Description

一种CMOS主从式采样保持电路CMOS master-slave sample-and-hold circuit 技术领域Technical field
本发明属于模拟/混合信号集成电路领域,具体涉及一种CMOS主从式采样保持电路。The invention belongs to the field of analog/mixed signal integrated circuits, and in particular relates to a CMOS master-slave sample-and-hold circuit.
背景技术Background technique
CMOS(Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor,互补金属氧化物半导体)工艺由于极高的集成度和极低的加工价格,普遍用于模拟和混合信号集成电路设计。CMOS采样保持电路广泛应用于模数转换器前端,它能采样模拟信号瞬时值并将其保持一段时间。在这段时间里,模数转换器将处理一个不变的信号,这大大提高了模数转换器的精度和准确性。CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) processes are commonly used in analog and mixed-signal integrated circuit designs due to their high integration and low processing price. CMOS sample-and-hold circuits are widely used in analog-to-digital converter front ends to sample the instantaneous value of an analog signal and hold it for a period of time. During this time, the analog-to-digital converter will process a constant signal, which greatly improves the accuracy and accuracy of the analog-to-digital converter.
图1为现有技术中用于模数转换器前端的CMOS单级采样保持电路,包括一NMOS晶体管Ns,一采样电容Cd,NMOS晶体管Ns用作采样开关,其栅极连接时钟信号CLK,源极连接模拟信号SIN,漏极连接采样电容Cd上极板并输出信号SOUT,采样电容Cd下极板接地。图1中CMOS单级采样保持电路的工作原理如下:1 is a CMOS single-stage sample-and-hold circuit for an analog-to-digital converter front end, comprising an NMOS transistor Ns, a sampling capacitor Cd, an NMOS transistor Ns serving as a sampling switch, and a gate connected to a clock signal CLK, a source The pole is connected to the analog signal SIN, the drain is connected to the upper plate of the sampling capacitor Cd and the signal SOUT is output, and the lower plate of the sampling capacitor Cd is grounded. The working principle of the CMOS single-stage sample-and-hold circuit in Figure 1 is as follows:
请参考图2,当时钟信号CLK为高电平时,NMOS晶体管Ns开启,连接采样电容Cd的上极板SOUT到模拟信号SIN,采样电容Cd的上极板SOUT跟随模拟信号SIN。当时钟信号CLK为低电平时,NMOS晶体管Ns截止,断开采样电容Cd的上极板SOUT与模拟信号SIN间的电连接。由于采样电容Cd具有电荷保持能力,采样电容Cd的上极板将采样并保持时钟下降沿处的模拟信号瞬时值。Referring to FIG. 2, when the clock signal CLK is at a high level, the NMOS transistor Ns is turned on, and the upper plate SOUT of the sampling capacitor Cd is connected to the analog signal SIN, and the upper plate SOUT of the sampling capacitor Cd follows the analog signal SIN. When the clock signal CLK is at a low level, the NMOS transistor Ns is turned off, and the electrical connection between the upper plate SOUT of the sampling capacitor Cd and the analog signal SIN is turned off. Since the sampling capacitor Cd has charge retention capability, the upper plate of the sampling capacitor Cd will sample and maintain the instantaneous value of the analog signal at the falling edge of the clock.

