具体实施方式
为了使本申请的目的、技术方案及优点更加清楚明白,以下结合附图及实施例,对本申请进行进一步详细说明。应当理解,此处所描述的具体实施例仅仅用以解释本申请,并不用于限定本申请。
在本申请的描述中,除非另有明确的规定和限定,术语“第一”、“第二”仅用于描述的目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性;除非另有规定或说明,术语“多个”是指两个或两个以上;术语“连接”、“固定”等均应做广义理解,例如,“连接”可以是固定连接,也可以是可拆卸连接,或一体地连接,或电连接;可以是直接相连,也可以通过中间媒介间接相连。对于本领域的普通技术人员而言,可以根据具体情况理解上述术语在本发明中的具体含义。
请参考图1,传统的RC振荡电路通常包括参考电压模块11、充放电模块12、比较模块13及逻辑模块14。比较模块13的输入端分别与参考电压模块11及充放电模块12连接,比较模块13的输出端与逻辑模块14的输入端连接,逻辑模块14的输出端与充放电模块12连接。参考电压模块11用于产生参考电压。充放电模块12用于传输充放电电压至比较模块13。比较模块13用于对所述参考电压及所述充放电电压进行比较,并输出比较结果至逻辑模块14。逻辑模块14用于根据比较结果输出时钟信号。逻辑模块14还用于将时钟信号反馈至充放电模块12,充放电模块12用于根据所述时钟信号进行充电和放电。逻辑模块14将时钟信号反馈至充放电模块12,从而使得充放电模块12从充电状态切换至放电状态或者从放电状态切换至充电状态,使得充放电模块12进行循环的充电和放电,从而使得RC振荡电路持续输出时钟信号。
充放电模块12通常包括电容阵列电路,RC振荡电路通过调节电容阵列电路的总电容,进而调节充放电模块12的充放电频率,从而调节RC振荡电路输出的时钟信号的频率。电容阵列电路的总电容为电容阵列电路接入充放电模块12并参与充放电的电容的总和,电容阵列电路的总电容可通过开关进行调节。传统电容阵列电路的总电容的调节往往忽略寄生电阻对电容阵列电路接入充放电模块12的总电容的影响,从而导致RC振荡电路 输出时钟信号频率的调节呈现非单调性。
请参考图2,本申请实施例提供一种RC振荡电路,包括电容充放电电路20、第一比较器I1、第二比较器I2、参考电压单元30、逻辑单元40及控制单元50。电容充放电电路20包括第一充放电电路21和第二充放电电路22。第一比较器I1的第一输入端与第一充放电电路21的电容输出端连接,第一比较器I1的第二输入端与参考电压单元30连接;第二比较器I2的第一输入端与第二充放电电路22的电容输出端连接,第二比较器I2的第二输入端与参考电压单元30连接;第一比较器I1的输出端及第二比较器I2的输出端均与逻辑单元40的输入端连接。逻辑单元40的输出端连接到充放电电路20的输入端,具体的,逻辑单元40的输出端分别与第一充放电电路21的输入端及第二充放电电路22的输入端连接。
参考电压单元30用于产生基准电压。第一充放电电路21用于传输第一充电电压或第一放电电压至第一比较器I1。其中,时钟信号包括多个时钟周期,每个时钟周期包括第一半周期及第二半周期,第一充电电压是第一充放电电路21在每个时钟周期的第一半周期输出的电压,第一放电电压是第一充放电电路21在每个时钟周期的第二半周期输出的电压。第一比较器I1用于对第一充电电压及基准电压进行比较,或对第一放电电压及基准电压进行比较,并输出第一比较结果至逻辑单元40。第二充放电电路22用于传输第二充电电压或第二放电电压至第二比较器I2。其中,第二放电电压是第二充放电电路22在每个时钟周期的第一半周期输出的电压,第二充电电压是第二充放电电路22在每个时钟周期的第二半周期输出的电压。第二比较器I2用于对第二充电电压及基准电压进行比较,或对第二放电电压及基准电压进行比较,并输出第二比较结果至逻辑单元40。