Description

Technical Field

Background
PI (phase interpolator) is widely used in integrated circuits to enable the output clock signal to have high precision and phase controllability. The input of the conventional phase interpolator generally receives 2 sets of differential clock signals, i.e. 2 sets of signals with phases completely opposite to each other, which are I, I-Q, Q-, respectively, and generates a specific output phase by adjusting the weight values of I, I-Q, Q-. In the existing phase interpolator, the interval step of each clock signal phase is longer, and the increment of the clock phase is larger.
Specifically, the phase interpolation technique utilizes a trigonometric function induction formula to sum two monophonic sine or cosine signals with the same frequency and different phases, so as to obtain a signal with the same frequency and the other phase. The weighted summation can be realized by changing the weighted values (amplitudes A1 and A2) of the two single-tone signals, so that the phase of the output signal is changed for a phase interpolator with P digits, P digital control codes are input, the corresponding output phase is changed from 0 degrees to 360 degrees, the step length is that in an actual circuit, the weighted values can be generated by controlling the current, the resistor, the capacitor array and other modes through the digital control codes, and the phase output is changed.

and each phase interpolation unit is used for selecting a corresponding differential clock signal from the multi-path differential clock signals according to the carrier modulation signal as an output signal of the phase interpolation unit. Most of the existing phase modulation signals are realized by changing the weight of a plurality of paths of differential clock signals, and the embodiment is realized by changing the number of the phase interpolation units in a conducting working state in N phase interpolation units. The output after the phase interpolation units are superposed can ensure that the output power of each phase interpolation unit is smaller under the condition of meeting the output signal power, so that the output power is kept in a low-power linear state, and the linearity of the phase interpolation is realized. In this embodiment, the plurality of differential clock signals may be output by using a multi-modulus divider, or may be output by using a divider circuit plus a phase shifter circuit.
And the accumulation unit is used for superposing the output signals of the N paths of phase interpolation units to be used as the output signals of the interpolator. Vout (i) is the output of the i-th phase interpolation unit, VoutFor the output signal of the interpolator, the calculation formula is:
Figure BDA0002702308870000051
the accumulation of the output value of the phase interpolation unit with the state of being opened is realized by the synthesis of the output signals of the phase interpolation unit.
Fig. 2 is a schematic circuit diagram of a linear phase interpolator according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 2, each phase interpolation unit includes the following structure: two identical load resistors, a first load resistor RL1And a second load resistor RL2Wherein the first load resistance RL1And a second load resistor RL2Are respectively connected with a power supply, and the first load resistor RL1And the second load resistor RL2As a first output terminal and a second output terminal of the phase interpolation unit, respectively; the function of the load resistor is to convert the interpolated current into corresponding interpolated voltage to form voltage waveform output.

In a phase interpolator with 2 sets of differential clock signals input, the 2 sets of differential clock signals are in quadrature, each adjacent clock beingThe phase difference of the signals is 90 °. The phases of the four orthogonal differential clock signals are generally the signals of the same clock signal at phases of 0 °, 90 °, 180 °, and 270 °, wherein the phase difference between the first differential clock signal and the second differential clock signal is 180 °, and the phase difference between the third differential clock signal and the fourth differential clock signal is 180 °.

The carrier modulation signal determines the phase value of the output signal, and the carrier modulation signal determines the current flowing through the switching tube, so that the amplitude of the input differential clock signal is changed, and the difference of the phases of the synthesized signals is realized. Namely, the weight proportion of the differential clock signal is changed, and the phase output is changed, so that the whole process of weighted interpolation is completed. Each phase interpolation unit in this embodiment only accesses one of the bits in the carrier modulated signal, and depending on whether the control bit is "1" or "0", one of two states, on or off, is achieved.
