Description
図3Aを用いて、起動時の発振回路100の動作を説明する。
時間T1において、制御信号SIGを『L』に設定する。これにより、可変抵抗R102のP型MOSトランジスタTR105及びN型MOSトランジスタTR106がオン状態となり、ノードNpとノードNnとの間の抵抗値RnはスイッチSW1の低抵抗Ronに設定される。また入力端子INに接続されたインバータINV101のDCバイアスVIN_dcは、出力端子OUTの電圧VOUTが帰還抵抗R101を介してフィードバックされることで、おおよそ(VDD/2)となる。
入力端子INの電圧VINは、振動子101が生成した微弱電圧α1・sin(ωt)と入力端子INのDCバイアスVIN_dcとにより、VIN=(VDD/2+α1×sin(ωt))・・・(1)となる。ここで、α1は数μVから数十μVの振幅電圧、ωt=0°から180°間の値とし、sin(ωt)≧0とする。
VNp_dc=VDD×[(Ron+RNinv)/(RPinv+Ron+RNinv)]・・・(3)
VNn_dc=VDD×[(RNinv)/(RPinv+Ron+RNinv)]・・・(4)
VNp=VNp_dc+α1×K1×K2×sin(ωt-(θ1+θ2))・・・(5)
VNn=VNn_dc+α1×K1×K2×sin(ωt-(θ1+θ2))・・・(6)
となる。
VNp=2v+α1×K1×K2×sin(ωt-(θ1+θ2))・・・(7)
VNn=1v+α1×K1×K2×sin(ωt-(θ1+θ2))・・・(8)
となる。ここで、式(7)と式(8)とにより、VNpあるいはVNnを入力とするインバータINV103のP型MOSトランジスタTR103及びN型MOSトランジスタTR104のゲート-ソース間電圧Vgsを、それぞれ1vを中心にしたVgsに設定することが可能となり、インバータINV103を駆動することが可能となる。低抵抗Ronを小さくすることで、更にVgsを大きく設定できる。したがって、振動子が生成する起動時の微小電圧においても、トランジスタをオン状態に出来ることが分かる。
|VDD-VNp|>|Vtp1|・・・(9)
VNn>Vtn1・・・(10)
Ron≦RPinv、かつ、Ron≦RNinv・・・(11)
とすることが望ましいが、式(9)と式(10)とを満たすRonに設定されていれば良い。
振動子101が生成した微小電圧α2×sin(ωt)と入力端子INのDCバイアスVIN_dcにより、入力端子INの電圧VINは、VIN=(VDD/2+α2×sin(ωt))となる。これにより、増幅回路A1は、[時間T1~T2]と同様の動作を繰り返し、出力端子OUTに出力電圧VOUTとして、VOUT=(VDD/2―α2×K1×K2×K3×sin(ωt-(θ1+θ2+θ3)))を出力する。出力電圧VOUTが振動子101にフィードバックされることで、振動子は微小振幅α3×sin(ωt)を生成する。ここで、α3>α2、360°≦ωt≦~540°とする。
Ron≦Rdp、かつ、Ron≦Rdn・・・(12)
が満足されていれば良い。式(12)を満足するノードNp及びノードNnのそれぞれの電圧VNp及びVNn、並びに、インバータINV103の各トランジスタとの関係を示す式(9)と(10)を満たすRonに設定されていれば良い。
次に図3Bを用いて、定常発振時の発振回路100の回路動作を説明する。
制御信号SIGは『L』であり、可変抵抗R102の抵抗値RnはスイッチSW1の低抵抗Ronに設定されている。また入力端子INに接続されたインバータINV101のDCバイアスVIN_dcは、出力端子OUTの電圧VOUTが帰還抵抗R101を介してフィードバックされることで、おおよそ(VDD/2)となる。
まず、入力端子INの電圧VINは、振動子101が生成した電圧αn×sin(ωt)と入力端子INのDCバイアスVIN_dcにより、VIN=(VDD/2+αn×sin(ωt))となる。インバータINV101は、電圧VINを入力とし、ノードND1に電圧VND1として、VND1=VDD/2-αn×K1・sin(ωt-θn)、を出力する。ここで、電圧VND1の振幅電圧αn×K1は、(αn×K1)>>(VDD-VSS)であるとする。これにより、電圧VND1は電源電圧VDD-グランドVSS間で振幅する。よって、ノードND1の電圧VND1は、VND1=VSSとなる。なお、θnはインバータINV101の論理反転時の正の値の遅延成分である。
入力端子INの電圧VINは、振動子101が生成した電圧αn×sin(ωt)と入力端子INのDCバイアスVIN_dcにより、VIN=(VDD/2+αn・sin(ωt))となる。インバータINV101にはVINが入力され、インバータINV101はノードND1に電圧VND1=VDD/2-αn×K1×sin(ωt-θn)、を出力する。ここで、電圧VND1は電源電圧VDD-グランドVSS間で振幅するため、ノードND1の電圧VND1は、VND1=VDDとなる。
時間T5において、制御信号SIGを『L』から『H』に変更する。これにより、可変抵抗R102のP型MOSトランジスタTR105とN型MOSトランジスタTR106とがオフ状態となり、可変抵抗R102の抵抗値Rnは低抵抗値Ronから抵抗R103の高抵抗Rcに切り替わる。これ以降、制御信号SIGが『L』から『H』に制御されることによって回路動作が切り替わるバッファ回路BUF101の動作について説明する。
ノードND1の電圧VND1がVDDからVSSに遷移し、インバータINV102に入力される。これによってインバータINV102のN型MOSトランジスタTR102はオフ状態、P型MOSトランジスタTR101がオン状態となる。
