For example, the feedback circuit in the MIC 1000 provides high DC loop gain and low AC loop gain. The MIC 1000 provides DC bias and AC coupling in a single integrated circuit die without the need for external components. In an embodiment, the circuit that provides the DC bias is independent of the feedback circuit. In addition, the MIC 1000 has the advantage of providing a smaller device area than the MIC 900. As discussed above, in the integrator stage of the VflC 900, the resistor 921 is often a large resistance (e.g., 1 〇〇 Ω to 500 Ω), which requires a large device area. In the MIC 1000, this resistor is provided by a switched capacitor network 1020, which can be implemented using a smaller device area than a large resistor. In addition, since this is a sampling system, the feedback capacitor at the gain stage will provide anti-mineral filtering and the large integrator capacitance will provide smoothing. The switched capacitor network is controlled by the clock signal on the wafer and Φ2. The squelch function can also be implemented by changing the clock frequency. As also shown in FIG. 10, the MIC 1000 includes a M〇s mezzanine capacitor 1030 instead of the feedback capacitor 93 in the MIC 9〇〇 of FIG. 9. The feedback valley 931 is usually large, for example, 1〇〇pF-300. pF. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the MOS interlayer capacitor used in the MIC 1000 provides the desired capacitance, but requires a smaller device area. Figure 11 is a simplified schematic diagram of an integrated circuit for a programmable microphone interface in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the MIC 1100 is an integrated circuit for providing a programmable microphone interface. The MIC 1100 includes an input terminal 1102 for receiving an input signal Vin and an output terminal 1104q MIC 1100 for providing an output audio signal Vout. The bias circuit is also coupled to the input terminal 36 1353111 96U003 26630twf.doc/n 1102. As shown, the bias circuit includes a microphone reference circuit 1108 and a resistor 1125. In the embodiment, 11〇8 is a programmable circuit and a reference circuit. Depending on the embodiment, the microphone reference circuit 11A8 can provide a reference voltage or a reference current. The MIC 1100 includes a first amplifier circuit lu'/, and the first amplifier circuit 1113 includes a first input terminal 11〇6, a second input terminal 1107, and an output terminal coupled to the output terminal 11〇4. The MIC 11 further includes a first feedback circuit 1161, and a feedback circuit 1161 includes a resistor 1122 and a capacitor 11% connected in parallel. The first feedback circuit is coupled to the output end of the amplifier 1113 and the first input end. The MIC 1100 also includes a second feedback circuit 1162 that includes an integrator circuit 11u and a resistor 1124. The second feedback circuit 1162 provides a feedback signal at node 1163. In an embodiment, resistor 1122 and resistor 1125 are programmable resistors. As shown, the integrator circuit 1111 includes an amplifier 1115, a switched capacitor circuit 1120', and a MOS interlayer capacitor 1130. The structure and function of the integrator circuit mi is generally similar to the structure and function of the integrator in Fig. 8 and the integral benefit 815 in Fig. 8. Switched capacitor circuit 112() and MOS interlayer valley 1130 provide the desired resistance and capacitance and consume relatively small device