Description

Accurate pure AC voltage/current convertor with low noise
Technical field
The present invention relates to the voltage to current converter of pure interchange output, lay particular emphasis on signal quality characteristic such as noise, DC maladjustment, interchange bandwidth and AC impedance, belong to converting electrical signal or processing technology field (IPCG05F/H03F), and non-power or power technique fields.
Background technology
At resonance type micromechanical Sensitive Apparatus and dependence test instrument field,, need a kind of high performance ac current source sometimes, for the cross-correlation detection circuit provides high-quality reference signal for realizing the detection of weak periodic signal.The critical nature of this ac current source is output noise, output imbalance, motional impedance and exchanges frequency response.Consideration proposes following index than common situation: output current 0.1mA P-p~10mA P-p, surrender voltage 〉=5V P-p, low-frequency range (0.1~10Hz) noise≤0.2nA Rms, output imbalance 50.1 μ A, motional impedance 〉=50k Ω, frequency of operation 5kHz~5MHz.And this current source should be a current source (realize difficulty far above the suspension load current source) over the ground, and its output should be pure alternating current (realizing that difficulty is far above pulsating direct current electric current source).In addition, in the realization of the electromagnetic exciting principle of micro mechanical device, also to use the high-quality ac current source sometimes.
As the ac current source of signal source, can adopt the alternating-current voltage source driving voltage-power pack of individual features and realize.The AC signal source technology of voltage form is quite ripe, so key is voltage to current converter (hereinafter to be referred as V/I).V/I is the mimic channel that the voltage signal of input is transformed to current signal, i.e. voltage-controlled current source (VCCS) in the circuit network theory.
The V/I of the common pure alternating current of output comprises Howland current pump and the differential sampling feedback formula of output current current source.But be subjected to the restriction of operational amplifier GBW index, these schemes are difficult to obtain good high frequency characteristics.If improve high frequency performance and adopt broadband or video algorithms amplifier, can influence DC performance again.Because the comprehensive DC performance of broadband operational amplifier can't be equal to the precision operational-amplifier of bandwidth relative narrower eventually.
The V/I of tool advantage is exactly the single-transistor amplifier that is made of a field effect transistor (FET) aspect high frequency characteristics, comprises cascode configuration and common base configuration.This class circuit has good noisiness simultaneously, and circuit structure is extremely simple.Because the common base configuration high frequency characteristics is better, output impedance is higher, therefore select common base configuration single-transistor amplifier as technical foundation of the present invention.
Because the h of FET OsThe restriction of parameter, the output impedance of single-transistor amplifier are still to dislike not enough sometimes.Increase degeneration resistors and constitute series current negative feedback single-transistor amplifier, can effectively strengthen output impedance, can also improve the linear bandwidth that also further improves simultaneously.Be exactly well-known Cascode (common-emitter common-base circuit) in addition, as the part in the empty frame of Fig. 2 circuit.This circuit has the high input impedance charcteristic of the high output impedance characteristic and the cascode configuration of common base configuration concurrently, and has effectively suppressed the input Miller capacitance effect.Develop some other on this basis again and improved circuit, " Cascode of adjustment (RGC) " that proposes as people's such as people such as Eduard S  ckinger " high amplitude of oscillation high impedance MOS Cascode " and Howard C.Yang " active negative feedback common-emitter common-base current source " is as the part in the empty frame of Fig. 3 circuit.Cascode or RGC all can equivalences be " the compound FET " that an output impedance strengthens, and adopts FET in the original circuit of this " compound FET " replacement can significantly improve the output impedance characteristic of original circuit.
In addition, the discreteness of transistor characteristic parameter and drift are all very big, and be incorrect if the working point is provided with, and also can produce bigger non-linear.Increase constitutes the active feedback transistor V/I of basic model based on the active negative feedback network of operational amplifier, can effectively address these problems, referring to Fig. 1.Negative feedback has improved static accuracy greatly, and has improved the low frequency output impedance of circuit.
Single-transistor V/I still is that active feedback transistor V/I belongs to direct current V/I, and promptly output can only be often to be worth DC current or pulsating direct current electric current.For obtaining pure alternating current, must adopt two V/I, both output currents are superposeed, to offset DC component.The DC component of offsetting back " remnants " for assurance is enough little, i.e. output imbalance is enough low, and two V/I must have enough DC precision.Single-transistor V/I can't satisfy this requirement, therefore can only adopt active feedback transistor V/I.But active feedback transistor V/I is subjected to the restriction of operational amplifier GBW index equally, is difficult to obtain good high frequency characteristics.Key issue is, as long as the closed loop of direct current signal and AC signal overlaps in the circuit, just is difficult to effectively take into account DC performance and exchange performance.
