Description

Self-adaptive phase alignment circuit, debugging method and gyroscope measurement and control circuit
Technical Field
The disclosure relates to the technical field of gyroscopes, in particular to a self-adaptive phase alignment circuit, a debugging method and a gyroscope measurement and control circuit.
Background
Compared with the traditional gyroscope, the silicon MEMS gyroscope has the remarkable advantages of low cost, low power consumption, small size, light weight, high reliability and the like, and has been widely applied to the fields of consumer electronics, automobiles, industrial control and the like.
Typically, MEMS gyroscopes are vibratory gyroscopes, which are based on the coriolis effect for sensing angular velocity. If the gyroscope is driven to oscillate stably in the X axis, if a rotational angular velocity is input in the Z axis, a coriolis displacement is generated in the Y axis (detection axis), and the input angular velocity can be obtained by detecting the displacement. In order to improve the anti-interference capability of the MEMS gyroscope, the MEMS gyroscope generally operates in a low-pass region rather than a mode matching region, which causes the coriolis displacement to be very weak. Due to non-ideal factors of the micro-machining process, the driving displacement of the MEMS gyroscope may deviate from the X-axis by an angle, so that a component of the driving displacement is coupled to the detection axis, resulting in a quadrature error. The phase of the quadrature error lags the coriolis displacement by 90 degrees and the magnitude of the quadrature error is much larger than the coriolis displacement. Usually, a coherent demodulation method is used to extract the coriolis displacement, thereby completing the angular velocity detection.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the description is illustrative only and is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. In the following detailed description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the disclosure. It may be evident, however, that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. Moreover, in the following description, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the concepts of the present disclosure.
The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the disclosure. The terms "comprises," "comprising," and the like, as used herein, specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, or components.
All terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art unless otherwise defined. It is noted that the terms used herein should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with the context of this specification and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense.
The phase relationship between the driving displacement and the Coriolis displacement of the MEMS vibrating gyroscope depends on the relationship between the resonant frequencies of the driving mode and the detection mode of the gyroscope, and when the resonant frequency of the driving mode is respectively greater than, less than or equal to the resonant frequency of the detection mode, different phase relationships exist between the driving displacement and the Coriolis displacement. However, the phase relationship between the quadrature error and the coriolis displacement is constant and is not affected by the relationship between the two modal resonant frequencies of the gyroscope. With this, a coherent demodulation system based on quadrature error alignment can be designed to acquire the coriolis shift.
As shown in FIG. 1, the driving circuit of the system is composed of a MEMS gyroscope, a C/V conversion circuit, a filter, a phase shifter, a phase-locked loop, a resistor divider and a filter. The task of the drive circuit is to drive the device to a stable oscillation state in preparation for subsequent detection of the input angular velocity information. In the driving circuit, since the output of the phase locked loop leads the input by 90 degrees, a phase shifter is added after the C/V conversion circuit. Since the output of the C/V conversion circuit contains a lot of broadband noise, a filter is added after the circuit. In order to ensure that the device works safely and the output frequency spectrum of the device is better, the output of the phase-locked loop is subjected to resistance voltage division and low-pass filtering. The detection circuit of the system consists of a C/V conversion circuit, an adjustable phase shifter, a frequency mixer, a low-pass filter and an analog-to-digital converter. The carrier of the mixer comes from the phase-locked loop of the driving circuit instead of the output of the C/V conversion circuit, so that a purer demodulation carrier can be obtained, and meanwhile, the decoupling of the carrier and the driving displacement is realized. The phase of the quadrature error lags the carrier by 90 degrees by adjusting the adjustable phase shifter of the detection circuit, thus automatically realizing the in-phase alignment of the Coriolis displacement and the carrier. Considering that the magnitude of the quadrature error is much larger than the coriolis displacement, the system achieves phase alignment based on the quadrature error rather than the coriolis displacement. By utilizing the system, the MEMS gyroscope realizes normal driving and correct detection, the scale factor is 1.415mV/°/s, and the zero-offset instability degree is 108 °/h.
