N型沟道场效应管:电子型场效应管。
可以理解,在DRAM的工作过程中,需要利用灵敏放大器实现多种操作过程中的信号放大。参见图1,其示出了一种灵敏放大器的应用场景示意图。如图1所示,该应用场景包括第一信号线11、第二信号线12、灵敏放大器113。其中,
第一信号线11上具有第一开关111和第一电容112,用于传入待处理信号Vin+;第二信号线12上具有第二开关121和第二电容122,用于传入参考待处理信号Vin-,待处理信号Vin+和参考待处理信号Vin-之间的压差为ΔVin,灵敏放大器113用于对待处理信号Vin+或参考待处理信号Vin-进行放大。在这里,第一开关111和第一电容112可视为一个存储单元,第二开关121和第二电容122可视为另一个存储单元。
具体地,灵敏放大器包括第一开关管131、第二开关管132、第三开关管133和第四开关管134。均与所述参考待处理信号Vin-连接,第一开关管131的第三端、第二开关管132的第二端、第三开关管133的第一端、第四开关管134的第一端均与所述待处理信号Vin+连接。该应用场景中还存在第五开关管135和第六开关管136,第五开关管135的第一端与第一控制信号SAP连接,第五开关管135的第二端与电源信号VBLH连接,第五开关管135的第三端、第一开关管131的第二端和第三开关管133的第二端连接,形成第一参考信号端。第六开关管136的第一端与第二控制信号SAN连接,第六开关管136的第二端与地信号GND连接,第六开关管136的第二端、第二开关管132的第三端和第四开关管134的第三端连接,形成第二参考信号端。其中,第一开关管131、第三开关管132、第五开关管135为P型场效应管,P型场效应管的第一端为栅极引脚,P型场效应管的第二端为源极引脚,P型场效应管的第三端为漏极引脚;第二开关管132、第四开关管134和第六开关管136为N型场效应管,N型场效应管的第一端为栅极引脚,N型场效应管的第二端为漏极引脚,N型场效应管的第三端为源极引脚。
另外,在第一信号线11和第二信号线12之间还可以存在预充电路,且第三开关管133的第二端和第四开关管134的第三端之间也可以存在预充电路,用于对第一参考信号端和第二参考信号端进行预充处理。
目前,灵敏放大器10的信号放大速度较慢、电路容易产生噪声,而且功耗较高,影响了半导体存储器的性能。
本公开实施例提供了一种控制放大电路,包括:功耗控制电路,用于接收功耗控制信号,并根据所述功耗控制信号输出第一参考信号;隔离电路,用于确定控制指令信号,并根据所述控制指令信号生成隔离控制信号;放大电路,用于接收所述第一参考信号、所述隔离控制信号和待处理信号,并基于所述第一参考信号和所述隔离控制信号对所述待处理信号进行处理,得到目标放大信号。这样,通过控制放大电路,能够根据功耗控制信号对第一参考信号进行调整,从而降低电路功耗。
下面将结合附图对本公开各实施例进行详细说明。
在本公开的一实施例中,参见图2,其示出了本公开实施例提供的一种控制放大电路20的组成 结构示意图。如图2所示,该控制放大电路20可以包括:
功耗控制电路21,用于接收功耗控制信号,并根据功耗控制信号输出第一参考信号;
隔离电路22,用于确定控制指令信号,并根据控制指令信号生成隔离控制信号;
放大电路23,用于接收第一参考信号、隔离控制信号和待处理信号,并基于第一参考信号和隔离控制信号对待处理信号进行处理,得到目标放大信号。
需要说明的是,本公开实施例提供的控制放大电路20可以应用在多种信号放大的场景中,例如DRAM中的灵敏放大器。
本公开实施例提供的控制放大电路20从外部接收功耗控制信号、控制指令信号和待处理信号,基于功耗控制信号和控制指令信号完成待处理信号放大过程,最终得到目标放大信号。在这里,功耗控制信号和控制指令信号均是需要根据放大电路所处的具体工作阶段进行确定。
具体地,对于控制放大电路20来说,通过功耗控制电路21,根据功耗控制信号,输出第一参考信号;通过隔离电路22,根据控制指令信号和隔离电源值,输出隔离控制信号;通过放大电路23,根据第一参考信号和隔离控制信号对待处理信号进行放大,输出目标放大信号。
这样,由于控制放大电路中设置了功耗控制电路,根据功耗控制信号能够对第一参考信号的具体电压值进行调整,对信号放大过程进行优化,能够减少电路功耗。
在一些实施例中,在图2的基础上,如图3所示,功耗控制电路21包括第一控制电路211和第二控制电路212,功耗控制信号包括第一功耗控制信号和第二功耗控制信号;其中,
第一控制电路211,用于接收第一功耗控制信号,并在第一功耗控制信号为第一电平状态时,输出具有第一电压值的第一参考控制信号;
第二控制电路212,用于接收第二功耗控制信号,并在第二功耗控制信号为第一电平状态时,输出具有第二电压值的第一参考控制信号;
在这里,第一电压值高于第二电压值。
需要说明的是,第一电平状态与第二电平状态相对,且第一电平状态(或第二电平状态)的具体电压范围需要针对具体电子器件确定。示例性地,对于P型场效应管来说,第一电平状态能够使其处于导通状态,第二电平状态能够使其处于关断状态;对于N型场效应管来说,第一电平状态能够使其处于关断状态,第二电平状态能够使其处于导通状态。在这里,由于不同开关管的规格不一样,不同开关管的第一电平状态可能是不相同的电压范围。为方便理解,在一种习惯性的表示方法中,第一电平状态可以用逻辑“1”表示,第二电平状态可以用逻辑“0”进行表示。
应理解,第一参考信号至少可以为第一电压值或者第二电压值,还可以具有更多的电压值。
这样,在第一控制电路接通时,第一参考控制信号的电压值为第一电压值,在第二控制电路接通时,第一参考控制信号的电压值为第二电压值,能够为控制电路提供更多的控制手段,优化信号放大过程,降低电路功耗。