逻辑单元40用于根据第一比较结果及第二比较结果输出时钟信号。逻辑单元40还用于将时钟信号分别反馈至第一充放电电路21及第二充放电电路22,第一充放电电路21及第二充放电电路22根据所述时钟信号进行充电和放电。逻辑单元40将时钟信号反馈至充放电模块12,从而使得第一充放电电路21及第二充放电电路22从充电状态切换至放电状态或者从放电状态切换至充电状态,使得第一充放电电路21及第二充放电电路22进行循环的充电和放电, 从而使得RC振荡电路持续输出时钟信号。
请参考图3,作为一种示例,充放电电路20(比如图1中的充放电模块12或图2中的第一充放电电路21、第二充放电电路22)包括电容阵列电路C、电源V、第一电子开关Q1、第一电阻R及第二电子开关Q2。
时钟信号包括多个时钟周期,每个时钟周期包括第一半周期及第二半周期。在每个时钟周期的第一半周期,输入端VIN的输入为高电平,第一电子开关Q1截止,第二电子开关Q2导通,充放电电路20进行放电;在每个时钟周期的第二半周期,输入端VIN的输入为低电平,第一电子开关Q1导通,第二电子开关Q2截止,充放电电路20进行充电。输入端VIN输入的电平根据时钟周期周期变换,从而充放电电路20交替进行充放电。
请一并参考图4,作为示例,电容阵列电路C(比如图3中的电容阵列电路C)包括N个电容及N个MOS管。N个MOS管与N个电容一一对应,其中,N个MOS管中的每个MOS管的漏极通过不同的金属线与对应的电容的一端连接,所述每个MOS管的源极接地,所述每个MOS管的栅极用于接收控制信号以分别控制所述每个MOS管的导通和截止。N个电容的另一端连接至一公共端,该公共端作为电容阵列电路C的电容输出端Cout。N个MOS管中的每个MOS管与对应的电容组成一个电容支路,比如,N个MOS管中的第1个MOS管与第1个电容组成第1个电容支路,第2个MOS管与第2个电容组成第2个电容支路,第N个MOS管与第N个电容组成第N个电容支路,…,以此类推,即第n个MOS管与第n个电容组成第n个电容支路。每个MOS管受控制信号的控制进行导通和截止,从而控制该MOS管所在的电容支路是否接入电容阵列电路C。具体的,当第n个MOS管在控制信号的控制下导通时,第n个MOS管与第n个电容组成的第n个电容支路与其他电容支路并联,也即第n个电容支路接入电容阵列电路C。其中,N为大于或等于2的整数。
第1个电容的容值为C1,第2个电容的容值为C2,第3个电容的容值为C3,...,第n-1个电容的容值为Cn-1,第n个电容的容值为Cn。
第1个MOS管的导通电阻为R on1,第2个MOS管的导通电阻为R on2,第3个MOS管的导通电阻为R on3,...,第n-1个MOS管的导通电阻为R onn-1, 第n个MOS管的导通电阻为R onn
第1个电容与第1个MOS管之间的金属线的电阻为R net1,第2个电容与第2个MOS管之间的金属线的电阻为R net2,第3个电容与第3个MOS管之间的金属线的电阻为R net3,...,第n-1个电容与第n-1个MOS管之间的金属线的电阻为R netn-1,第n个电容与第n个MOS管之间的金属线的电阻为R netn
传统的RC振荡电路通常忽略N个MOS管导通时的电阻以及忽略电容与MOS管之间的金属线的电阻,也就是把N个MOS管导通时的电阻及电容与MOS管之间的金属线的电阻当作0欧姆处理,然而,每个MOS管导通时均具有一定的导通电阻,电容与MOS管之间的金属线也存在一定的电阻,RC振荡电路的寄生电阻包括每个MOS管的导通电阻以及每个电容与对应的MOS管之间的金属线的电阻。MOS管的导通电阻以及电容与MOS管之间的金属线的电阻影响电容阵列电路C的总电容调节的单调性,从而影响RC振荡电路输出的时钟信号频率调节的单调性,造成RC振荡电路输出的时钟信号频率误差较大。
