Background
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is a very efficient technique for controlling analog circuits using the digital output of a microprocessor, and is widely used in many fields from measurement, communication to power control and conversion.

In some existing pulse width modulation systems, a Delay Locked Loop (DLL-Delay Locked Loop) is used to control a PWM signal, as shown in fig. 1.

Detailed Description
The detailed features and advantages of the present invention are described in detail in the detailed description which follows, and will be sufficient for anyone skilled in the art to understand the technical content of the present invention and to implement the present invention, and the related objects and advantages of the present invention will be easily understood by those skilled in the art from the description, claims and drawings disclosed in the present specification.
The pulse width modulation system of the invention is a high-resolution pulse width modulation (HR PWM) system based on multi-phase time delay (MP DLL). As shown in fig. 2, the system includes a multiphase delay locked loop system and a PWM signal post processor 210.
The multiphase delay locked loop system includes a main phase signal generator 201, a first gate 202, a second gate 203, a phase locked loop 204, and a digital state machine 205. Phase locked loop 204 includes a delay module 206, a charge pump phase detector 207, a loop filter 208, and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) 209.
Master phase signal generator 201 generates M digital master phase signals Q based on an input reference frequency signal Fref0~QM-1(having a frequency Fout) where M is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The M main phase signals have a phase difference of 360/M degrees in sequence. For example, when M is 8, 8 main phase signals Q0-Q7The phase difference between the sequences is 45 degrees, and is respectively 0, 45, 90, 135, 180, 225, 270 and 315 degrees.
In one embodiment, the main phase signal generator 201 may be implemented by a Current Mode Logic digital Divider (CML Divider). In one embodiment, the current-mode logic digital divider converts a single-ended input reference frequency signal Fref from a current-mode logic circuit into a fully differential signal, and generates 8 main phase signals Q by a divide-by-4 divider0-Q7Where Fout is Fref/4. For example, the frequency of the input reference frequency signal Fref may be 400M, and the frequency of the output signal Fout of the master phase signal generator is 100M at this time.
At one isIn one embodiment, the main phase signal generator 201 may be implemented by a multi-phase Ring Oscillator (RO) and a Phase Locked Loop (PLL). For example, the multi-phase ring oscillator may be an 8-phase ring oscillator, generating 8 main phase signals Q0-Q7. In one embodiment, the input reference frequency signal Fref may be a lower frequency, such as 24MHz or 40 MHz. A Phase Locked Loop (PLL) multiplies the input reference frequency signal Fref to a high frequency, e.g., in the 100MHz range, and 8 master phase signals with a phase difference of 45 degrees are generated by an 8-phase output ring oscillator (8-phase RO). The ring oscillator is generally composed of a CMOS inverter, and its oscillation frequency and phase are controlled by current or voltage, and then the final output frequency and phase are locked by a phase-locked loop.
The M delay lines provide M S phase-shifted or delayed output signals, i.e. P1,P2,...,PM*SAdded to the original phase signal P which has not undergone phase shift0The delay module 202 outputs a total of (M S) +1 phase shifted or delayed signals, where P is0And PM*S(corresponding to a phase shift of 360 degrees) and Q0Are identical. The phase difference between the phase shifted signals is 360/(M × S), and the time delay Δ T, when converted to a time delay, is 1/(Fout × M × S). P thnA time delay signal (n epsilon [1, M S ]]) The delay time of (d) is n/(Fout M S).
It is noted that the term "phase shift" is understood by those skilled in the art to have substantially the same meaning as the term "time delay", and thus, reference herein to "phase shifted signal" and "time delayed signal" refers to the same signal, and reference herein to "phase error" and "time delayed error" has substantially the same meaning.
In one embodiment, it is assumed that M is 8 and S is 8, i.e. the master phase signal generator generates 8 master phase signals Q0~Q7Their phase difference in sequence is 45 degrees, respectively Q0Phase shift of 0 degree, Q1Phase shift of 45 degrees, Q2Phase shift 90 degree, Q3Phase shift of 135 degree, Q4Phase shift of 180 degrees, Q5Phase shift 225 degrees, Q6Phase shift 270 degree, Q7The phase shift is 315 degrees. Q0After being input into the first delay line, the delay line outputs 8 phase shift or delay signal outputs P1~P8The phase difference between the 8 phase shifted or delayed signals is 45/8 degrees, the 8 th phase shifted or delayed signal P8Is 45 degrees, exactly with the next main phase signal Q1The phase difference (45 degrees) of (d) is the same. By analogy, Q7(with a phase difference of 315 degrees) to an eighth delay line that outputs 8 phase shifted or delayed signal outputs P57~P64The phase difference between the 8 phase shifted or delayed signals is 45/8 degrees, when the 8 th phase shifted or delayed signal P of the delay line64Is exactly 360 degrees out of phase with Q0The phase difference (0 degrees) of (d) is the same.
