The invention is capable of other and different embodiments and its several details are capable of modifications and various changes in detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. It should be noted that the drawings of the present invention are only for a simple schematic description and are not drawn to actual dimensions. The following examples further illustrate the related art of the present invention in detail, but the disclosure is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, the term "or" as used herein should be taken to include any one or combination of more of the associated listed items as the case may be.
Fig. 1 is a functional block diagram of a signal detection circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the invention provides a signal detection circuit 1, which includes an input switch circuit 10, an amplitude detection circuit 12, a clock generation circuit 14, and an integration circuit 16.
The input switch circuit 10 is configured to receive a reference voltage VREF and an input voltage VIN, and is controlled by a switching signal set SS to selectively output the reference voltage VREF or the input voltage VIN.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a circuit layout diagram of a signal detection circuit according to an embodiment of the invention. For example, the reference voltage VREF is a pair of differential reference voltages including a first reference voltage VREFP and a second reference voltage VREFN, and the input voltage VIN is a pair of differential input voltages including a first input voltage VINP and a second input voltage VINN.
In the embodiment of fig. 2, in response to the input voltage VIN being a differential signal, the input switch circuit 10 may be, for example, a multiplexer, which may include, for simplification, a first switch S1, a second switch S2, a third switch S3 and a fourth switch S4 as shown in fig. 2, and has a first output o1 and a second output o2. The first switch S1, the second switch S2, the third switch S3 and the fourth switch S4 may be N-type or P-type Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs), respectively, but the invention is not limited thereto.
The first switch S1 is connected to the first output terminal o1 and receives the first reference voltage VREFP, the second switch S2 is connected to the first output terminal o1 and receives the first input voltage VINP, the third switch S3 is connected to the second output terminal o2 and receives the second input voltage VINN, and the fourth switch S4 is connected to the second input terminal o2 and receives the second reference voltage VREFN.
Referring to fig. 1 again, the amplitude detection circuit 12 is used for detecting the output of the input switch circuit 10 to correspondingly generate the amplitude voltage VA. For example, the amplitude detection circuit 12 can be the rectifier 120 of fig. 2, or any circuit capable of converting the input signal into a high voltage or a low voltage according to the magnitude of the input signal, but the invention is not limited thereto.
As shown in fig. 2, the rectifier 120 may have a first detection output do1 and a second detection output do2, and is configured to generate an amplitude voltage Va including a first amplitude voltage Va1 and a second amplitude voltage Va2 at the first detection output do1 and the second detection output do2 corresponding to the outputs of the first output o1 and the second output o2.
On the other hand, the clock generation circuit 14 is used to generate the switching signal group SS (as shown in fig. 1). The switching signal group SS is mainly used to control the input switch circuit 10 to alternately enter the first stage and the second stage. In detail, the input switch circuit 10 is controlled to output the reference voltage VREF in the first phase and output the input voltage VIN in the second phase.
In addition, when the above-mentioned switching manner is applied to the embodiment of fig. 2, the switching signal set SS may include a first switching signal Φ 1 and a second switching signal Φ 2, and the first switching signal Φ 1 is used for controlling the first switch S1 and the fourth switch S4 to be turned on in the first stage, and the second switching signal Φ 2 is used for controlling the second switch S2 and the third switch S3 to be turned on in the second stage, so that the input switch circuit 10 respectively outputs the first reference voltage VREFP and the second reference voltage VREFN at the first output end o1 and the second output end o2 in the first stage, and respectively outputs the first input voltage VINP and the second input voltage VINN at the first output end o1 and the second output end o2 in the second stage.
Referring to fig. 1 again, the integrating circuit 16 is configured to integrate the amplitude voltage VA as an input and generate an integrating voltage VINT corresponding to the integration result within a predetermined time interval. The predetermined time interval covers a plurality of cycles taking the first stage and the second stage as cycles.
For example, the integrating circuit 16 may perform the subtraction after sampling the amplitude voltage VA in the first stage (generated according to the reference voltage VREF) and the amplitude voltage VA in the second stage (generated according to the input voltage VIN) in a single cycle. Therefore, after a plurality of cycles corresponding to the predetermined time interval, the input voltage VIN can be determined to be higher or lower than the reference voltage VREF according to the accumulated integrated voltage VINT.