在本发明中,所述主采样保持电路2和从采样保持电路4在时钟 信号驱动下周期性工作,每个工作周期分跟踪相和采样相两部分。在跟踪相,主采样保持电路2和从采样保持电路4的输出跟随其输入信号;在保持相,主采样保持电路2和从采样保持电路4的输出信号保持不变。当第一内部时钟信号CKI1为高电平时,主采样保持电路2处于跟踪相,当第一内部时钟信号CKI1为低电平时,主采样保持电路2处于保持相;当第二内部时钟信号CKI2为高电平时,从采样保持电路4处于跟踪相,当第二内部时钟信号CKI2为低电平时,从采样保持电路4处于保持相。由于第一内部时钟信号CKI1和第二内部时钟信号CKI2为一对非交叠的时钟信号,因而主跟踪保持电路2和从跟踪保持电路4不会同时处于跟踪相。In the present invention, the main sample-and-hold circuit 2 and the slave sample-and-hold circuit 4 are clocked The signal is driven periodically, and each working cycle is divided into two parts: the phase and the sampling phase. In the tracking phase, the output of the main sample-and-hold circuit 2 and the slave sample-and-hold circuit 4 follows its input signal; in the sustain phase, the output signals of the main sample-and-hold circuit 2 and the slave sample-and-hold circuit 4 remain unchanged. When the first internal clock signal CKI1 is at a high level, the main sample and hold circuit 2 is in a tracking phase, when the first internal clock signal CKI1 is at a low level, the main sample and hold circuit 2 is in a hold phase; when the second internal clock signal CKI2 is When the level is high, the slave sample-and-hold circuit 4 is in the tracking phase, and when the second internal clock signal CKI2 is at the low level, the slave sample-and-hold circuit 4 is in the hold phase. Since the first internal clock signal CKI1 and the second internal clock signal CKI2 are a pair of non-overlapping clock signals, the main track hold circuit 2 and the slave track hold circuit 4 are not simultaneously in the tracking phase.

At a certain time t, the rising edge of the first internal clock signal CKI1 comes, which transitions from a low level to a high level, the main sample and hold circuit 2 enters the tracking phase, and the output of the first sampling signal SS1 follows the analog of the external input. The signal Ain; after a pulse time τp, the falling edge of the first internal clock signal CKI1 comes, and it jumps from a high level to a low level, and the main sample and hold circuit 2 samples and maintains the external input analog signal Ain at that moment, After that, the main sample-and-hold circuit 2 enters the hold phase, and the output of the first sample signal SS1 signal remains unchanged; after a clock non-overlap time, the rising edge of the second internal clock signal CKI2 arrives, and it jumps from a low level to The high level enters the tracking phase from the sample and hold circuit 4, and the second sampling signal SS2 of the output follows the first sampling signal SS1; after a pulse time τp, the falling edge of the second internal clock signal CKI2 comes, and the high level is from the high level. Jumping to a low level, the sampled and held circuit 4 samples and holds the first sampled signal SS1 at that moment and enters the hold phase, and the output of the second sampled signal SS2 remains unchanged. Thereafter, under the driving of the first internal clock signal CKI1 and the second internal clock signal CKI2, the main sample-and-hold circuit 2 and the sample-and-hold circuit 4 are superimposed to sample the signal and maintain. And as can be seen from FIG. 4, the second sampling signal SS2 output from the sample and hold circuit 4 remains unchanged throughout the entire clock cycle.