Ideally, i.e. if no error occurs in the delay module itself, the phase shift or delay signal output P from the last delay cell in each delay line iskShould be matched with the main phase signal Q input to the next delay linejJ represents the j-th delay line, j is an integer from 1 to M, k is j × S, QMViewed as Q0. That is, when M is 8 and S is 8, P is 18Should be in phase with Q1The same is true. When j is 2, P16Should be in phase with Q2Same … … analogize in turn, when j is 8, P64Should be in phase with Q0The same is true. In practical application, however, the delay module or delay line has error, so that 65-path phase shift orThe phase difference between the time-delayed signals is not uniform, i.e. P8Phase of (2) and Q1Will have an error, P16Phase of (2) and Q2There will be an error … … in the phase of P64Phase of (2) and Q0There will be an error in the phase of (a). If the 65-way phase shift or delay output signal with phase error is used to adjust the pulse width of the PWM signal, the accuracy of the adjustment is greatly reduced. Therefore, to solve this problem, the present invention compares the phase shifted or delayed signal output P from the last delay element in each delay linekAnd a main phase signal Q of the next delay linejWhether the phases are the same or not, to control and adjust the output delay error or the output phase error generated by the delay module.
The first gate 202 receives the outputs from the delay module and selects, from these output signals, via the control of the digital state machine 205, three signals:
--P0and outputs to a Post Processor (Post Processor)210 for phase synchronization processing function in the Post Processor;
--Pnthe delay time of the selected time delay signal, which is output to the post-processor 210, can be calculated by (n/(M × S)) × (1/Fout); wherein n is 1, 2.., M is S;
--Pkis selected as one input reference signal of a charge pump type phase discriminator (PD/CP)207 in the phase-locked loop, wherein k is j is S, j is E [1, M ∈]。
The second gate 203 receives M main phase signals and selects one signal Q from the main phase signals through the control of the digital state machine 205jAnd output to the charge pump phase detector 207.
Charge pump phase detector 207 compares PkAnd QjIs the same, wherein PkAnd QjIs not optional, and k ═ j × S, Q need to be satisfiedMViewed as Q0. That is, if M is 8 and S is 8, P needs to be selected8And Q1Comparison, P16And Q2Comparison, P24And Q3Comparison, P32And Q4Comparison, P40And Q5Comparison, P48And Q6Comparison, P56And Q7Comparison, P64And Q0And (6) comparing.
The charge pump type phase detector 207 outputs the comparison result to the Loop Filter (LF)208 in the form of an analog current to obtain an analog voltage value, and then outputs a digital quantity (i.e., a digital error signal) as a control signal after being converted by the analog-to-digital converter (ADC)209, one path of the digital quantity is fed back to the delay module 206 to adjust the phase shift or delay error of the delay module, and the other path of the digital quantity is output to the digital state machine 205 to control the state switching of the state machine, i.e., the gating of the first gate and the second gate. The control signal has PkAnd QjThe phase error information of (1).
Ideally, PkAnd QjAre the same, so if the phase of the charge pump phase detector 207 is compared to find that the phases of the two are the same, then P is representedkAnd QjWithout phase error between, PkThe corresponding delay line does not need to be adjusted by an error, and the digital state machine 205 selects whether the phase of the next set of comparison objects is the same, where the next set of comparison objects refers to P obtained after j is j +1kAnd Qj。
If the charge pump phase detector 207 finds P by comparisonkAnd QjIs in error, the comparison result is fed back to the delay module 206 after being analog-to-digital converted into a digital quantity (digital error signal) by the analog-to-digital converter. The digital quantity represents the magnitude of the error. The delay module 206 adjusts the error according to the digital quantity, and the adjusted output PkThen passes through a charge pump type phase discriminator and QjCompares and feeds back the digital value to the delay module 206, and so on until the comparison result indicates PkAnd QjThe phase is the same, indicating that P is nowkWhen the corresponding delay line is calibrated, the digital state machine 205 controls the charge pump phase detector 207 to jump to the next set of comparison objects, i.e. let j ═ j +1 (i.e. start the calibration of the next delay line), and continue to compare PkAnd QjWhether the phase isAnd repeating the steps until the whole time delay module is calibrated.
In one embodiment, the analog-to-digital converter (ADC)209 of the present invention requires a low resolution, typically 4 bits.
In one embodiment, a Digital State Machine (DSM)205 is used for system control, calibration control, and post-processor latency selection. Digital State Machine (DSM)205 receives two signal inputs, one is the digital error signal with phase error information output by analog-to-digital converter (ADC)209 in phase locked loop 204; the other is a state control signal from a master control unit (SOC), such as a microprocessor in a chip (MCU), e.g., a power-on, calibration end, calibration start, etc. The digital state machine 205 outputs a digital control signal for signal selection control of the first and second gates and control of the entire system based on the two input signals.
In one embodiment, the digital state machine 205 may select to perform phase error calibration only on the delay signal output by the delay line corresponding to one of the M digital main phase signals according to the state control signal, or may select to perform phase error calibration on the delay signals output by the delay lines corresponding to all the M digital main phase signals.