In this manner, referring to fig. 2, integrating circuit 16 may include sampling circuit 160 and integrating amplifier 162. The sampling circuit 160 is configured to sample the first amplitude voltage Va1 and the second amplitude voltage Va2 in the first phase.
As shown in fig. 2, the sampling circuit 160 may include a first sampling capacitor C1, a second sampling capacitor C2, a fifth switch S5, a sixth switch S6, a seventh switch S7, and an eighth switch S8. The fifth switch S5, the sixth switch S6, the seventh switch S7 and the eighth switch S8 may be respectively an N-type or a P-type Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET), but the invention is not limited thereto.
The first sampling capacitor C1 is connected between the first detection output terminal do1 and the first node N1, and the second sampling capacitor C2 is connected between the second detection output terminal do2 and the second node N2. One end of the fifth switch S5 is connected to the first node N1, and the other end receives the common mode voltage Vcm. One end of the sixth switch S6 is connected to the second node N2, and the other end receives the common mode voltage Vcm. The seventh switch S7 is connected between the first node N1 and the third node N3, and the eighth switch S8 is connected between the second node N2 and the fourth node N4.
On the other hand, the integrating amplifier 162 holds the first amplitude voltage Va1 and the second amplitude voltage Va2 sampled by the sampling circuit 160 in the second stage to integrate them.
Accordingly, as shown in fig. 2, the integrating amplifier 162 may include a fully differential amplifier FDA, a first feedback capacitor Cfb1 and a second feedback capacitor Cfb2.
The fully differential amplifier FDA has a non-inverting input terminal (left + terminal), an inverting input terminal (left-terminal), an inverting output terminal (right + terminal), and a non-inverting output terminal (right-terminal), wherein the non-inverting input terminal is connected to the third node N3, and the inverting input terminal is connected to the fourth node N4. The first feedback capacitor Cfb1 is connected between the non-inverting input terminal and the inverting output terminal, and the second feedback capacitor Cfb2 is connected between the inverting input terminal and the non-inverting output terminal.
As shown in fig. 2, the fifth switch S5 and the sixth switch S6 are controlled by the first switching signal Φ 1 to be turned on in the first stage and turned off in the second stage, and the seventh switch S7 and the eighth switch S8 are controlled by the second switching signal Φ 2 to be turned on in the second stage and turned off in the first stage. In the embodiment of the present invention, the integrating circuit 16 may be replaced by a low-pass filter or a capacitor, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
The detection mechanism of the signal detection circuit of fig. 2 will be described with reference to fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a first signal timing diagram of the signal detection circuit according to the embodiment of the invention. As shown, a timing chart including a time point t1 to a time point t9 is shown. In the embodiment of fig. 3, the reference voltage VREF is smaller than the input voltage VIN in the interval from the time point t1 to the time point t5, and is larger than the input voltage VIN in the interval from the time point t5 to the time point t 9.
In the following description, the time point t2 is taken as an initial point, and a first stage is entered between the time points t2 and t3, where the first switching signal Φ 1 is at a high potential, the second switching signal Φ 2 is at a low potential, which means that the first switch S1, the fourth switch S4, the fifth switch S5, and the sixth switch S6 are all turned on, the second switch S2, the third switch S3, the seventh switch S7, and the eighth switch S8 are all turned off, and at this time, the reference voltage VREF is input to the rectifier 120, and the amplitude voltage VA at the low potential is generated. For the amplitude voltage VA, the first sampling capacitor C1 samples the difference between the first amplitude voltage VA1 and the common mode voltage Vcm, and the second sampling capacitor C2 samples the difference between the second amplitude voltage VA2 and the common mode voltage Vcm, so that the amplitude voltage VA can be sampled.