在考虑了寄生电阻对电容阵列电路C总电容的影响后,当N个电容支路的MOS管都导通时,N个电容支路的等效电容C1’,C2’,C3’,…,Cn’分别为:

Figure PCTCN2020113056-appb-000002
Figure PCTCN2020113056-appb-000003
依此类推,
Figure PCTCN2020113056-appb-000004
其中,f为时钟信号频率的一半。电容阵列电路C中的N个电容的容值通常按一定的比例进行设置,当C2=aC1,C3=aC2,C4=aC3,…, Cn-1=aCn-2,Cn=aCn-1时,即C1:C2:C3:C4:…:Cn-1:Cn=a 0:a 1:a 2:a 3:a 4:…:a n-2:a n-1,C2′≥aC1′,C3′≥aC2′,C4′≥aC3′,…,C(n-1)′≥aC(n-2)′,Cn′≥aC(n-1)′,也就是考虑了寄生电阻对电容阵列电路C总电容的影响后,N个电容支路的等效电容C1’,C2’,C3’,…,Cn’符合C2′≥aC1′,C3′≥aC2′,C4′≥aC3′,…,C(n-1)′≥aC(n-2)′,Cn′≥aC(n-1)′时,电容阵列电路C输出的总电容呈单调性变化。其中,a大于1。
当C2′≥aC1′,C3′≥aC2′,C4′≥aC3′,…,C(n-1)′≥aC(n-2)′,Cn′≥aC(n-1)′时,则R net1+R on1≥a*(R net2+R on2),R net2+R on2≥a*(R net3+R on3),R net3+R on3≥a*(R net4+R on4),…,R netn-1+R onn-1≥a*(R netn+R onn)。
在其中一个实施例中,若考虑N个MOS管中的每个MOS管的导通电阻对电容阵列电路C总电容的影响,忽略N个电容中的每个电容与对应的MOS管之间的金属线的电阻对电容阵列电路C总电容的影响,即把R net1、R net2、R net3、...、R netn-1、R netn的值均当作0进行处理,则R on1≥aR on2,R on2≥aR on3,R on3≥aR on4,…,R onn-1≥aR onn,即第n个电容的容值Cn为第n-1个电容的容值Cn-1的a倍,第n-1个MOS管的导通电阻R onn-1大于或等于第n个MOS管的导通电阻R onn的a倍,能够改善电容阵列电路C的总电容调节的单调性。其中,n=[2,N]。
在其中一个实施例中,若考虑N个电容中的每个电容与对应的MOS管之间的金属线的电阻对电容阵列电路C总电容的影响,忽略N个MOS管中的每个MOS管的导通电阻对电容阵列电路C总电容的影响,即把R on1、R on2、R on3、...、R onn-1、R onn的值均当作0进行处理,则R net1≥aR net2,R net2≥aR net3,R net3≥aR net4,…,R netn-1≥aR netn,即第n个电容的容值Cn为第n-1个电容的容值Cn-1的a倍,第n-1个电容与第n-1个MOS管之间的金属线的电阻R netn-1大于或等于第n个电容与第n个MOS管之间的金属线的电阻R netn的a倍,能够改善电容阵列电路C的总电容调节的单调性。其中,n=[2,N]。
在其中一个实施例中,同时考虑N个电容中的每个电容与对应的MOS管之间的金属线的电阻和N个MOS管中的每个MOS管的导通电阻对电容阵列电路C总电容的影响,R net1、R net2、R net3、...、R netn-1、R netn和R on1、R on2、R on3、...、R onn-1、R onn的值均不为0,R net1+R on1≥a*(R net2+R on2),R net2+R on2≥a*(R net3+R on3),R net3+R on3≥a*(R net4+R on4),…,R netn-1+R onn-1≥a*(R netn+R onn),即第n个电容的容值Cn为第n-1个电容的容值Cn-1的a倍,第n-1个电容支路的电容与MOS管之间的金属线的电阻R netn-1与MOS管的导通电阻R onn-1之和大于或等于第n个电容支路的电容与MOS管之间的金属线的电阻R netn与MOS管的导通电阻R onn之和的a倍,从而能够使得电容阵列电路C的总电容调节呈单调性变化。其中,n=[2,N]。