時間T6~T7において、ノードND1の電圧VND1がVSSからVDDに遷移し、インバータINV102に入力される。これによってインバータINV102のP型MOSトランジスタTR101はオフ状態、N型MOSトランジスタTR102がオン状態となる。
図4は本開示の第1の実施の形態の可変抵抗R102の変形例1を示すものであり、図2のスイッチSW1をスイッチSW2aとスイッチSW2bとの直列接続に置き換えたものである。制御信号SIGは制御信号SIGAと制御信号SIGBとから成り、INV201は制御信号SIGAを論理反転するインバータ、INV202は制御信号SIGBを論理反転するインバータ、SW2aはP型MOSトランジスタTR201とN型MOSトランジスタTR202とから成るスイッチ、SW2bはP型MOSトランジスタTR203とN型MOSトランジスタTR204とから成るスイッチ、R201とR202とは抵抗、Nrは抵抗R201とR202間のノードである。
制御信号SIGA=Lの時、P型MOSトランジスタTR201とN型MOSトランジスタTR202とはオン状態となり、ノードNpとノードNrとの間の抵抗値Rn1はスイッチSW2aの抵抗値Ron1となる。一方、制御信号SIGA=Hの時、抵抗値Rn1は抵抗値Rc1となる。
制御信号SIGB=Lの時、P型MOSトランジスタTR203とN型MOSトランジスタTR204とはオン状態となり、ノードNrとノードNnとの間の抵抗値Rn2はスイッチSW2bの抵抗値Ron2となる。一方、制御信号SIGB=Hの時、抵抗値Rn2は抵抗値Rc2となる。
図5は本開示の第1の実施の形態の可変抵抗R102の変形例2を示すものであり、図2のスイッチSW1をスイッチSW3a、抵抗R103をスイッチSW3b、に置き換えている。制御信号SIGは制御信号SIGAと制御信号SIGBから成り、INV301は制御信号SIGAを論理反転するインバータ、INV302は制御信号SIGBを論理反転するインバータ、SW3aはP型MOSトランジスタTR301とN型MOSトランジスタTR302とから成るスイッチ、SW3bはP型MOSトランジスタTR303とN型MOSトランジスタTR304とから成るスイッチ、である。
制御信号SIGA=Lの時、P型MOSトランジスタTR301とN型MOSトランジスタTR302とはオン状態となり、スイッチSW3aの抵抗値はRon1となる。ここで、抵抗値Ron1はP型MOSトランジスタTR301とN型MOSトランジスタTR302との合成オン抵抗である。制御信号SIGA=Hの時、スイッチSW3aはオフ状態となる。
制御信号SIGB=Lの時、P型MOSトランジスタTR303とN型MOSトランジスタTR304とはオン状態となり、スイッチSW3bの抵抗値はRon2となる。ここで、抵抗値Ron2はP型MOSトランジスタTR303とN型MOSトランジスタTR304の合成オン抵抗である。制御信号SIGB=Hの時、スイッチSW3bはオフ状態となる。
図6は本開示の第1の実施の形態のバッファ回路BUF101の変形例1を示すものであり、図1の可変抵抗R102を、制御信号SIGとノードND2の電圧VOUTによって制御される可変抵抗R401、に置き換えている。ここで、ノードND2と出力端子OUTは同電位であり電圧VOUT、可変抵抗R401は抵抗値Rmであるとする。
制御信号SIG=Lにおいて、P型MOSトランジスタTR401とN型MOSトランジスタTR402とはオン状態となる。一方、ノードFB1はP型MOSトランジスタTR405によりVDD、ノードFB2はN型MOSトランジスタTR406によりVSSとなり、P型MOSトランジスタTR403とN型MOSトランジスタTR404とはオフ状態となる。これより、可変抵抗R401の抵抗値RmはスイッチSW4aの抵抗値Ron4となる。抵抗値Ron4が式(11)または式(12)を満足することで、発振回路100は安定的に発振動作を行う。
制御信号SIGが『L』から『H』に遷移する。これにより、可変抵抗R401のP型MOSトランジスタTR401とN型MOSトランジスタTR402とはオフ状態となる。一方、バッファ回路BUF401及びBUF402は出力端子OUTの電圧VOUT=VSSをノードFB1及びFB2に出力し、P型MOSトランジスタTR403はオン状態、N型MOSトランジスタTR404はオフ状態となり、可変抵抗R401の抵抗値Rmは抵抗値RPon4となる。
ノードND1の電圧VND1がVSSからVDDに遷移し、インバータINV102のP型MOSトランジスタTR101がオフ状態、N型MOSトランジスタTR102がオン状態となる。これによりノードNnがVDDからVSSに遷移し、N型MOSトランジスタTR104がオフ状態となる。一方、ノードNpの電圧VNpは、可変抵抗R401の抵抗値Rmで設定された時定数τfでVDDからVSSへ遷移すると共に、2段階で論理遷移することで、P型MOSトランジスタTR103をオン状態とする。
ノードND1の電圧VND1がVDDからVSSに遷移し、インバータINV102のP型MOSトランジスタTR101がオン状態、N型MOSトランジスタTR102がオフ状態となる。これによりノードNpがVSSからVDDに遷移し、P型MOSトランジスタTR103がオフ状態となる。一方、ノードNnの電圧VNnは、可変抵抗R401の抵抗値Rmで設定された時定数τrでVSSからVDDへ遷移すると共に、2段階で論理遷移することで、N型MOSトランジスタTR104をオン状態とする。
