Definitions
- the present invention relates to an AD (Analog-to-Digital) converter, and is suitably used for, for example, an asynchronous successive approximation AD converter.
- AD Analog-to-Digital
- the successive approximation type AD converter typically converts an analog input signal into a binary digital value by a binary search method.
- the successive approximation type AD converter is roughly classified into a synchronous type and an asynchronous type.
- a sampling clock for determining a sampling period based on a clock supplied from the outside and a timing clock for controlling the operation of the comparator are generated.
- the AD converter operates in synchronization with these clocks.
- the synchronous AD converter requires a circuit for generating these clocks and a wiring for the clock, so that the current consumption is relatively increased and the circuit area is increased.
- the asynchronous AD converter starts the comparison operation of the next cycle based on a signal indicating that the comparison operation is completed, and does not require the supply of a clock signal with a constant cycle.
- This makes it possible to reduce power consumption and area compared to a synchronous AD converter for example, the literature “A 6-bit 600-MS / s 5.3-mW Asynchronous ADC in 0.13- ⁇ m by Chen et al.) CMOS ", IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, Vol. 41, December 2006, p.2669-2680 (Non-Patent Document 1)).
- Patent Document 1 discloses a comparison circuit configured to shorten the determination time. Specifically, when comparing the input signal and the reference signal, the comparison circuit of this document uses a first comparison value larger than the reference signal by a predetermined value and a second comparison smaller than the reference signal by a predetermined value. And value.
- the comparison circuit includes a first comparator that generates a first determination signal according to a result of comparing the input signal and the first comparison value, and a result of comparing the input signal and the second comparison value. And a second comparator for generating a second determination signal.
- the comparison circuit further includes an output selection circuit that detects which of the first and second determination signals is generated first, selects the previously generated signal, and outputs the selected signal as a determination signal.
- the comparison code generated by the successive approximation register is converted into a DA (Digital-to-Analog) converter.
- a reference signal is obtained.
- the first comparison value and the second comparison value are generated by adding a predetermined positive / negative analog voltage to the analog reference signal.
- the first and second comparison values include an error due to the addition of the analog voltage, and there is a problem that a final AD conversion error becomes large. If two DA converters are provided to generate the first and second comparison values, it is not necessary to add analog voltages, but the circuit area increases.
- a successive approximation AD converter includes a comparator that compares an analog input signal and a DA-converted comparison code, and a control circuit. If the output of the comparator is determined before the time limit has elapsed since the comparator started the comparison operation, the control circuit updates the comparison code based on the determined output of the comparator. If the time limit elapses before the output of is determined, the comparison code is updated without being based on the current output of the comparator.