Then, during a period from time t3 to time t4, a second phase is entered, where the first switching signal Φ 1 is at a low potential, the second switching signal Φ 2 is at a high potential, which means that the first switch S1, the fourth switch S4, the fifth switch S5, and the sixth switch S6 are all turned off, the second switch S2, the third switch S3, the seventh switch S7, and the eighth switch S8 are all turned on, and at this time, the input voltage VIN is input into the rectifier 120 to generate an amplitude voltage VA at a high potential. The high-level amplitude voltage VA is subtracted from the low-level amplitude voltage VA sampled in the first stage, and the subtracted result is amplified by the fully differential amplifier FDA and then retained in the first feedback capacitor Cfb1 and the second feedback capacitor Cfb2, so as to generate the integrated voltage VINT.
As can be seen from fig. 3, since the reference voltage VREF is smaller than the input voltage VIN in the interval from time t2 to time t5, the integral voltage VINT gradually decreases from time t2 to time t5, and accordingly, after a plurality of cycles that use the first and second phases as cycles, for example, at time t5, the integral voltage VINT can be output as an accumulation result, so as to determine the magnitude relationship between the reference voltage VREF and the input voltage VIN.
On the other hand, since the reference voltage VREF is greater than the input voltage VIN in the interval from time t6 to t9, the integrated voltage VINT gradually increases from time t6 to t9, and the increased integrated voltage VINT may be output as an integration result after a plurality of cycles.
The integrating amplifier 162 of fig. 2 further includes a first reset switch Sr1, a second reset switch Sr2, and a third reset switch Sr3. The first reset switch Sr1 is connected between the non-inverting input terminal and the inverting output terminal of the fully differential amplifier FDA, the second reset switch Sr2 is connected between the inverting input terminal and the non-inverting output terminal of the fully differential amplifier FDA, and the third reset switch Sr3 is connected between the third node N3 and the fourth node N4.
Accordingly, the clock generating circuit 14 also generates a reset signal Rst to control the first reset switch Sr1, the second reset switch Sr2 and the third reset switch Sr3 to be turned on during a reset time interval before and after the predetermined time interval and to be turned off during the predetermined time interval. For example, the reset time interval may be between time points t1 and t2 and t5 and t6 of fig. 3, and the predetermined time interval may be between time points t2 and t5, for example. After the first, second, and third reset switches Sr1, sr2, and Sr3 are turned on, the held integrated voltage VINT is reset to perform the detection again.
Referring to fig. 4, a detection mechanism of the signal detection circuit of fig. 2 will be described in another embodiment. FIG. 4 is a second signal timing diagram of the signal detection circuit according to the embodiment of the invention. As shown, a timing chart including a time point t1 to a time point t9 is shown. In the embodiment of fig. 4, the reference voltage VREF is not changed, and the input voltage is smaller than the reference voltage VREF in the interval from time t1 to t5 and larger than the reference voltage VREF in the interval from time t5 to t 9.
In the following, the time point t2 is taken as a starting point, and the first stage is started between the time points t2 and t3, where the first switching signal Φ 1 is at a high potential, the second switching signal Φ 2 is at a low potential, which means that the first switch S1, the fourth switch S4, the fifth switch S5, and the sixth switch S6 are all turned on, the second switch S2, the third switch S3, the seventh switch S7, and the eighth switch S8 are all turned off, and at this time, the reference voltage VREF is input to the rectifier 120, so as to generate the amplitude voltage VA at a high potential. For the amplitude voltage VA, the first sampling capacitor C1 samples the difference between the first amplitude voltage VA1 and the common mode voltage Vcm, and the second sampling capacitor C2 samples the difference between the second amplitude voltage VA2 and the common mode voltage Vcm, thereby sampling the amplitude voltage VA.
Then, during a period from time t3 to time t4, a second phase is entered, where the first switching signal Φ 1 is at a low potential, the second switching signal Φ 2 is at a high potential, which means that the first switch S1, the fourth switch S4, the fifth switch S5, and the sixth switch S6 are all turned off, the second switch S2, the third switch S3, the seventh switch S7, and the eighth switch S8 are all turned on, and at this time, the input voltage VIN is input into the rectifier 120 to generate an amplitude voltage VA at a low potential. The low-level amplitude voltage VA is subtracted from the high-level amplitude voltage VA sampled in the first stage, and the subtracted result is amplified by the fully differential amplifier FDA and then retained in the first feedback capacitor Cfb1 and the second feedback capacitor Cfb2, so as to generate the integrated voltage VINT.
