Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of filters, and particularly relates to a high-integration active dynamic loop filter.
Background
For the application of an active loop filter which works at ultra-low voltage and requires small area and high integration level, a phase-locked loop frequency synthesizer circuit directly influences the performance of a wireless transceiver, the loop filter is an important module of the frequency synthesizer, and has the functions of time domain integration and frequency domain low-pass filtering, clutter components in comparison voltage output by a phase discriminator can be filtered, and more importantly, when the phase discriminator and a voltage-controlled oscillator are designed, the performance of the whole phase-locked loop can be controlled by adjusting loop filter parameters, so the design quality determines important indexes of phase noise, stray, frequency hopping time and the like of the system, and the phase-locked loop and even the whole wireless transceiver system are greatly contributed.
The loop filter is divided into an active filter and a passive filter, a traditional passive structure needs a large capacitance resistor to realize narrow-band bandwidth, on-chip integration is difficult to realize, the development trend of high performance, low power consumption, small area and high integration level of the current design is contradictory to market requirements, and the most common method for reducing the filter capacitance is to use the active filter. The conventional active filter structure is shown in fig. 1, capacitor C0、C1And a resistance R1And the operational amplifier forms a second-order active filter. Although the conventional structure can also reduce the area of the on-chip capacitor, there are two main disadvantages. First, the location of the loop filter poles must be chosen as a compromise between loop phase margin and jitter performance. Second, the loop damping factor requires a large intrinsic phase to stabilize the zero point separation to keep jitter peaks and transient overshoots at specified maximum values.
In response to the above problem, an improved filter structure is proposed, as shown in fig. 2, which separates the integral path CPI from the proportional path CPP, CINTIs an integrating capacitance, R1And CPROPRespectively, the resistance and capacitance of the proportional path. Allowing greater flexibility in the phase margin design of the loop filter. This structure, however, also has the drawbacks of the conventional filter, and above all, it still generates a large proportion of current during the input phase difference, which results in a large glitch and overshoot of the oscillator control current. In addition at low pressureIt is difficult to ensure good matching of the charge pump currents while significantly compressing the input voltage V of the VCOCTRL. The charge pump mismatch current is the most important performance index of the charge pump, the noise performance and even the function of the phase-locked loop can be seriously influenced by excessive current mismatch, and simultaneously VCTRLRequires a larger KVCO, also deteriorates the noise performance, and in addition, the resistor R1There will also be thermal noise.

Example two
The present embodiment specifically describes the operation process of the high-integration active dynamic loop filter in the first embodiment.

Timing diagrams of the first and second switch signals PH1 and PH2, the first and second reset signals RES1 and RES2, and UP/DOWN are shown in fig. 6, where the UP/DOWN signals are input signals of the pre-stage charge pump, that is, outputs of the PFD, and are four input signals for controlling the first proportional current CPP _ INP, the first integral current CPI _ INP, the second proportional current CPP _ INN, and the second integral current CPI _ INN.
For convenience of illustration, looking only at the inverting input of the OPA, as shown in fig. 5 (a), PH1/PH2 and RES1/RES2 are two pairs of two non-overlapping two-phase clock signals, respectively, operating at half the frequency of the PFD input reference clock. For each alternate clock cycle, the first capacitor CoddiAnd a second capacitor CeveniAnd a firstThree capacitors CoddpAnd a fourth capacitance CevenpAlternately discharges without mutual influence. Therefore, two paths controlled by the first switching signal PH1 and the second switching signal PH2 are analyzed separately.
When the first switching signal PH1 is at a high level, the first integrated current CPI _ INP couples to the first capacitor CoddiCharging a first proportional current CPP _ INP to a third capacitor CoddpCharging, as shown in (b) of fig. 5, the charge of proportional path 2 is accumulated in first integrating capacitor CINT1At this time, the control voltage VCtrl(i.e., the output voltage VOUT of the filter) is,

When the second reset signal RES2 is at a high level, the nodes V2a and V2b shown in fig. 5 (a) are reset, and at the same time, the second capacitor C is reseteveniIs accumulated in the first integrating capacitor CINT1Upper, control voltage
The results of the two paths are superimposed and the timing diagram of the complete process is shown in fig. 6. It can be seen that, ultimately, the charge of the integration path 1 can be integrated at a first integration levelContainer CINT1Is continuously accumulated, and the charge on the proportional path 2 is accumulated on the first integrating capacitor CINT1Since there is no memory, it is equivalent to a resistor, and therefore, the switched capacitor structure of proportional path 2 is implemented instead of a resistor.
In this embodiment, the first capacitor CoddiSecond capacitance CeveniA third capacitor CoddpFourth capacitance CevenpThe alternative operation, the pulse time of the first reset signal RES1 and the second reset signal RES2 is not strictly limited, the reset signal is easier to generate, the reset signal is also used in the integration path, and after each integration, the first integrating capacitor C is usedINT1The amount of charge on is continuously accumulated, and the control voltage of the VCO (integrating capacitor C)INTThe output terminal voltage) is continuously increased/decreased, a larger range can be reached, and the nodes V1a, V2a, V1b and V2b connected with the preceding stage charge pump are kept in a small range around VCOM before and after each reset, and can be basically considered to be kept unchanged, so that the contradiction between the matching property of the charge pump and the control voltage range in low voltage is solved, the current mismatch of the charge pump is reduced, the control voltage range is expanded, the voltage-controlled gain of the VCO is reduced, and the noise of the whole phase-locked loop is greatly improved.
Compared with a common sampling reset circuit, the high-integration-level active dynamic loop filter of the embodiment adopts a double-capacitor structure to separate sampling, resetting and phase holding, and the voltages at two ends of the capacitor on the integration path and the proportional path are in different states, namely sampling, resetting and phase holding, through the on and off of the switch controlled by the reset signal. The switches controlled by different reset signals work alternately, the pulse time of the reset signals is not strictly limited, the reset signals are easier to generate, meanwhile, the reset signals are also used on an integration path, after each integration, the electric charge on an integration capacitor is accumulated continuously, the output control voltage is increased/decreased continuously to reach a larger range, and a node connected with a preceding charge pump is kept in a small range around a common mode Voltage (VCOM) before and after each reset and basically can be considered to be kept unchanged, so that the contradiction between the matching of the charge pump and the control voltage range in low voltage is solved, the control voltage range is expanded while the current mismatch of the charge pump is reduced, the value of the KVCO is reduced, and the noise of the whole phase-locked loop is greatly improved.
