Description

Annular oscillation circuit that the frequency of oscillation fluctuation reduces and IC chip with this circuit
Technical field
The present invention relates to semiconductor integrated chip (IC), more specifically, relate to a kind of annular oscillation circuit (Ring Oscillator) that has than the stable oscillation stationary vibration frequency, and the IC chip with this annular oscillation circuit.
Background technology
Multivibrator is a kind of self-maintained circuit.Because there is not stable operating state, multivibrator is also referred to as astable circuit.Specifically, if multivibrator is in 0 state at the beginning, it will change 1 state over to automatically after 0 state stays for some time so, will change 0 state automatically over to again after 1 state stays for some time, and so go round and begin again the output square wave.Multivibrator is used for producing the square wave of certain frequency and amplitude, can be used as clock generator etc. and is applied in micro-control circuit etc.
Fig. 1 shows the circuit diagram of a kind of symmetrical expression multivibrator in the correlation technique, and it is a positive feedback oscillating circuit.
In Fig. 1, G 1And G 2Be two inverters, G 1And G 2Be two coupling capacitances, R F1And R F2Be two feedback resistances.As long as choose the resistance of feedback resistance rightly, just can make the quiescent point of inverter be positioned at the break over region of voltage-transfer characteristic.When powering on, the voltage v at capacitor two ends C1And v C2Be 0.Suppose that certain disturbance makes v I1Small positive transition is arranged, so through a positive feedback process, v I1Saltus step is V rapidly OH, v O1Saltus step is V rapidly OL, v I2Saltus step is V rapidly OL, v O2Saltus step is V rapidly OH, circuit enters first temporary stable state.Capacitor C 1And C 2Begin charging.C 1The charging current direction identical with reference direction, v C1Forward increases; C 2The charging current direction opposite with reference direction, v C2Negative sense increases.Along with v C1Forward increase v I2From V OLRise gradually; Along with v C2Negative sense increase v I1From V OHDescend gradually.Because C 1Through R 1And R F2Article two, branch road charges and C 2Through R F1, so a branch road charging is C 1Charging rate is very fast, v I2Rise to V THThe time v I1Also do not drop to V THv I2Rise to V THMake v O2Saltus step is V OLIn theory, v O2Downward saltus step V OH-V OL, v I1Also with downward saltus step V OH-V OLConsider G 1The influence of input clamp diode, v I1Jump to V at most IKv I1Drop to V IKMake v O1Saltus step is V OH, this makes v again I2From V THSaltus step V makes progress OH-V OL, i.e. v I2Become V TH+ V OH-V OL, circuit enters second temporary stable state.C 1Through R F2, a branch road reverse charging (reverse charging again of discharging in fact earlier), v I2Descend gradually.C 2Through R 1And R F1Article two, branch road reverse charging (reverse charging again of discharging in fact earlier), v I1Rise gradually.v I1The rate of climb greater than v I2Decrease speed.Work as v I1Rise to V THThe time, circuit enters first temporary stable state again.After this, circuit will vibration back and forth between two temporary stable states.
Quartz crystal has superior frequency-selecting performance.Quartz crystal is introduced common multivibrator just can constitute quartz crystal multivibrator with upper frequency stability.
Fig. 2 shows the circuit diagram of a kind of quartz crystal symmetrical expression multivibrator in the correlation technique.
Common multivibrator is a kind of square-wave generator, and the back output frequency that powers on is the square wave of f.According to the Fourier analysis theory, frequency is that the square wave of f can resolve into infinite a plurality of component sine waves, the frequency of component sine waves be nf (n=1,2,3 ...), if the series resonance frequency of quartz crystal is f 0, having only frequency so is f 0Component sine waves can pass through quartz crystal (i component sine waves, i = f 0 f ), form positive feedback, and other component sine waves can't be passed through quartz crystal.Frequency is f 0Component sine waves to be converted to frequency by inverter be f 0Square wave.Because the frequency of oscillation of quartz crystal multivibrator only depends on the parameter of quartz crystal itself, so less demanding to the circuit element beyond the quartz crystal.Its biggest advantage is that precision is very high, and the frequency of oscillation of quartz crystal symmetrical expression multivibrator depends on the intrinsic physical property of quartz crystal, so have very high frequency stability.
In the circuit of Fig. 2, adopt quartz crystal as tuned cell, although its frequency accuracy is very high, cause circuit devcie too much, increased manufacturing cost on the one hand, volume is too big on the other hand, so be unfavorable for being integrated among the IC.
Yet in actual applications, except some environmental factors, the choice criteria in clock source is usually according to four primary conditions: precision, supply power voltage, size and noise.The communication standard that accuracy requirement depends on application-specific usually and adopted.For example, high speed USB needs ± 0.25% overall clock accuracy.By contrast, the system that need not PERCOM peripheral communication may only need 5%, 10% even 20% clock source precision just can work well.For this reason, in correlation technique, proposed with crystal and ceramic resonator in the alternative most of microcontroller circuits of silicon oscillator.In order to simplify symmetrical expression multivibrator circuit structure illustrated in figures 1 and 2, a kind of asymmetric multivibrator circuit has been proposed in the correlation technique.Fig. 3 shows the circuit diagram of a kind of asymmetric multivibrator circuit in the correlation technique.