在一些实施例中,在图3的基础上,参见图4A,本公开实施例提供的一种功耗控制电路21的结构示意图。如图4A所示,第一控制电路211包括多个第一控制子电路(例如第一控制电路211a、第一控制子电路211b),第一控制子电路包括第一开关管(例如第一开关管301a、第一开关管301b)和第二开关管302(例如第二开关管302a、第二开关管302b);其中,
第一开关管的第一端用于接收第一功耗控制信号(例如第一功耗控制信号pdn3、第一功耗控制信号pdn2),第一开关管的第三端、第二开关管的第一端和第二开关管的第二端连接,第二开关管的第三端与地信号连接,且多个第一控制子电路中的第二开关管的第二端相互连接,例如第二开关管302a和第二开关管302b的第二端处于连接状态;
第一开关管的第二端用于输出第一参考信号NCS。
需要说明的是,图4A中示出了2个第一控制子电路,但实际应用场景中第一控制子电路可以更多或者更少。另外,第一功耗控制信号的数量也为多个,且一个第一功耗控制信号输入到一个第一控制子电路中。在这里,不同的第一功耗控制信号各自的电平状态可以是相同的,也可以是不同的。换句话说,一个第一控制子电路被一个第一功耗控制信号单独进行控制。
如图4A所示,第一开关管、第二开关管均为N型场效应管。在后续说明中,N型场效应管的第一端为栅极引脚,N型场效应管的第二端为漏级引脚,N型场效应管的第三端为源极引脚。
示例性地,在第一功耗控制信号pdn3和第一功耗控制信号pdn2均为第一电平状态的情况下,第一开关管301a和第二开关管302a均是导通的,将第一参考信号的电位下拉至第一电压值Vt,Vt是指第二开关管302a和第二开关管302b的阈值电压。在这里,如果第二开关管302a和第二开关管302b的阈值电压不同,则Vt指的是第二开关管302a的栅极开启电压和第二开关管302b阈值电压中 较高的一者。
通过第二开关管的设置,降低流经第一开关管的电流,而第二开关管的特殊连接,导致流经第二开关管的电流极小,功耗非常低,并且能够为NCS端提供稳定的第一电压值Vt。
另外,通过控制处于导通状态的第一开关管的数量,还可以控制电压下拉的速度,进而可以减少信号放大过程中信号电平降低时产生的噪声。
在一些实施例中,参见图4B,本公开实施例提供的另一种功耗控制电路21的结构示意图。如图4B所示,第一开关管的第三端和第二开关管的第一端之间设置开关,且开关的控制端与省电控制信号连接;其中,在第一功耗控制信号为第一电平状态时,通过省电控制信号控制开关处于闭合状态。
这样,通过在第一控制子电路中设置开关,并引入省电控制信号进行控制,能够更好地控制第二开关管的工作状态。
在一些实施例中,如图4A或者图4B所示,第二控制电路212包括多个第二控制子电路(例如第二控制子电路212a、第二控制子电路212b),且第二控制子电路包括第三开关管(例如第三开关管303a、第三开关管303b);其中,
第三开关管的第一端用于接收第二功耗控制信号(例如第二功耗控制信号pdn0、第二功耗控制信号pdn1),第三开关管的第三端与地信号连接,第三开关管的第二端用于输出第一参考信号NCS。
需要说明的是,图4A以及图4B中各自示出了2个第二控制子电路,但实际应用场景中第二控制子电路可以更多或者更少。另外,第二功耗控制信号的数量也为多个,且一个第二功耗控制信号输入到一个第二控制子电路中。在这里,不同的第二功耗控制信号各自的电平状态可以是相同的,也可以是不同的。换句话说,一个第二控制子电路被一个第二功耗控制信号单独进行控制。如图5所示,第三开关管均为N型场效应管。
示例性地,在第二功耗控制信号pdn1和第二功耗控制信号pdn0均为第一电平状态的情况下,第三开关管303a和第三开关管303b均是导通的,将第一参考信号的电位下拉至第二电压值Vss。由于第三开关管的第三端与地电位连接,所以第二电压值Vss也可称为地电位。
另外,通过控制处于导通状态的第三开关管的数量,还可以控制电压下拉的速度,进而可以减少信号放大过程中信号电平降低时产生的噪声。
在一些实施例中,如图4A或者图4B所示,功耗控制电路21还包括控制信号生成电路213;其中,
控制信号生成电路包括多个第一反向器(例如第一反向器321a、第一反向器321b、第一反向器321c、第一反向器321d),且第一反向器用于接收初始控制信号(例如初始控制信号IDD3P0、初始控制信号IDD3P1、初始控制信号IDD3P2、初始控制信号IDD3P3),并生成功耗控制信号(例如第一功耗控制信号pdn3、第一功耗控制信号pdn2、第二功耗控制信号pdn1、第二功耗控制信号pdn0)。
也就是说,在这些第一反向器中,一个第一反向器用于输出一个第一功耗控制信号,或者用于输出一个第二功耗控制信号。相应地,在多个第一反向器中,每个第一控制子电路的第一功耗控制信号通过一个第一反向器输出,每个第二控制子电路的第二功耗控制信号通过一个第一反向器输出。
需要说明的是,图4a中示出了4个第一反向器,但实际应用场景中第一反向器可以更多或者更少。另外,初始控制信号的数量也为多个,且一个初始控制信号输入到一个第一反向器中。在这里,不同的初始控制信号各自的电平状态可以是不同的。换句话说,一个第一反向器被一个初始控制信号单独进行控制。
示例性地,在初始控制信号IDD3P0和初始控制信号IDD3P1均为第二电平状态时,第一反向器321a输出处于第一电平状态的第二功耗控制信号pdn0,第一反向器321b输出处于第一电平状态的第二功耗控制信号pdn1,从而第三开关管303a和第三开关管303b导通,第一参考信号被下拉至第二电压值Vss。
反之,在初始控制信号IDD3P0和初始控制信号IDD3P1均为第一电平状态,初始控制信号IDD3P2和初始控制信号IDD3P3均为第二电平状态,此时,第一反向器321a输出处于第二电平状态的第二功耗控制信号pdn0,第一反向器321b输出处于第二电平状态的第一功耗控制信号pdn1,第一反向器321c输出处于第一电平状态的第一功耗控制信号pdn2,第一反向器321d输出处于第一电平状态的第二功耗控制信号pdn3,从而第一开关管301a和第一开关管301b导通,且第三开关管303a和第三开关管303b关断,第一参考信号被下拉至第一电压值Vt。此时第一开关管301a的源漏电压差变小,流经第一开关管301a的电流也会变小,第一开关管301a的功率相对于第三开关管303a降低。第一开关管301b相对于第三开关管303b功率同样降低。
