Example 1
An embodiment of the invention provides a dynamic comparator, which solves the problem that the overall performance of an analog-digital converter is affected due to degradation intolerance of the comparator in the prior art.
In one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, a dynamic comparator is provided, where the dynamic comparator includes:
the input stage module 101, the input end of which is connected with the first voltage signal and the second voltage signal, the control end of which is connected with the first clock signal CK1, is used for amplifying the first voltage signal and the second voltage signal when the first clock signal CK1 is enabled and obtaining a first amplified voltage signal and a second amplified voltage signal;
The latch module 103 comprises a second positive electrode input end and a second negative electrode input end, and the latch module 103 is used for comparing the first amplified voltage signal with the second amplified voltage signal and outputting a comparison result;
the switch module 102 includes a first positive input end, a first negative input end, a first positive output end, a first negative output end, and a control end, where the first positive input end is connected to one of the first amplified voltage signal and the second amplified voltage signal, the first negative input end is connected to the other of the first amplified voltage signal and the second amplified voltage signal, one of the first positive output end and the first negative output end is connected to the second positive input end of the latch module, the other of the first positive output end and the first negative output end is connected to the second negative input end of the latch module 103, the control end is connected to the second clock signal CK2, and the switch module 102 is configured to control the first positive input end and the first negative input end to be alternately communicated with the first positive output end and the first negative output end one by one according to the second clock signal CK2, so that the first positive output end and the first negative output end switch and the second amplified voltage signal to the latch module 103 respectively.
The first clock signal CK1 may be enabled in a rising edge state or a high level state, and the input stage module 101 is configured to amplify the first voltage signal and the second voltage signal according to the first clock signal CK1 when the first clock signal CK1 is enabled, so as to obtain the first voltage signal and the second voltage signal with higher resolution. The first clock signal CK1 being inactive means that the state in which the first clock signal CK1 is in is opposite to the enable state, for example, when the first clock signal CK1 is inactive and may be in a falling edge or a low level state, the first voltage signal and the second voltage signal are reset, and at this time, the output first amplified voltage signal and the second amplified voltage signal are both in a high level or a low level. The input stage module 101 may be isolated in addition to amplification to avoid reverse impact of subsequent circuitry on the input signal.
The switch module 102 includes a first positive input end, a first negative input end, a first positive output end, and a first negative output end, where the first positive input end is connected to the second amplified voltage signal when the first positive input end is connected to the first amplified voltage signal, or the first positive input end is connected to the second amplified voltage signal when the first positive input end is connected to the first amplified voltage signal. The switch module 102 may control the first positive input end and the first negative input end to be alternately connected with the first positive output end and the first negative output end according to the second clock signal, where the one-to-one correspondence refers to that one input end is connected with only one output end, and the case that one input end is not connected with two output ends or two input ends are connected with one output end is not included, including that the first positive input end is connected with the first positive output end, the first negative input end is connected with the first negative output end, or the first positive input end is connected with the first negative output end, and the first negative input end is connected with the first positive output end. The alternate connection means that the two groups of corresponding relations are switched on. The alternately connected time points may be within one period or may not be within one period of the second clock signal CK2. Taking alternate connection in one period as an example, for example, when the second clock signal CK2 is at a high level, the first positive input terminal is connected to the first positive output terminal, and the first negative input terminal is connected to the first negative output terminal; when the second clock signal CK2 is at a low level, the first positive input terminal is connected to the first negative output terminal, and the first negative input terminal is connected to the first positive output terminal. The switch module 102 may have two controllable switches, wherein an input end of each controllable switch is connected to a voltage signal, control ends of the two controllable switches are both connected to the second clock signal CK2, and different input ends and output ends are connected through a change-over switch; or four controllable switches are arranged, wherein the input ends of the two controllable switches are connected with a voltage signal, the control ends of the two controllable switches are connected with the second clock signal CK2, and the control ends of the other two controllable switches are connected with the second clock signal CK2 through an inverter. Or two complementary switching tubes (PNP or NPN switching tubes) and two diodes are adopted to form a switch gating circuit. The difference between the adding switch module 102 and the prior art is that the output signal is directly switched according to the state of the second clock signal CK2 without depending on the receiving signal, so that the output signal can be dynamically changed to the input end of the latch module more flexibly.
The latch module 103 is configured to compare the first amplified voltage signal and the second amplified voltage signal output from the switch module 102 and output a result. When the comparator is in a no-input flip scene or the input signal is unchanged for a long time, the latch module 103 maintains the latch state and cannot flip when the input signal is unchanged, so that the comparator is degraded. When the switch module 102 changes the state of the output signal of the output end of the switch module 102 according to the second clock signal CK2, the latch module 103 restarts to work, so that the state that the latch module 103 has no input signal or the latch state cannot be turned over is avoided.
