Definitions
- This invention relates to integrated circuits, and in particular to integrated analog filter circuits.
- Such devices use transconductance elements such as transistors, in combination with capacitors, which together can form integrators or gyrators, and can emulate the impedance of inductors .
- the author also proposed a Q-tuning loop, to provide a controllable Q-value for the filter at very high frequencies.
- the present invention proceeds from the realization that this first order analysis of the prior art structure results in an incomplete understanding of the structure.
- each MOS transistor adds a delay element due to the actions of charged particles in the channel of the transistor. More specifically, the nonquasi-static behaviour of the channel charge adds a delay, which could be approximated as a parasitic pole, in the frequency characteristic of the transconductance of the device.
- the channel delays of the transistors can make the gyrator unstable, in particular in the case of higher order filters (which are often required, in order to provide the necessary filter characteristics) , or at higher frequencies (when the channel delay becomes more of a problem) .
- the channel delay means that the prior art Q-tuning loop does not function as intended.
- the present invention attempts to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art, by taking the channel delay of the- transistors into consideration.
- the invention relates in one aspect to the design of an integrated circuit device, in a way which includes consideration of the channel delay of the transistors.
- the invention relates to an integrated circuit device, in which the channel delay of a transistor is compensated by means of series feedback.
- FIG. 1 is a block schematic diagram of a gyrator circuit in accordance with the invention.
- Figure 2 is a circuit diagram of an inverter in the circuit of Figure 1.
- Figure 3 is a circuit diagram showing a transistor, with a feedback circuit, which can be used in the circuit of Figure 1.
- Figure 4 is a plot of transfer-admittance magnitude against frequency for devices according to the invention.
- Figure 5 is a plot of transfer-admittance phase against frequency for devices according to the invention.
- Figure 6 is a circuit diagram showing a transistor, with a feedback circuit, which can be used in the circuit of Figure 1.
- Figure 1 shows a gyrator cell 2.
- the core of the gyrator cell comprises four CMOS inverter circuits 4, 6, 8, 10, which are arranged in a loop, with the output of each inverter being connected to the input of the next.
- the gyrator has first and second differential inputs i_l, i_2 , and first and second differential outputs o_l, o_2.
- the cell also includes an input common mode feedback network 12 , comprising inverters 14, 16, 18, 20, and an output common mode feedback network 22, comprising inverters 24, 26, 28, 30.
- a gyrator In general, a gyrator consists of a positive transconductance and a negative transconductance .
- the negative transconductance is formed by using differential signals and crossing one pair of wires. It is this crossing of the wires to form a cross-coupled structure which results in stability problems.
- the present invention applies to any cross-coupled structure.
- the analysis herein is set out in the context of a gyrator, and hence relates specifically to filters formed from gyrators. However, the same analysis applies also to integrators, and hence also to filters formed from integrators. Thus, the present invention encompasses such devices.
- CMOS inverters as shown in Figure 2
- the subsequent description relates primarily to such devices.
- the analysis applies also to bipolar and BiCMOS devices, and hence also to filters formed from such devices .
- the present invention encompasses such devices also.
- the present invention proceeds from the realization that the conventional first order analysis of the properties of the devices, for example, in the case of a MOS transistor, assuming that the MOS transadmittance is purely conductive, is inadequate.
- MOS transadmittance modelling the channel delay
- this analysis gives different possible approximations for the effect of the channel delay.
- a first possibility is to assume a pure delay, using the exponential function. However, the resulting function is difficult to use in analyses.
- a second possibility is to use the final approximation, which gives a zero in the right-hand half of the complex plane.
- a third possibility is to use the intermediate approximation, which gives a pole.
- the second and third possible models give the same phase lag, providing the pole and zero time constants are equal, so this aspect of the stability analysis is satisfactory.
- the zero in the right-hand half of the complex plane gives the amplitude of the transadmittance a high-pass characteristic, while the intermediate approximation, with the pole, gives the amplitude of the transadmittance a low-pass characteristic. The latter is more realistic, and so that is the model used hereinafter.
- each MOS transistor in the gyrator core has series feedback added thereto.
- Figure 3 shows a transistor 42 and feedback circuit 44.
- the feedback circuit 44 comprises the parallel combination of a feedback resistor Rf (having resistance r f ) and capacitor Cf (having capacitance c f ) , connected to the source terminal of the transistor aud in series with it.
- Rf having resistance
- r f a feedback resistor
- the closed loop transfer- admitt ⁇ nce G T is :
- G T will approximate l/z f at low frequencies.
- G T will have a left half- plane zero, resulting in an initial phase advance. Since, without feedback, there is a phase lag, this suggests that a balance condition can be found, in which, at least below a particular frequency, the phase-lag can be minimized.
- the resulting design can then be used as the basis for an integrated circuit device .
- the characteristic parameters (such as 9 m ' r f ⁇ gm an ⁇ 3- ⁇ f ) should have a constant relationship in all production devices at different operating temperatures and supply voltages .
- Figure 6 shows a way of achieving this in an IC.
- an MOS transistor 50 operating in its triode region, is used as the- feedback impedance.
- r f l/g d
- C f C g .
- the bias voltage connected to the gate of the transistor 50 tracks variations in the supply voltage to the gyrator cell .
- the supply voltage to the gyrator cell is derived from a tuning circuit, which provides a voltage which is dependent on variations in process, temperature and supply voltage.
- the bias voltage tracks variations in the gyrator cell tuning voltage, this can ensure that r f « l/g m and ⁇ f « x over normal variations in process, temperature and supply.