还需要说明的是,如图4A或者图4B所示,第一反向器的输入端还与电源信号Vncsg连接。在初始控制信号处于第二电平状态的情况下,第二反向器根据电源信号Vncsg输出处于第一电平状态的功耗控制信号,在初始控制信号处于第一电平状态的情况下,第二反向器输出处于第二电平状态的功耗控制信号。参见图5,其示出了本公开实施例提供的一种反向器的结构示意图。如图5(a)所示,第一反向器321a可以通过一个N型场效应管和一个P型场效应管实现。
这样,通过第一控制电路和第二控制电路,可以控制第一参考信号被下拉至第一电压值或者第二电压值,以便后续优化信号处理过程,减少电路功耗。
在一些实施例中,如图3所示,控制放大电路20还包括参考控制电路24;
参考控制电路24,用于确定参考控制信号,并根据参考控制信号输出第二参考信号;
放大电路23,还用于接收第一参考信号、第二参考信号、隔离控制信号和待处理信号,并基于第一参考信号、第二参考信号和隔离控制信号对待处理信号进行处理,得到所述目标放大信号。
需要说明的是,第一参考信号可以为放大电路23提供低参考电位,第二参考信号可以为放大电路23提供高参考电位,以便于放大电路23可以根据高参考电位和低参考电位对待处理信号进行放大处理。
应理解,在第一参考信号作为低参考电位时,其具体的电压值可以为第一电压值Vt或者第二电压值Vss。由于第一电压值Vt高于第二电压值Vss,导致第一开关管301a源漏电压差减小,并且流经第一开关管301a的电流相对于流经第三开关管303a电流也会降低,使得在维持放大电路23一端处于低参考电位时,降低第一控制电路的工作电流,放大电路23在信号放大过程中能够节省一部分功耗。
在一种具体的实施例中,在图3的基础上,参见图6A,其示出了本公开实施例提供的一种参考控制电路24的结构示意图。如图6A所示,参考控制电路24包括多个第三控制子电路(例如第三控制子电路241a、第三控制子电路241b、第三控制子电路241c),且第三控制子电路包括第四开关管(例如第四开关管304a、第四开关管304b、第四开关管304c);其中,
第四开关管的一端与参考控制信号(例如参考控制信号pup1、参考控制信号pup2、参考控制信号pup3)连接,第四开关管的第二端与第一预设电源(例如第一预设电源Vblh1、第一预设电源Vblh2、第一预设电源Vblh3)连接,第四开关管的第三端用于输出第二参考信号PCS。
需要说明的是,图6A中示出了3个第三控制子电路,但实际应用场景中第四开关管可以更多或者更少。另外,参考控制信号的数量也为多个,且一个参考控制信号对应一个第三控制子电路。多个参考控制信号的电平状态可以是不同的,即参考控制信号pup1、参考控制信号pup2、参考控制信号pup3各自的电平状态是单独变化的。也就是说,一个第三控制子电路被一个参考控制信号单独进行控制。
如图6A所示,第四开关管可以为N型场效应管。因此,以第四开关管304a为例,在第二参考控制信号pup1为第二电平状态的情况下,第四开关管304a是关断的;在第一参考控制信号pup1为第一电平状态的情况下,第四开关管304a是导通的,且处于导通的第四开关管将根据第一预设电源Vblh1对第二参考信号PCS进行充电,从而为第二电平状态提供高参考电位。
需要说明的是,不同的第四开关管各自连接一个单独的第三预设电源,这些第三预设电源的电压值可以不相同,以提供第二参考信号PCS不同的电压升高速度。另外,通过控制处于导通状态的第四开关管数量,也可以控制电压升高速度。这样,通过控制电压升高速度不同,可以减少信号放大过程中信号电平升高时产生的噪声。
在另一种具体的实施例中,在图3的基础上,参见图6B,其示出了本公开实施例提供的另一种参考控制电路24的结构示意图。如图6B所示,参考控制电路24包括多个信号处理子电路(例如信号处理子电路242a、信号处理子电路242b、信号处理子电路242c)和多个第三控制子电路(例如第三控制子电路241a、第三控制子电路241b、第三控制子电路241c);其中,
信号处理子电路包括多个第二反向器(例如第二反向器322a、第二反向器322b、第二反向器322c),且第二反向器用于接收初始参考信号(例如初始参考信号Vpu1、初始参考信号Vpu2、初始参考信号Vpu3),并生成参考控制信号(例如参考控制信号pup1、参考控制信号pup2、参考控制信号pup3);
第三控制子电路包括第四开关管(例如第四开关管304a、第四开关管304b、第四开关管304c),第四开关管的第一端与参考控制信号连接,第四开关管的第二端与第一预设电源(例如第一预设电源Vblh1、第一预设电源Vblh2、第一预设电源Vblh3)连接,第四开关管的第三端,用于输出第二参考信号PCS。
在这里,多个信号处理子电路和多个第三控制子电路一一对应。
也就是说,参考控制信号是根据初始控制信号经由一个第二反向器后得到的,以匹配不同应用场景下的控制逻辑。换句话说,一个初始参考信号输入到一个第二反向器中,从而一个第二反向器输出一个参考控制信号,一个参考控制信号单独输入到一个第四开关管。
以第四开关管304a为例,在初始控制信号Vpu1为第一电平状态的情况下,参考控制信号pup1为第二电平状态,第四开关管304a是关断的;初始控制信号Vpu1为第二电平状态的情况下,参考控制信号pup1为第一电平状态,第五开关管304a是导通的。这样,处于导通的第四开关管将根据第一预设电源Vblh1对第二参考信号PCS进行充电,从而为放大电路23提供高参考电位。
第一参考信号和第二参考信号还连接有第四预设电源,能够在功耗控制信号和参考控制信号全部处于第二电平状态时,维持第一参考信号和第二参考信号在参考电压值。其中,第一电压值低于参考电压值,第一电压值低于第四电压值的一半,以保障数据读取的准确性。
