Embodiment
Fig. 1 is the block diagram of a part of an example that comprises the electronic system of MEMS transducer 105 and IC110.The MEMS transducer can comprise the MEMS gyroscope, for example, and vibratory gyroscope.Vibratory gyroscope can comprise the test block (proof mass) that is suspended in the substrate top.Test block is in driving direction and mechanically vibration on the induction direction perpendicular to driving direction.Test block is ordered about by external drive source and be in resonance state on driving direction.When gyroscope is rotated by angle, produce Coriolis force (Coriolis force) on induction mode, Coriolis force detects with sense capacitor.In the figure, capacitor gdp and gdn represent the driving input to MEMS transducer 105, and capacitor gp and gn represent the sensing signal output of MEMS transducer 105.
IC110 comprises configuration or is designed to the mechanical oscillation of MEMS transducer 105 is remained to the circuit of target mechanical oscillation.These circuit comprise electric charge-voltage translator circuit 115(C2V) and transducer driving amplifier circuit 120.The charge conversion that C2V will be produced by the mechanical oscillation of MEMS transducer becomes voltage.Transducer driving amplifier circuit 120 provides electrostatic force to transducer, to cause mechanical oscillation.IC110 also comprises automatic gain control (AGC) circuit 125 and drive signal circuit 130.Agc circuit 125 is regulated electrostatic force, so that mechanical oscillation is remained to desired value.
Drive signal in order to create initial reference, drive signal circuit 130 produces an oscillator signal when powering on.Therefore, even when ought be non-existent from the sensing signal of MEMS transducer 105, drive signal and also can be provided to transducer driving amplifier circuit 120.This oscillator signal causes mechanical oscillation in MEMS transducer 105, mechanical oscillation then produces electric charge and at the output of C2V circuit, produces sensing signal.The initial signal that drives can comprise a plurality of harmonic frequencies.When the sensing signal that produces reached threshold amplitude, the referenced drive signal was locked into the frequency of the sensing signal that produces.Due to the mechanical resonance of MEMS transducer 105, the sensing signal that is produced by the MEMS transducer is high Q signal, and with this signal, produces high Q referenced drive signal.
Fig. 2 is the flow chart of a kind of generation for the method 200 of the driving signal of MEMS transducer (for example, MEMS free gyroscope or gyroscope).At square frame 205 places, oscillator signal is certainly to be produced by the output of drive signal circuit in drive signal circuit.Oscillator signal is applied to the driving input of MEMS transducer.
At square frame 210 places, in response to the driving input that oscillator signal is applied to the MEMS transducer, expression is received at the input end of drive signal circuit by the voltage signal of the electric charge that the MEMS transducer produces.
At square frame 215 places, the phase place of received voltage signal is offset 90 degree substantially, and through the signal of phase shift, is used to produce the driving signal, rather than uses from the signal that produces.At square frame 220 places, the driving signal that produces is applied to the driving input of MEMS transducer.
Fig. 3 is the circuit diagram of a part of an example of drive signal circuit.Drive signal circuit provides the referenced drive signal for the MEMS transducer.Drive signal circuit comprises input 335, and input 335 receives the voltage signal that represents the electric charge that is produced by the MEMS transducer.In some instances, voltage signal receives from electric charge-voltage translator circuit.
Voltage signal circuit also comprises phase-shift circuit 340 and comparator circuit 345.Phase-shift circuit 340 can be electrically coupled to input 335.Phase-shift circuit 340 with the phase deviation of input signal substantially 90 the degree (90 °).In some instances, phase-shift circuit 340 comprises integrator circuit.Comparator circuit 345 has hysteresis.When input during greater than first threshold, the output of comparator circuit 345 is from the low height that is transformed into, and when input during less than the Second Threshold different from first threshold, export be transformed into from height low.The input of comparator circuit 345 can be electrically coupled to the output of phase-shift circuit 340, and the output of comparator circuit 345 can be electrically coupled to the output 350 of drive signal circuit.
Drive signal circuit comprises feedback loop, and the output that this feedback loop prolongs from drive signal circuit reaches the input of phase-shift circuit 340.If phase-shift circuit 340 comprises integrator circuit, feedback loop can be electrically coupled to from the output of comparator circuit 345 input of the amplifier circuit 355 of integrator circuit.As shown in the example of Fig. 3, feedback loop can comprise: the first transconductance amplifier circuit 360(is sometimes referred to as operation transconductance amplifier or OTA), it has the input of the output that is electrically coupled to comparator circuit 350; And second transconductance amplifier circuit 365, the output that it has the input of the output that is electrically coupled to the first transconductance amplifier circuit 360 and is electrically coupled to the input of phase-shift circuit 340.Feedback loop can comprise capacitor 370(C1), capacitor 370 is coupled to output and the circuit ground of the first transconductance amplifier circuit 360.