U.S. Pat 5,815,012 1996.08.02 H02M 011/00 has proposed a kind of fully integrated high frequency V/I scheme, has high frequency characteristics and output impedance preferably.Yet this scheme has adopted active negative feedback, and the coincidence of the closed loop of direct current signal and AC signal, therefore still can not take into account DC performance to greatest extent and exchange performance.And this scheme has adopted current mirroring circuit, is difficult to adopt discrete component to be realized, must take monolithic integrated usually, promptly adopts asic technology, disposable input height, and a lot of occasions do not have such condition.
In a word, though existing various monotechnics all has advantage in a certain respect, all can't satisfy desired performance index comprehensively.Key is DC precision and the contradiction that exchanges between the bandwidth.
Summary of the invention
Technology of the present invention is dealt with problems and is: for solving above-mentioned DC precision and the contradiction that exchanges between the bandwidth, a kind of accurate pure AC voltage/current convertor with low noise is provided, make the part of decision DC precision relatively independent with the part that decision exchanges bandwidth, promptly determine the part of DC precision not hinder the AC energy, the part that decision exchanges bandwidth does not hinder DC performance yet, thereby realizes " DC performance with exchange performance take into account "; Taked some squelch measures in addition, reached finally that desired output noise is low, output imbalance is little and motional impedance with exchange performance index such as frequency response.
Technical solution of the present invention: accurate pure AC voltage/current convertor with low noise, be made up of block isolating circuit, symmetrical constant-current circuit, direct transform device and negative transducer, block isolating circuit carries out every straight processing back generation two-way ac voltage signal and exports respectively being coupled to the ac voltage input of direct transform device and the ac voltage input of negative transducer to input voltage signal; The symmetry constant-current circuit produces that one tunnel positive polarity often is worth electric current and one tunnel negative polarity often is worth electric current, positive polarity often is worth that electric current and negative polarity often are worth the size of current coupling and direction is opposite, positive polarity often is worth direction of current for flowing out output terminal, for the direct transform device provides required normal value bias current, negative polarity often is worth direction of current for flowing into output terminal, for negative transducer provides required normal value bias current; The direct transform device will be an alternating current from one road ac voltage signal linear transformation of block isolating circuit, obtain total output current after superposeing with normal value bias current, and total output current is pulsating direct current, and is positive polarity, and promptly direction of current is for flowing out output terminal; Negative transducer will be an alternating current from another road ac voltage signal linear transformation of block isolating circuit, obtain total output current after superposeing with normal value bias current, and total output current is pulsating direct current, and is negative polarity, and promptly direction of current is for flowing into output terminal; The output current of direct transform device and the output current of negative transducer be in the stack of the output terminal of described voltage to current converter, two accurate couplings and opposite polarity normal value current component is cancelled each other, thus obtain pure ac output current; Described direct transform device (3) is identical with negative transducer (4) structure, form by the single-transistor common base configuration amplifier that mainly constitutes by transistor and resistance, and adopt low noise constant reference voltage source to provide gate bias voltage, thereby obtain good dynamic output impedance, a-c cycle response and noisiness for transistor.

Embodiment
As shown in Figure 4, the present invention is made up of block isolating circuit (1), symmetrical constant-current circuit (2), direct transform device (3) and negative transducer (4), and block isolating circuit (1) carries out every straight processing back generation two-way ac voltage signal and export respectively being coupled to the ac voltage input of direct transform device (3) and the ac voltage input of negative transducer (4) to input voltage signal; Symmetry constant-current circuit (2) generation one tunnel positive polarity often is worth electric current and one tunnel negative polarity often is worth electric current, positive polarity often is worth that electric current and negative polarity often are worth the size of current coupling and direction is opposite, positive polarity often is worth direction of current for flowing out output terminal, for direct transform device (3) provides required normal value bias current, negative polarity often is worth direction of current for flowing into output terminal, for negative transducer (4) provides required normal value bias current; Direct transform device (3) will be an alternating current from one road ac voltage signal linear transformation of block isolating circuit (1), with obtain total output current after the stack of normal value bias current, total output current is pulsating direct current, and be positive polarity, be that direction of current is to flow out output terminal, negative transducer (4) will be an alternating current from another road ac voltage signal linear transformation of block isolating circuit (1), with obtain total output current after the stack of normal value bias current, total output current is pulsating direct current, and be negative polarity, be that direction of current is to flow into output terminal, the output current of the output current of direct transform device (3) and negative transducer (4) is in the output terminal stack of described voltage to current converter, two accurate couplings and opposite polarity normal value current component is cancelled each other, thus pure ac output current obtained.