The first embodiment of the invention has the technical effects that: by arranging the switch module between the input stage module and the latch module, the switch module is turned on and off according to the second clock signal, and the input end of the latch stage in the comparator can be controlled to be dynamically switched through the time sequence switch, so that the latch module can dynamically turn over along with the input signal, and the automatic comparison is not required to be completely carried out by the turning over of the input end signal of the input stage module, thereby avoiding the situation that the latch module maintains the latch state and cannot be turned over to cause degradation under the condition that the comparator does not have an input turning over scene or the input signal is unchanged for a long time.
Example two
The second embodiment of the invention provides a dynamic comparator, which solves the problem of how to realize that two clock signals control a switch module so as to output different signals to a latch module in the first embodiment.
According to the technical scheme provided by the second embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, based on the technical scheme provided by the first embodiment, the control end of the switch module 102 is further connected to a third clock signal, and the switch module 102 is configured to control the first positive input end and the first negative input end to be alternately communicated with the first positive output end and the first negative output end in a one-to-one correspondence manner according to the second clock signal and the third clock signal, so that the first positive output end and the first negative output end respectively switch and output the first amplified voltage signal and the second amplified voltage signal to the latch module 103.
The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the number of the input clock signals is different, and the second embodiment inputs the second clock signal and the third clock signal to the control terminal of the switch module 102 at the same time, so that the first amplified voltage signal and the second amplified voltage signal can be output in different manners. The output modes of the different modes include: the first output mode may be to alternately control the switch to be turned on by the second clock signal and the third clock signal, so that the first positive output terminal of the switch module 102 outputs the first amplified voltage signal, and the first negative output terminal outputs the second amplified voltage signal. The second output mode may be to alternately control the switch to be turned on by the second clock signal and the third clock signal, so that the first positive output terminal of the switch module 102 outputs the second amplified voltage signal, and the first negative output terminal outputs the first amplified voltage signal. The technical effect of the two modes is that the latch module 103 can automatically realize dynamic overturning. The third way may be to alternately control the switch to be turned on by the second clock signal and the third clock signal, so that the first positive output terminal of the switch module 102 alternately outputs the first amplified voltage signal and the second amplified voltage signal, and the first negative output terminal alternately outputs the second amplified voltage signal and the second amplified voltage signal. The third mode has the technical effect that the input signal of the latch module 103 can be dynamically adjusted by turning over the output signals of the first output end and the second output end, so that the latch module 103 can automatically realize dynamic turning over. The problem of aging caused by the fact that the input signal of the latch module 103 is unchanged for a long time is avoided.
For the third mode, in each clock cycle of the first clock signal, the second clock signal and the third clock signal control the first positive input terminal and the first negative input terminal to be alternately communicated with the first positive output terminal and the first negative output terminal in one-to-one correspondence. The specific operation of the switch module 102 is: when the second clock signal is enabled and the third clock signal is invalid, the first positive electrode input end is connected with the first positive electrode output end, and the first negative electrode input end is connected with the first negative electrode output end; when the second clock signal is invalid and the third clock signal is enabled, the first positive electrode input end is connected with the first negative electrode output end, and the first negative electrode input end is connected with the first positive electrode output end.
The second clock signal is enabled to be in a falling edge or low level state, and the second clock signal is disabled to be in a rising edge or high level state. The third clock signal enable may be a rising edge or a high state and the second clock signal disable may be a falling edge or a low state.
In the embodiment, two clock signals are adopted, so that the switching-on time of the input end and the output end of the switch can be adjusted more flexibly than the time of adopting one clock signal.
As an example of the implementation of the third manner, as shown in fig. 3, the switch module 102 includes a first control switch 121, a second control switch 122, a third control switch 123 and a fourth control switch 124, where an input end of the first control switch 121 and an input end of the fourth control switch 124 are commonly connected to form a first positive input end, an input end of the second control switch 122 and an input end of the third control switch 123 are commonly connected to form a first negative input end, a control end of the first control switch 121 and a control end of the second control switch 122 are both connected to a second clock signal, a control end of the third control switch 123 and a control end of the fourth control switch 124 are both connected to a third clock signal, an output end of the second control switch 122 and an output end of the fourth control switch 124 are commonly connected to form a first positive output end, an output end of the first control switch 121 and an output end of the third control switch 123 are commonly connected to form a first negative output end, when the second clock signal is enabled, the first control switch 121 and the second control switch 122 are both connected to the second clock signal, and the fourth control switch 124 are both connected to the third clock signal.
The first to fourth control switches 121 to 124 may be PMOS transistors, and at this time, the second clock signal enable may be a falling edge or a low level state, and the second clock signal disable may be a rising edge or a high level state. The third clock signal enable may be a rising edge or a high state and the second clock signal disable may be a falling edge or a low state. The first control switch 121 to the fourth control switch 124 may also be NMOS transistors, and enabling and disabling of the second clock signal and the third clock signal is opposite to the above.