需要说明的是,如图6B所示,第三反向器的输入端还与电源信号Vpcsg连接。在初始控制信号处于第二电平状态的情况下,第二反向器根据电源信号输出处于第一电平状态的参考控制信号,在初始控制信号处于第一电平状态的情况下,第二反向器输出处于第二电平状态的参考控制信号。如图5(b)所示,第二反向器322a可以通过一个N型场效应管和一个P型场效应管实现。
在一些实施例中,如图3所示,隔离电路22包括第一信号确定电路221、电源输出电路222、第二信号确定电路223和隔离控制电路224;其中,
第一信号确定电路221,用于在接收到预设操作指令之后,根据预设操作指令输出第一电源切换信号和/或第二电源切换信号;
电源输出电路222,用于根据第一电源切换信号和/或第二电源切换信号,输出隔离电源值;
第二信号确定电路223,用于在接收到预设操作指令之后,根据预设操作指令,输出控制指令信号;
隔离控制电路224,用于接收隔离电源值和控制指令信号,生成隔离控制信号。
需要说明的是,以DRAM为例,预设操作指令可以是读指令、写指令或者刷新指令。
需要说明的是,隔离控制信号是根据隔离电源值和预设操作指令生成的,且隔离电源值的电压大小可以根据第一电源切换信号和/或第二电源切换信号进行确定,第一电源切换信号和/或第二电源切换信号在图3中表示为电源切换信号进行确定。
这样,利用电源切换信号能够对隔离电源值进行控制,后续可以通过改变电源切换信号来调整隔离电源值的具体电压值大小,进而隔离控制信号的具体电压值大小,优化信号放大过程,部分改善信号放大速度慢、容易产生噪声的问题。
以下以电源切换信号同时包括第一电源切换信号和第二电源切换信号为例,提供一种电源输出电路222的可行结构。
在一些实施例中,电源输出电路,用于在第一电源切换信号具有第二电平状态,且第二电源切换信号具有第一电平状态时,确定隔离电源值具有第三电压值;或者在第一电源切换信号具有第一电平状态且第二电源信号具有第二电平状态时,确定隔离电源值具有第四电压值。
在这里,第三电压值与第四电压值均属于第一电平状态,第三电压值大于第四电压值。
这样,电源输出电路222可以输出两种不同电压值的隔离电源值,而非一种固定电压值的电源信号。这样,在放大电路23的不同工作阶段,可以通过调整隔离电源值的电压值来提供更多的控制手段,从而部分改善信号放大速度慢、电路噪声大的问题。
在一些实施例中,隔离控制电路,具体用于在控制指令信号具有第一电平状态且隔离电源值具有第三电压值的情况下,确定隔离控制信号具有第三电压值;或者
在控制指令信号具有第一电平状态且隔离电源值具有第四电压值的情况下,确定隔离控制信号具有第四电压值;或者
在控制指令信号具有第二电平状态的情况下,确定隔离控制信号具有第五电压值;
其中,第五电压值属于第二电平状态,第五电压值小于第四电压值。
需要说明的是,对于隔离电路22来说,在控制指令信号处于第一电平状态的情况下,隔离控制信号处于第一电平状态,且隔离控制信号与隔离电压值的电压值相同;在控制指令信号具有第二电平状态的情况下,控制指令信号处于第二电平状态,或者说控制指令信号具有第五电压值。
示例性地,在一种习惯性的表示方法中,第三电压值和第四电压值均可以表示为逻辑“1”,第五电压值可以表示为逻辑“0”。以上仅为示意性说明,并不具有实际限定内容。
这样,隔离控制信号存在三种不同的电压值,可以提供更多的控制手段,以便优化信号放大过 程,改善信号放大速度慢、电路噪声大的问题。
在图3的基础上,参见图7,其示出了本公开实施例提供的一种隔离电路22的结构示意图。如图7所示,电源输出电路222可以包括第二预设电源VisoH、第三预设电源VisoL、第五开关管305和第六开关管306;其中,
第五开关管305的第一端与第一电源切换信号连接,第六开关管306的第一端与第二电源切换信号连接;
第五开关管305的第二端与第二预设电源VisoH连接,第六开关管306的第二端与第三预设电源VisoL连接;
第五开关管305的第三端,与第六开关管306的第三端连接,用于输出隔离电源值VisoInt。
在这里,第二预设电源VisoH用于输出第三电压值,第三预设电源VisoL用于输出第四电压值。
需要说明的是,如图7所示,第五开关管305、第六开关管306均为P型场效应管。在后续说明中,P型场效应管的第一端为栅极引脚,P型场效应管的第二端为源级引脚,P型场效应管的第三端为漏极引脚。
需要说明的是,在第一电源切换信号处于第二电平状态且第二电源切换信号处于第一电平状态时,第五开关管305导通且第六开关管306关断,所以隔离电源值VisoInt与第二预设电源VisoH的电压值相同,即隔离电源值VisoInt为第三电压值;在第一电源切换信号处于第一电平状态且第二电源切换信号处于第二电平状态时,第五开关管305关断且第六开关管306导通,所以隔离电源值VisoInt与第三预设电源VisoL的电压值相同,即隔离电源值VisoInt为第四电压值。
在一些实施例中,如图7所示,隔离控制电路224可以包括第三反向器323、第七开关管307和第八开关管308;其中,
第三反向器323的输入端与第二信号确定电路223的输出端连接,接收第二信号确定电路223输出的控制指令信号,第三反向器323的输出端分别与第七开关管307的第一端和第八开关管308的第一端连接;
第七开关管307的第二端与隔离电源值VisoInt连接,第八开关管308的第三端与地信号连接;
第七开关管307的第三端,与第八开关管308的第二端连接,用于输出隔离控制信号Iso。
需要说明的是,第七开关管307为P型场效应管,第八开关管308为N型场效应管。
这样,在控制指令信号处于第一电平状态的情况下,第七开关管307处于导通状态,第八开关管308处于关断状态,从而隔离控制信号Iso的电压值与隔离电源值的电压值VisoInt相同,即第三电压值或者第四电压值;在控制指令信号处于第二电平状态的情况下,第七开关管307处于关断状态,第八开关管308处于导通状态,从而隔离控制信号Iso具有第五电压值,相当于接地电位。