As shown in Figure 5, direct transform device (3) is mainly realized the voltage-to-current conversion by the single-transistor common base configuration amplifier that transistor (Q31) and resistor (R31) constitute, transistor (Q31) adopts P channel fet (or superelevation β value PNP transistor), the output cathode electric current, electric current flows out drain electrode, promptly so-called voltage-controlled " current source "; Negative transducer (4) is realized the voltage-to-current conversion by the single-transistor common base configuration amplifier that transistor (Q41) and resistor (R41) constitute, transistor (Q41) adopts N channel fet (or superelevation β value NPN transistor), the output negative pole electric current, electric current flows into drain electrode, promptly so-called voltage-controlled " electric current remittance ".Manage to make two sub-transducer output DC component equal and opposite in directions, and the AC compounent phase place is identical, and both output currents are directly sued for peace, then DC component is offset, and the AC compounent stack obtains pure ac output current.For making transistor (Q31) and transistor (Q41) have correct voltage power supply point, adopt reference voltage source (V31) and negative reference voltage source (V41) to provide constant gate bias voltage respectively for the two.
In view of direct transform device (3) and negative transducer (4) structural symmetry, principle are identical, below be that example is analyzed only with negative transducer (4).The small-signal transfer characteristics of the single-transistor common base configuration amplifier in the negative transducer is i Out=v In/ (R 41+ 1/g M41).G wherein M41The forward direction mutual conductance of expression transistor (Q41), i.e. y FsEven adopt constant biasing to solve the precision problem of DC component, still there are three problems in this circuit: the error of the amplitude output signal that the FET parameter discrete causes; The temperature of the amplitude output signal that FET parameters of temperature coefficient causes is floated; The signal waveform distortion that the FET nonlinear characteristic causes.Preliminary solution is the resistance R that suitably increases feedback resistor (R41) 41, make 1/g M41Reduce relatively.Further, can float by the sum of errors temperature of demarcation and software temperature compensation solution signal amplitude.Institute requires not harsh usually for the reference waveform signal degree of distortion at application, strengthening R 41The basis on, the suitable AC compounent i of oxide-semiconductor control transistors (Q41) drain-source current AC, make its peak I ACMuch smaller than its DC component I DC, promptly be enough to effectively control nonlinear distortion.Suggestion value: R 41〉=10/g M41, I AC≤ 0.1~0.3I DC
Certainly, if R 41Increase, for reaching same i ACAmplitude, v InAmplitude also must corresponding increase.For small-signal MOSFET or JFET, conservative estimation g M41=3mS, and get R 41=15/g M41=5k Ω.If output current peak I AC<1mA, then corresponding v InPeak value is no more than 5V, still can accept under prior art.But if I ACFurther increase then required v InAmplitude will be difficult for realizing.At this moment, the block isolating circuit before the suggestion translation circuit adopts the transformer isolation principle, and adopts step-up transformer.
For guaranteeing that direct transform device (3) and negative transducer (4) output DC component accurately mate, be respectively both by normal value constant current source (21) and negative normal value constant current source (22) bias current is provided.Normal value constant current source (21) provides normal value bias current for direct transform device (3), and output current is a positive polarity, and direction of current is for flowing out output terminal, i.e. so-called " current source "; Negative normal value constant current source (22) provides bias current for negative transducer (4), and output current is a negative polarity, and direction of current is for flowing into output terminal, i.e. so-called " electric current remittance ".The advantage of constant biasing is thoroughly to have eliminated the parameter discrete of FET and the adverse effect of drift, guarantees the stable of working point electric current.Simultaneously, transistor is selected the small-signal MOSFET or the JFET of correct bias for use, grid current is reduced to minimum, and input signal carried out every directly, the normal value component that can guarantee direct transform device and negative transducer output current accurately equals normal value bias current separately, thereby realizes " part that decision exchanges bandwidth does not hinder DC performance ".
