具体实施方式
下面将结合附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行描述。应理解,本发明实施例的数据接口、芯片和芯片系统适用于任何需要数据通信的场合,尤其适用于高速低功耗通信互联的场合。其中,数据接口尤其适用于芯片之间的数据通信。例如,芯片系统的内部芯片之间的数据通信。
本发明实施例中,考虑到多芯片间通信信道不对外可见,而用于传输信号的载体为电压或者电流时,会导致通信信道中寄生电容过大。
为了解决上述问题,本发明实施例中提供了一种新的数据接口,该数据接口采用电荷作为传输信号的载体,通过将发送电路中电容的电荷转移至寄生电容以生成发送信号,进而降低数据接口的功耗。
图1是本发明实施例的数据接口(单端)的示意性框图。
如图1所示,该数据接口101可以包括:电荷发送电路102和静电保护电路103;该电荷发送电路102通过该静电保护电路103连接至绑定线(binding wire)104;该电荷发送电路102用于将该电荷发送电路102中第一电容中的电荷转移至该静电保护电路103的寄生电容和该绑定线104的寄生电容,以生成并通过绑定线104输出第一电压信号。
可选地,本发明实施例中,静电保护电路103旨在用于防止静电对器件的破坏,尤其在包括多个芯片的芯片系统中,由于通信信道并不是暴露在整个芯片系统的外部,因此,该静电保护(ESD)电路只需要保证能满足充电器件模型(Charged Device Model,CDM)的需求即可,其目的是为了降低寄生电容。此外,绑定线为芯片互连之间必要的连接线。
本发明实施例的数据接口,通过采用充电电容与寄生电容中电荷再分配 的方式,不仅能够降低通信信道中寄生电容带来的功耗损失,而且能够有效降低时延。此外,通过使用单线通信,避免了使用双线通信,相对于LVDS降低了制造成本。
应当理解,图1为数据接口101仅包括发送电路的示例。在其它可替代实施例中,数据接口还可以包括接收电路。例如,作为示例,该数据接口还可以包括信号接收转换电路,该信号接收转换电路用于接收对端数据接口发送的第二电压信号,并对该第二电压信号进行转换处理。
图2是本发明实施例的第一数据接口和第二数据接口的连接关系的示意性框图。第一数据接口和第二数据接口可分别视为本端接口和对端接口,或者分别作为发送端接口和接收端接口。

在实际操作中,第一数据接口110和第二数据接口130可以通过第一开关112、第二开关114、第四开关132和第三开关134实现电荷发送电路和信号接收转换电路之间的切换。作为一种可选地实现方式,如图2所示,第一开关112和第四开关132可以通过控制信号en1控制,第二开关114和第三开关134可以通过控制信号en2控制。在具体切换过程中,当en1=0且en2=1时,第一数据接口110可以作为发射端,第二数据接口130作为接收端;当en1=1且en2=0时,第一数据接口110可以作为接收端,第二数据接口130作为发射端,从而实现半双工通信功能。
具体地,如图2所示,第一数据接口110作为发射端且第二数据接口130 作为接收端时,第一数据接口110生成电压信号Vo1,并通过绑定线120发送给第二数据接口130。第一数据接口110作为接收端且第二数据接口130作为发射端时,第二数据接口130生成电压信号Vo2,并通过绑定线120发送给第一数据接口110。
这里需要指出的是,图2所示的数据接口的连接关系仅为示例,在其它可替代实施例中,如果数据接口仅仅用于单工通信时,上述四个开关为可选开关。应当理解,图2所示的四个开关并非一定是真实的物理开关,例如,可以是通过复用电荷发送电路和/或信号接收转换电路中的信号,实现电荷发送电路和信号接收转换电路之间的切换。还应当理解,虽然,图2所示的第一数据接口110和第二数据接口130都可以包括一套功能相同的信号接收转换电路和电荷发送电路,但是,其信号接收转换电路和电荷发送电路的具体实现电路和/或使用工艺可以不同。