As can be seen from fig. 4, since the reference voltage VREF is greater than the input voltage VIN in the interval from time t2 to time t5, the integral voltage VINT gradually increases from time t2 to time t5, and accordingly, after a plurality of cycles in which the first phase and the second phase are cyclic, for example, at time t5, the integral voltage VINT can be output as an accumulation result, so as to determine the magnitude relationship between the reference voltage VREF and the input voltage VIN.
Therefore, the above embodiment uses the input switch circuit 10 to select the input voltage VIN and the reference voltage VREF to enter the amplitude detection circuit 12 and the integration circuit 16 at different stages, and since the input voltage VIN and the reference voltage VREF will experience the same circuit offset due to the shared back-end circuit, the error caused by the process bias when different paths are adopted can be reduced.
In some embodiments, the signal detection circuit 1 further optionally includes a comparator circuit 18 configured to receive the integration voltage VINT (i.e., the voltages at the inverted output terminal and the non-inverted output terminal in fig. 2) generated by the integration circuit 16 through a first input terminal and a second input terminal thereof and compare the received integration voltage VINT to generate a comparison result signal Vcomp as an accumulation result. Accordingly, in this embodiment, the clock generating circuit 14 is further configured to generate the comparison clock signal comclk to control the comparator circuit 18 to generate and output the comparison result signal Vcomp at the end of the predetermined time interval (e.g., time points t2 to t5 in fig. 3 and 4).
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a circuit layout diagram of a signal detection circuit according to another embodiment of the invention. In another embodiment, the integrating amplifier 162 further optionally includes a chopper circuit (chopping circuit), such as a first chopper circuit CC1 and a second chopper circuit CC2 respectively connected to the input and output of the fully differential amplifier FDA, which may be designed to be activated at a specific time. The first chopper circuit CC1 has two input terminals connected to the third node N3 and the fourth node N4, respectively, and two output terminals connected to the non-inverting input terminal (left + terminal) and the inverting input terminal (left-terminal), respectively. The second chopper circuit CC2 has two input terminals connected to the inverting output terminal (right-side terminal) and the non-inverting output terminal (right-side + terminal), respectively, and two output terminals connected to the first input terminal and the second input terminal of the comparator circuit 18, respectively.
For example, the first chopper circuit CC1 and the second chopper circuit CC2 may operate together for a predetermined number of cycles, so that the comparator circuit 18 may cancel the offset on the signal transmission path, and optimize the comparison result signal Vcomp.
For example, the offset may be an offset generated by the fully differential amplifier FDA, and the specific number of the plurality of cycles may be 4 cycles. In a first interval of 4 cycles, for example, the first two cycles, the first chopper circuit CC1 and the second chopper circuit CC2 may be configured to enable the comparator circuit 18 to compare the signal at the inverted output terminal (right-side terminal) with the signal at the non-inverted output terminal (right + terminal) according to the first switching signal Φ 1 and the second switching signal Φ 2, and in a second interval of 4 cycles, for example, the second two cycles, the first chopper circuit CC1 and the second chopper circuit CC2 may be configured to enable the comparator circuit 18 to compare the signal at the non-inverted output terminal (right + terminal) with the signal at the inverted output terminal (right-side terminal) according to the first switching signal Φ 1 and the second switching signal Φ 2, so as to achieve the effect of averagely canceling the offset between the two output terminals and optimize the comparison result signal Vcomp.

the signal detection circuit provided by the invention has the beneficial effects that the input switch circuit is used for selecting the input signal and the reference voltage to enter the amplitude detection circuit and the integrating circuit at different stages, and the input signal and the reference voltage experience the same circuit offset due to the sharing of the circuit at the rear end, so that the error caused by process bias when different paths are adopted can be reduced.
On the other hand, the signal detection circuit provided by the invention can selectively comprise a comparator circuit and a chopper circuit so as to realize the effect of averagely offsetting the offset of the two output ends and generate an optimized comparison result signal Vcomp as an accumulation result.
