Detailed Description
The technical scheme of the invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a fully differential low offset high gain operational amplifier according to the present invention, including a first stage gain stage, a second stage output stage, a miller compensation circuit, and a feed-forward common mode feedback. The first-stage gain electrode adopts a current mirror load formed by a common gate, a PNP tube and a resistor to improve the output resistance of the first stage, thereby improving the first-stage gain. The common-gate tube adopts floating bias, and the bias voltage VBP2 is 1.5V lower than the fixed voltage of the drain electrode M3. The current mirror is composed of Q1, Q2, R1 and R2, and the PNP tube is used as the current mirror to further reduce mismatch voltage. The grid voltage of the bias current tube of the first-stage gain stage is the common-mode feedback output VP1, so that the common-mode stability is improved. And the second-stage output stage is a simple common-source stage circuit, and the current bias adopts feedforward common-mode feedback voltage output VP2 to form common-mode feedforward feedback, so that the common-mode stability is greatly improved. The miller compensation circuit is connected in series by using a resistor and a capacitor, so that the differential mode stability of the circuit is improved. The feedforward common mode feedback adopts two pairs of resistor-capacitor voltage division to adopt an output common mode voltage, a PMOS (P-channel metal oxide semiconductor) with a diode connection method is used as a load, an NMOS (N-channel metal oxide semiconductor) pair tube is used as an input to form the common mode feedback with feedforward, wherein the voltage VCM is a reference common mode level.
As shown in fig. 1, in the fully differential low-offset high-gain operational amplifier according to the embodiment of the invention, MOS transistors M1 and M2 are input pair transistors, and the area of the transistors is larger, so that offset and noise are reduced. M4 and M5 are common gate tubes, and the grid voltage VBP2 is 1.5V lower than the source voltage of the input tube, so that floating bias is realized. The operational amplifier current mirror is composed of Q1, R1, Q2 and R2, and the existence of the resistor further improves the gain. The second stage is a simple common source circuit, and the MOS transistors M8 and M9 are second stage input transistors, wherein l is smaller, and a larger output swing is achieved for reducing overdrive voltage. The Miller compensation circuit consisting of the capacitors C1 and C2 and the resistors R3 and R4 carries out frequency response compensation on the operational amplifier, and the in-band zero point is introduced through the resistors R3 and R4, so that the operational amplifier has a phase margin of more than sixty degrees, and the working state is stabilized.
The right side of fig. 1 is a feedforward common-mode feedback section of the present invention, taking common-mode levels of output voltages through C3, C4, R5, R6, amplifying the pipes M12 and M11 through common-mode inputs, and feeding back the output common-mode feedback signals to the first-stage bias and the second-stage bias in the form of mirror currents generating M10 and M11. The common mode feedback voltage generated by M11 is directly transmitted to output signals VOUTP and VOUTN through second stage bias tubes M6 and M7, so that the common mode feedback voltage becomes feedforward common mode feedback. This feedback enables the common mode level to be maintained stable even in the case where the differential mode high gain is achieved and the common mode feedback power consumption is low. The common mode feedback module only consumes 6.03 muA current, and the total power consumption of the invention is only 58.35 muA.
Fig. 2 shows the frequency characteristic simulation result of a fully differential low offset high gain operational amplifier, and the input resistance is 1M ohms, the gain is 118.51dB when the gain is set to 3.2 times, and the phase margin is 81 °. The gain improvement technical effect is obvious.
Fig. 3 is a simulation result of input offset voltage of two hundred times Monte Carlo simulation of a fully differential low offset high gain operational amplifier, and the maximum offset voltage is 183.4 mu V only, so that the technical effect is obvious.
FIG. 4 is a graph of the noise frequency of the high fully differential low offset high gain operational amplifier provided by the present invention, with an integral noise of only 276 μV at 0.1Hz-10 KHz.
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a sinusoidal output simulation waveform when the embodiment of the invention is connected into a closed loop with a 3.2-time gain, and can see that the output can reach an output swing of + -4V when the power supply voltage is 4.5V.