这样,本公开实施例中,在隔离控制信号Iso处于第一电平状态的前提下,还可以控制隔离控制信号Iso为较高电压(第三电压值)或者较低电压(第四电压值),以适应不同放大阶段的电压需求和信号传输速度,进而优化信号放大过程,提高信号放大速度,减弱电路噪声。
以DRAM为例,放大电路23还需要与位线/互补位线连接。在初始状态,位线和互补位线上的电位是相同的。在位线上的存储单元开启后,该存储单元与位线进行电荷分享,从而位线上的电位升高或者降低,形成待处理信号;同时互补位线上的存储单元始终是关闭的,因此互补位线上的电位不变,形成参考待处理信号。由于位线上的电位升高和降低,位线和互补位线之间的压差会发生变化,从而放大电路23中的部分器件接通,将待处理信号进行放大,得到目标放大信号。
放大电路23在开始放大的时候,将隔离控制信号Iso设置于第四电压值,导致位线或互补位线的电压升高缓慢,不会产生较大噪声,从而影响相邻存储单元的存储数据,因此能够提高放大电路23的感测幅度,但放大电路23内部节点却能够迅速达到低参考电位或高参考电位。在后续放大阶段将隔离控制信号Iso设置于第三电压值,流经位线或互补位线的电压变大,由于放大电路23内部节点电压已经变化,会快速将位线或互补位线拉高或拉低,提高信号放大速度,抑制位线或互补位线电位升高时的噪声。
后续,放大电路23完成信号放大过程,具体说明参见后续内容。
基于此,在一种具体的实施中,在图3的基础上,参见图8,其示出了本公开实施例提供的一种放大电路23的结构示意图。如图8所示,放大电路23可以包括第九开关管309、第十开关管310、第十一开关管311和第十二开关管312,控制电路232包括第十三开关管313和第十四开关管314;
第九开关管309的第一端,与第十三开关管313的第三端连接,用于接收待处理信号,第九开关管309的第二端、第十一开关管311的第三端、第十二开关管312的第一端与第十四开关管314的第二端连接;
第十开关管310的第一端,与第十四开关管314的第三端连接,用于接收参考待处理信号,第十开关管310的第二端、第十二开关管312的第三端、第十一开关管311的第一端与第十三开关管313的第二端连接;
第九开关管309的第三端、第十开关管310的第三端与第一参考信号NCS连接,第十一开关管311的第二端、第十二开关管312的第二端与第二参考信号PCS连接,第十三开关管313的第一端、第十四开关管314的第一端与隔离控制信号Iso连接。
需要说明的是,第九开关管309、第十开关管310、第十三开关管313和第十四开关管314为N型场效应管,第十一开关管311和第十二开关管312为P型场效应管。
这样,在隔离控制信号Iso处于第一电平状态(具有第三电压值或者第四电压值)的情况下,第十三开关管313和第十四开关管314是导通的,在隔离控制信号Iso处于第二电平状态(具有第五电压值)的情况下,控制电路232中的第十三开关管313和第十四开关管314是关断的。
在信号放大的过程中,放大电路23会处于不同的工作阶段,需要通过隔离控制信号Iso来向放大电路23传输待处理信号和参考待处理信号,以加快放大电路23的放大过程,因此隔离控制信号Iso会对信号放大过程产生影响。而本公开实施例中提供的隔离控制信号Iso具有三个电压值,通过调整隔离控制信号Iso的电压值,以适用于不同的工作阶段的放大电路23,能够优化信号放大过程,进而改善信号放大速度慢、电路噪声大的问题。
在一些实施例中,如图8所示,放大电路23还包括预充电路,且预充电路包括第十五开关管315和第十六开关管316;其中,
第十五开关管315的第一端、第十六开关管316的第一端与预充信号Eq连接;
第十五开关管315的第二端与第四预设电源连接,第十五开关管315的第三端与第十开关管310的第二端连接;
第十六开关管316的第三端与第九开关管309的第二端连接,第十六开关管316的第二端与第十开关管310的第二端连接。
在这里,第十五开关管315和第十六开关管316均为N型场效应管。
这样,预充电路响应于预充信号Eq,根据第四预设电源为放大电路23进行预充处理,在预充处理结束后使得放大电路23的各电路节点处于相同的参考电压值。
在一些实施例中,在图8的基础上,如图9所示,放大电路23还包括噪声消除电路,噪声消除电路包括第十七开关管317和第十八开关管318;其中,
第十七开关管317的第一端、第十八开关管318的第一端与噪声消除信号Nc连接;
第十七开关管317的第二端与第九开关管309的第二端连接,第十七开关管317的第三端与第九开关管309的第一端连接;
第十八开关管318的第二端与第十开关管310的第二端连接,第十八开关管318的第三端与第十开关管310的第一端连接。
在这里,第十七开关管317和第十八开关管318均为N型场效应管。因此,在噪声消除信号处于第一电平状态的情况下,第十七开关管317和第十八开关管318处于接通状态,以使得第九开关管309的第一端和第三端短接,且第十开关管310的第一端和第三端短接,并控制第一参考信号NCS处于第一电压值Vt,第二参考信号PCS处于高参考电位,从而对第九开关管309和第十开关管310进行偏移消除操作。这样,可以进一步消除信号放大过程中的开关管的阈值差异,提高放大过程中对待处理信号感测的准确性。
特别地,图3-图9仅为控制放大电路的示例性结构,其中,第五开关管305、第六开关管306、第七开关管307、第十一开关管311和第十二开关管312为P型沟道场效应管;
第一开关管301、第二开关管302、第三开关管303、第四开关管304、第八开关管308、第九开关管309、第十开关管310、第十三开关管313、第十四开关管314、第十五开关管315、第十六开关管316、第十七开关管317和第十八开关管318为N型沟道场效应管;