The output that is configured in drive signal circuit 350 places of feedback loop are from producing vibration signal or self-oscillation signal.Hysteresis comparator circuit keeps minimum with the amplitude of the vibration of (output of integrator) in loop, and controls the scope of self-oscillating frequency.The binary system output of comparator is carried out charge/discharge by 360 pairs of capacitors of the first transconductance amplifier circuit 370.Error in the self-oscillation signal that is caused by 50% duty ratio is stored on capacitor 370, and by the second transconductance amplifier circuit 365, feeds back to phase-shift circuit 340.This feedback arrangement is proofreaied and correct input signal skew, amplifier offset and comparator offset, so that the output signal of 50% duty ratio substantially to be provided.
The output signal that is produced by drive signal circuit is applied to the driving input of MEMS transducer.Can be drive circuit output 350(output as the output signal that provides with reference to driving signal) signal located of the signal of locating or the output (output-sine wave) of phase-shift circuit 340.For the example shown in Fig. 1, the self-oscillation signal of drive signal circuit is the referenced drive signal of being selected when powering on by agc circuit 125 as being used for driving amplifier circuit 120.Should be that to be marked with the circuit node place of output in drive signal circuit available from the oscillator signal that produces.When the amplitude of the signal of institute's sensing be enough (for example, meet the prearranged signal threshold amplitude) time, agc circuit 125 can be switched to the available signal of output-sine wave with the referenced drive signal by from the available signal of output, coming and be used as the referenced drive signal.This is that output-sine wave provides the referenced drive signal of harmonic wave purer (for example, higher Q) for the MEMS transducer because after reaching amplitude threshold.Due to less harmonic frequency, high Q signal is improved driving and the mechanical resonance in the MEMS transducer.The high Q signal at output-sine wave place provides 90 degree phase shifts and 50% duty ratio accurately substantially.
If phase-shift circuit 340 comprises integrator circuit, feedback arrangement provides stable operating point for the forward path integrator.Stable operating point has been avoided problem out of control (run-away problem), and problem out of control can be carried out integration and be caused by the biasing to less.In addition, use makes the self-oscillation signal minimize with the frequency displacement of temperature for the amplifier circuit 355 that direct current (DC) signal has controlled signal gain.Feedback network should be designed to the DC electric current that provides enough large, so that skew compensates to input signal, but should have low-down interchange (AC) gain, so that the 90 degree phase shifts that provided by the forward path integrator not to be provided.
It is the mutual conductance gm value that is difficult to realize that the design of feedback loop can require for the second transconductance amplifier circuit.Less gm value can be by output current is shunted to avoid before the output current with the second trsanscondutance amplifier feeds back to phase-shift circuit.Fig. 4 is the circuit diagram of a part of another example of drive signal circuit, and this drive signal circuit has the feedback loop that comprises the first transconductance amplifier circuit 460 and the second transconductance amplifier circuit 465.Drive signal circuit comprises splitter circuit 475, and splitter circuit 475 is electrically coupled to the output of the second transconductance amplifier circuit 465, with the output current to the second transconductance amplifier circuit 465, shunts.
Fig. 5 is the circuit diagram of a part of the another example of drive signal circuit, and this drive signal circuit has the feedback loop that comprises the first transconductance amplifier circuit 560 and the second transconductance amplifier circuit 565.Drive signal circuit comprises resitstance voltage divider 575, and resitstance voltage divider 575 is electrically coupled to the output of the second transconductance amplifier circuit 565 and the input of phase-shift circuit 540, with the output current to the second transconductance amplifier circuit 565, shunts.
The amplifier of feedforward integrator circuit should have low gain, in larger input signal operating period, to provide good phase margin.A kind of alternative method is to use high-gain amplifier, but changes the configuration of feedback loop.Fig. 6 is the circuit diagram of a part of another example of drive signal circuit, and this drive signal circuit has the feedback loop that comprises the first transconductance amplifier circuit 660 and the second transconductance amplifier circuit 665.The second transconductance amplifier circuit 665 has the input of the output that is electrically coupled to the first transconductance amplifier circuit, and has the output of the input that is electrically coupled to the integrator amplifier circuit.Feedback loop also comprises the resistor 680 of the output that is coupled to the first transconductance amplifier circuit 660 and the capacitor 670 that is coupled to resistor 680 and circuit ground.This compensating resistor R
1Increased a zero point to feedback transfer function.It is leading that this has increased phase place, with the phase margin to the high-amplitude input signal, improves.
For be provided effective zero point in feedback, the value of compensating resistor may be too large for the realization on IC.Fig. 7 is the also circuit diagram of the part of an example of drive signal circuit, and this drive signal circuit has the feedback loop that comprises the 3rd transconductance amplifier circuit 785.The input of the 3rd transconductance amplifier circuit 785 is electrically coupled to the input of the output sum-product intergrator amplifier circuit of comparator circuit 745, to form the feedback loop of the second parallel connection.The transconductance stage of this increase has been eliminated the needs to the large compensation resistor, and can be provided effective zero point, to provide phase place in advance and the phase margin of high-amplitude input signal is improved.