MOS管的导通电阻与MOS管的宽度与长度的比值成反比,如,若MOS管的宽度与长度的比值增大一倍,则MOS管的导通电阻减小一半。第1个MOS管的宽度与长度的比值为M1,第2个MOS管的宽度与长度的比值为M2,第3个MOS管的宽度与长度的比值为M3,...,第n-1个MOS管的宽度与长度的比值为Mn-1,第n个MOS管的宽度与长度的比值为Mn。MOS管的宽度与长度的比值即MOS管的导电沟道的宽度与导电沟道的长度的比值。
当M1:M2:M3:...:Mn-1:Mn=b 0:b 1:b 2:...:b n-2:b n-1,即M2=bM1,M3=bM2,M4=bM3,…,Mn-1=bMn-2,Mn=bMn-1时,R on1:R on2:R on3:...:R onn-1:R onn=b n-1:b n-2:...:b 2:b 1:b 0,即当第n个MOS管的宽度与长度的比值Mn为第n-1个MOS管的宽度与长度的比值Mn-1的b倍时,第n个MOS管的导通电阻R onn为第n-1个MOS管的导通电阻R onn-1的1/b倍。
进一步的,当b=a时,由R net1+R on1≥a*(R net2+R on2),R net2+R on2≥a*(R net3+R on3),R net3+R on3≥a*(R net4+R on4),…,R netn-1+R onn-1≥a*(R netn+R onn),得到:
R net1≥a*R net2,R net2≥a*R net3,R net3≥a*R net4,...,R netn-1≥a*R netn,即R net1≥a*R net2≥a 2*R net3≥……≥a n-1*R netn,也就是说, 第n-1个电容与第n-1个MOS管之间的金属线的电阻R netn-1大于或等于第n个电容与第n个MOS管之间的金属线的电阻R netn的a倍。
N个电容中的第1个电容的容值至第n个电容的容值的比例与N个MOS管中的第1个MOS管的宽度与长度的比值至第n个MOS管的宽度与长度的比值的比例相同时,第n-1个电容与第n-1个MOS管之间的金属线的电阻R netn-1大于或等于第n个电容与第n个MOS管之间的金属线的电阻R netn的a倍,可以使得电容阵列电路C的总电容调节呈单调性。
控制单元50中设置分别与N个MOS管对应的二进制信号trim<1>,trim<2>,trim<3>,…,trim<n-1>,trim<n>,当trim<1>,trim<2>,trim<3>,…,trim<n-1>,trim<n>对应的数值呈单调性变化时,电容阵列电路C输出的总电容呈单调性,RC振荡电路输出的时钟信号的频率呈单调性变化。如trim<1>,trim<2>,trim<3>,…,trim<n-1>,trim<n>对应的数值递增时,电容阵列电路C输出的总电容递增,RC振荡电路输出的时钟信号的频率递减。控制单元50还将二进制信号trim<1>,trim<2>,trim<3>,…,trim<n-1>,trim<n>分别转换成脉冲信号,并将脉冲信号传输至对应一个MOS管,MOS管在脉冲信号作用下导通或截止。