其中,所述P型沟道场效应管的第一端为栅极端,所述P型沟道场效应管的第二端为源极端,所述P型沟道场效应管的第三端为漏极端;所述N型沟道场效应管的第一端为栅极端,所述N型沟道场效应管的第二端为漏极端,所述N型沟道场效应管的第三端为源极端。
当然,以上开关管的选型并不构成本公开实施例的限制,在实际应用场景中,可以通过多种类型的电路器件实现前述的电路控制逻辑,可以依据实际应用场景进行具体选择。
本公开实施例提供了一种控制放大电路,一方面,通过增加功耗控制电路,第一参考信号在作为低参考电位的前提下可以为较大电压值(第一电压值Vt)或者较小电压值(第二电压值Vss),后 续可以根据放大电路的工作阶段调整第一参考信号的电压值,以便减少电路功耗;另一方面,通过增加电源切换电路,从而提供具有两个电压值的隔离电源值,进而隔离控制电路可以根据隔离电源值输出具有三个不同电压值(第三电压值、第四电压值或者第五电压值)的隔离控制信号。在放大电路处于非工作状态时,可以将隔离电源值的电压下降至第二电压值,以减少隔离控制电路中的开关管漏电现象,避免开关管失效,能够延长隔离控制电路的使用寿命;再一方面,在放大电路工作的不同阶段,调整隔离控制信号的电压值处于第三电压值或第四电压值,加快隔离控制电路的电压变化速度,优化信号放大过程,以改善信号放大速度慢、电路噪声大的问题。
在本公开的另一实施例中,参见图10,其示出了本公开实施例提供的一种控制放大电路20的应用场景示意图。如图10所示,在该应用场景中,存在位线Bla、互补位线Blb、读出位线saBla、互补读出位线saBlb和控制放大电路20。在位线Bla上设置有第一存储单元41,在互补位线Blb上设置有第二存储单元42。
控制放大电路20包括功耗控制电路21、隔离电路22、放大电路23和参考控制电路24。其中,功耗控制电路21包括多个第一开关管(例如第一开关管301、第一开关管301b)、多个第二开关管(例如第二开关管302a、第二开关管302b)、多个开关、多个第三开关管(例如第三开关管303a、第三开关管303b)、多个第一反向器(例如第一反向器321a、第一反向器321b、第一反向器321c、第一反向器321d)。参考控制电路24包括多个第四开关管(例如第四开关管304a、第四开关管304b、第四开关管304c)和多个第二反向器(例如第二反向器322a、第二反向器322b、第二反向器322c)。隔离电路22包括第一信号确定电路221、第二信号确定电路223、第二预设电源VisoH、第三预设电源VisoL、第五开关管305、第六开关管306、第七开关管307、第八开关管308和第三反向器323。放大电路23包括第九开关管309、第十开关管310、第十一开关管311、第十二开关管312、第十三开关管313、第十四开关管314、第十五开关管315、第十六开关管316。
第十开关管310的第二端、第十二开关管312的第三端、第十一开关管311的第一端及第十三开关管313的第二端连接均连接在读出位线saBla上,第九开关管309的第二端、第十一开关管311的第三端、第十二开关管312的第一端及第十四开关管314的第二端均连接在互补读出位线saBlb上。
第十三开关管313的第三端与第九开关管309的第一端连接在位线Bla上,第十开关管310的第一端与第十四开关管314的第三端连接在互补位线Blb上,第十三开关管313响应于隔离控制信号Iso将位线Bla与读出位线saBla连接,第十四开关管314响应与隔离控制信号Iso将互补位线Blb与互补读出位线saBlb连接。
第十五开关管315的第三端与互补读出位线saBlb连接,第十六开关管316的第三端连接读出位线saBla,第十六开关管316的第二端连接互补读出位线saBlb,响应于均衡信号Eq,将位线Bla、互补位线Blb、读出位线saBla及互补读出位线saBlb均衡至参考电压值。
在该应用场景中,各器件的类型及连接关系如图9所示,且图9中各符号含义和电路的工作原理具体可参见前述内容,在此不做赘述。
在图10的基础上,参见图11,其示出了本公开实施例提供的另一种控制放大电路20的应用场景示意图。如图11所示,放大电路中还具有第十七开关管317和第十八开关管318。第十七开关管317的第二端连接互补读出位线saBlb,第十七开关管317的第三端连接位线Bla,第十八开关管318的第二端连接读出位线saBla,第十八开关管318的第三端连接互补位线Blb。响应于噪声消除信号Nc,通过控制第一参考信号NCS处于第一电压值Vt,第二参考信号PCS处于高参考电位,对第九开关管309和第十开关管310进行偏移消除操作。
简单来说,功耗控制电路21用于向放大电路23输出作为低参考电位的第一参考信号NCS,参考控制电路24用于向放大电路23输出作为高参考电位的第二参考信号PCS。隔离电路22用于向放大电路23输出隔离控制信号Iso。放大电路根据隔离控制信号Iso、第一参考信号NCS、第二参考信号PCS对待处理信号进行放大,获得目标放大信号。另外,参考控制电路24还会响应于预充信号进行预充操作,以及响应于噪声消除信号进行偏移消除操作。
在这里,第一参考信号NCS在作为低参考电位时可以具有第一电压值Vt或者第二电压值Vss,隔离控制信号在处于第一电平状态时可以为第四电压值或者第三电压值,隔离控制信号在处于第二电平状态时可以为第五电压值。
应理解,在信号放大的过程中,放大电路23具有不同的工作阶段,不同工作阶段中各信号(例如隔离控制信号Iso/预充信号Eq/噪声消除信号Nc/第一参考信号NCS/第二参考信号PCS等等)的 电平状态是不同的,以便放大电路23执行不同的任务。
示例性地,以图11的控制放大电路为例,放大电路23对待处理信号进行处理时包括:待机阶段、噪声消除阶段、第一电荷分享阶段、第二电荷分享阶段、信号放大阶段、信号回写阶段、信号稳定阶段和预充阶段;