The working principle of the bootstrap switch is as follows:
当时钟信号CKI为低电平时,第二反相器T2输出低电平,第三NMOS晶体管N3开启,主开关晶体管N0的栅极被拉低,主开关晶体管N0截止,断开其源极与栅极间的电学连接。由于图6中采样电容Cs的信号保持功能,位于主开关晶体管N0漏极的信号SS将被采样并保持;同时,第六NMOS晶体管N6的栅极电位被拉低,第六NMOS晶体管N6截止,断开电容器Ca下极板与输入信号VIN的电学连接;同时,第三PMOS晶体管P3的栅极电位被拉低,第三PMOS晶体管P3开启,把电容器Ca的上极板连接到电源VCC。第七NMOS晶体管N7的栅极被拉低,第七NMOS晶体管N7截止,部分断开(因为电容器Ca的下极板与第一PMOS晶体管P1的栅极通过N7和N5连接,N7截止只是部分断开,只有当N5也截止时才完全断开)第一PMOS晶体管P1的栅极与电容器Ca下极板间的电学连接。同时,第三反相器T3输出为低电平,第五NMOS晶体管N5的栅极为低电平,第五NMOS晶体管N5截止,进一步完全断开第一PMOS晶体管P1的栅极与电容器Ca下极板间的电学连接。同时,第二PMOS晶体管P2的栅极为低电平,第二PMOS晶体管P2开启,把第一PMOS晶体管P1的栅极连接到电源VCC,第一PMOS晶体管截止,断开电容器Ca上极板与主开关晶体管N0栅极间的电学连接。同时,第四反相器T4的输出为高电平,第四NMOS晶体管N4栅极为高电平,第四NMOS晶体管N4开启,把电容器Ca的下极板连接到地gnd。由此可见,电容器Ca的上极板通过第三PMOS晶体管P3连接到电源VCC,下极板通过第四NMOS晶体管N4连接到地,电源VCC对 电容器Ca充电直至电容器两端的电压差达到电源电压VCC。When the clock signal CKI is low, the second inverter T2 outputs a low level, the third NMOS transistor N3 is turned on, the gate of the main switching transistor N0 is pulled low, the main switching transistor N0 is turned off, and the source thereof is turned off. Electrical connection between the gates. Due to the signal holding function of the sampling capacitor Cs in FIG. 6, the signal SS at the drain of the main switching transistor N0 is sampled and held; meanwhile, the gate potential of the sixth NMOS transistor N6 is pulled low, and the sixth NMOS transistor N6 is turned off. The electrical connection between the lower plate of the capacitor Ca and the input signal VIN is disconnected; at the same time, the gate potential of the third PMOS transistor P3 is pulled low, the third PMOS transistor P3 is turned on, and the upper plate of the capacitor Ca is connected to the power supply VCC. The gate of the seventh NMOS transistor N7 is pulled low, and the seventh NMOS transistor N7 is turned off and partially turned off (because the lower plate of the capacitor Ca is connected to the gate of the first PMOS transistor P1 through N7 and N5, the N7 cutoff is only partially broken. On, the electrical connection between the gate of the first PMOS transistor P1 and the lower plate of the capacitor Ca is only completely disconnected when N5 is also turned off. At the same time, the third inverter T3 outputs a low level, the gate of the fifth NMOS transistor N5 is at a low level, and the fifth NMOS transistor N5 is turned off, further completely turning off the gate of the first PMOS transistor P1 and the lower pole of the capacitor Ca. Electrical connection between boards. At the same time, the gate of the second PMOS transistor P2 is at a low level, the second PMOS transistor P2 is turned on, the gate of the first PMOS transistor P1 is connected to the power source VCC, the first PMOS transistor is turned off, and the upper plate and the main electrode of the capacitor Ca are disconnected.

It can be seen that the upper plate of the capacitor Ca is connected to the power source VCC through the third PMOS transistor P3, and the lower plate is connected to the ground through the fourth NMOS transistor N4, and the power source VCC pair The capacitor Ca is charged until the voltage difference across the capacitor reaches the supply voltage VCC.
