Abstract

A novel peak voltage detector is disclosed. The detector comprises a differential amplifier (1), a charging transistor (2), a capacitance C, an output stage (3), and a current mirror circuit (4). The structure of (1) is asymmetric, so only a singular transistor is loaded. The loaded transistor and the charging transistor (2) commonly form a current mirror. Differential amplifier (1) is used to be a comparator. Charging transistor (2) is used to be a charger for supporting the current to output stage (3) can adjust the voltage signal V (C) of capacitance C to precisely output the value of the peak voltage of the inputted voltage signal. The peak voltage detector uses only 2 PMOS transistors, 6 NMOS transistors, 1 resistance, and 1 capacitance. Moreover, in the output stages, no resistance is higher than 50M ohm, so the structure of the circuit is novel and simple, and the numbers of the involved transistors are less, so no operational amplifiers and resistances that are higher than 50M ohm are introduced, so the level of integration can be high. Moreover, the disclosed peak voltage detector not only can precisely detect the value of the peak voltage of an inputted signal, but also has a output stage to effectively avoid interference caused by the retrieve motion from the external circuit damaging the maintained inputted peak voltage value. At the same time, the effect cause by the over voltage from the differential amplifier is avoided.

Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a voltage peak detector, especially using a differential amplifier, a charging transistor, a capacitor, an output A complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) electronic circuit composed of a stage and a current mirror circuit to obtain accurate voltage peaks. [Prior technology] The voltage peak detector is an electronic circuit that can measure the maximum value of a voltage waveform. In other words, the input of the circuit is a variable voltage signal, and its output is the input voltage waveform. The maximum value. ~ In many applications, the peak value of the input voltage signal must be measured and then retained as a direct current type for subsequent analysis and use. The peak value of a burst is often more useful than its average value. For example, when performing a destructive test, it is necessary to track down and maintain the peak signal, and measure the attenuation of the signal on the transmission medium. Voltage-to-peak detectors are also required for ratio converters (a / d converters), maximum approximate decoding systems (maxi_ plus heartbeat, and pulse signal detection circuits to detect nuclear radiation). Prior art The simplest method of the voltage peak detector is to make the input voltage b tiger pass, diode, and charge the capacitor in order to obtain the value of the input voltage waveform. As shown in the figure-when the input voltage v⑽ is greater than When the voltage of the capacitor c, the diode = charging effect, until the input voltage V (IN) reaches its maximum value, the capacitor C can no longer, "charge" at this time the output voltage ^ _ means the peak value of the input power. Between the positive terminal and the diode = diode D, this circuit cannot accurately detect the input electric truth. In other words, the error between the output sugar _ and the peak value of the input Xia Liao is 2 Γ and the error of the conduction sugar d. That is, Qing ⑽O) = MM (V (IN))-Vd, which is the transient state of 0 · To analyze the simulation results). In terms of application, in order to accurately detect the peak voltage of the input, the above-mentioned diode diode 1245905, so far, many precision electrical value detection techniques have been proposed, such as in the US patent case No. As disclosed in US5, Xie 939, Brush 2746, 55, 7, t96f45, _, 238 and 6462861, and the Republic of China Patent No. 8220146, all of these technologies can accurately detect the ridge value of the input signal. In these electrical peak detectors, more than one operational amplifier is used, so there are still missing circuits, complex D structures, and large chip areas, which are not conducive to the requirements of integrated circuits. Recently, money The technique of mega-amplifying the operation of the peak-chain detector is described in, for example, the Republic of China Patent No. 9_722: "Voltage Peak Detector" (the main table is shown in Figure 3) and 9_88: "Detection of electrical value detection with dual charging paths:" C, the main representative is shown in the detailed diagram) shouted, these technologies are to replace the operational amplifier with a circuit composed of a difference and a current mirror Because it does not make To transport 'includes a simple circuit structure, regardless of a small wafer area and facilitate the miniaturization of the device # multiple effects. However, due to these technologies, the difference is eliminated. A || It has a level of ^ ^ ^ which is higher than that of households ^ 8 41. In addition, '6 Xuan and other technologies have not set an output stage in the peak detector. The peak voltage of the input voltage is external circuit. It can effectively keep the input peak electric movement and reduce, even suffer damage. In addition, these technologies also do not take into account the ^ voltage (0verSh⑽ abbreviated ㈣ effect), familiar with the differential amplifier t white can be converted to the characteristic curve of the differential amplifier (v〇ltage t 譲 fer \ 'to make the differential amplifier — The driving transistor of the square is in the state of passing through the differential driving ^ Lei Ri_Dianji ¥, and at least-the excess voltage VGS is applied between the input terminal of the square driving transistor and the other terminal. Voltage difference. Note that this super two error 'so, these technologies have been proposed in terms of accuracy to take into account the above-mentioned missing precision electrical value detector, l ^ 92120739 m:. ④ Jin Bu)' Although § brother The circuit shown in the fifth figure has proposed a kind of money for the electric peak detector. However, the circuit still has room for improvement. For example, the circuit consumes too much chip area due to the use of resistors above 1245905 in the output stage. And _ the circuit is easy to call, which leads to the problem of reducing the accuracy (please refer to the records in the 24th to 28th lines of the 9th and 39th patent claim day), so there is still room for improvement. , The main purpose of Shuming is Ji Longxi Longfeng Detection 2: The chip has a small area and high integration, and has both a simple circuit structure and j-effects. It also has an output stage to effectively prevent the input peak voltage maintained by external electrical actions from being damaged. Page The main purpose of taking this problem is to propose a voltage peak detection of a quasi-compensated metal oxide semiconductor structure, which can effectively eliminate the excess voltage effect of the differential amplifier. [Summary of the invention] The complementary metal-oxide-half (⑽s) voltage peak detector proposed by the present invention is-differential amplification Γ two charging transistor 2,-capacitor C,-output stage 3 and-current mirror circuit The eight and five differential amplifiers of Group 4 are designed with an asymmetric structure, that is, using only a single-side negative transistor, and the load transistor and the charging transistor are formed together-a current mirror, so it can be compared The traditional precision voltage exaggeration detector (that is, the Republic of China Patent No. 9_722 and the Cong Cong patent = the disclosed voltage peak detection is less than two dirty transistors. In addition, the present invention provides a power and peak detection The device is provided with an output stage, and the output stage is not used with a resistance of more than 50MΩ is E. This not only has a high integration degree, but also can prevent the maintained input and output voltage from being caused by the external circuit's capture action. The damage caused, the same day it seems to have the function of accurately adjusting and outputting the maintained peak voltage. In addition, the present invention is also effective for the excessive voltage effect of the noise difference reducer. [Embodiment] According to the above purpose, the present invention proposes a novel complementary metal-oxide-half (CM0s) voltage peak. The detector is shown in the sixth figure, which is charged by a differential amplifier. Crystal 2, an electric MC,-an output stage 3 and-a current mirror circuit 4, the differential amplifier 丄 is designed using asymmetrical circuit configuration ' 2 and the pM0s transistor Mρι ', among which the Lake M0S transistor_! And Li 2 series are used as drivers, and the pM0s 1245905 transistor MP1 is used as a load transistor. The pole (purchase) between the MOS transistor transistor and _2 receives the input voltage signal V⑽ and the voltage signal v⑹ on the capacitor, respectively. The source (simplifiedly connected together and connected to the current mirror circuit 4), and its drain The poles are respectively connected to the load transistor fertilizer and the power supply voltage Vdd. Please refer to the sixth figure again, the load transistor MP1 and the charging transistor Mp2 together form a current mirror ', and the source of the PM0S transistor MP1 and MP2 Both are connected to the power supply voltage leg, and the gate is connected to the ground, and connected to the MOSFET of the MOS transistor RY1, and the gate of the pMQS transistor Μρι is connected to the electrode to form „Current mirror; Moreover, the pole of pMQS transistor 2 is connected to the-terminal of capacitor IIG, and the other _ terminal of capacitor G is grounded: In addition, output stage 3 is composed of -NM0S transistor surface 3 , And is connected between the power supply voltage and the output terminal. In addition, the current mirror circuit 4 is composed of NMOS transistor N4, MN5, MN6, and-resistor R. The current mirror circuit 4 is used to generate a reference Current iR, and passes the reference current & through the wake-up transistor. 5 The current mirror provides the current of the reference current 比率 mirroring ratio Ib to the differential amplifier 1, and after the current mirror mirroring of the same sun god lake electric crystal and _ domain, provides-and the reference current 1 into a mirror The current of the emission ratio is still 10 to the output stage 3. For the convenience of explanation, the following derivation process describes the simplest model in the metal-oxide semiconductor transistor # 〇rCAD Pspice, and does not consider the channel length modulation (Such as _} modulation) effect. However, in the subsequent simulation verification, all transistor parameters (including channel length modulation effect) in the cadmium are considered. First, the reference current IR and current are derived. Through the current 差 of the differential contact A || 1 and the current Ιουτ of the output stage 3, it can be known from the current mirror circuit 4 shown in the sixth figure that the reference current Ir is equal to lR = (Vdd-VGS5) / R ⑴, where VGS5 is The gate-source voltage VGS5 of NM0S transistor Li 5 can be obtained from the following equation: (Vdd-VGS5) / R = [KP.WN5 / (2.LN5)] · (VGS5 -Vtns) 2 (2) Equation ( 2) WNS and LN5 respectively represent the effective channel width and effective channel length of the mm0 transistor Li 5 'KP represents G rGAD Pspiee-metal oxide semi-transistor model parameters, and Vtn5 represents the threshold voltage (zen) voltage of the zero-base bias of the _S transistor MN5. Furthermore, as shown in the sixth figure The current mirror circuit 4 shown in conjunction with the working principle of the current mirror circuit can be obtained by not obtaining the current IB flowing through the differential amplifier 1 and the current I 〇u τ, 1245905 flowing through the output stage 3. The result is