area. The feedback circuit in the MIC 1100 provides high DC loop gain and low AC loop boost. More specifically, the characteristics of the MIC 1100 are represented by a large DC return gain and a low AC loop gain, thereby causing the DC output voltage at the output terminal to be substantially equal to the second reference voltage, and the AC output voltage is coupled to the first feedback circuit. The impedance and the Ac input current or voltage through the wheeled terminals are linearly proportional. According to an embodiment of the invention, no external components are required 37 1353111 96U003 26630twf.doc/n
的情況下,MIC 1100能夠在單一積體電路晶片中提供DC 偏壓與AC耦合。在實施例中,提供Dc偏壓之電路獨立 於反饋電路。 以上僅以實例說明之,本發明已被應用至用於駐極體 麥克風(electret microphone)之介面電路。但應體認到, 本發明具有範圍更加廣泛之適用性。舉例而言,可將本笋 明應用至其他種類之麥克風之介面電路或其他信號源之^ 面電路。 儘管麥克風介面電路之組件的選定群組已於上文中闡 述,但可存在許多替代、修改以及變化。舉例而言,可擴 展及/或組合一些組件。可將其它組件***至上文提及之組 件。視實施例而定,組件之配置可與代替之其他配置進行 交換。此等組件之其它細節可在本說明書全文中發現。 亦應理解,本文所描述之實例以及實施例僅為達成說 明之目的,且將向熟習此項技術者提議根據所述實例以及 實施例之各種修改或改變,且所述各種修改或改變將包括 在此s兒明書的精神以及範圍以及所附申請專利範圍之範疇 内。 【圖式簡單說明】 圖1為習知麥克風CODEC介面電路之示意圖。 圖2a為根據本發明之實施例之積體麥克風介面電路 的簡化示意圖。 圖2b為根據本發明之實施例之積體麥克風介面電路 的增益轉換函數之簡化圖。 38 1353111 96U003 2663〇twf.doc/n 圖3為根據本發明之另一會於^ 路的簡化示意圖。 力私例L克風介面電 圖4為根據本發明之替代性 介面電路㈣化示意圖。 Μ之龍差動麥克風 圖5為根據本發明之又一眚a 7 , 路的簡化示意圖。 ’之積體麥克風介面電 圖6為根據本發明之另一替代性奋 介面電路的簡化示4圖。 s ®•例之積體麥克風 圖7為根據本發明之又一實施 路的簡化示意圖。 艾積體麥克風介面電 圖8為根據本發明之另一替代 介面電路的簡化示意圖。 1施例之積體麥克風 圖9為根據本發明之又一實施 路的簡化示S®。 k㈣錢風介面電 圖10為根據本發明之另一替代性每 風介面電路的簡㈣意圖。 a例之積體麥克 圖11為根據本發明之實施例之用於 面電路的積«路之簡“賴。τ料麥克風介 【主要元件符號說明】 100 : 麥克風介面電路 102 : 駐極體麥克風 112 : 電阻 114 : 電阻 122 : 電容 39 1353111 96U003 26630twf.doc/n 132 :電阻 134 :電阻 136 :電阻 138 :電阻 142 :電容 144 :電容 146 :電容 φ 148 :電容 150 : CODEC積體電路 200 :積體麥克風介面電路 202 :輸入節點 204 :輸出節點 206 :輸入端 207 :輸入端 208 :麥克風參考電壓源 211 :積分器電路 • 213 :放大器 215 :放大器 217 :放大器 221 :電阻 222 :電阻 *' 223 :電阻 • 224 :電阻 225 :電阻 1353111 96U003 26630twf.doc/n 231 :電容 232 :電容 261 :反饋路徑 262 :反饋路徑 ' 300:麥克風介面電路 311 :積分器電路 315 :放大器 I 320:開關式電容電路 330 : MOS夾層電容 335 :電容 400 :積體麥克風介面電路 401 :輸入節點 402 :輸入節點 403 :輸出節點 404 :輸出節點 407 :麥克風參考電壓源 • 411 :差動反饋電路 413 :放大器 415 :放大器 421 :電阻 422 :電阻 • 423 :電阻 • 424 :電阻 425 :電阻 41 1353111 96U003 26630twf.doc/n 431 :電容 432 :電容 441 :輸入端 442 :輸入端 451 :電阻 452 :電阻 453 ·•電阻 454 :電阻 455 :電阻 457 :接地電壓 461 :反饋路徑、電容 462 :反饋路徑、電容 463 :反饋路徑 464 :反饋路徑 500 :積體麥克風介面電路 502 :節點 504 :輸出節點 507 :麥克風參考電壓源 511 :積分器電路 513 :放大器 515 :放大器 517 :放大器 521 :電阻 522 :電阻 42 1353111 96U003 26630twf.doc/n 524 :電阻 531 :電容 532 :電容 541 :輸入端 542 :輸入端 561 :反饋路徑 562 :反饋路徑 600 :麥克風介面電路 611 :積分器電路 620 :開關式電容網路 630 : MOS夾層電容 635 :電容 700 ··積體麥克風介面電路 702 :輸入端子 704 :輸出節點 706 :輸入端 707 :第二輸入端 708 :麥克風參考電路 711 :積分器電路 713 :放大器 715 :放大器 721 :電阻 722 :電阻 725 :電阻 43 1353111 96U003 26630twf.doc/n 731 :電容 732 :電容 761 :反饋路徑 762 :反饋電路 800 :麥克風介面電路 811 :積分器電路 815 :放大器 820 :開關式電容電路 830 : MOS夾層電容 835 :電容 900 :積體麥克風介面電路 902 :輸入端子 904 :輸出節點 906 :第二輸入端 907 :輸入端 908 :麥克風參考電路 911 :積分器電路 913 :放大器 915 :放大器 917 :放大器電路 921 :電阻 922 :電阻 924 :電阻 925 :電阻 44 1353111 96U003 26630twf.doc/n 931 :電容 932 :電容 961 :反饋路徑 962 :反饋路徑 1000 :麥克風介面電路 1011 :積分器電路 1015 :放大器 1020 :開關式電容電路 1030 : MOS夾層電容 1035 :電容 1100 :麥克風介面電路 1102 :輸入端子 1104 :輸出端子 1106 :第一輸入端 1107 ··第二輸入端 1108 :麥克風參考電路 1111 :積分器電路 1113 :放大器電路 1115 :放大器 1120 :開關式電容電路 1122 :電阻 1124 :電阻 1125 :電阻 1130 : MOS夾層電容 45 1353111 96U003 26630twf.doc/n 1132 :電容 1135 :第二電容 1141 :開關裝置 1142 :開關裝置 1161 :第一反饋電路 1162 :第二反饋電路 1163 :節點 Si : 開關 s2 : 開關 s3: 開關 s4: 開關In this case, the MIC 1100 is capable of providing DC bias and AC coupling in a single integrated circuit die.