For enabling time points of the second clock signal and the third clock signal, in each clock period of the first clock signal, the second clock signal and the third clock signal are used for enabling the first positive electrode input end and the first negative electrode input end to be respectively and alternately communicated with the first positive electrode output end and the first negative electrode output end in a one-to-one correspondence mode.
It should be noted that the second clock signal and the third clock signal are input ends of the latch stage alternately switched in each clock cycle of the first clock signal, and the switching manner of the second clock signal and the third clock signal in the present invention is not limited to this switching manner, and other switching manners such as random flip replacement switching are also applicable to the present invention.
The technical effect of the technical scheme provided in the second embodiment is as follows: through inputting second clock signal and third clock signal in the switch module, and then realize outputting or overturn and export first amplified voltage signal and second amplified voltage signal, can the input signal of dynamic regulation latch module for latch state can realize dynamic upset automatically, avoids latch module's input signal to constantly lead to ageing problem for a long time.
Example III
The third embodiment of the invention provides a dynamic comparator, which solves the problem of how to realize that the output polarity of the whole signal is unchanged when the output of the switch module in the second embodiment turns over the input signal.
The technical solution provided by the third embodiment of the present invention is based on the technical solution provided by the second embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, and the dynamic comparator further includes:
the output stage module 104 includes a third positive input end, a third negative input end, a third positive output end, a third negative output end and a control end, wherein the third positive input end is connected with the second positive output end of the latch module, the third negative input end is connected with the second negative output end of the latch module, the third positive output end outputs a first comparison signal, the third negative output end outputs a second comparison signal, and the control end is connected with the fourth clock signal CK4 and the fifth clock signal CK5, so that the polarities of the first comparison signal and the first voltage signal are consistent according to the fourth clock signal CK4 and the fifth clock signal CK5, and the polarities of the second comparison signal and the second voltage signal are consistent.
The input stage module 101 includes a fourth positive input end, a fourth negative input end, a fourth positive output end, and a fourth negative output end, where the fourth positive input end is connected to the first voltage signal, the fourth negative input end is connected to the second voltage signal, the fourth positive output end outputs a first amplified voltage signal to the first positive input end, the fourth negative output end outputs a second amplified voltage signal to the first negative input end, the first positive output end is connected to the second positive input end, and the first negative output end is connected to the second negative input end.
The fact that the first comparison signal is consistent with the signal polarity of the first positive input end of the switch module 102 and the second comparison signal is consistent with the signal polarity of the first negative input end of the switch module means that the third positive output end of the output stage module 104 has a corresponding relationship with the first positive input end of the switch module 102 and the third negative output end of the output stage module 104 has a corresponding relationship with the first negative input end of the switch module 102, in the comparator, the polarities of the input end and the output end refer to their voltage relationship, and the polarities are the same, which means that the two ports have the same voltage relationship. For example, when the voltage at the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator is higher than the voltage at the inverting input terminal, the voltage at the output terminal is high or positive, and the polarities of the input terminal and the output terminal are the same, both being high or positive. Similarly, when the voltage at the inverting input is higher than the voltage at the non-inverting input, the voltage at the output is either low or negative, and the polarities of the input and output are the same. That is, when the switch module 102 normally outputs signals of the first positive input end and the first negative input end, the latch module 103 is turned over and then outputs the signals to the output stage module, and the third positive output end and the third negative output end of the output stage module 104 normally output a first comparison signal and a second comparison signal; when the switch module 102 turns over and outputs the signals of the first positive electrode input end and the first negative electrode input end, the latch module 103 outputs the signals to the output stage module 104 after turning over, and the third positive electrode output end and the third negative electrode end of the output stage module 104 turn over and output the first comparison signal and the second comparison signal, so that the overall polarity can be kept unchanged.
As an example, when the voltage value of the signal of the fourth positive input terminal of the input stage module 101 is greater than the voltage value of the signal of the fourth negative input terminal of the input stage module 101, the polarity of the first comparison signal is at a high level, and the polarity of the second comparison signal is at a low level; when the voltage value of the signal at the fourth positive input terminal of the input stage module 101 is smaller than the voltage value of the signal at the fourth negative input terminal of the input stage module 101, the polarity of the first comparison signal is low, and the polarity of the second comparison signal is high.
In order that the first comparison signal and the second comparison signal reflect the magnitude relationship (the same polarity) between the signal at the fourth positive input terminal of the input stage module 101 and the signal at the fourth negative input terminal of the input stage module 101, there is a correspondence relationship between the fourth clock signal CK4 and the fifth clock signal CK5 and the second clock signal and the third clock signal: for example, when the second clock signal and the third clock signal function to directly transmit the first amplified voltage signal and the second amplified voltage signal to the latch module 103, the fourth clock signal CK4 and the fifth clock signal CK5 cause the output stage module 104 to directly output the comparison result of the latch module 103; when the second clock signal and the third clock signal are used to invert the first amplified voltage signal and the second amplified voltage signal and send the inverted signals to the latch module 103, the fourth clock signal CK4 and the fifth clock signal CK5 enable the output stage module 104 to invert the comparison result of the latch module 103 and output the inverted result.