Abstract
Description
[半導体装置の構成例]
図1は、実施の形態1によるAD変換器を備えた半導体装置の全体構成の一例を概略的に示すブロック図である。
図2は、図1のAD変換器の構成を示すブロック図である。図2を参照して、AD変換器10は、非同期式の逐次比較型のAD変換器である。AD変換器10は、DA変換器(DAC:Digital-to-Analog Converter)14と、ラッチ回路付きの比較器11と、SR(Set-Reset)ラッチ回路12と、制御回路13とを含む。
DA変換器14は、制御回路13から出力された比較コードCCをDA変換する。DA変換器14は、サンプリングされたアナログ入力信号VIN(正相信号VINP,逆相信号VINN)とDA変換された比較コードCCとの電位差を表わす差動信号DACOUT(正相信号DACOUTP,逆相信号DACOUTN)を生成して比較器11に出力する。
2-1.概要
比較器11は、差動入力・差動出力の完全差動アンプにラッチ回路の機能を付加したものである。比較器11には、DA変換器14から出力された差動信号DACOUT(正相信号DACOUTP,逆相信号DACOUTN)が入力される。比較器11は、差動入力信号DACOUTの値に応じて、正相信号LATCHOUTPおよび逆相信号LATCHOUTNのうち一方がHレベル(ハイレベル:High Level)となり、他方がLレベル(ローレベル:Low Level)となる差動信号LATCHOUTを生成して出力する。差動出力信号LATCHOUTは、SRラッチ回路12に保持されるとともに制御回路13に出力される。
図3は、図2の比較器およびSRラッチ回路の構成の一例を示す回路図である。図3を参照して、比較器11は、PMOS(Positive-channel Metal Oxide Semiconductor)トランジスタMP0~MP5と、NMOS(Negative-channel Metal Oxide Semiconductor)トランジスタMN0~MN3,MN6とを含む。
図3の比較器11において、電源ノードVDDと接地ノードVSSとを入れ替え、各PMOSトランジスタをNMOSトランジスタに変更し、各NMOSトランジスタをPMOSトランジスタに変更するようにしてもよい。この場合、SRラッチ回路12は、インバータINV1,INV2を含まずにNORゲートNR1,NR2のみによって構成される。
再び図2を参照して、制御回路13は、比較器11の出力が確定したか否かを判定するための論理ゲート(NANDゲート)15と、制限時間判定回路16と、論理ゲート(ORゲート)17と、クロック生成回路18と、逐次比較制御回路20とを含む。
論理ゲート15は、比較器11の出力信号LATCHOUTP,LATCHOUTNのNAND演算を行なう2入力NAND回路である。クロック信号CLKCOMPがネゲートされているとき、比較器11の出力信号LATCHOUTP,LATCHOUTNは共にHレベルであるので、論理ゲート15の出力信号Main_inはLレベルになる。クロック信号CLKCOMPがアサートされ、比較器11の出力信号LATCHOUTP,LATCHOUTNのNANDの一方がLレベルに変化すると(すなわち、比較器11の出力が確定すると)、論理ゲート15の出力信号Main_inはHレベルに変化する。実施の形態1では、論理ゲートの出力信号Main_inをHアクティブとしている。
制限時間判定回路16は、クロック信号CLKCOMPがアサートされてから制限時間が経過すると、出力信号Sub_inをLレベルからHレベルに切替える(実施の形態1では、制限時間判定回路16の出力信号Sub_inをHアクティブと定める)。すなわち、制限時間判定回路16は、クロック信号CLKCOMPがアサートされてから制限時間が経過したか否かを判定する判定部として機能する。制限時間が経過すると、制限時間判定回路16の出力信号(判定信号)Sub_inはLレベルからHレベルに変化する(アサートされる)。
論理ゲート(ORゲート)17は、論理ゲート15の出力信号Main_inと制限時間判定回路16の出力信号Sub_inの少なくとも一方がアサートされたときに出力信号VALIDをアサートする(実施の形態1では、VALID信号をHアクティブと定める)。
サンプリング期間を示すクロック信号CLKINがネゲートされたこと(実施の形態1の場合、HレベルからLレベルに切替わったこと)に応答して、クロック生成回路18は、比較器11に出力するクロック信号CLKCOMPをアサートする(LレベルからHレベルに切替える)。これによって、比較器11による最初の比較動作が開始される。この時点ではVALID信号はネゲートされている(Lレベルである)。
逐次比較制御回路20は、VALID信号がアサートされたことを検知すると、SRラッチ回路12の出力信号COMPOUTに基づいて比較コードCCを更新する。すなわち、逐次比較制御回路20は、制限時間が経過する前に比較器11の出力が確定した場合には、SRラッチ回路12に保持されている確定後の比較器11の比較結果に基づいて、次のサイクルで用いられる比較コードCCを生成する。逐次比較制御回路20は、比較器11の出力が確定する前に制限時間が経過した場合には、SRラッチ回路12に保持されている前回の比較結果を今回の比較結果として用いて(すなわち、比較器11の現時点の出力に基づかずに)次のサイクルで用いられる比較コードCCを生成する。
図4は、図2のAD変換器の各部の信号波形の一例を模式的に示す図である。図4では、上から順に、クロック信号CLKIN、クロック信号CLKCOMP、比較器11の出力信号LATCHOUT、論理ゲート15の出力信号Main_in、制限時間判定回路16の出力信号Sub_in、VALID信号、およびSRラッチ回路12の出力信号COMPOUTが示されている。出力信号COMPOUTはHレベルまたはLレベルの値を示す1ビットの信号であるが、図4では、Hレベルの場合とLレベルの場合とが重ねて示されている。図4には、さらに、シフトレジスタ21の第1番目と第2番目のビットに対応するState信号、比較コードCC、およびDA変換器14の出力信号が示されている。図4では図示されていないが、DA変換器14の出力は、実際には比較コードCCの値に応じて変化する。以下、図2、図4を参照して、AD変換器10の動作について総括的に説明する。
図5は、実施の形態1のAD変換器による変換動作を説明するための図である。図5に示す例では、2分探索方式による5ビットのAD変換の例が示されている。入力信号VINの値を10進数で8.1であるとする。図2、図5を参照して、まず、比較動作に制限時間が設けられていない場合について説明する。
実施の形態1によれば、AD変換器10は、比較器11が比較動作を開始してから制限時間が経過したときには、比較器11の出力が確定しなくても次のサイクルに進むように動作する。この結果、あるサイクルでの比較器11の入力電圧の差(または差動入力信号の値)の絶対値が非常に小さくなった場合でも所望の時間内に誤差の小さなAD変換値を得ることができる。
図6は、実施の形態2によるAD変換器の一部の構成を示す図である。実施の形態2によるAD変換器10Aは、図2の制限時間判定回路16をより具体的な構成に変更したものである。図6を参照して、制限時間判定回路16Aは、遅延回路30と論理ゲート(ANDゲート)31とを含む。
図9は、実施の形態3によるAD変換器の一部の構成を示す図である。実施の形態3によるAD変換器10Bは、図2の制限時間判定回路16をより具体的な構成に変更したものである。図9を参照して、制限時間判定回路16Bは、遅延回路30とDラッチ回路32とを含む。
図10は、実施の形態4によるAD変換器の一部の構成を示す図である。実施の形態4によるAD変換器10Cは、図2の制限時間判定回路16をより具体的な構成に変更したものである。
図11は、実施の形態5によるAD変換器の一部の構成を示す図である。実施の形態5によるAD変換器10Dは、図6のAD変換器10Aを変形したものである。具体的には、図11のAD変換器10Dは、NANDゲート15に代えて排他的論理和(EX-OR:Exclusive OR)ゲート15Aが設けられている点で図6のAD変換器10Aと異なる。