Ib= Ir · (Wn4/LN4) /(WN5/LN5) ⑶ Ι〇υτ= Ir · (Wn6/LN6) /(WN5/LN5) ⑷ 其中,Ww和LW分別表示該腿〇s電晶體腿之有效通道寬度及有效通道長 度,而WN0和LN6則分別表示該麵0S電晶體丽6之有效通道寬度及有效 電流Id (MNl) (5) 接著,當輸入電壓V(IN)大於電容器上之電壓y(c)時 會大於Id (MN2),且Ib = Ir · (Wn4 / LN4) / (WN5 / LN5) ⑶ Ι〇υτ = Ir · (Wn6 / LN6) / (WN5 / LN5) ⑷ Among them, Ww and LW respectively indicate that the leg of the transistor is effective Channel width and effective channel length, and WN0 and LN6 represent the effective channel width and effective current Id (MNl) (0) of the 0S transistor Li 6 on the face. Then, when the input voltage V (IN) is greater than the voltage y on the capacitor (c) is greater than Id (MN2), and

Id (MN1) + Id (MN2) = IBId (MN1) + Id (MN2) = IB

Id (MNl) = -Id (MP1) 由於PMOS電晶體MP1及MP2係構成一電流鏡,因此 -Id (MP1) = -Id (MP2) ,故可對電容器C進行充電動作。 當電容器上之電壓V(C)等於輸入電壓v⑽之峰值電壓時 Id (MNl) - Id (MN2) =IB / 2 ,此時仍會對電容器C進行充電動作。 (6) ⑺ 電流 ⑻ 依據差動放大ϋ之電轉換特性曲線得知:電容紅之電顯c (OverShoot Voltagefi#Vos) 能將NMQSf 迫域止賴,侧⑽㉟體麵城止狀態時 電電晶體即停止對電容器c進行充電作用,此時電容器上之電壓v(c)為 V (C) — Vpeak + V〇S 、、 (9) 由於此日守的NM0S電晶體簡2係工作於飽和區,而腦s電晶體腿恰 和區進入截止區,因此,可由下列關係方程式求出VGS2及VGS1 :Id (MNl) = -Id (MP1) Since the PMOS transistors MP1 and MP2 form a current mirror, -Id (MP1) = -Id (MP2), so the capacitor C can be charged. When the voltage V (C) on the capacitor is equal to the peak voltage of the input voltage v⑽, Id (MNl)-Id (MN2) = IB / 2, the capacitor C will still be charged at this time. (6) ⑺ Current⑻ According to the electrical conversion characteristic curve of the differential amplifier 知, we know that the capacitor red electric display c (OverShoot Voltagefi # Vos) can force the NMQSf to the limit, and the transistor is in the state of decent city stop. Stop charging capacitor c. At this time, the voltage v (c) on the capacitor is V (C) — Vpeak + V0S, (9) Since the NMOS transistor transistor 2 that works today is working in the saturation region, The brain s transistor's leg is just in the region of the cut-off region, so VGS2 and VGS1 can be obtained from the following relationship equation:

