Embodiment
Fig. 1 schematically shows low-power consumption and produces the part of embodiment of the pedestal generator 10 of accurate reference voltage in benchmark output 15.Generator 10 comprises by the selectable band-gap reference 11 of generator 10 to operate less than the dutycycle of a hundred per cent (100%).The dutycycle that generator 10 is determined with the timing circuit 12 of generator 10 optionally enables and disables reference 11.Form benchmark 11, when benchmark 11 is enabled, produce band gap output voltage in output 21.Benchmark 11 also comprise enable to import 19, reference cell 33, selectable benchmark amplifier 36, reference comparator 37, disable transistor 39, phase inverter 38 and effectively output 22 of voltage.When enabling benchmark 11, formed benchmark 11 is worked under current state and high power consumption state, and when forbidding or do not enable benchmark 11, benchmark 11 is a low-power consumption.Benchmark 11 is worked under current state and have been eliminated the influence of low current biasing and help to provide accurate reference voltage in output 15 when enabling, and operation benchmark 11 has reduced the power consumption of generator 10 under low duty ratio.Usually, when benchmark 11 enabled, benchmark 11 had at least 30 microamperes current drain.Amplifier 36 enables to import on 35 from importing 19 reception timing signal or enable signals amplifier 36.When enabling to import 35 when low, forbid amplifier 36, and, enable amplifier 36 when importing 35 when being high.As known in the field, amplifier has and is the transistorized current source of amplifier internal bias.Forbid or enable selectable amplifier 36 by the current source of forbidding respectively or enable amplifier 36 inside.Forbid that current source prevents amplifier 36 operation and provides electric current except that leakage current for any load of the output that is connected to amplifier 36.
Generator 10 also comprises memory element 13, storage switch or transistor 14 and amplifier 16.Memory transistor 14 is used for optionally exporting 21 and is connected to element 13, so that when enabling benchmark 11 value of band gap output voltage is stored in the element 13.When disables reference 11, be stored in voltage on the element 13 and be used for keeping exporting reference voltage on 15.Amplifier 16 receives the voltage that is stored on the element 13, and drives output 15 with the value of reference voltage, so that produce reference voltage value in output 15.Amplifier 16 preferably has high input impedance, so that keep being stored in the voltage on the element 13.Input impedance is at least about 100G Ω usually.In a preferred embodiment, amplifier 16 is roughly one voltage follower for the gain that forms with MOS transistor, thereby the value of the reference voltage in output 15 equals the value of the voltage on the element 13 substantially.
In a preferred embodiment, formed reference cell 33 comprises first reference transistor 32 and second reference transistor 34.Transistor 32 is connected to output 21 by the resistance 27 and 28 that is connected in series.Tie point in resistance 27 and 28 forms node 29.Transistor 34 is connected to output 21 by the resistance 31 that is connected in series.Between resistance 31 and transistor 34, be connected to form node 30.As known in the field, formed transistor 32 and 34 is of different sizes, and transistor 32 is greater than transistor 34, as represented with transistor symbol.It will be understood by those of skill in the art that unit 33 is the reduced representation of bandgap cell, and unit 33 comprises other known elements of band-gap reference.
Formation timing circuit 12 is added to generation and enables to import 19 timing signal or enable signal.Timing circuit 12 forms the enable signal of the impulse form with balancing waveform that periodically produces usually.Dutycycle is less than absolutely (100%), and usually less than 50 (50%) percent.In a preferred embodiment, dutycycle is less than about (3%) 3 percent.
When the enable signal of input on 19 uprises, amplifier 36 allow for transistor 32 and 34 and corresponding resistance 27,28 and 31 electric current is provided.High enable signal in input 19 is disable transistor 39 also, is beneficial to electric current and flows out from the output of amplifier 36.When the electric current from amplifier 36 flows through transistor 32 and 24, and flow through resistance 27,28 and at 31 o'clock, on resistance 28, form the voltage of the base-emitter voltage difference that is substantially equal to transistor 32 and 34.The so-called Δ Vbe of this voltage voltage.Benchmark amplifier 36 compensates the voltage of nodes 29 and 30, allows amplifier 36 to amplify Δ Vbe voltages, so that form band gap output voltage in output 21.The voltage that forms on node 30 is the builtin voltage that is called Vbe voltage.Reference comparator 37 is value and the Vbe voltage on node 30 or the value of builtin voltage of band gap output voltage relatively, so that form control signal or voltage useful signals in output 22.The voltage useful signal is represented poor between output voltage and the builtin voltage.The anti-phase input of formed comparer 37 has offset voltage, can proper operation when forbidding amplifier 36 with box lunch.Therefore, the value of output voltage must add the value of offset voltage greater than builtin voltage, so that make the voltage useful signal for high.When being high at the enable signal of input on 19, the value of the band gap output voltage in output 21 adds the value of the internal blas voltage of comparer 37 greater than the builtin voltage on node 30, and therefore, comparer 37 driving voltage useful signals be height.The high voltage useful signal allows transistor 14 that the value of band gap output voltage is coupled to element 13, is used for storing.