The asymmetric multivibrator is the reduced form of symmetrical expression multivibrator.This circuit has only a feedback resistance R FWith a coupling capacitance C.Feedback resistance R FMake G 1Quiescent point be positioned at the break over region of voltage-transfer characteristic, in other words, when static, G 1Incoming level approximate V TH, G 1Output level also approximate V THBecause G 1Output be exactly G 2Input, so G 2Also be forced to be operated in the break over region of voltage-transfer characteristic when static.
In order further to simplify ring oscillator circuit structure shown in Figure 3, a kind of ring oscillator circuit has been proposed in the correlation technique to be applied among the IC.Fig. 4 shows the circuit diagram of a kind of ring oscillator circuit in the correlation technique.
Ring oscillator is not a regenerative circuit, but the negative-feedback circuit with delay link, it has carried out further simplification to the asymmetric multivibrator circuit, is that the asymmetric multivibrator is the reduced form of symmetrical expression multivibrator.
Fig. 5 shows the circuit diagram according to the inverter of an embodiment of correlation technique.
As shown in Figure 5, CMOS inverter circuit 11 is respectively by PMOS transistor P 1With nmos pass transistor N 1The formation that is connected in series, above-mentioned two transistorized each grids are as input, and above-mentioned two transistorized each drain electrodes offer above-mentioned PMOS transistor P as output with power source voltage Vcc 1Source electrode, above-mentioned nmos pass transistor N 1Source electrode and earthing potential Vss end be connected.
At ring oscillator shown in Figure 4, can be made into silicon device at an easy rate, and be integrated in the middle of the IC.For the clock request of most of microcontrollers, the made silicon oscillator of the ring oscillator shown in the utilization is a kind of simply and effectively solution.
On the one hand, the silicon oscillator does not also rely on the mechanical resonance characteristic and obtains frequency of oscillation, and is based on the RC time constant of an inside.Such design makes silicon device insensitive for external mechanical influence.And different with traditional oscillators is not have exposed high-impedance node.So the silicon oscillator can bear bigger humidity and EMI influence.
On the other hand, the silicon oscillator does not need to mate meticulously timing element or strict circuit board wiring.If replace crystal or ceramic resonator with the silicon oscillator, at first can remove all elements relevant with oscillating circuit.This generally includes one to two resistance and two electric capacity (if they are not comprised in the resonator packages).And the supply power voltage typical range of microcontroller clock is 1V to 5.5V, and the typical power supply voltage range of silicon oscillator is 2.4V to 5.5V, just in time falls in this scope.The material of silicon oscillator can be identical with the material of the IC of its income, and can adopt identical manufacturing process.So the silicon ring oscillator has than crystal and ceramic resonator advantage littler and more easy to manufacture and use and with low cost.
Yet clocking noise is subjected to the influence of many factors, comprises noise, power supply noise, wiring board wiring and intrinsic (or quality factor " Q ") such as noise suppression features of oscillating element of amplifier.
Yet in the ring oscillator of correlation technique, outer member has only an electrical power by-pass electric capacity usually.
Fig. 6 shows the circuit diagram according to the ring oscillator of an embodiment of correlation technique.
Wherein, odd number CMOS inverter circuit 11 is connected in series, and is connected with capacitor 12 between each CMOS inverter circuit 11 output and ground, and the output signal of last inverter circuit 11 is fed back to the input of first inverter circuit.
The frequency of oscillation of this oscillator is by the time constant CR decision at the conducting resistance R of the capacity C of each intersegmental capacitor 12 and CMOS inverter circuit 11.
Yet, the conducting resistance R of above-mentioned CMOS inverter circuit 11 is because be subjected to the influence of the extreme situation (cornercase) of supply voltage, temperature and CMOS inverter circuit 11 to a great extent, so when the fluctuation of the extreme situation of supply voltage, temperature and CMOS inverter circuit 11 is very big, can cause the frequency of oscillation fluctuation of annular oscillation circuit very big.For example, at mains fluctuations is ± 10%, temperature is that-40 ℃ to 120 ℃, device extreme situation (corner case) are FF (Fast PMOS Fast NMOS, the quick quick NMOS of PMOS), TT (Typical PMOS Typical NMOS, the common NMOS of common PMOS) and SS (Slow PMOS Slow NMOS, PMOS NMOS at a slow speed at a slow speed), the frequency of oscillation fluctuating range of conventional ring oscillator has reached 50%.Because the frequency of oscillation fluctuating range is too big, has caused having a strong impact on its application in IC.