当时钟信号CKI为高电平时,第二反相器T2的输出为高电平,第三NMOS晶体管N3截止,断开其源极与漏极间的电学连接。第三反相器T3输出为高电平,第二PMOS晶体管P2截止,断开第一PMOS晶体管P1栅极与电源VCC的电学连接。同时,第五NMOS晶体管N5开启,把第一PMOS晶体管P1的栅极连接到电容器Ca的下极板。这样,电容器Ca上、下极板间的电压差VCC被加到第一PMOS晶体管P1的源、栅极间,第一PMOS晶体管P1开启,从而把电容器Ca的上极板连接到主开关晶体管N0的栅极。这样,电容器Ca上、下极板间的压差VCC被加到了第七NMOS晶体管N7的栅、源极间,第七NMOS晶体管N7开启,这样第一PMOS晶体管P1的栅极进一步被充分地连接到电容器Ca的下极板。同时,第四反相器T4的输出为低电平,第四NMOS晶体管N4截止,断开了电容器Ca下极板与地gnd的电学连接。同时,电容器Ca上、下极板的压差VCC被加到了第六NMOS晶体管的栅、源极之间,第六NMOS晶体管开启,从而把电容器Ca的下极板连接到主开关晶体管N0的源极。这时,电容器Ca上、下极板间的压差VCC被加到主开关晶体管N0的栅、源极间,主开关晶体管N0开启,从而连接输入信号VIN与输出信号SS。由于电容器Ca的信号保持功能,在输入信号VIN变化时,主开关晶体管N0的栅极与源极间始终保持VCC的压差。When the clock signal CKI is at a high level, the output of the second inverter T2 is at a high level, and the third NMOS transistor N3 is turned off, turning off the electrical connection between the source and the drain. The third inverter T3 outputs a high level, the second PMOS transistor P2 is turned off, and the electrical connection between the gate of the first PMOS transistor P1 and the power source VCC is turned off. At the same time, the fifth NMOS transistor N5 is turned on to connect the gate of the first PMOS transistor P1 to the lower plate of the capacitor Ca. Thus, the voltage difference VCC between the upper and lower plates of the capacitor Ca is applied between the source and the gate of the first PMOS transistor P1, and the first PMOS transistor P1 is turned on, thereby connecting the upper plate of the capacitor Ca to the main switching transistor N0. The gate. Thus, the voltage difference VCC between the upper and lower plates of the capacitor Ca is applied between the gate and the source of the seventh NMOS transistor N7, and the seventh NMOS transistor N7 is turned on, so that the gate of the first PMOS transistor P1 is further sufficiently connected. Go to the lower plate of capacitor Ca. At the same time, the output of the fourth inverter T4 is at a low level, and the fourth NMOS transistor N4 is turned off, and the electrical connection between the lower plate of the capacitor Ca and the ground gnd is broken. At the same time, the voltage difference VCC of the upper and lower plates of the capacitor Ca is applied between the gate and the source of the sixth NMOS transistor, and the sixth NMOS transistor is turned on, thereby connecting the lower plate of the capacitor Ca to the source of the main switching transistor N0. pole. At this time, the voltage difference VCC between the upper and lower plates of the capacitor Ca is applied between the gate and the source of the main switching transistor N0, and the main switching transistor N0 is turned on, thereby connecting the input signal VIN and the output signal SS. Due to the signal holding function of the capacitor Ca, when the input signal VIN changes, the voltage difference of VCC is always maintained between the gate and the source of the main switching transistor N0.

由(3)式可知,主开关管晶体管N0的导通电阻不随输入信号VIN变化,这提高了主从式采样保持电路的线型性;具体由图7可知,主开关晶体管N0的源极电位Vs其实是输入信号VIN,而(3)式中消去了Vs,也就是说导通电阻Ron与输入信号VIN无关。所以,本发明采样开关SW采用专门设计的自举开关,极大地提高了采样开关SW的线型性。It can be seen from equation (3) that the on-resistance of the main switching transistor N0 does not change with the input signal VIN, which improves the linearity of the master-slave sampling and holding circuit; as specifically shown in FIG. 7, the source potential of the main switching transistor N0 V s is actually the input signal VIN, and V s is eliminated in (3), that is, the on-resistance R on is independent of the input signal VIN. Therefore, the sampling switch SW of the present invention adopts a specially designed bootstrap switch, which greatly improves the linearity of the sampling switch SW.

且所述第一电阻器R1和第二电阻器R2的阻值相等,把(5)式代入(4)式,得到Gain=1,即所述级间缓冲放大器3的级间增益为1,因而它不会对第一采样信号SS1放大,缓冲后的第一采样信号BSS1只相对于第一采样信号SS1作信号平移,因此所述级间缓冲放大器3具有极好的线型性。And the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 with resistance, the (5) into (4), to give G ain = 1, i.e., inter-stage buffer amplifier 3 interstage gain of 1 Therefore, it does not amplify the first sampling signal SS1, and the buffered first sampling signal BSS1 only performs signal translation with respect to the first sampling signal SS1, so the interstage buffer amplifier 3 has excellent linearity.