When the enable signal step-down, disables reference 11 and amplifier 36 have only leakage current to flow through resistance 27,28 and 31 from amplifier 36, and flow through transistor 32 and 34.Low enable signal in input 19 also by phase inverter 38 enables transistors 39, is moved the output of amplifier 36 to the level of return path 18 or lower value.The non-inverting input of comparer 37 is from the output incoming level of amplifier 36.Because the leakage current from amplifier 36 has very little voltage on node 30.This small voltage is applied to the anti-phase input of comparer 37.Because the offset voltage on the inverting input of comparer 37, this small voltage on node 30 can trigger comparator 37.The value of selecting offset voltage is to guarantee that leakage current can not trigger comparator 37.In a preferred embodiment, offset voltage is approximately 100mV.Therefore, comparer 37 driving voltage useful signals are low, and the output voltage that is illustrated in the output 21 is invalid, and should not use.Low level voltage useful signal disable transistor 14, and element 13 and output 21 disconnections, thus maintenance is stored in the magnitude of voltage in the element 13.When should be noted that the input voltage that receives when comparer 37 near the value of return path 18, comparer 37 work of having to is as what seen in the top explanation.Design with this voltage power supply is known for those skilled in the art.
In order to be beneficial to this operation, the output of amplifier 36 is connected to first end of resistance 27 and first end of resistance 31.Second end of resistance 27 is connected to first end of node 29 and resistance 28.The emitter of transistor 32 is connected to second end of resistance 28.The collector of transistor 32 and base stage are connected to voltage return path 18.Second end of resistance 31 is connected to the emitter of node 30 and transistor 34.The base stage of transistor 34 and collector are connected to return path 18.The non-inverting input of amplifier 36 is connected to node 30, and inverting input is connected to node 29, and output simultaneously is connected to the non-inverting input of output 21 and comparer 37.The enabling of amplifier 36 imported 35 and is connected to input 19.The anti-phase input of comparer 37 is connected to node 30, and the output of comparer 37 simultaneously is connected to output 22.The source electrode of transistor 39 is connected to return path 18, and drain electrode is connected to the non-inverting input of comparer 37, and grid is connected to the output of phase inverter 38.The input of phase inverter 38 is connected to input 19.The drain electrode of transistor 14 is connected to output 21, and source electrode is connected to the non-inverting input of amplifier 16 and first end of element 13.The grid of transistor 14 is connected to output 22 and timing circuit 12.Second end of element 13 is connected to return path 18.The non-inverting input of amplifier 16 is connected to the output of amplifier 16 and is connected to 15.The output of timing circuit 12 is connected to input 19.It will be understood by those of skill in the art that amplifier 36, comparer 37 and phase inverter 38 from import 17 and return path 18 receive working powers.
The particular bandgap cell of using in benchmark 11 can be any one in many different well know bandgap designs.Two this designs have been shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.
Fig. 2 schematically shows the part of band-gap reference 80 of the alternate embodiment of the benchmark 11 that illustrates in the introduction of Fig. 1.Benchmark 80 is included in the bandgap cell 81 of the alternate embodiment of the unit 33 that illustrates in the introduction of Fig. 1.When forbidding amplifier 36, the output of amplifier 36 is connected to input 17 with disable transistor 82.Unit 81 and operation thereof are known for those skilled in the art.In certain embodiments, unit 81 is as the unit 33 in the generator 10 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 schematically shows the part of band-gap reference 85 of the alternate embodiment that is the benchmark 11 that illustrates in the introduction of Fig. 1.Benchmark 85 is included in the bandgap cell 86 of the alternate embodiment of the unit 33 that illustrates in the introduction of Fig. 1.When forbidding amplifier 36, the output of amplifier 36 is connected to input 17 with disable transistor 87.Unit 86 and operation thereof are known for those skilled in the art.In certain embodiments, unit 86 is as the unit 33 in the generator 10 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 schematically shows the part of timing circuit 70 of the preferred embodiment of the timing circuit 12 that illustrates in the introduction of Fig. 1.Circuit 12 comprises simulation relaxor 41 and is used for forming the analog pulse reshaper 42 of the low duty cycle enable signal that is added to input 19.Form circuit 70 so that low-power consumption and low-power consumption to be provided, so that minimize the power that generator 10 (referring to Fig. 1) consumes.The enable signal of low duty ratio it will be understood by those of skill in the art that and to adopt Digital Implementation or other implementation, as long as can be provided for generator 10.But, as well-known, because the various frequencies relevant with the power consumption composition of Digital Implementation, so the simulation of circuit 70 realizes providing more controlled power consumption than Digital Implementation.The threshold voltage that the reference circuit 68 of circuit 70 provides oscillator 41 and reshaper 42 to use.Circuit 68 provides first threshold voltage or low threshold voltage in output 71, provide second threshold voltage or high threshold voltage in output 72.