下面以图3所示的电路为第一数据接口110中的第一电荷发送电路111(即en x为en1,Vo x为Vo1)为例对图3所示的电路的工作原理进行说明。
当en1=0时,本发明实施例中,可以使得MOS管141导通,进而使得电容143预充电至电源电压Vdd,并控制MOS管142和MOS管144断开,此时,Vo1输出高阻,电荷发送电路处于失能状态。
当en1=1时,若Di=1,则en x·Di=1,且en x·_Di=0,此时,MOS管141和MOS管144断开,MOS管142导通,该电路进入使能状态,此时预充电后的电容143上的电荷倾倒在静电保护和绑定线的寄生电容上,通过调节电容143可以得到不同的电压值,如下公式所示:

本发明实施例中涉及的信号接收转换电路可以通过该静电保护电路连接至该绑定线;该信号接收转换电路用于接收第二电压信号,并将该第二电压信号转换为第三电压信号。
可选地,该信号接收转换电路可以包括:
偏置电路和至少一个电压比较电路;该偏置电路用于为这至少一个电压比较电路提供偏置电流和偏置电压信号,该电压比较电路用于接收该第二电压信号和该偏置电压信号,并根据该第二电压信号和该偏置电压信号的比较结果生成该第三电压信号,其中,该第三电压信号可以是芯片或者处理器直接使用的信号。
例如,如图4所示,该信号接收转换电路可以包括偏置电路210和n个电压比较电路(如图所示的第一电压比较电路231、第二电压比较电路232以及第n电压比较电路233)。
结合图2来说,本申请实施例中的数据接口110作为接收端时,可以用于包括多个第一信号接收转换电路115,且该多个第一信号接收转换电路115中的每个第一信号接收转换电路115可以包括一个偏置电路210和n个电压比较电路(如图所示的第一电压比较电路231、第二电压比较电路232以及第n电压比较电路233)。其中,该n个电压比较电路中的每一个电压比较电路分别用于接收一个该第二电压信号。换句话说,该n个电压比较电路可以用于接收n个第二电压信号。该n个第二电压信号可以包括如图4所示的Vo 21,Vo 22直至Vo 2n
例如,以图3所示的第一电压比较电路为例,所述数据接口110接收到的第二电压信号为Vo 21时,图3所示的第一电压比较电路231用于接收该第二电压信号Vo 21和该偏置电压信号,并根据该第二电压信号Vo11和该偏置电压信号的比较结果生成并输出第三电压信号,即芯片或者处理器可以直接使用的信号。
本发明实施例中,可以为多个电压比较电路配置一个偏置电路,也可以为每个电压比较电路配置一个偏置电路,采用为多个电压比较电路配置一个偏置电路的配置方式,在并行传输的场景下,可以有效降低功耗。需要注意的是,针对为多个电压比较电路配置一个偏置电路的配置方式,该多个电压 比较电路的电路结构和/或使用工艺可以不同。
图5和图6是本发明实施例的信号接收转换电路的示例。下面给出单个偏置电路对应单个电压比较电路(如图4所示的电压比较电路231)的实施方式。由于图5和图6中的部分器件类似,因此,为了便于说明,采用相同的附图标记表示相同的部件。
如图5或图6所示,该信号接收转换电路可以包括偏置电路210和电压比较电路231。
应当理解,本发明实施例中的偏置电路旨在为电压比较电路提供偏置电流和偏置电压信号。本发明实施例对偏置电路的具体电路结构和使用工艺不做限定。
作为示例,如图5或图6所示,该偏置电路210可以包括:
MOS管212、MOS管213、MOS管214、MOS管217、电阻215和电流源211;该MOS管212通过该电流源211连接至地;该MOS管213通过该MOS管214连接至该电阻215的一端,该电阻215的另一端接地;该MOS管217用于为该电压比较电路231提供偏置电流;该MOS管212与该MOS管213组成第一电流镜,且该MOS管212与该MOS管213的镜像比率为1:K;该MOS管212与该MOS管217组成第二电流镜,该MOS管212与该MOS管217的镜像比率为1:K*L,且该MOS管214与该MOS管242的镜像比率为1:L,其中,K>1,L>1。其中,电阻215用于生成偏置电压信号。