Id (MN2) = IBId (MN2) = IB

Id (MNl) - 〇 故超量電壓Vos等於 n (10) (11) 其中Id (MNl)-〇 so the excess voltage Vos is equal to n (10) (11) where

Vos- VGS2 - VGS1 = [2 · Ιβ · Ln2/(kp · Wn2)]1/2 (⑵ ,WN2和Lnz分別表示_s電晶麵2之有效通道寬度及有效通道長度 1245905 有關超量電壓Vos之推導可參考Kenneth R. Laker及Willy M.C. Sansen 合著由McGRAW-Hill 出版「Design of analog integrated circuits and systems」一書中之第357至375頁。 之後,當輸入電壓V (IN)由峰值電壓Vpeak往下掉時,因nm〇S電晶體丽1 已進入截止狀態,因此電流 -Id (MP1) = -Id (MP2) = 0 (13) 所以充電電晶體不會再對電容器C進行充電動作,因此電容器上之電壓八〇 仍會固定維持在方程式(9)之電壓。 請再參考第六圖,電容器上之電壓v⑹扣抵一個NM〇s電晶體丽3之問源 極電壓VGS3後,即成為電壓峰值檢知器之輸出電壓ν(〇υτ),亦即 V(OUT) - V(C) - VGS3 (14) 於此,為了易於設計以及能在大輸入電壓^⑽)範圍内,均能精確地檢 測出輸入電壓V(IN)信號之峰值電壓,於是可將輸出級3中之NM0S電晶體丽3 之基底與源極連接在一起,俾藉此以消除該麵%電晶體丽3之基底效應 (body effect),此時方程式(14)可改寫為 V(OUT) = V(C) - Vtn3 - [2 · Ιουτ · lN3/(KP · WN3)]1/2 (15) 其中,WN*LN分別表示該NMOS電晶體丽3之有效通道寬度及有效通道長度, 而Vim則表示該NM0S電晶體MN3之零基底偏壓之臨限電壓。 卜、最後,由方程式(9)、(丨2)、(14)及(15)得知,欲使輸出電壓ν(〇υτ) 等於輸入峰值電壓VPeak,則須 (16)Vos- VGS2-VGS1 = [2 · Ιβ · Ln2 / (kp · Wn2)] 1/2 (⑵, WN2 and Lnz respectively represent the effective channel width and effective channel length of _s transistor 2 and the effective channel length is 1245905. The derivation can refer to pages 357 to 375 in the book "Design of analog integrated circuits and systems" published by McGRAW-Hill, co-authored by Kenneth R. Laker and Willy MC Sansen. Then, when the input voltage V (IN) is changed from the peak voltage When Vpeak goes down, because the nm0S transistor Li1 has entered the cut-off state, the current -Id (MP1) = -Id (MP2) = 0 (13) So the charging transistor will not charge the capacitor C anymore. Therefore, the voltage 80 on the capacitor will still be fixed and maintained at the voltage of equation (9). Please refer to the sixth figure again. After the voltage v⑹ on the capacitor is deducted from the source voltage VGS3 of an NMOS transistor 3, That is the output voltage ν (〇υτ) of the voltage peak detector, that is, V (OUT)-V (C)-VGS3 (14) Here, for ease of design and in the range of large input voltage ^ ⑽), Can accurately detect the peak voltage of the input voltage V (IN) signal, so the output stage 3 can be The base of NM0S transistor Li 3 is connected to the source, so as to eliminate the body effect of the transistor% Li 3 of this surface.