若放大电路23处于第二电荷分享阶段或信号放大阶段或预充阶段,则维持隔离控制信号具有第三电压值;或者
若放大电路23处于待机阶段或信号回写阶段,则维持隔离控制信号具有第四电压值;或者
若放大电路23处于噪声消除阶段或者第一电荷分享阶段,则维持隔离控制信号具有第五电压值。
在一些实施例中,在放大电路23处于信号回写阶段时,第一功耗控制信号处于第一电平状态,且第二功耗控制信号处于第二电平状态;放大电路23处于待机阶段或噪声消除阶段或第一电荷分享阶段或第二电荷分享阶段或信号放大阶段或预充阶段时,第一功耗控制信号处于第二电平状态。
这样,一方面,通过调整隔离控制信号具有不同的电压值,能够优化信号处理过程,改善信号放大速度慢、电路噪声大的问题;另一方面,通过第一调整功耗控制信号和第二功耗控制信号,能够控制第一参考信号的电压值,减少电路功耗。
以下对放大电路23在各工作阶段的工作原理和各信号的具体变化情况进行说明。
在图11的基础上,参见图12,其示出了本公开实施例提供的一种放大电路的信号时序示意图。在图12中,VisoInt是指前述的隔离电源值,可以为第三电压值VisoH、第四电压值VisoL;Iso是指前述的隔离控制信号,可以为第五电压值Vss、第三电压值VisoH、第四电压值VisoL;Eq是指前述的预充信号,Nc是指前述的噪声消除信号;SanEn1是指前述的第一功耗控制信号,SanEn2是指前述的第二功耗控制信号,SapEn是指前述的参考控制信号;WL是存储单元的开启信号,在WL为第一电平状态时,存储单元与位线接通,在WL为第二电平状态时,存储单元和位线不接通;NCS/PCS是指第一参考信号/第二参考信号,第一参考信号具有参考电压值、第一电压值Vt或者第二电压值Vss,且第一电压值Vt或者第二电压值Vss均可以称为低参考电位,第二参考信号具有参考电压值或者高参考电位;Bla是指位线,Blb是指互补位线。
在放大电路23处于待机阶段时,隔离电源值VisoInt维持第四电压值VisoL,隔离控制信号Iso维持第四电压值VisoL,预充信号Eq和噪声消除信号Nc处于第一电平状态,第一功耗控制信号SanEn1、第二功耗控制信号SanEn2、参考控制信号SapEn和字线开启信号WL均处于第二电平状态。此时,第十三开关管313~第十八开关管318导通,从而第四预设电源向放大电路23充电,以实现放大电路23中的各节点电压、位线Bla、互补位线Blb、读出位线saBla、互补读出位线saBlb、第一参考信号NCS和第二参考信号PCS均为参考电压值,且参考电压值处于低参考电位和高参考电位,为后续执行预设操作指令作好准备。
在接收到预设操作指令之后,放大电路23进入噪声消除阶段,隔离控制信号Iso调整为第五电压值Vss,从而第十三开关管313、第十四开关管314关断。同时,预充信号Eq调整为第二电平状态,第十五开关管315和第十六开关管316关断,噪声消除信号Nc仍然处于第一电平状态,所以第十七开关管317和第十八开关管318导通,参考控制信号SapEn和第二功耗控制信号SanEn2先由第二电平状态调整为第一电平状态,第三开关管303a和第四开关管304a导通,实现第一参考信号NCS处于第二电压值Vt,第二参考信号PCS处于高参考电位,从而对第九开关管309和第十开关管310进行偏移消除处理,消除第九开关管309和第十开关管310的阈值电压差。另外,在噪声消除阶段,第二功耗控制信号SanEn2仍旧为第二电平状态。特别地,在该阶段中,隔离电源值VisoInt提前调整为第三电压值,后续可以加快隔离控制信号Iso在电压升高时的速度,提高信号处理速度。
以下以预设操作指令信号为针对第一存储单元41的刷新指令为例进行说明。
在结束噪声消除阶段后,参考控制信号SapEn和第二功耗控制信号SanEn2先调整为第二电平状态,第一参考信号NCS和第二参考信号PCS调整至参考电压值,放大电路23进入第一电荷分享阶段,存储单元开启信号WL调整为第一电平状态,指示开启第一存储单元41与位线Bla进行电荷分享,生成待处理信号。如图12所示,在该阶段中,位线Bla上生成了待处理信号,同时由于第二存储单元42不会开启,互补位线Blb上仍然维持参考电压值,可认为互补位线Blb上存在参考待处理信号。在该过程中,隔离控制信号Iso维持第五电压值Vss,第十三开关管313、第十四开关管314关断,从而位线Bla与读出位线saBla不接通,且互补位线Blb与互补读出位线saBlb不接通,避免影响第一存储单元41和位线Bla之间的电荷分享。另外,预充信号Eq、噪声消除信号Nc、第一功耗控制信号SanEn1、第二功耗控制信号SanEn2和参考控制信号SapEn仍处于第二电平状态,第一 参考控制信号NCS和第二参考控制信号PCS均具有参考电压值。
在结束第一电荷分享阶段后,放大电路23进入第二电荷分享阶段,隔离控制信号Iso调整为第三电压值VisoH,第十三开关管313、第十四开关管314导通,从而位线Bla与读出位线saBla接通,且互补位线Blb与互补读出位线saBlb接通,从而位线Bla与读出位线saBla进行电荷分享,互补位线Blb与互补读出位线saBlb进行电荷分享,放大电路23从位线Bla处接收待处理信号,且放大电路23从互补位线Blb处接收参考待处理信号。另外,预充信号Eq、噪声消除信号Nc、第一功耗控制信号SanEn1、第二功耗控制信号SanEn2和参考控制信号SapEn仍处于第二电平状态,第一参考控制信号NCS和第二参考控制信号PCS均具有参考电压值。
在结束第二电荷分享阶段后,控制放大电路20进入信号放大阶段,第二功耗控制信号SanEn2和参考控制信号SapEn调整为第一电平状态,从而第一参考信号NCS由参考电压值下降至第二电压值Vss(低参考电位),第二参考信号PCS由参考电压值升高至高参考电位,放大电路23依据第一参考信号NCS和第二参考信号PCS对待处理信号进行放大处理,将待处理信号的电压值拉高或拉低处理,得到目标放大信号。另外,隔离控制信号Iso由第四电压值VisoL升高至第三电压值VisoH,提高电荷传输速度,预充信号Eq和噪声消除信号Nc均维持第二电平状态。如图12所示,在信号放大阶段,位线Bla和互补位线Blb之间的信号压差增大。
