Description

一种压控振荡器增益放大方法与电路、锁相环及时钟芯片A voltage-controlled oscillator gain amplification method and circuit, phase-locked loop and clock chip

技术领域Technical field

本发明涉及电数字数据技术领域,尤其涉及一种压控振荡器增益放大方法与电路、锁相环及时钟芯片。The present invention relates to the technical field of electrical digital data, and in particular to a voltage-controlled oscillator gain amplification method and circuit, a phase-locked loop and a clock chip.

背景技术Background technique

在模拟锁相环设计中,压控振荡器(Voltage-Controlled Oscillator, VCO)的增益K VCO如果设计得偏小,那么在同样的控制电压V cont范围内能覆盖的频率范围就会偏小。为了在设计中采用较小的增益K VCO来实现期望的控制环路,同时解决覆盖范围偏小问题,经常采用粗调制做慢环和细调制做快环两种环路结合的方法。其中,用到慢环放大增益K VCO的电路通常需要根据控制电压V cont的工作范围来调整放大的输入输出曲线。目前,常用的减法电路方案需要额外的驱动电路和驱动电流,增加了电路环节引入的噪声,降低了锁相环性能,且增加了成本和功耗。In the design of analog phase-locked loop, if the gain K VCO of the voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) is designed to be too small, the frequency range that can be covered within the same control voltage V cont range will be too small. In order to use a smaller gain K VCO in the design to achieve the desired control loop and at the same time solve the problem of small coverage, the method of combining coarse modulation as a slow loop and fine modulation as a fast loop is often used. Among them, circuits using slow loop amplification gain K VCO usually need to adjust the amplified input and output curve according to the working range of the control voltage V cont . Currently, commonly used subtraction circuit solutions require additional drive circuits and drive currents, which increase the noise introduced into the circuit, reduce phase-locked loop performance, and increase cost and power consumption.

具体实施方式Detailed ways

为了对本发明的技术特征、目的和效果有更加清楚的理解,现说明本发明的具体实施方式。应当理解,此处所描述的具体实施例仅用以解释本发明,并不用于限定本发明,即所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明的实施例,本领域技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。In order to have a clearer understanding of the technical features, purposes and effects of the present invention, the specific implementation modes of the present invention will now be described. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. That is, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

实施例1Example 1

如图1所示为一种锁相环示意图,其包括鉴相器PD、低通滤波器LPF和压控振荡器VCO,其中压控振荡器VCO的增益曲线如图2所示,输入一个控制电压V cont,输出一个同控制电压V cont相关的振荡频率为ω out的波形,且有:Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of a phase-locked loop, which includes a phase detector PD, a low-pass filter LPF and a voltage-controlled oscillator VCO. The gain curve of the voltage-controlled oscillator VCO is shown in Figure 2. Input a control The voltage V cont outputs a waveform with an oscillation frequency ω out related to the control voltage V cont , and has:

ω out=ω 0+K VCO *V cont ω out = ω 0 + K VCO *V cont

其中,ω out为输出角频率,ω 0为自由振荡角频率,K VCO为增益,V cont为控制电压。Among them, ω out is the output angular frequency, ω 0 is the free oscillation angular frequency, K VCO is the gain, and V cont is the control voltage.

图3展示了线性化后的电荷泵锁相环模型,增益K VCO作为压控振荡器VCO的关键参数体现到环路内部。Figure 3 shows the linearized charge pump phase-locked loop model. The gain K VCO is reflected inside the loop as a key parameter of the voltage controlled oscillator VCO.

从图2可以看到,如果增益K VCO比较小,那么总的频率变化范围就可能比较小。为了实现增益K VCO较小,同时输出角频率ω out的覆盖范围足够,通常采用多环路压控振荡器VCO来实现。As can be seen from Figure 2, if the gain K VCO is relatively small, then the total frequency variation range may be relatively small. In order to achieve a small gain K VCO and a sufficient coverage range of the output angular frequency ω out , a multi-loop voltage controlled oscillator VCO is usually used.

图4展示了一个双环路的压控振荡器VCO,控制电压V cont额外经过一个放大电路(图中X2),再经过一个低通滤波器LPF,得到低频时候的输出角频率:Figure 4 shows a dual-loop voltage controlled oscillator VCO. The control voltage V cont passes through an additional amplifier circuit (X2 in the figure), and then passes through a low-pass filter LPF to obtain the output angular frequency at low frequency:

ω out=V cont*K VCO+V C*K VCO=V cont*K VCO+2*V cont*K VCO=K VCO*3*V cont ω out = V cont * K VCO + V C * K VCO = V cont * K VCO +2* V cont * K VCO = K VCO *3* V cont

其中,V C为第二控制电压。通过调节放大电路的放大倍数,实现同样的控制电压V cont变化范围,更宽的输出角频率ω outAmong them, VC is the second control voltage. By adjusting the amplification factor of the amplifier circuit, the same change range of control voltage V cont and a wider output angular frequency ω out can be achieved.

