Description

锁相回路电路PLL circuit

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及一种锁相回路电路,尤其涉及一种可快速并精确锁定所需频率及相位的锁相回路电路。The invention relates to a phase-locked loop circuit, in particular to a phase-locked loop circuit capable of rapidly and accurately locking required frequency and phase.

背景技术Background technique

锁相回路(Phase Lock Loop,PLL)电路的发展过程由来已久,而至今仍为技术研讨的要角,主要因其应用甚为广泛并拥有高度发展潜力。简言之,锁相回路电路基本的整体作用即是使用频率变动量极低的振荡源作为基准参考,经由闭回路控制系统的反馈作用,驱动可变频率的元件的动作,使其能快速且持续稳定地和振荡源达到同相位的状态,即为相位锁定(Phase Locked)。The Phase Lock Loop (PLL) circuit has been developed for a long time, and it is still an important part of technical research, mainly because of its wide application and high development potential. In short, the basic overall function of the phase-locked loop circuit is to use the oscillation source with extremely low frequency variation as a reference, and through the feedback of the closed-loop control system to drive the action of the variable-frequency components, so that it can quickly and Continuously and stably reaching the state of the same phase as the oscillation source is Phase Locked.

此外,目前的锁相回路电路很多采用粗调回路(coarse tune loop)及微调回路(fine tune loop)共存的双回路设计。典型的模拟双回路锁相回路在稳定度的考量下,会使用大电阻和大电容构成其粗调回路,以产生很低频的极点(pole)。此外,对于双回路锁相回路在锁定时的稳定度,则以微调回路的设计为主要考量。传统的双回路锁相回路架构其压控振荡器(voltage control oscillator)有低的频率增益(frequencygain;Kvco),并因而有低的相位噪声(Phase Noise)和极佳的电源抑制比(power supply rejection ratio,PSRR)。In addition, many current PLL circuits adopt a dual-loop design in which a coarse tune loop and a fine tune loop coexist. In consideration of stability, a typical analog dual-loop phase-locked loop uses a large resistor and a large capacitor to form a coarse tuning loop to generate a very low-frequency pole. In addition, for the stability of the dual-loop phase-locked loop during locking, the design of the fine-tuning loop is the main consideration. The traditional dual-loop phase-locked loop architecture has a voltage-controlled oscillator (voltage control oscillator) with low frequency gain (frequency gain; Kvco), and thus has low phase noise (Phase Noise) and excellent power supply rejection ratio (power supply rejection ratio, PSRR).

然而,现有技术中的双回路锁相回路电路因其粗调低通滤波器的频宽是固定且被过度地局限,故传统双回路锁相回路电路的最大缺点是其锁定反应速度很慢。However, the dual-loop phase-locked loop circuit in the prior art is fixed and excessively limited because of the bandwidth of the coarse-tuning low-pass filter, so the biggest disadvantage of the traditional dual-loop phase-locked loop circuit is that its locking response speed is very slow .

具体实施方式Detailed ways

于以下实施例中,在锁相回路电路进行锁定的初期,当中的一粗调低通滤波器模组被设定为具有较大的频宽,因此可使输出信号的频率快速地被调整至所预期的频率附近。此外,在锁相回路电路进行锁定的末期,该粗调低通滤波器模组被设定为具有较小的频宽,因此可使输出信号的频率准确地被调整成所预期的频率。结果,此锁相回路电路可以迅速又正确地将其输出信号的频率锁定在特定的频率。In the following embodiments, at the initial stage of the phase-locked loop circuit locking, one of the coarse-tuning low-pass filter modules is set to have a larger bandwidth, so that the frequency of the output signal can be quickly adjusted to around the expected frequency. In addition, at the end of the phase-locked loop circuit locking, the coarse adjustment low-pass filter module is set to have a smaller bandwidth, so that the frequency of the output signal can be accurately adjusted to the expected frequency. As a result, the PLL circuit can quickly and accurately lock the frequency of its output signal to a specific frequency.