The zero bias instability of the MEMS gyroscope system is high, and the circuit system has the following problems: (1) the stability of the driving displacement amplitude is low, and the amplitude stability control on the driving displacement is not directly carried out; (2) the driving circuit comprises a filter and a phase shifter, so that the circuit complexity is increased, and the electrical noise is introduced; (3) the quadrature error of the detection circuit has phase jitter, the precision of phase alignment is not high, and the demodulation effect is poor; (4) the phase alignment error is easily caused by manually observing whether the phases are aligned and manually adjusting the phase shift amount of the phase shifter. This error, coupled with temperature, can creep, which degrades the performance of coherent demodulation.

As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an adaptive phase alignment circuit 210, including: the digital control phase shifter 211, the phase-locked loop 212, the phase detector 213, the signal conversion module 214 and the adder 215.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, assuming that the second signal is a quadrature error of the gyroscope and the third signal is a demodulation carrier of the gyroscope, the adaptive phase alignment circuit 210 may be utilized to achieve a phase alignment of the quadrature error and the demodulation carrier by 90 °, so as to separate the coriolis displacement of the gyroscope from the demodulation carrier.
Alternatively, the first signal and the third signal may be various types of signals such as a voltage signal, a current signal, a differential signal, and the like.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the digitally controlled phase shifter 211 includes: the circuit comprises an operational amplifier, a first resistor, a second resistor and a numerical control pole adjusting point sub-circuit.
One end of the first resistor is connected with the input end of the first signal, and the other end of the first resistor is connected with the negative input end of the operational amplifier; one end of the second resistor is connected with the negative input end of the operational amplifier, and the other end of the second resistor is connected with the output end of the operational amplifier; a first port of the numerical control pole adjusting point sub-circuit is connected with an input end of a first signal, a second port of the numerical control pole adjusting point sub-circuit is connected with a positive input end of an operational amplifier, and a third port of the numerical control pole adjusting point sub-circuit is connected with an external digital signal input end.

When the feedback resistors R4 and R6 are equal, the transfer function of the phase shifter is:
Figure BDA0002602980720000071
fig. 4 and 5 respectively provide a variation of the digitally controlled phase shifter 211 for the embodiment of the present disclosure, in which the digitally controlled tuning point sub-circuit in fig. 4 is composed of a resistor R5 and a digitally controlled tunable capacitor C3, and the digitally controlled tuning sub-circuit in fig. 5 is composed of a digitally controlled tunable resistor and a digitally controlled tunable capacitor. The three numerical control phase shifters 211 shown in fig. 3 to 5 can be controlled by an external digital signal to adjust a numerical control adjustable resistor or a numerical control adjustable capacitor inside the numerical control phase shifter 211, so that a pole of the numerical control phase shifter 211 changes, and phase shifting of different phases of a first signal input to the numerical control phase shifter 211 is further achieved.
In the disclosed embodiment, the signal conversion module 214 includes: a charge pump 2141, a loop filter 2142, and an analog-to-digital converter 2143.
The charge pump 2141 converts the phase difference into a current signal.
The loop filter 2142 converts the current signal into a voltage signal.
The analog-to-digital converter 2143 converts the voltage signal into a digital quantity.
Since the numerical control phase shifter 211 is adopted to adjust the first signal in the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the phase-locked filtering is performed on the phase-shifted first signal by the phase-locked loop 212 and the phase difference is calculated by the phase detector 213, before the phase difference is fed back to the numerical control phase shifter 211, the phase difference is converted into a digital signal by the signal conversion module 214 for adjusting the numerical control phase shifter 211, the phase of the second signal contained in the first signal is correspondingly adjusted, and the phase alignment of 90 degrees between the second signal and the third signal is realized by this feedback mechanism. Therefore, in this process, the phase difference signal should be converted into a digital signal through the charge pump 2141, the loop filter 2142, the analog-to-digital converter 2143, and the like according to actual requirements. The analog-to-digital converter 2143 may be a high-precision ADC with more than 16 bits, so as to implement high-precision adjustment of the phase shift of the first signal in cooperation with the digitally controlled phase shifter.
