/I1。
在第3圖為根據本發明另一實施例的動態放大器300的結構。相比於第1圖的動態放大器100,第3圖中連接負載電容C1和C2的共模端為電源端VDD。第4圖示出了控制信號CS_R,CS_A和CSb的波形以及動態放大器300的差分輸出Vop和Von的變化。通過使控制信號CS_R在重置階段T_R使能,差分輸出Vop和Von均連接至電源電平(也標記為VDD)。在放大階段T_A,流過負載電容C1和C2的電流對負載電容C1和C2充電,並且差分輸出Vop和Von的電壓電平被拉下來。在放大階段T_A,旁路期間Tb之前流過每個負載電容(C1或C2)的電流為I1。在旁路期間Tb內,流過每個負載電容(C1或C2)的電流均降低至(I1-I2)。當差分輸出Vop和Von的共模電壓達到預定的共模電壓差△Vcm時,放大階段結束。取樣階段T_S設置在放大階段T_A之後。通過旁路設計(參考旁路電流I2)來有效地改善動態放大器300的增益G。
第5圖為根據本發明另一實施例的動態放大器500的結構。取代放電,連接在共模端GND的負載電容C1和C2在重置階段被預充電並且在放大階段放電。第6圖示出了控制信號CS_R,CS_A和CSb的波形以及動態放大器500的差分輸出Vop與Von的變化。通過在重置階段T_R使控制信號CS_R使能,負載電容C1和C2預充電並且差分輸出Vop與Von均連接至電源電平VDD。在放大階段T_A,提供放電電流以使負載電容C1和C2放電並且差分輸出Vop與Von的電壓電平 下降。在旁路期間Tb之前,每個負載電容(C1或C2)的放電電流均為I1。在旁路期間Tb,每個負載電容(C1或C2)的充電電流均降低至(I1-I2)。當差分輸出Vop與Von的共模電壓達到預定的共模電壓差△Vcm時,放大階段T_A結束。取樣階段T_S設置在放大階段T_A之後。通過旁路設計(參考旁路電流I2)來有效地改善動態放大器500的增益G。
任何在放大階段對一對負載電容使用旁路設計的動態放大器均考慮在本發明的範圍內。
本發明的動態放大器使用開關元件以及連接共模連接端至VDD或GND以移除不需要的靜態電流。
負載電路中形成的負載電容對C1和C2可以由其他電路來取代。任何耦合至共模端且能夠提供一對差分輸出Vop和Von的電路均可以用來替換該對負載電容C1和C2以形成負載電路。
形成驅動器的用於放大的電流源(如104)可以由其他能夠對信號放大提供驅動能力的電路來替換。
形成旁路電路的一對旁路電流源106和108可以由其他電路替代。任何能有效地降低負載電路的電流的電路均可以用來替換該對旁路電流源106和108,以形成旁路電路。
第7圖為根據本發明實施例的包含動態放大器702的晶片700的結構示意圖。動態放大器702使用本公開的旁路設計。晶片700進一步包括:前級電路704和後級電路706。前級電路704傳送差分輸入Vip和Vin至動態放大器702。後級電路706從動態放大器702接收差分輸出Vop和Von。
晶片700進一步包括:寄存器R_I2,用於設置由動態放大器702的旁路電流源提供的可變的旁路電流I2。晶片700進一步包括:寄存器R_Tb,用於設置動態放大器702中安排的旁路期間Tb。
以上所述僅為本發明的較佳實施例而已,並不用以限制本發明,凡在本發明的精神和原則之內所作的任何修改、等同替換和改進等,均應包含在本發明的保護範圍之內。
