Background technology
Along with the development of modern communications technology and signal processing technology, increasing to the demand of high speed, high-precision semiconductor integrated circuit.In the simulation process field, need be digital signal usually with analog signal conversion, further handle through digital signal processing module again.In the process of digital signal, usually need use sampling switch in analog signal conversion, to satisfy requirement to performance of analog-to-digital convertor.
Based on to the sampling switch performance demands, commonly used to the bootstrapping sampling switch.This technology is mainly used in sampling hold circuit.The structure of bootstrapped switch is as shown in Figure 1, and the bootstrapping sampling switch mainly comprises: grid voltage boostrap circuit 20 and nmos pass transistor 10 switches.The grid voltage boostrap circuit has two input CLK and Vin, an output Vout.
The grid voltage boostrap circuit of conventional art is as shown in Figure 2, promotes circuit by a charging capacitor C, ten MOS transistor M1-M10 and a clock voltage and forms.Clock CLK connects the grid of nmos pass transistor M1 and PMOS transistor M2, and the source electrode of M1 and M2 meets supply voltage VDD and GND respectively, and the drain electrode of M1 and M2 links to each other, and is designated as node 1, and in fact M1 and M2 have formed an inverter, and the output of direction device is node 1.Node 1 is as the input of clock voltage lifting circuit, and node 2 is the output that clock voltage promotes circuit.Node 2 connects the grid of nmos pass transistor M5, and the drain electrode of M5 meets supply voltage VDD, and source electrode connects the pole plate of charging capacitor C, links to each other with the source electrode of PMOS transistor M9 simultaneously.Node 1 connects the grid of nmos pass transistor M6, and the source electrode of M6 meets GND, and drain electrode connects another pole plate of charging capacitor C, links to each other with the source electrode of nmos pass transistor M4, M7 and M8 simultaneously.The grid of the grid of M4 and nmos pass transistor M3 all meets clock CLK, and the drain electrode of M4 connects the drain electrode of grid and the M8 of the drain electrode of M3, M9.The drain electrode of M9 links to each other with the grid of the grid of M8, M7 and the drain electrode of nmos pass transistor M10, as the output Vboot of grid voltage boostrap circuit.The source electrode of M10 meets GND, and grid connects node 1.The drain electrode of M7 meets the input Vin of grid voltage boostrap circuit.
When clock CLK was low level GND, node 1 made M5, M6 conducting with node 2, and C charges to charging capacitor, and making C go up the voltage that keeps is VDD, M10 conducting this moment, and output voltage V boot is GND.When clock CLK was high level VDD, node 1 broke off M5, M6, M10 with node 2, and M4 drags down the grid voltage of M9; Make M7, M8, M9 conducting; So just make Vboot equal Vin and add that C goes up the voltage that keeps, promptly Vboot=Vin+VDD has accomplished the function that grid voltage is booted.M8 surpasses VDD for fear of the gate source voltage of M9, thereby improves device reliability.
Can see that traditional grid voltage boostrap circuit needs extra clock voltage to promote circuit, this circuit increases fixing value (being generally VDD) with the voltage of input clock.This extra clock voltage promotes the complexity that circuit has increased circuit.
