Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及环形振荡器技术领域,尤其涉及压控振荡器及锁相环频率合成器。The invention relates to the technical field of ring oscillators, in particular to a voltage-controlled oscillator and a phase-locked loop frequency synthesizer.
背景技术Background technique
本部分旨在为权利要求书中陈述的本发明实施例提供背景或上下文。此处的描述不因为包括在本部分中就承认是现有技术。This section is intended to provide a background or context to the embodiments of the invention recited in the claims. The descriptions herein are not admitted to be prior art by inclusion in this section.
环形振荡器是由数个反相器首尾串接而成,数个反相器本身贡献180度的相移,每个结点加在一起再额外贡献180度的相移,并且信号经过这数个反相器后的增益大于0dB时,就会很容易满足发振的条件。反相器可以是单相的也可以是差分的,单相环形振荡器结构简单,更容易获得更到的振荡频率。差分反相器结构的环形振荡器则更适用于系统噪声大的应用场景,因为差分结构更有利于抑制系统噪声。The ring oscillator is composed of several inverters connected end to end. Several inverters themselves contribute a phase shift of 180 degrees, and each node is added together to contribute an additional phase shift of 180 degrees, and the signal passes through these numbers. When the gain after the inverter is greater than 0dB, it will easily meet the conditions of oscillation. The inverter can be single-phase or differential. The single-phase ring oscillator has a simple structure and is easier to obtain a higher oscillation frequency. The ring oscillator with differential inverter structure is more suitable for application scenarios with large system noise, because the differential structure is more conducive to suppressing system noise.
环形振荡器经常应用于锁相环频率合成器,此时环形振荡器会被适当修改来达到输出频率受控于输入电压的目的,这个经过修改的输出频率可受控于输入电压的环形振荡器简称为压控振荡器(VCO)。在现有的压控振荡器中,一般由偏置电路,环形振荡电路,控制电压转电流电路组成。然而,现有的压控振荡器在应用于锁相环频率合成器时,存在增益偏差过大、相位噪声过大,以及频率修调复杂的问题,很难保证锁相环频率合成器在所有的温度范围以及制造偏差存在的情况下锁定到目标频率,也很难保证锁相环频率合成器输出稳定高质量的时钟。Ring oscillators are often used in phase-locked loop frequency synthesizers. At this time, the ring oscillator will be appropriately modified to achieve the purpose of the output frequency being controlled by the input voltage. The modified output frequency can be controlled by the input voltage of the ring oscillator. It is referred to as a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO). In the existing VCO, it is generally composed of a bias circuit, a ring oscillator circuit, and a control voltage-to-current circuit. However, when the existing voltage-controlled oscillator is applied to the phase-locked loop frequency synthesizer, there are problems such as excessive gain deviation, excessive phase noise, and complicated frequency adjustment. It is difficult to ensure that the phase-locked loop frequency synthesizer outputs a stable and high-quality clock when it is locked to the target frequency in the presence of the temperature range and manufacturing deviation.
因此,现有的压控振荡器存在增益偏差大及相位噪声大的问题。Therefore, the existing VCO has problems of large gain deviation and large phase noise.

本发明实施例提供的压控振荡器适用于:锁相环频率合成器的需要压控振荡器振荡信号的输出频率随着控制电压Vcnt的增加而减小,且电源端Vdd电压很低的情况。The voltage-controlled oscillator provided by the embodiment of the present invention is suitable for: the output frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator oscillation signal of the phase-locked loop frequency synthesizer is required to decrease with the increase of the control voltage Vcnt, and the voltage of the power supply terminal Vdd is very low. .

其中,f表示压控振荡器振荡信号的输出频率,I表示环形振荡模块101消耗的电流,C0表示环形振荡模块101每个节点的等效电容C,Vs表示环形振荡模块101振荡信号的幅值,N表示修调码,Vdd表示电源端Vdd电压,R表示增益调整模块103中所示电阻R(参见下述相关实施例)的阻值,uCox表示环形振荡模块101中MOS管的载流子的迁移率,W表示环形振荡模块101中MOS管的宽度,L表示表示环形振荡模块101中MOS管的长度,Vcnt表示压控振荡器的控制电压,Vth表示表示环形振荡模块101中MOS管的阈值电压。环形振荡模块101中所有MOS管的载流子迁移率、宽度、长度及阈值电压均一致。Among them, f represents the output frequency of the oscillating signal of the voltage controlled oscillator, I represents the current consumed by the
压控振荡器的增益可以通过下述公式确定:The gain of the VCO can be determined by the following formula:
其中,M表示压控振荡器的增益,Δf表示压控振荡器振荡信号输出频率的变化量,ΔVcnt表示压控振荡器控制电压Vcnt的变化量。Among them, M represents the gain of the voltage-controlled oscillator, Δf represents the variation of the output frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator oscillation signal, and ΔVcnt represents the variation of the voltage-controlled oscillator control voltage Vcnt.
通过上述公式(1)至(3)可以得知,修调码N不仅能根据工艺偏差自动修正压控振荡器振荡信号的输出频率,还能够根据工艺偏差自动修正压控振荡器的增益,故相对于现有技术来说,能够降低增益偏差。It can be known from the above formulas (1) to (3) that the trimming code N can not only automatically correct the output frequency of the oscillation signal of the voltage-controlled oscillator according to the process deviation, but also automatically correct the gain of the voltage-controlled oscillator according to the process deviation.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the reference clock control signal FSWCODE is <00000>, the output frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator oscillation signal is the lowest; when the reference clock control signal FSWCODE is <11111>, the output frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator oscillation signal is The frequency is the highest, and its specific value is automatically calculated and output by the adjustment controller of the phase-locked loop frequency synthesizer according to the process and temperature and the change of the target output frequency.
另外,在压控振荡器的控制电压Vcnt=0时,压控振荡器的自偏置电压产生的噪声电压为:In addition, when the control voltage of the voltage-controlled oscillator Vcnt=0, the noise voltage generated by the self-bias voltage of the voltage-controlled oscillator is:

The last two items in the formula (6) are the heat generated by the MOS tube of the bias current source respectively. Noise and Flicker noise, these two noises are almost completely removed in the voltage-controlled oscillator provided by the embodiment of the present invention.