The first internal clock signal CKI1, the output of the seventh inverter T7 outputs a second internal clock signal CKI2. In the following description of the principle, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that all digital gate delays are equal to τ gate . Specifically, the working principle of the clock circuit 5 is as follows:
请参考图10,假设在初始时刻,外部时钟信号CK为低电平(即地),此时数字缓冲器B1的输出为低电平,第二与非门NAND2的输出为高电平;同时,第五反相器T5的输出为高电平,第一与非门NAND1的输出为低电平。当外部时钟信号CK的上升沿到来时,外部时钟信号CK从低电平变为高电平(即电源电压VCC),经过一个门延迟时间τgate后第五反相器T5的输出从高电平变为低电平,再经过一个门延迟时间τgate后,第一与非门NAND1的输出从低电平变 为高电平,再经过一个门延迟时间,第二与非门NAND2的输出从高电平变为低电平。再经过半个时钟周期,外部时钟信号CK的下降沿到来,外部时钟信号CK从高电平变为低电平,经过一个门延迟后,数字缓冲器B1的输出从高电平变为低电平,再经过一个门延迟后,第二与非门NAND2的输出从低电平变为高电平,再经过一个门延迟,第一与非门NAND1的输出从高电平变为低电变。由此可见,每当外部时钟信号CK的上升沿到来时,引起第一与非门NAND1的输出从低电平变为高电平,再经过一个门延迟后,引起第二与非门NAND2的输出从高电平变为低电平;每当外部时钟信号CK的下降沿到来时,引起第二与非门NAND2的输出从低电平变为高电平,再经过一个门延迟后,引起第一与非门NAND1的输出从高电平变为低电平。也就是说,第一与非门NAND1的输出与第二与非门NAND2的输出有一个门延迟时间的脉冲交叠时间;当经过第六反相器T6和第七反相器T7反相后,得到的第一内部时钟信号CKI1与第二内部时钟信号CKI2为非交叠时钟,非交叠时间为一个门延迟时间。Referring to FIG. 10, it is assumed that at the initial moment, the external clock signal CK is at a low level (ie, ground), at which time the output of the digital buffer B1 is at a low level, and the output of the second NAND gate NAND2 is at a high level; The output of the fifth inverter T5 is at a high level, and the output of the first NAND gate NAND1 is at a low level. When the rising edge of the external clock signal CK comes, the external clock signal CK changes from a low level to a high level (ie, the power supply voltage VCC), and the output of the fifth inverter T5 goes from a high voltage after a gate delay time τ gate After going to a low level, after a gate delay time τ gate , the output of the first NAND gate NAND1 changes from a low level to a high level, and then a gate delay time, the output of the second NAND gate NAND2 Go from high to low. After half a clock cycle, the falling edge of the external clock signal CK comes, and the external clock signal CK changes from a high level to a low level. After a gate delay, the output of the digital buffer B1 changes from a high level to a low level. After a gate delay, the output of the second NAND gate NAND2 changes from a low level to a high level, and after a gate delay, the output of the first NAND gate NAND1 changes from a high level to a low level. . It can be seen that whenever the rising edge of the external clock signal CK comes, the output of the first NAND gate NAND1 is changed from a low level to a high level, and after a gate delay, the second NAND gate NAND2 is caused. The output changes from a high level to a low level; whenever the falling edge of the external clock signal CK comes, the output of the second NAND gate NAND2 is changed from a low level to a high level, and after a gate delay, The output of the first NAND gate NAND1 changes from a high level to a low level. That is, the output of the first NAND gate NAND1 and the output of the second NAND gate NAND2 have a pulse overlap time of a gate delay time; when the sixth inverter T6 and the seventh inverter T7 are inverted The obtained first internal clock signal CKI1 and the second internal clock signal CKI2 are non-overlapping clocks, and the non-overlap time is one gate delay time.