Normal value constant current source (21) and negative normal value constant current source (22) are the active feedback transistor V/I with normal value reference input voltage, guarantee DC precision with the dark negative feedback by operational amplifier.Two normal value reference voltages are connected on the coupling precision resistor (R21) of its both sides by same normal value respectively with reference to constant current source (I20) and two and (R22) produce.Sort circuit has outstanding power-supply fluctuation rejection, and the symmetry that often is worth reference voltage is irrelevant with the reference constant current source only by two precision resistor decisions, so be fit to very much the occasion of this needs symmetric reference voltage.
The employing of operational amplifier will inevitably influence the interchange performance of active feedback transistor V/I.Among the present invention active feedback transistor V/I only normal threshold voltage is transformed to normal value electric current, so its exchange transfer characteristics to circuit performance without any influence.But it exchanges output impedance r oThen different.By Fig. 5, because of there is alternating voltage v in transistor (Q41) source electrode s=i AC/ g M41So flowing through the negative alternating current of the drain electrode of the transistor (Q22) of value constant current source often is v s/ r oSo r oMust in whole working band, keep stable to guarantee the amplitude flatness of circuit.And active feedback transistor V/I exactly has such characteristics: the high-frequency transfer (HFT) characteristic is subjected to the restriction of operational amplifier, but as long as suitable selector model and working point, and adopt Cascode or RGC " compound FET " to replace simple FET, referring to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, then can effectively improve its high frequency output impedance, the requirement of " part of decision DC precision does not hinder the AC energy " according to the invention just.
On the basis of basic embodiment, pure AC voltage/current convertor of the present invention is that needs are discussed on some parts or ins and outs or has multiple embodiment.
Because of direct transform device (3) and negative transducer (4) have all adopted suspension level structure, block isolating circuit (1) is necessary.Block isolating circuit (1) can adopt electric capacity every straight principle or transformer isolation principle.Electric capacity is simple every straight schematic circuit, has the advantage of volume, cost and operating frequency range aspect, and these three aspects are the deficiency of transformer isolation principle just also; The advantage of transformer isolation is can not only the isolated DC component, realize that level suspends, and have and isolate low frequency and broadband noise, inhibition common mode interference, realize function such as impedance matching, above also mentioning simultaneously and adopting step-up transformer is significant for the amplitude of improvement precision, temperature stability and nonlinear distortion etc.
Adopt electric capacity as shown in Figure 6, adopt two-stage electric capacity every (C10) with (C11) directly can effectively suppress the dc shift and the low-frequency noise of input voltage every the basic embodiment of straight principle.
Transformer then can adopt single secondary coil every straight principle, as shown in Figure 7, or two-pack sideline circle, as shown in Figure 8.The advantage of single secondary coil is that transformer device structure is simple, is convenient to type selecting or customization.The advantage of two-pack sideline circle is to make the noise of gate bias voltage that the single-transistor amplifier is become the common mode composition, thereby has effectively suppressed the output current noise that produces because of it.Therefore, exigent occasions such as noise, range stability and waveform distortion advise adopting second kind of transformer isolation principle in that frequency span is limited.
For further improving the output impedance of circuit, 4 on the AC signal path among Fig. 8 can be replaced with previously described Cascode or RGC " compound FET " respectively at crucial transistor Q21, Q22, Q31, Q41, promptly obtain as Fig. 9 and circuit shown in Figure 10.Corresponding relation is as shown in the table.

Q23 Q31+Q32,Cascode Q31+Q32+Q33,RGC

For the constant current source (I30) among the constant current source among each figure (I20) and Figure 10, precision, temperature float with motional impedance etc. be not emphasis, key is noiseproof feature.Therefore, the constant current source that can adopt the short circuit of depletion type JFET grid source to constitute.But the JFET discreteness is too big, and device screening work is difficult to avoid usually, thus also can select current regulator diode for use, as 2DH series.In fact, if power quality is fine, voltage source precision and stability are also enough, can adopt the low noise resistor to replace the semiconductor constant current device fully.
Capacitor (C25) and capacitor (C26) are all compensation condenser, get 5pF~100pF usually, and effect is a stability of guaranteeing negative feedback loop.In case of necessity, also can adopt more high capacity, for example 0.01 μ F forms 10ms even bigger RC time constant with resistor (R27) and resistor (R28) respectively, this moment, the effect of these two capacitors no longer was a stabiloity compensation, but effectively suppressed high frequency, intermediate frequency and even than the noise of low-frequency range.But this measure meeting is the time response of " passivation " circuit further, makes the interchange output impedance of active feedback V/I almost completely depend on the y of FET OsParameter.At this moment, adopt Fig. 2 or Cascode or RGC " compound FET " shown in Figure 3 to replace simple FET, just seem particularly necessary.When less demanding, also can omit this two capacitors, but this obviously still belong to interest field of the present invention, and can not can be regarded as new circuit structure.
