- FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram of a detection circuit according to an embodiment to which the present invention is applied.
- This detection The circuit is for demodulating the AM-modulated wave signal, and is used for an AM radio receiver and the like.
- MOS-type FETs 1 and 2 whose source is grounded are provided inside the detection circuit.
- the gate terminals of these FETs 1 and 2 are connected to each other via a resistor 3 and one end of the resistor 3
- the AM-modulated wave signal is input via the capacity 4.
- the drain terminals of these two FETs 1 and 2 are connected to the power supply terminal Vdd via resistors 5 and 6, respectively.
- a single-pass filter 20 including a resistor 7 and a capacitor 8 is connected to the drain terminal of one FET 2, and a detected signal is output from the single-pass filter 20.
- the output of the single-pass filter 20 is amplified by, for example, a low-frequency amplifier circuit (not shown), and then outputted from a speaker (not shown).
- FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating the principle of a current mirror circuit. As shown in the figure, the current mirror circuit has two FETs 11 and 12 with gate terminals directly connected, and short-circuits the gate terminal and drain terminal of one FET 11 and each FET 11 , 12 are connected to the power supply terminal Vdd via the resistors 13 and 14, respectively.
- the FETs 11 and 12 shown in FIG. 2 are usually formed in the same area in a close area on a semiconductor wafer and have exactly the same electrical characteristics. Further, since the gate terminal and the drain terminal of FET 11 are short-circuited, the drain-gate voltage V DG of FET 11 becomes zero, and FET 11 operates in the saturation region. Therefore, the drain current ID and the source current IS of the FET 11 are equal. Since the gate terminals of the FETs 11 and 12 are short-circuited, the gate voltages VG of both are equal, and the voltage applied across the resistor 13 and the voltage applied across the resistor 14 are also equal. Therefore, if the resistance values of these two resistors 13 and 14 are made equal, the drain current of each FET 11 and 12 will always be constant, and the current mirror circuit shown in Fig. 2 will be a constant current circuit. Operate.
- the portion indicated by reference numeral 10 in FIG. 1 does not make the resistance values of the two resistors 5 and 6 the same, for example, changing the resistance value R1 of the resistance 5 to 0.8 times the resistance value R2 of the resistance 6. Is set.
- each of the two resistors 5, 6 is set to a different value, FE The balance between T1 and FET2 is lost, and the current flowing through resistor 5 does not match the current flowing through resistor 6.
- the method of setting the resistance ratio of the two resistors 5 and 6 will be described later.
- a resistor 3 is connected between the gate terminals of the two FETs 1 and 2.
- the resistor 3 is provided to prevent the modulated signal input from the input terminal Vin from flowing through the path indicated by the dotted arrow in FIG.
- FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the detection circuit shown in FIG. The figure shows the operation characteristics of FET 1 and 2 when the gate terminal voltage IG is changed with the horizontal axis representing the drain-source voltage VDS and the vertical axis representing the drain current ID.
- the region A where the drain current ID changes drastically according to the drain-source voltage VDS is the saturation region, the drain current ID does not change even if the drain-source voltage VDS changes, and the region B is activated. It is called an area.
- Vdd R2 X ID + VDS... (1)
- Equation (2) represents the DC load line, and the straight line P in Fig. 3 corresponds to this.
- the AC operation of the detection circuit shown in FIG. 1 is equivalent to the circuit shown in FIG. 4 if the capacitance of the capacitor 8 inside the one-pass filter 20 is assumed to be sufficiently large and the AC circuit is short-circuited. become. Therefore, the relationship between the output voltage vDS of FET 2 and the current iC is given by equation (3), where ZL is the impedance of the AC load.
- Equation (3) represents the AC load line, and the straight line Q in Fig. 3 corresponds to this.
- the point at which the DC load line and the AC load line intersect is the operating point T, and the modulated wave signal is detected around the operating point T. If the operating point T is in the active region of FETs 1 and 2 as shown in Fig. 5, the modulated wave signal input to the detection circuit (Curve R ′ in FIG. 5) is input to the mouth-to-pass filter 20 with almost the same waveform without distortion (curve S ′ in FIG. 5).
- FIG. 3 shows a state in which the operating point T is set within the saturation region of the FETs 1 and 2.
- the signal correlated with the negative envelope of the modulated wave signal S is extracted (curve S in FIG. 3), and this signal is passed through the mouth-to-pass filter 20 to obtain the modulated wave.
- the signal can be detected with high accuracy.
- each of the two resistors 5 and 6 is used.
- the resistance value is set to a predetermined value or more.
- the power supply voltage Vdd is 5 V
- the current flowing through the resistor 5 is 100 A
- the on-resistance of FET 1 is 0.2 V
- the resistance value R1 of the resistor 5 is 1 OkQ
- the resistor 5 Since the voltage between both ends becomes 1 V and 4 V is applied between the drain and source of FET 1, FET 1 cannot be saturated.
- the resistance value R1 of the resistor 5 is set to 49, the drain-source voltage of the FET 1 becomes 0.1 IV, so that the FET 1 operates in the saturation region without fail. Therefore, it is necessary to set each of the resistances 5 and 6 to a somewhat large value in consideration of the current value flowing through the resistances 5 and 6 and the power supply voltage value.
- the resistance value R2 of the resistor 6 is set to about 0.8 times the resistance value R1 of the resistor 5.
- FIG. 6 is a diagram showing how the operating point T moves when the resistance ratio between the resistors 5 and 6 is changed.
- the respective resistance values of the two resistances 5 and 6 are determined so that the FET operates in the saturation region without fail. As shown in FIG. 3, it is possible to extract only the positive-side or negative-side envelope components of the AM-modulated test signal.
- the drain voltage depends on the drain-source voltage VDS. Since the rain current ID changes linearly, if the operating point is set within the saturation region and the modulated wave signal is detected, the waveform will not be distorted at all.
- the detection circuit of the present embodiment has a circuit configuration similar to a current mirror circuit that is often used when an operational amplifier is formed into a chip, so that the detection circuit can be easily formed into a chip. By doing so, variations in the electrical characteristics of FETs 1 and 2 and resistors 5 and 6 can be eliminated, and highly accurate detection can be performed.
- the resistance ratio of the two resistors 5 and 6 does not necessarily need to be 0.8, and it is desirable to determine an appropriate value in relation to the hFE of the FETs 1 and 2 and the voltage value of the power supply voltage Vdd.
- FIG. 1 shows an example in which the detection circuit is configured by using the MOS FETs 1 and 2, but the detection circuit can be configured by using a bipolar transistor.
- FIG. 7 shows an example of a detection circuit configured using NPN transistors
- FIG. 8 shows an example of a detection circuit configured using PNP transistors.
- each of the two resistors 5 and 6 is connected to the common power supply terminal Vdd, but different voltages are applied to one end of each of the two resistors 5 and 6. May be applied. Instead of grounding the respective source terminals of the two FETs 1 and 2, they may be connected to other elements such as resistors.
- the detection processing is performed linearly using the saturation region of the transistor without using the diode, the modulated wave signal can be demodulated without being distorted.
- the entire detection circuit can be easily formed into a chip, and by forming the chip, variations in the electrical characteristics of each element constituting the detection circuit can be eliminated. .