基于图2的增益曲线,放大电路需要先减去一个固定电压再放大,所以实现起来通常需要带减法的放大电路。通常带减法的放大电路如图5所示,其中V p=V cont=V nV O/R 1=(V p-V ref)/R2,如果R 1=2R,R 2=R,那么目标电压V O=(R 1/R 2)*(V cont-V ref)=2*(V cont-V ref),由于第二电流I 2的存在,基准电压V ref必须具有驱动能力,因为第二电流I 2的大小会随着控制电压V cont的变化而变化。Based on the gain curve in Figure 2, the amplifier circuit needs to subtract a fixed voltage before amplifying, so implementation usually requires an amplifier circuit with subtraction. The usual amplifier circuit with subtraction is shown in Figure 5, where V p = V cont = V n , V O / R 1 =( V p - V ref )/R2, if R 1 =2R, R 2 =R, then Target voltage V O =( R 1 / R 2 )*( V cont - V ref )=2*( V cont - V ref ). Due to the existence of the second current I 2 , the reference voltage V ref must have driving capability because The magnitude of the second current I 2 changes with the change of the control voltage V cont .

如图7所示,图6的基准电压V ref产生需要由额外的驱动电路来实现,这样有两个缺点:(1)消耗额外的电流和面积;(2)运算放大器AMP1会引入额外的噪声。As shown in Figure 7, the reference voltage V ref of Figure 6 needs to be generated by an additional drive circuit, which has two disadvantages: (1) It consumes additional current and area; (2) The operational amplifier AMP1 will introduce additional noise .

如图8所示,本实施例提供了一种压控振荡器增益放大方法及电路,采用带失调电压V OS的运算放大器AMP实现减法和放大的控制电压V cont,其中目标电压为:As shown in Figure 8, this embodiment provides a voltage-controlled oscillator gain amplification method and circuit, using an operational amplifier AMP with an offset voltage V OS to achieve subtraction and amplification of the control voltage V cont , where the target voltage is:

V O=((R 1+R 2)/R 2)*(V cont-V OS) V O =(( R 1 + R 2 )/ R 2 )*( V cont - V OS )

其中,R 1为第一电阻阻值,R 2为第二电阻阻值。Among them, R 1 is the resistance of the first resistor, and R 2 is the resistance of the second resistor.

本实施例的第二电阻R 2端接地,不需要额外的驱动电路,不会额外消耗面积和功耗,同时不会增加额外的噪声。In this embodiment, the second resistor R2 terminal is connected to the ground, so no additional driving circuit is required, no additional area and power consumption is consumed, and no additional noise is added.

具体地,本实施例的压控振荡器增益放大电路包括带失调电压V OS的运算放大器AMP、第一电阻R 1和第二电阻R 2,其中运算放大器AMP的正相输入端接入控制电压V cont,负相输入端通过第二电阻R 2接地,输出端依次通过第一电阻R 1和第二电阻R 2接地,且输出端产生目标电压V O控制压控振荡器VCO的调谐频率,失调电压V OS的取值包括压控振荡器VCO的最小调谐频率所对应的电压。Specifically, the voltage-controlled oscillator gain amplification circuit of this embodiment includes an operational amplifier AMP with an offset voltage V OS , a first resistor R 1 and a second resistor R 2 , wherein the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier AMP is connected to the control voltage V cont , the negative phase input terminal is grounded through the second resistor R 2 , the output terminal is grounded through the first resistor R 1 and the second resistor R 2 in turn, and the output terminal generates the target voltage V O to control the tuning frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator VCO, The value of the offset voltage V OS includes the voltage corresponding to the minimum tuning frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator VCO.

相应地,本实施例的压控振荡器增益放大方法包括以下步骤:Correspondingly, the voltage controlled oscillator gain amplification method of this embodiment includes the following steps:

S1. 将控制电压V cont输入带失调电压V OS的运算放大器AMP,运算放大器AMP的正相输入端接入控制电压V cont,负相输入端通过第二电阻R 2接地,输出端依次通过第一电阻R 1和第二电阻R 2接地,且输出端产生目标电压V OS1. Input the control voltage V cont into the operational amplifier AMP with the offset voltage V OS . The positive input terminal of the operational amplifier AMP is connected to the control voltage V cont . The negative input terminal is grounded through the second resistor R 2. The output terminal passes through the second resistor R 2 in turn. A resistor R 1 and a second resistor R 2 are connected to ground, and the output terminal generates a target voltage V O ;

S2. 通过运算放大器AMP产生的目标电压V O控制压控振荡器VCO的调谐频率,失调电压V OS的取值包括压控振荡器VCO的最小调谐频率所对应的电压。S2. The tuning frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator VCO is controlled by the target voltage V O generated by the operational amplifier AMP.