可选地,如图5或图6所示,该偏置电路210可以包括:
MOS管216,该MOS管216的栅极用于接收第四控制信号,该第四控制信号可以是en x,进一步地,该en x可以是图2所示的en1(用于控制第一开关112和第四开关132)和图2所示的en2(用于控制第二开关114和第三开关134)。该MOS管216的漏极与MOS214的栅极连接,该MOS管216的源极连接至地。
本申请实施例中,通过控制该MOS管216的导通或者关断,可以有效节省数据接口处于未工作状态时的电量损耗。
此外,如图5或图6所示,该电压比较电路231可以包括:
MOS管242;该MOS管242的漏极用于接收该偏置电路210输出的偏置电流,该MOS管242的栅极用于接收该偏置电压信号,该MOS管242 的源极用于接收该第二电压信号。
进一步地,如图5所示,该电压比较电路231还可以包括:
反相器243和反相器244;该MOS管242的漏极通过该反相器243连接至该反相器244;此时,该反相器244的输出信号为该第三电压信号。
在实际工作中,电流源211为整个信号接收转换电路提供一个确定的参考电流,该MOS管212与该MOS管213组成第一电流镜,将电流源211的电流镜像到MOS管213、MOS管214和电阻215所在的支路,假设MOS管212与该MOS管213的镜像比率为1:K,则电阻215上的压降根据公式(4)可计算出:
V r=K*I b*R    (4)
在电压比较电路231中,MOS管212与MOS管217同样是构成电流镜,假设该MOS管212与该MOS管217组成第二电流镜,且该MOS管212与该MOS管217的镜像比率为1:K*L,则该MOS管217在饱和状态下流过的电流为K*L*I b。此外,MOS管242为该电压比较电路231中的放大管,若将该MOS管214与该MOS管242的镜像比率设计为1:L,则当第二电压信号(Vox)的电压等于偏置电压信号(Vr)的电压时,该MOS管217与该MOS管242的电流刚好一致,也即是说,Vox=Vr的点即为该电压比较电路231的翻转阈值点。换句话说,当Vox>Vr时该MOS管242的漏极输出1,当Vox<Vr时该MOS管242的漏极输出0。
结合图5来说,该MOS管242的漏极输出的信号经过反相器243和反相器244进行放大后,能够输出一个稳定标准的逻辑电平(0或者1)。
但是,通过分析可以发现:在图5所示的电压比较电路231中,通常第二电压信号(Vox)的摆幅只有几百mV的量级,但是电压比较电路231的供电电压相对会高许多,通常在几V的量级,因此,该MOS管242的漏端结点需要从地摆到电源电压,全靠该MOS管217的充电结点的寄生电容。若通过增加该MOS管217的宽长比来增加充电的电流,则会导致电压比较电路231的功耗急剧上升。
为了解决这个问题,本发明实施例对图5所示的电压比较电路231进行了简单的变形,形成了如图6所示的电压比较电路231。
如图6所示,该电压比较电路231还可以包括:
分压电路245和信号生成电路248;该MOS管242的漏极与该分压电 路245的一端相连,该分压电路245的另一端连接MOS管217;该分压电路245的两端还分别与该信号生成电路248的第一输入端和第二输入端相连;该信号生成电路248用于接收该分压电路245的两端的电压信号,并根据该分压电路245的两端的电压信号生成第四电压信号。
进一步地,如图6所示,该电压比较电路231还可以包括:
反相器249;该信号生成电路248的输出端与该反相器249的输入端相连,此时,该反相器249的输出端输出的信号为该第三电压信号。
针对电压比较电路231,相对于图5所示的电路结构,在图6中,将反相器243中两个MOS管的栅极分别作为一个输入端,形成信号生成电路248,并且在该MOS管217和该MOS管242之间设计了分压电路245。