在结束信号放大阶段后,放大电路23进入信号回写阶段,主要通过放大后的位线Bla的电压值恢复第一存储单元41内的存储数据,避免数据失效。此时,隔离电源值VisoInt从第三电压值VisoH降低为第四电压值VisoL从而隔离控制信号Iso从第三电压值VisoH降低为第四电压值VisoL。第一功耗控制信号SanEn1从第二电平状态调整为第一电平状态,第二功耗控制信号SanEn2从第一电平状态调整为第二电平状态,即放大电路23进入省电模式(或称为IDD3P模式),此时第一参考电压值NCS由第二电压值Vss调整为第一电压值Vt,减少电路功耗。
在结束信号回写阶段后,存储单元开启信号WL调整为第二电平状态,指示第一存储单元41关闭。
省电模式结束时间可早于第一存储单元41关闭时间,约占回写阶段的80%时间段。省电模式结束后第一功耗控制信号SanEn1从第一电平状态调整为第二电平状态,第二功耗控制信号SanEn2从第二电平状态调整为第一电平状态,此时第一参考电压值NCS由第一电压值Vt调整为第二电压值Vss。若将目标信号拉低处理,由于位线Bla及第一存储单元41内的电压较低,能够迅速从第二电压值Vss调整为第一电压值Vt,迅速将第一存储单元41内的存储数据恢复至最低状态。
省电模式结束时间可等于第一存储单元41关闭时间,省电模式结束即回写阶段结束,若将目标信号拉低处理,由于第一存储单元41内的电压维持第一电压值Vt,低于参考电压值,不影响下一次数据读取操作。
放大电路23进入预充阶段,VisoInt隔离电源值先调整为第三电压值VisoH后下降为第四电压值VisoL,隔离控制信号Iso先调整为第三电压值VisoH后下降至第四电压值VisoL,节省第十三开关管303和第十四开关管304的功耗,并延长器件寿命;在隔离控制信号调整为第四电压值VisoL之后,预充信号Eq、噪声消除信号Nc调整为第一电平状态,同时第一功耗控制信号SanEn1调整为第二电平状态,第二功耗控制信号SanEn2先升高为第一电平状态再恢复为第二电平状态,这样,第一参考信号NCS由第一电压值Vt下降至第二电压值Vss再上升至参考电压值,第二参考信号PCS从高参考电位恢复至第四电压值。位线Bla/互补位线Blb、读出位线saBla/互补读出位线saBlb将恢复至的参考电压值。
在结束预充阶段后,放大电路23再次进入待机阶段,以准备下一次操作。
在相关技术中,参见图13,其示出了相关技术提供的一种信号时序示意图。由于相关技术中的控制放大电路缺少功耗控制电路,此时第一参考信号NCS仅能够为电压值Vss(即低参考电位)或者参考电压值。在图12中,SanEn为第一参考控制信号,在第一参考控制信号SanEn处于第一电平状态,第一参考信号NCS为低参考电位,在第一参考控制信号SanEn处于第二电平状态时,第一参考信号NCS为参考电压值。由第一参考控制信号SanEn指示。图13其他各信号含义及各信号的变化原理可参照图12理解,不作赘述。如图13所示,一方面,由于相关技术中的第一参考信号NCS在作为低参考电位时需要维持第二电压值Vss,所以无法降低电路功耗。另一方面,由于相关技术中的隔离电源值(未示出)为一固定电压值,所以隔离控制信号Iso存在两个电压值,分别属于第一电平状态和第二电平状态,信号放大速度较慢和电路噪声较大。
本公开实施例提供了一种控制放大电路及其控制方法,通过本实施例对前述实施例的具体实现进行详细阐述,从中可以看出,一方面,在预充阶段和待机阶段,隔离电源值下降为第四电压值VisoL, 能够减少器件漏电及失效问题,延长器件的使用寿命;在信号回写阶段可以进入省电模式,能够减少器件漏电及失效问题,延长器件的使用寿命;在进入省电模式后,第一参考信号NCS为第一电压值Vt,所以放大电路23仅需要下拉至Vt而非Vss,能够节省电路功耗;另外,通过功耗控制电路还可以降低电压拉低过程中的噪声,例如,先打开第一功耗电路中的子电路,再打开第二功耗电路的子电路,能够减缓电压下拉的速度,减少噪声。
在本公开的又一实施例中,参见图14,其示出了本公开实施例提供的一种灵敏放大器60的组成结构示意图。如图14所示,灵敏放大器60可以包括前述实施例任一项所述的控制放大电路20。
这样,由于灵敏放大器60可以包括前述实施例任一项所述的控制放大电路20,通过设置功耗调整电路,能够调整第一参考信号的具体电压值,从而降低电路功耗;同时通过隔离电路,能够调整隔离控制信号的具体电压值,从而优化信号放大过程,不仅改善信号放大速度较慢的问题,而且可以降低电路噪声。
在本公开的再一实施例中,参见图15,其示出了本公开实施例提供的一种半导体存储器70的组成结构示意图。如图15所示,半导体存储器70可以包括前述实施例任一项所述的灵敏放大器60。
在本公开实施例中,半导体存储器70可以为DRAM芯片。
这样,由于半导体存储器70包括前述的灵敏放大器60,由于灵敏放大器60可以包括前述实施例任一项所述的控制放大电路20,通过设置功耗调整电路,能够调整第一参考信号的具体电压值,从而降低电路功耗;同时通过隔离电路,能够调整隔离控制信号的具体电压值,从而优化信号放大过程,不仅改善信号放大速度较慢的问题,而且可以降低电路噪声。
以上,仅为本公开的较佳实施例而已,并非用于限定本公开的保护范围。
需要说明的是,在本公开中,术语“包括”、“包含”或者其任何其他变体意在涵盖非排他性的包含,从而使得包括一系列要素的过程、方法、物品或者装置不仅包括那些要素,而且还包括没有明确列出的其他要素,或者是还包括为这种过程、方法、物品或者装置所固有的要素。在没有更多限制的情况下,由语句“包括一个……”限定的要素,并不排除在包括该要素的过程、方法、物品或者装置中还存在另外的相同要素。