Resistor (R27) and resistor (R28), produce compensation or the LPF effect except that cooperating with capacitor (C25) and capacitor (C26), also, further strengthen the output impedance of active feedback V/I respectively as the local current feedback resistance of transistor (Q21) and transistor (Q22).When performance requirement is not high, also can omit this two resistors, with the simplification circuit, but this obviously still belongs to interest field of the present invention, and can not can be regarded as new circuit structure.
Capacitor (C21) (C22) (C23) (C24) all belongs to the noise filtering capacitor.If the noisiness of used reference voltage source and resistor is all enough good, perhaps noiseproof feature is less demanding, also can omit, and with the simplification circuit, but this obviously still belongs to interest field of the present invention, and can not can be regarded as new circuit structure.
Resistor (R25) and resistor (R26) all are operational amplifier input bias current balance resistances, usually can omit, operational amplifier for certain model then should omit, but this obviously still belongs to interest field of the present invention, and can not can be regarded as new circuit structure.
(Q22) (Q31) (Q41) for transistor (Q21), can select MOSFET or JFET for use, the whole FET that replaces of " compound FET " circuit that also available Cascode, RGC or other performance strengthen, so long as adopt the simple FET that replaces wherein of public circuit form, just can not can be regarded as new circuit structure, and still belong to interest field of the present invention.
Be the performance of real performance circuit of the present invention, the model of Primary Component must be selected meticulously.
Obviously, circuit of the present invention can adopt discrete device to realize, also can carry out monolithic integrated (possibly of partition capacitance device can't be integrated).If select discrete MOSFET for use, existing commercially available MOSFET device is mostly at power or switch application, thereby some characteristic relevant with the linear signal processing is desirable not to the utmost, thus should select miniwatt MOSFET as far as possible, and note the I in the device handbook GSS, r DS, f T, C Iss, C Oss, C RssEtc. parameter.If select discrete JFET for use, commercially available JFET is generally depletion type, and MOSFET is generally enhancement mode, should note the difference of the two required bias voltage.
Relevant speciality technician should understand the corresponding relation between FET and the bipolar transistor (BJT).FET among the present invention also can correspondingly replace with BJT, is about to N-MOSFET or N-JFET and replaces with NPN transistor, and P-MOSFET or P-JFET replace with the PNP transistor.The G of FET, D, S electrode be B, C, the E electrode of corresponding BJT respectively.For reducing the dc error that the BJT base current causes, its current gain (β value) height of should trying one's best.Can also adopt the compound circuit (Darlington circuit) of a plurality of BJT in case of necessity, to obtain higher β value.
For guaranteeing linearity, stability and the noiseproof feature of circuit, capacitor (C21) (C22) (C23) (C24) (C25) (C26) all should adopt the model that stability is high, loss tangent is low, adsorption effect is low, electric leakage is low, as high-performance organic film (polystyrene or teflon) capacitor, NPO/C0G sheet monolithic capacitor or other high-quality signal capacitor for filter.
Precision resistor (R21) and (R22) determined the matching of normal value constant current source (21) and negative normal value constant current source (22) output current so should select high precision, low-temperature coefficient, low noise model for use, winds the line or metal film resistor as precision.In fact, the precision of the absolute value of these two resistors is unimportant, and key is the matching degree of the two.When circuit layout designs, should make the two approaching as far as possible, approaching to guarantee the two temperature.If adopt the monolithic Integrated Solution to realize, then should give full play to the advantage that integrated circuit is realized device matching easily, improve the matching degree of the two.
Because of the DC performance of circuit depends on normal value constant current source (21) and negative normal value constant current source (22), the absolute value of reference voltage source (V31) and negative reference voltage source (V41) has error slightly, or certain temperature drift is arranged, and all can not influence the DC performance of circuit.The key index of reference voltage source (V31) and negative reference voltage source (V41) is noiseproof feature.So should select the low noise model, can take the filtering noise reduction measure in case of necessity.
Micromechanics Sensitive Apparatus field is the higher but frequency span relative narrower (as centre frequency ± 10%) of frequency of operation often, and lays particular stress on output noise and output impedance.This moment, typical embodiment was second kind of transformer isolation principle of selection, and adopted necessary impedance enhancement techniques, the i.e. described Fig. 9 of preamble or Figure 10 circuit.
