In the time-to-digital conversion circuit, the delay chain phase-locked loop has wide application prospect.
The wide application of the delay chain phase-locked loop requires that the precision and the stability of the delay chain outputting the multi-phase clock are higher, and the interference of external environment noise or internal noise of the delay chain on the phase splitting precision is avoided.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a basic unit structure of a delay chain according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the basic unit of the delay chain includes a low-pass filtering subunit 211, a first delay subunit 212, a first clock regeneration subunit 213, a second delay subunit 214, and a second clock regeneration subunit 215, which are sequentially connected in series.
In this embodiment, the low pass filtering subunit 211 includes a first resistor R1 and a second resistor R2; one end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the voltage conversion module, and the other end is connected to the first delay subunit 212 and the second delay subunit 214;

the gate of the transistor M3 is connected with the voltage conversion module through the second resistor R2;
the gates of the transistors M5 and M6 are connected to each other and to the clock input.
In the present embodiment, the first delay subunit mainly plays a role of delay, and the principle is that M3 and M1 are used as current sources to control the maximum current for charging and discharging the node a in fig. 3, so as to delay the rising (falling) speed of the rising edge (falling edge) of the a node signal, thereby playing a role of delay.
In a conventional voltage-controlled delay chain, a voltage-controlled line controls the charging and discharging current of a MOS transistor. The gate source, the gate drain and the gate liner capacitor of the MOS transistor have a path for high-frequency signals, and for large-swing signals such as clock signals, kickback noise is easily generated by capacitive coupling to influence voltage-controlled voltage, and the phenomenon is particularly obvious under the conditions of cascade connection of a plurality of delay units and a plurality of delay chains. In addition, because the length of the delay line is long, a plurality of other circuit modules are likely to pass through, cross over and bypass in actual production, and therefore the delay line is extremely susceptible to noise generated by other modules.
In the embodiment, the low-pass filter is introduced between the noise source and the voltage control line, so that the influence of the high-frequency clock signal on the voltage control line is reduced, and the phase interval consistency of the generated multiphase clock is ensured.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is an equivalent circuit diagram of a low pass filter according to an embodiment of the invention; in the figure, RoutRepresenting the output impedance of a voltage-controlled MOS transistor, CgsRepresenting the gate capacitance of the voltage-controlled MOS transistor, C representing the output capacitance of the voltage conversion module, RloadRepresenting the output resistance, R representing the introduced filter resistance, and when this resistance is not introduced, the noise current I generated by the noise current sourcenoiseThe voltage response generated on the voltage control line can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0002169931110000091
when a low-pass filter capacitor is introduced, the voltage response of the noise current generated by the noise current source on the voltage control line can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0002169931110000092
considering the actual parameters of the two voltage response expressions and comparing them, it can be seen that the introduced low-pass filter reduces the high-frequency noise response by a factor of about (sggsr + 1).
In the present embodiment, the first clock regeneration subunit 213 includes transistors M7, M8, M9, M10; the transistors M7 and M9 are PMOS tubes, and the transistors M8 and M10 are NMOS tubes;
the gate of the transistor M7 is connected with the common drain terminal of the transistors M5 and M6, and the source of the transistor M7 is connected with the VDD terminal;
the gate of the transistor M8 is connected with the gate of the transistor M7 and the common drain terminal of the transistors M5 and M6, the source of the transistor M8 is connected with the GND terminal, and the drain of the transistor M8 is connected with the drain of the transistor M7;

In this embodiment, the N first clock signals output by the N cascaded delay chain basic units are the first clock signal cluster.
In a traditional delay chain, a basic delay unit is mainly built by a delay module, and after a signal passes through the unit, the output rising edge and the output falling edge are both slowed down; if the cascade count increases, the final output signal may start to fall when it rises to VDD, causing duty cycle degradation; if the cascade count continues to increase, the duty cycle continues to deteriorate, eventually resulting in the signal failing to effectively flip, i.e., the duty cycle is 0. Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of the delay module building a basic delay unit to output multi-phase clock pulse contraction according to an embodiment of the present invention.
In the embodiment, the clock regeneration unit is added, so that the clock duty ratio is recovered while the voltage-controlled delay time is adjusted, the output clock of each voltage-controlled delay unit has certain clock delay and has steep rising edges and falling edges, and the duty ratio consistency of the multi-phase clock is ensured.
The clock regeneration unit records only the delay time by charging and discharging an unlimited inverter group, and recovers the rising and falling speeds of the clock. Taking the rising edge of the CLK signal as an example, please refer to fig. 6, where fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a signal waveform of the CLK signal delayed by the basic delay unit according to the embodiment of the present invention; after the CLK signal is delayed and inverted by the first delay subunit, point a in fig. 3 becomes a falling edge, and the discharge current of the point a signal is limited, so that the falling edge of the point a signal is slowed down; thereby achieving the purpose of delay. After passing through the first clock regeneration subunit, the charging and discharging current is not controlled by a current source, so that the signal waveforms of the node B and the node C can be established most quickly, and the clock duty ratio is recovered.
In the present embodiment, the second delay subunit 214 includes transistors M2, M11, M12, M4 connected in series to the power supply terminals VDD and GND in this order; the transistors M2 and M11 are PMOS tubes, and the transistors M12 and M4 are NMOS tubes;

The working principle of the second delay subunit and the second clock regeneration subunit is the same as that of the first delay subunit and the first clock regeneration subunit, and details are not repeated here.
Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a diagram comparing the delay effect of the conventional delay chain and the delay effect of the present invention according to the embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, due to the inherent delay of the introduced clock regeneration unit, the inherent delay of the delay chain unit is increased, so that the adjustment range of the voltage-controlled line can be correspondingly reduced to reach the same delay time, which effectively improves the precision of the voltage-controlled delay, improves the anti-noise performance of the voltage-controlled delay chain, and ensures that the voltage-controlled voltage change required by the same delay time difference is increased, thereby being more suitable for a high-precision multi-chain delay chain phase-locked loop and a time digital detection system formed by the same.