Oscillator 41 comprises respectively with the controlled fully speed charging and the current source 48 and the current source 49 of discharge capacity 51, the oscillation frequency of formation oscillator 41.Reshaper 42 comprises by the electric capacity 59 of the pulse charge of oscillator 41, with the current source 58 of fully controlled speed charging capacitor 59 and be used for respectively charging and the switching transistor 61 and 62 of discharge capacity 59.Usually, oscillator 41 moves with predetermined frequency, and produces burst pulse during each oscillation period.Each pulse is increased in the electric charge on the electric capacity 59 in the reshaper 42.When stored voltage reached certain voltage on electric capacity 59, reshaper 42 produced the pulse that is used for forming the enable signal that is added to input 19.
Suppose rest-set flip-flop 47 set, and transistor 53 is forbidden.Current source 48 is with complete controlled speed charging capacitor 51.When the voltage on the electric capacity 51 reached high threshold, the output of comparer 52 uprised, and drive node 50 uprises.High level on node 50 allows transistor 61 charging capacitors 59.Notice that node 64 is low, phase inverter 66 is output as height, therefore, is added to trigger 47 from the high level of node 50.High level on the node 50 is also by door 44 and 46 reset flip-flops 47, and Q (Q bar) output that drives trigger 47 uprises, and allows transistor 53 discharge capacities 51.When electric capacity 51 discharges into high threshold, node 50 step-downs, disable transistor 61 stops charging capacitor 59.From node 50 through moving into one's husband's household upon marriage 44 and 46, the time quantum that allows transistor 61 charging capacitors 59 being set through trigger 47 with through the delay of comparer 52.This delay is usually compared very little with the cycle of oscillator 41, therefore, be added on the electric capacity 59 at the very small amount of electric charge of each impulse duration of oscillator 41.Oscillator 41 continues vibration, is charged to the magnitude of voltage that equals to export the high threshold on 72 at least up to electric capacity 59.This magnitude of voltage is received by comparer 63, and the output and the node 64 that drive comparer 63 uprise.Notice that be added to other electric charge in the process of electric capacity 59 owing to oscillator 41 is in this moment, so node 50 also is high.High level on the node 64 and 50 allows AND door 69 to produce enable signal to input 19.Simultaneously, the high level on node 64 makes the output step-down and the inhibit gate 44 of phase inverter 66, thereby prevents the high level reset flip-flop 47 on the node 50.Circuit 70 remains on this state, up to receiving the voltage useful signal from benchmark 11.Voltage useful signal reset flip-flop 65 in output 22 makes Q output step-down, allows transistor 62 discharge capacities 59.When the voltage on the electric capacity 59 discharges into when being lower than high threshold, the output step-down of comparer 63 removes enable signal from importing 19, also removes low level from door 44, allows the high level reset flip-flop 47 on the node 50.When the voltage on electric capacity 59 reached low threshold value, the output of comparer 74 uprised, set flip-flop 65 and disable transistor 62, thus allow the operation of reshaper 42 response oscillators 41 to restart charging capacitor 59.The oscillator 41 that forms postpones up to receiving that the voltage useful signal guarantees that the output of benchmark 11 reaches effective working value.Postponing a time cycle after receiving the voltage useful signal is provided at and is the time of charge member 13 before removing enable signal.
In an example, form generator 10 provides about 1.2V in output 15 reference voltage, and with 2.2% dutycycle work.Enabling pulse has the pulse width of about 40 μ s and the cycle of about 2ms.When enabling benchmark 11, the electric current of process resistance 28 is approximately 5 μ A, the generator 10 corresponding electric currents that consume about 30 μ A.When disables reference 11, generator 10 approximately consumes the electric current of 10nA.Generator 10 population mean consumed current are about 0.6 μ A.Therefore, benchmark 11 uses big electric current to flow through transistor 32 and 34, so that form reliable reference voltage, and consumes small amount of current when forbidding, so that reduce overall power consumption.In addition, under these current status, the pole frequency of generator 10 has improved the PSRR of generator 10 greater than 1KHz.
Fig. 5 schematically shows the amplification view of the part of the embodiment of the semiconductor devices 75 of formation on semiconductor element 76.Generator 10 is formed on the tube core 76 with the load 77 of the reference voltage that utilizes generator 10 to produce.
A kind of Apparatus and method for of novelty is obviously disclosed in sum.In further feature, comprise the formation voltage reference, to operate the band-gap reference unit less than hundred-percent dutycycle.Form voltage reference, when allowing, under current state, operate, minimize the low current influence of reference voltage.The influence of big current consumption minimizes leakage current has also improved Power Supply Rejection Ratio.Therefore, low duty cycle operation has reduced the power consumption of reference generator and has improved the precision of reference voltage.
Though introduced the present invention with specific preferred embodiment, many substitute and modification is obvious for the technician of semiconductor applications.For example, the enforcement by various pulse producers can form enable signal.In addition, bandgap cell can be used any in many different realizations, forms reference voltage when enabling bandgap cell.