Example IV
The fourth embodiment of the invention provides a dynamic comparator, which solves the problem of how to reduce the kickback noise of an input voltage signal in the first embodiment.
The first technical scheme provided by the fourth embodiment of the present invention is applicable to the technical schemes provided by at least one of the first to third embodiments. Taking the technical scheme based on the third embodiment as an example, the fourth positive input end of the input stage module 101 is further connected to a first voltage compensation module, and the first voltage compensation module is used for performing voltage compensation on the first voltage signal; and/or, the fourth negative input end of the input stage module 101 is further connected to a second voltage compensation module, and the second voltage compensation module is used for performing voltage compensation on the second voltage signal.
In the process of waiting for the first clock signal to enable, a certain kick noise is generated on the first input terminal and the second input terminal of the input stage module 101, so that the common mode voltage is reduced. In order to boost the common mode voltage, a voltage compensation of the first voltage signal and/or the second voltage signal is required. The voltage compensation module is connected with the first input end and the second input end to provide compensation voltage. The voltage compensation module is a voltage source module for storing voltage, for example, the voltage compensation module is charged by an external power supply, so that the voltage compensation module maintains a certain voltage value, and further voltage compensation is performed.
The technical effect of the first technical scheme of the fourth embodiment is that by performing voltage compensation on the voltages input by the first input end and the second input end, the kick noise of the first input end and the second input end is reduced, and the reduced common mode voltage is also compensated.
Further, based on the first technical solution provided in the fourth embodiment, the fourth embodiment provides a second technical solution, in which, in order to optimize the power supply terminals of the first voltage compensation module and the second voltage compensation module, the first clock signal is used to compensate the first voltage compensation module and the second voltage compensation module. The first end of the first voltage compensation module is connected with the first input end of the input stage module 101, the first end of the second voltage compensation module is connected with the second input end of the input stage module 101, and the second end of the first voltage compensation module and the second end of the second voltage compensation module are both connected with the first clock signal.
The first voltage compensation module comprises a first compensation capacitor, a first end of the first compensation capacitor is connected with a fourth positive input end of the input stage module, and a second end of the first compensation capacitor is connected with a first clock signal; and/or the second voltage compensation module comprises a second compensation capacitor, a first end of the second compensation capacitor is connected with a fourth negative input end of the input stage module, and a second end of the second compensation capacitor is connected with the first clock signal.
The technical effects of the second technical scheme of the fourth embodiment are as follows: the first voltage compensation module and the second compensation module are charged through the first clock signal, voltage compensation is conducted on the voltage input by the first input end and the second input end, kickback noise of the first input end and the second input end is reduced, meanwhile, the lowered common-mode voltage is compensated, the clock signal is adopted for voltage compensation, a voltage source of a compensation circuit is not required to be additionally arranged, the clock signal is multiplexed, and the problem that the voltage of the voltage compensation module drops and the input voltage cannot be compensated timely is avoided.
As an example, as shown in fig. 9, the input stage module 101 includes a PMOS transistor M1, a PMOS transistor M2, an NMOS transistor M3, an NMOS transistor M4, and an NMOS transistor M5. In this structure, when the clock signal CK1 is low, the source-drain voltages of the NMOS transistor M3 and the NMOS transistor M4 are pulled up to the power supply voltage VDD. After the clock signal CK1 is pulled up to a high level, the source voltages of the NMOS transistors M3 and M4 are pulled down to the ground level GND, so that kickback noise is generated on the common mode voltage input to the comparator through the gate-source overlap capacitance of the input tube. The difference between this example and the prior art is that the input stage module 101 further includes a capacitor C1 and a capacitor C2, where a first end of the capacitor C1 is connected to the gate of the NMOS transistor M3 and connected to the first voltage signal, a second end of the capacitor C1 is connected to the gate of the NMOS transistor M5 and connected to the first clock signal, a first end of the capacitor C2 is connected to the gate of the NMOS transistor M4 and connected to the second voltage signal, and a second end of the capacitor C1 is connected to the gate of the NMOS transistor M5 and connected to the first clock signal. When the rising edge of the first clock signal comes, the capacitor C1 and the capacitor C2 are charged, and the voltage formed on the capacitor C1 and the capacitor C2 supplements the voltage of the first voltage signal and the voltage of the second voltage signal, so that the kickback noise of the first input end and the second input end is reduced, and the reduced common-mode voltage is compensated.
