Technical field
The present invention relates to digital signal processing technique field, relate in particular to a kind of multiplication D/A conversion circuit (Multiplying Digital to Analog Circuit, MDAC), and use the low-power consumption of this MDAC circuit production line analog-digital converter (Analog to Digital Circuit, ADC).
Background technology
At present, along with the extensive use of Digital Signal Processing in the communications field, high speed modem, broadband cabled and wireless telecommunication system is increasing to the demand of medium accuracy, high-speed AD converter.In the ADC of various structures, pipeline ADC is widely adopted in distinctive compromise advantage aspect speed, power consumption and the area with it.
As shown in Figure 1, Fig. 1 is the structural representation of traditional pipeline ADC.It by front-end sampling holding circuit, several sub levels (STAGE1, STAGE2 ..., STAGE k-1, FLASH), time-delay SYN register array and digital correction module form.In Fig. 1, except that the low level flash type ADC (being FLASH) of front end S/H circuit and afterbody, all the other are at different levels (STAGE 1, STAGE2 ..., STAGE k-1) all comprise S/H circuit, subnumber weighted-voltage D/A converter (SubDAC), sub-adc converter (SubADC), subtracter and surplus poor amplifier.As shown in Figure 2, Fig. 2 is the structural representation of each sub level in the traditional pipeline ADC structure.
In Fig. 2, ph1 and ph2 are the two-phase clocks that do not overlap, and odd level is controlled sampling with ph1, and even level and front end S/H circuit are controlled sampling with ph2, and promptly the control clock of adjacent two-stage is opposite mutually.Generally the S/H circuit in the sub level shown in Figure 2, subnumber weighted-voltage D/A converter, subtracter and surplus poor amplifier are combined into MDAC.
Pipeline ADC is under two-phase does not overlap clock control, make front end S/H circuit in the pipeline ADC and each streamline sub level sampling mutually and between amplifying mutually alternation finish conversion.Input signal is at first sampled by front end S/H circuit, and in the maintenance stage, the signal that is kept is handled by the sub-adc converter among the STAGE1, produces B
1+ r
1Digit numeric code, the subnumber weighted-voltage D/A converter of sending among the STAGE1 when this digital code is admitted to time-delay SYN register array is converted to analog signal again, and in subtracter, subtract each other with original input signal, the result who subtracts each other is called as surplus poor, and this surplus difference signal multiply by 2 in surplus poor amplifier
R1, being admitted to STAGE2 again and handling, this process repeats up to STAGE k-1 level, and afterbody only carries out analog-to-digital conversion, produces B
kDigit numeric code is sent into time-delay SYN register array, does not carry out surplus difference and amplifies.The digital codes that produce at different levels are exported final digital code then through time-delay SYN register arrays alignings of delaying time after digital correction module is carried out correction process.
High-speed high-precision flow line ADC needs the surplus poor amplifier of high-speed, high precision, this has proposed higher requirement to the amplifier of carrying out surplus difference amplification, and it is high more to the precision and the rate request of amplifier, the power consumption of amplifier is big more, therefore under the certain condition of amplifier power consumption, the number that reduces operational amplifier is very effective for the power consumption that reduces whole ADC.
Fig. 3 is the structural representation that traditional 1.5 bits/level amplifier is shared the MDAC circuit, comprises first order MDAC and second level MDAC.Fig. 4 is the clock scheme that traditional 1.5 bits/level amplifier is shared the MDAC circuit, and ph1 and ph2 are the two-phase clock that do not overlap, and the high level time of ph1 and ph2 is equal substantially, and clock signal ph1e and ph2e represent to shift to an earlier date a little than ph1 and ph2 trailing edge respectively.
In Fig. 3, Cs1 and Cs2 are the sampling capacitance of first order MDAC, and Cf1 and Cf2 are the feedback capacity of first order MDAC; Cs3 and Cs3 are the sampling capacitance of second level MDAC, and Cf3 and Cf4 are the feedback capacity of second level MDAC.In the ph1 phase, first order MDAC samples, and the top crown of Cs1, Cf1 connects common mode, and the sole plate meets input signal in1, and the top crown of Cs2, Cf2 connects common mode, and the sole plate meets input signal in2; Simultaneously, second level MDAC is carrying out surplus difference amplification, and the top crown of Cs3 and Cs4 connects the amplifier differential input end, and the sole plate connects the output of second level subnumber weighted-voltage D/A converter (DAC), the top crown of Cf3 and Cf4 connects the amplifier differential input end, and the sole plate meets difference output out1 and out2.In the ph2 phase, first order MDAC carries out surplus difference and amplifies, and the top crown of Cs1, Cf1 connects the amplifier differential input end, and the sole plate connects the output of first order subnumber weighted-voltage D/A converter (DAC), and Cs2, Cf2 connect the amplifier differential input end, and the sole plate meets difference output out1 and out2; Simultaneously, second level MDAC samples, and the top crown of Cs3 and Cf3 connects common mode, and the sole plate meets the output out1 of first order MDAC, and the top crown of Cs4 and Cf4 connects common mode, and the sole plate meets the output out2 of first order MDAC.
Can see that first order MDAC carries out surplus the difference when amplifying, the sampling capacitance of second level MDAC and feedback capacity are the loads of first order MDAC, and in like manner, the sampling capacitance of third level MDAC and feedback capacity are the loads of second level MDAC.Because the difference of required precision, electric capacity can successively decrease step by step.The sampling capacitance of second level MDAC and feedback capacity are littler than the sampling capacitance and the feedback capacity of the first order, and the load of second level MDAC is also little than the load of first order MDAC.In the amplifier common circuit, the same amplifier of two-stage MDAC circuit, because feedback capacity and the load capacitance of first order MDAC are bigger, so shared amplifier must satisfy the foundation of first order MDAC, like this, when second level MDAC sets up, the nargin that amplifier is set up is bigger, and the second level is lower than the first order to the requirement of setting up precision, adopts clock scheme shown in Figure 4, because the two-phase time is equal substantially, so have certain waste in the partial phase power consumption of setting up.