In the disclosed embodiment, the phase-locked loop 212 is provided with an input signal threshold, and only a part of the first signal above the input signal threshold is input into the phase-locked loop 212. Taking the first signal as a differential detection signal of the gyroscope as an example, the signal includes signals such as an orthogonal error, coriolis displacement, noise, and the like, and since the amplitude of the coriolis displacement is much smaller than the orthogonal error, the threshold of the input signal of the phase-locked loop 212 is set at a higher potential, so that the phase-locked loop 212 captures and locks only the orthogonal error, i.e., obtains a second signal, and then compares the orthogonal error with the phase of a carrier (i.e., a third signal) through the phase discriminator 213, so as to achieve 90-degree phase alignment of the orthogonal error and the carrier, so as to obtain the coriolis displacement of the gyroscope. The phase-locked loop 212 enables the phase jitter of the quadrature error to be lower, improves the accuracy of phase alignment, and also improves the performance of coherent demodulation.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, after the phase-locked loop 212 performs the phase-locked filtering process on the first signal, the output second signal is in phase with the first signal. In this manner, the phase-locked loop 212 can extract and filter the quadrature error without changing its phase, which greatly improves the accuracy of the phase alignment.
The self-adaptive phase alignment circuit 210 provided by the embodiment of the disclosure can be applied to the phase alignment of the quadrature error of the vibrating gyroscope and the carrier, the phase adjustment of the quadrature error is realized through the numerical control phase shifter, the precision is higher, and the coherence adjustment performance is strong. It is understood that the adaptive phase alignment circuit 210 provided by the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and may also be applied to other application scenarios requiring phase calibration and phase alignment.
The embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a debugging method applied to the adaptive phase alignment circuit 210, which includes steps S1 to S2.
S1, the connection line between the loop filter 2142 and the analog-to-digital converter 2143 is disconnected.
S2, fixing the voltage of the adc 2143 to Vref/2, where Vref is the range of the input voltage of the adc 2143.
S3, inputting the first signal to the digitally controlled phase shifter.
S4, the amount of the preset number is adjusted so that the output second signal of the phase locked loop 212 is phase aligned with the third signal by about 90 degrees.
And S5, fixing the preset digital quantity.
S6, connect the loop filter 2142 and the analog-to-digital converter 2143, and complete the debugging.
In steps S1 to S4, since the connection line between the loop filter 2142 and the analog-to-digital converter 2143 is disconnected, the adaptive phase alignment circuit 210 is an open loop circuit, wherein the output voltage range of the loop filter 2142 is 0 to Vref, the input signal range of the analog-to-digital converter 2143 is also 0 to Vref, the voltage of the analog-to-digital converter 2143 is fixed to Vref/2, and when the phase alignment between the output second signal and the output third signal of the phase locked loop 212 is about 90 degrees, the output dc voltage of the loop filter 2142 is also about Vref/2, which can be used to realize the phase alignment between the second signal and the third signal. The preset digital quantity is adjusted by taking the voltage value of the analog-to-digital converter 2143 as Vref/2, so as to maximize the adjustable range of the output voltage of the loop filter 2142, and also maximize the dynamic adjustment range of the adaptive feedback loop. After the preset digital quantity is fixed, the loop filter 2142 and the analog-to-digital converter 2143 are connected to restore the adaptive phase alignment circuit to a closed loop, and the adaptive phase alignment circuit 210 can self-align the second signal and the third signal by 90 degrees, and can track the alignment in real time according to the environmental change.
It should be noted that the method is not only suitable for achieving the 90-degree phase alignment between the second signal and the third signal, but also can achieve the different-degree phase alignment between the second signal and the third signal according to the actual situation.