作为示例,如图6所示,该信号生成电路248可以包括:
MOS管246和MOS管247;该分压电路245的两端分别与该MOS管246的栅极和该MOS管247的栅极相连,该MOS管246通过该MOS管247连接至地,该MOS管247的漏极用于输出该第四电压信号。
作为一种低成本设计的示例,如图7所示,该分压电路245可以包括:
MOS管311和电流源312;该MOS管311的源极与该MOS管246的栅极相连,该MOS管311的栅极与该MOS管247的栅极相连,该MOS管311的栅极与该MOS管311的漏极相连,该MOS管311的漏极通过该电流源312连接至地。
下面结合图6对该电压比较电路231的工作过程进行说明:
在实际工作中,当Vox>Vr时,MOS管242进入截止区,MOS管217将分压电路245两端的电压(如图6所示的Vop和Von)上拉,直至Vop升至电源电压,令MOS管217进入线性区。由于图7所述的电流源312的电流远小于图6所述的电流源211的电流,因此,Vop近似等于电源电压,进而确保MOS管246能够正常关闭。此外,由于MOS管311和电流源312的共同作用,使得分压电路245有一个Vgs的压降,从而使得Von总是不会上升到电源电压,此时,由于Von足够高,能够保证MOS管247的导通,进而有输出0,经反相器249后输出1,即Do输出为1。相应的,当Vox<Vr时,其电压比较电路231的工作过程与上述正好相反,为避免重复,此处不再赘述。
通过以上分析可以看出,由于加入了分压电路245,使得Vop的摆动幅 度为V dd~V_gs,Von的摆动幅度为(V dd-V_gs)~0,从而降低MOS管246对各节点最终稳定所需要的摆幅,降低的充电时间,减小了传输延迟。进一步地,在保证传输延迟不变的情况下,还可以减小MOS管217的充电电流,进而能够有效降低该电压比较电路231的功耗。
此外,由于Vop的摆动幅度为V dd~V_gs,Von的摆动幅度为(V dd-V_gs)~0,能够避免MOS管246和MOS管247同时导通,进一步降低了该电压比较电路231的功耗。
综上所述,本发明实施例的数据接口用于发送信号时,采用充电电容与寄生电容中电荷再分配的方式,不仅能够降低通信信道中寄生电容带来的功耗损失,而且能够有效降低时延。此外,通过使用单线通信,避免了使用双线通信,相对于LVDS降低了制造成本。另外,本发明实施例的数据接口用于接收信号时,通过分压电路不仅能够有效降低电压比较电路中节点的摆动幅度,使得同样功耗下电压比较器可以工作到更高的速率,而且能够进一步降低功耗。
应理解,图7所示的分压电路245仅为示例,本发明实施例对其电路的具体结构不做限定,例如,在一种可实现的方式中,该分压电路可以是一个电阻或者二极管。

例如,MOS管根据“通道”(工作载流子)的极性不同,可以分为“N型”MOS管(NMOSFET)与“P型”MOS管(PMOSFET),对于NMOSFET,其源极和漏极接在N型半导体上,接高压为漏端,接低压为源端,实际电流方向为流入漏极。对于PMOSFET,其源极和漏极则接在P型半导体上,接高压为源端,接低压为漏端,实际电流方向为流出漏极。以图6所示的信号生成电路248为例,该信号生成电路248包括MOS管246和MOS管247,其中,MOS管246为“N型”MOS管,MOS管247为“P型”MOS管。但本发明实施例不限于此。例如,在其它可替代实施例中,可以将MOS管246设计为“P型”MOS管,将MOS管247设计为“N型”MOS管,并进一步地,在信号生成电路后端连接两个反相器,也可以得到本发明实施例中 的第三电压信号。
另外,需要说明的是,在上述具体实施方式中所描述的各个具体技术特征,在不矛盾的情况下,可以通过任何合适的方式进行组合,为了避免不必要的重复,本申请对各种可能的组合方式不再另行说明。此外,本申请的各种不同的实施方式之间也可以进行任意组合,只要其不违背本申请的思想,其同样应当视为本申请所公开的内容。
