The structural features of an embodiment of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, and the operation thereof is further described below.
When the dynamic comparator (hereinafter referred to as comparator) for analog-to-digital converter offset calibration works, the state control is carried out through the clock signal CLK and the calibration control signal OS. The working process of the comparator can be basically divided into three main working states, namely an offset calibration stage, a reset stage, a comparison stage and the like.
In the offset calibration phase, the calibration control signal OS is 1, and there are two sub-states, a measurement state and a calibration state. In the measuring state, the input end of the preamplifier is connected to the common-mode signal VCM through the switch, the lower plates of the first to third calibration capacitors (C1-C3) are also connected to the common-mode signal VCM, and the output end of the preamplifier is VOUT (VOS), namely the voltage of the test calibration capacitor for storing the VOS. In the calibration state, the first to fourth switches (S1-S4) are all closed, the input end of the comparator is connected to the differential input signal, and the output voltage VOUT is a (VIN-VOS), and after the capacitor is calibrated, the output voltage VOUT is a (VIN-VOS) + a VOS) a (VIN); further, the offset voltage calibration function is realized, and the offset voltage can be completely eliminated theoretically. In the control process of calibrating the capacitor, the opening time of the switch connected with the capacitor needs to have a certain sequence so as to ensure the normal work of the comparator. The waveforms of the clock signal and the control signal in this process are shown in fig. 4.
In the reset stage, when the calibration control signal OS is 0 and the clock signal CLK is 0, the third MOS transistor M3 in fig. 2 is turned off, and other MOS transistors (MOS transistors) operate normally, so that the whole circuit structure realizes the offset voltage calibration of each stage of the preamplifier; at this time, the dynamic latch is in a closed state, the tail current source of the fourth N-type mos M4 in fig. 3 is turned off, the circuit nodes VO +, VO-, M +, M-are charged to the power supply VDD potential through the reset transistors such as the third to sixth P-type mos (PM3, PM4, PM5, PM6) and the like, and the seventh and eighth P-type mos (PM7, PM8) are turned on, so that the voltage balance between the circuit nodes M + and M-, VO +, and VO-is ensured.
In the comparison stage, when the calibration control signal OS is 0 and the clock signal CLK is 1, the third MOS transistor M3 in fig. 2 is turned on, the other MOS transistors (MOS transistors) operate normally, the fourth and fifth MOS transistors (NM4 and NM5) may be regarded as a load resistor, and the fourth-stage preamplifier operates normally to amplify the input signal. The tail current of the third nmos transistor M3 in the latch of fig. 3 is turned on and all reset transistors are turned off, and at this time, the first and second nmos transistors (NM1, NM2) as input pair transistors start to operate. The different grid voltages of the first and second metal oxide semiconductor tubes (NM1, NM2) cause different conduction currents, thereby causing different discharge speeds of the two points M + and M-, and consequently causing different potentials of M + and M-. If V IN + > VIN-, then M-falls faster than M +, and therefore the fourth MOS transistor M4 first enters the conducting state, resulting IN the negative voltage output VO-falling first. When VO-begins to drop to the second PMOS transistor M7 conducting, the positive voltage output VO + node begins to charge. And an inverter formed by the fourth and fifth N-type metal oxide semiconductor transistors (NM4 and NM5) and the first and second P-type metal oxide semiconductor transistors (PM1 and PM2) finally enables the negative voltage output VO-to fall to the ground GND, and the positive voltage output VO + is charged to the power supply VDD, so that the effect of information latching is achieved.