当a=b=2时,C2=2C1,C3=2C2,…,Cn-1=2Cn-2,Cn=2Cn-1,即C1:C2:C3:C4:…:Cn-1:Cn=2 0:2 1:2 2:2 3:2 4:…:2 n-2:2 n-1,C2′≥2C1′,C3′≥2C2′,C4′≥2C3′,…,C(n-1)′≥2C(n-2)′,Cn′≥2C(n-1)′,则R net1+R on1≥2*(R net2+R on2),R net2+R on2≥2*(R net3+R on3),R net3+R on3≥2*(R net4+R on4),…,
R netn-1+R onn-1≥2*(R netn+R onn),也就是说,第n-1个电容支路的电容与MOS管之间的金属线的电阻R netn-1与MOS管的导通电阻R onn-1之和大于或等于第n个电容支路的电容与MOS管之间的金属线的电阻R netn与MOS管的导通电阻R onn之和的2倍。
M1:M2:M3:...:Mn-1:Mn=2 0:2 1:2 2:...:2 n-2:2 n-1,R on1:R on2:R on3:...:R onn-1:R onn=2 n-1:2 n-2:...:2 2:2 1:2 0,即当第n个MOS管的宽度与长度的比值Mn为第n-1个MOS管的宽度与长度的比值Mn-1的2倍 时,第n个MOS管的导通电阻R onn为第n-1个MOS管的导通电阻R onn-1的1/2倍,则:
R net1≥2*R net2,R net2≥2*R net3,R net3≥2*R net4,...,R netn-1≥2*R netn,即R net1≥2*R net2≥2 2*R net3≥……≥2 n-1*R netn,也就是说,第n-1个电容与第n-1个MOS管之间的金属线的电阻R netn-1大于或等于第n个电容与第n个MOS管之间的金属线的电阻R netn的2倍。
控制单元50设置的N个MOS管中的第1个MOS管至第n个MOS管的二进制控制信号trim<1>,trim<2>,trim<3>,…,trim<n-1>,trim<n>对应的数值呈单调性变化时,RC振荡电路输出的时钟信号的频率呈单调性变化,且RC振荡电路输出的时钟信号频率变化的步进相等。
当a=b=2时,电容阵列电路C总电容调节的步进可以是C1的整数倍,电容阵列电路C总电容调节的最小步进为C1。
在其中一个实施例中,第1个电容与第1个MOS管之间的金属线为1条,第2个电容与第2个MOS管之间的金属线为a条,第3个电容与第3个MOS管之间的金属线为a 2条,...,第n-1个电容与第n-1个MOS管之间的金属线为a n-2条,第n个电容与第n个MOS管之间的金属线为a n-1条,每条金属线的电阻值相等,且每个电容与对应一个MOS管之间的金属线相互并联。其中,a为大于1的整数。

通过在第n个电容与第n个MOS管之间设置a n-1条相互并联且电阻值相等金属线,从而可以无需设置额外的电阻就可以实现电容阵列电路C总电容调节的单调性,成本低。
在其中一个实施例中,第1个电容与第1个MOS管之间的金属线为1条且该条金属线的电阻为R net1,第2个电容与第2个MOS管之间的金属线为1条且该条金属线的电阻为R net2,第3个电容与第3个MOS管之间的金属线为1条且该条金属线的电阻为R net3,...,第n-1个电容与第n-1个MOS 管之间的金属线为1条且该条金属线的电阻为R netn-1,第n个电容与第n个MOS管之间的金属线为1条且该条金属线的电阻为R netn,R net1:R net2:R net3:...:R netn-2:R netn-1:R netn=a n-1:a n-2:a n-3:...:a 2:a 1:a 0。当a=2时,R net1:R net2:R net3:...:R netn-2:R netn-1:R netn=2 n-1:2 n-2:2 n-3:...:2 2:2 1:2 0
该实施例通过在电容与对应一个MOS管之间都只设置一条金属线,从而进一步减小金属线的占用面积,且使得布线操作更简单。
