in the above formula, Vt1, Vt2, Vt3 and Vt4 in the brackets in the first middle are inherent errors in the process manufacturing process and are difficult to improve; the second middle bracket is the error caused by the mismatching of the MOS tube grid source working voltage, therefore, the invention changes the width-length ratio of the load current source (namely the first load tube T3 and the second load tube T4) to totally pair VOSAnd (6) adjusting.
In one embodiment, the width to length ratios of the first load tube T3, the second load tube T4, the first trim tube T5, and the second trim tube T6 before trimming are 40um/10um, 4um/10um, and 4um/10um, respectively. During the specific trimming process, the second trimming switch F2 is turned on, and the first trimming tube F1 is turned off, as shown in fig. 4.

Figure BDA0002920447510000086
Based on this, the trimming control of the first trimming switch F1 is performed according to the proportion shown in fig. 4, and the input voltage equivalent offset voltage of about 1mV can be adjusted at a time, and the trimming precision completely meets the requirement of the non-analog-to-digital converter of the consumer electronics.
From the above calculations, it is possible to achieve a misalignment error lower than 1mV by modifying the size of the first and second trim tubes T5 and T6 relative to the first and second load tubes T3 and T4.
As shown in fig. 1 and 5, in order to realize different combinations of trimming accuracy and trimming range and realize different design intentions, the invention realizes the preparation of the trimming accuracy and the trimming range in any proportion by controlling the design of different trimming branch weighted values. Specifically, in a plurality of trimming branches connected in parallel with the same load tube, the weighted values of the plurality of trimming tubes are sequentially decreased.
In the invention, the weighted value of a plurality of trimming branches which are connected with the same load tube in parallel is smaller as the distance between the trimming branches and the load tube is closer. In one embodiment, in a plurality of trimming branches connected with the same load tube in parallel, the weighted values of a plurality of trimming tubes are sequentially decreased by times; in other embodiments, the weighting values of the trimming pipes are decreased in a non-multiple relationship, and the decreasing form of the weighting values can be selected by the designer according to specific situations.
Specifically, in a preferred embodiment, the weighting values of the trimming pipes are decreased in proportion to the power exponent. That is, when the weighting value of the first modulation tube is set to z, the weighting value of the second modulation tube is set to 2z, the weighting value of the third modulation tube is set to 4z, and the weighting value of the nth modulation tube is set to 2 in … …n-1z. The weighting value may be an integer or a non-integer.
For example, in the present invention, the trimming MOS transistors corresponding to the first load transistor T3 are Ta1 and Ta2 … … Tan, respectively, and n MOS transistors having the same channel length as that of the first load transistor T3 are provided, and Ta1 and Ta2 … … Tan are connected in parallel to the first load transistor T3 through n fuse switches of FA1 and FA2 … … FAn, respectively; similarly, the trimming MOS transistors corresponding to the second load transistor T4 are Tb1 and Tb2 … … Tbn, respectively, and n MOS transistors having the same channel length as the second load transistor T4 are provided, and Tb1 and Tb2 … … Tbn are connected in parallel to the second load transistor T4 through n fuse switches FB1 and FB2 … … FBn, respectively. In the present invention, the Ta series of trimming transistors connected in parallel to the first load transistor T3 and the Tb series of trimming transistors connected in parallel to the second load transistor T4 are mirror images of each other, and the Ta series MOS transistor and the Tb series MOS transistor respectively correspond to the case where the offset error is a positive value and a negative value.
In this embodiment, the trimming pipe Ta1 is the minimum trimming unit of the trimming value, and the width-to-length ratio is
Figure BDA0002920447510000091
At this time, the weight value and the precision requirement of the trimming tube Ta1 are the highest, and the width-length ratio of the trimming tube Ta2 is twice that of the trimming tube Ta1, namely
Figure BDA0002920447510000092
The weight value is next to the trimming pipe Ta 1; the width-length ratio of the trimming pipe Ta3 is
Figure BDA0002920447510000093
By analogy, the width-to-length ratio of Tan is
Figure BDA0002920447510000094
The MOS tube of the trimming tube Tb series is completely the same as the MOS tube of the trimming tube Ta series, and the magnitude values are arranged in a same way according to the weighted value.
As can be seen from the above example, the weighted value of the trimming pipe is proportional to the width-to-length ratio of the trimming pipe, so that different trimming results can be obtained by adjusting the width-to-length ratio of the trimming pipe in the trimming branch connected in parallel with the load pipe.
In the specific example shown in fig. 5, each load tube is connected in parallel with 3 trimming branches, i.e. n is 3. At this time, dummy tubes (dummy devices) are added to the left side of the trimming tube Ta3 and the right side of the trimming tube Tb3, respectively, to ensure the environmental consistency of the trimming tube Ta3 and the trimming tube Tb3, and the line connection of the substrate bias portion is omitted in fig. 5.
In this embodiment, the weight of the trimming tube Ta1 and the trimming tube Tb1 is the largest, so the trimming tube Ta1 is placed at the left side of the first load tube T3 and the trimming tube Tb1 is placed at the right side of the second load tube T4, so that the requirement of central symmetry is fully met, and the trimming tube Ta2, the trimming tube Ta3, the trimming tube Tb2 and the trimming tube Tb3 are sequentially placed at a distance.
FA 1-FA 3 and FB 1-FB 3 are fuses for trimming corresponding to the weighted current mirror, respectively, wherein a fusing switch FA1 corresponds to a trimming tube Ta1, a fusing switch FA2 corresponds to a trimming tube Ta2, a fusing switch FA3 corresponds to a trimming tube Ta3, a fusing switch FB1 corresponds to a trimming tube Tb1, a fusing switch FB2 corresponds to a trimming tube Tb2, and a fusing switch FB3 corresponds to a trimming tube Tb 3. In this embodiment, the pattern of the metal fuse is selected and can be modified by laser. In other embodiments, other metal fuses for current, polysilicon fuses for current, or MOS switches controlled by digital circuits may be used.
Through the calculation mode, if the weight of the trimming tube Ta1 is 1mV, the weight of Ta2 is 2mV, and the weight of Ta3 is 4mV, at the moment, the offset error adjusting range with the accuracy of 1mV of +/-7 mV can be realized through the adjustment of the fusing switch. Assuming that the weight of the trimming pipe Ta1 is 2mV, the weight of Ta2 is 4mV, and the weight of Ta3 is 5mV, at this time, the trimming error adjusting range of ± 14mV and the precision of 2mV can be realized through the adjustment of the fuse switch.
Therefore, the invention can be used for trimming a single specific key amplifier, and can reduce the random matching error inevitably generated in the production process of the amplifier in the integrated circuit. In actual production life, for MOS tube technology, the inherent random offset voltage of an unmodified operational amplifier is usually as high as 10mV to 50mV, but the invention can adjust the modification precision to 1mV or below, and has great influence on the accuracy of a system.
It will be understood that modifications and variations can be made by persons skilled in the art in light of the above teachings and all such modifications and variations are intended to be included within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
The invention is described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are illustrative, and it is obvious that the implementation of the invention is not limited in the above manner, and it is within the scope of the invention to adopt various modifications of the inventive method concept and technical solution, or to apply the inventive concept and technical solution to other fields without modification.