请参考图1,图1为本发明第一实施例的锁相回路电路100的功能方框图。相位频率检测器110(phase frequency detector,PFD)用以比较输入信号Fref及反馈信号Fo的频率及相位,并依据比较结果,产生升压控制信号SU及降压控制信号SDPlease refer to FIG. 1 , which is a functional block diagram of a phase-locked loop circuit 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The phase frequency detector 110 (phase frequency detector, PFD) is used to compare the frequency and phase of the input signal Fref and the feedback signal Fo, and generate a boost control signal S U and a buck control signal S D according to the comparison result.

电荷泵730耦接于相位频率检测器110,用以接收产生升压控制信号SU及降压控制信号SD,以产生控制信号SC。换言之,控制信号SC可以指示出输入信号Fref及反馈信号Fo的频率及相位的比较结果。The charge pump 730 is coupled to the phase frequency detector 110 for receiving and generating the boost control signal S U and the buck control signal SD to generate the control signal S C . In other words, the control signal S C can indicate the comparison result of the frequency and phase of the input signal Fref and the feedback signal Fo.

此外,依据设计要求,锁相回路电路100还可选择性地包括一回路滤波器740。回路滤波器740耦接于电荷泵730,用于对电荷泵730所输出的控制信号SC进行滤波。In addition, according to design requirements, the PLL circuit 100 may optionally include a primary loop filter 740 . The loop filter 740 is coupled to the charge pump 730 for filtering the control signal S C output by the charge pump 730 .

粗调低通滤波器模组120耦接至相位频率检测器110,用以接收指示相位频率检测器110的比较结果的控制信号SC。如前所述,于一些实施例中,粗调低通滤波器模组120是通过电荷泵730来耦接至相位频率检测器110,故控制信号SC由电荷泵730接收而得。而于另一些实施例中,则还可通过回路滤波器740来耦接至相位频率检测器110,故控制信号SC可由回路滤波器740接收而得。The coarse adjustment low-pass filter module 120 is coupled to the phase frequency detector 110 for receiving a control signal S C indicating a comparison result of the phase frequency detector 110 . As mentioned above, in some embodiments, the coarse adjustment low-pass filter module 120 is coupled to the phase frequency detector 110 through the charge pump 730 , so the control signal S C is received by the charge pump 730 . In other embodiments, the phase frequency detector 110 can also be coupled to the phase frequency detector 110 through the loop filter 740 , so the control signal S C can be received by the loop filter 740 .

粗调低通滤波器模组120用于以一渐进缩小的频宽,对控制信号SC进行低通滤波,而产生滤波信号SF。换言之,当锁相回路电路100开始运作后,粗调低通滤波器模组120的频宽会被渐进地缩小。The coarse low-pass filter module 120 is used for performing low-pass filtering on the control signal S C with a gradually reduced bandwidth to generate a filtered signal S F . In other words, when the PLL circuit 100 starts to operate, the bandwidth of the coarse low-pass filter module 120 will be gradually reduced.

图1亦显示粗调低通滤波器模组120的一细部结构的实施例。如图1所示,粗调低通滤波器模组120包括第一低通滤波器124以及频宽控制器122,其中第一低通滤波器124的频宽即为上述粗调低通滤波器模组120的被逐渐缩小的频宽。第一低通滤波器124耦接至频宽控制器122,用于由频宽控制器122接收一频宽控制信号SW来调整其频宽。换言之,在频宽控制信号SW的控制之下,第一低通滤波器124的频宽(即粗调低通滤波器模组120的频宽)会逐渐地被缩小。此外,第一低通滤波器124可接收控制信号SC,以调整后的频宽来对控制信号SC进行低通滤波,而产生滤波信号SF,并将滤波信号SF提供给压控振荡模组130。FIG. 1 also shows an embodiment of a detailed structure of the coarse low-pass filter module 120 . As shown in FIG. 1 , the coarse adjustment low-pass filter module 120 includes a first low-pass filter 124 and a bandwidth controller 122, wherein the bandwidth of the first low-pass filter 124 is the above-mentioned coarse adjustment low-pass filter The tapered bandwidth of the module 120. The first low-pass filter 124 is coupled to the bandwidth controller 122 for receiving a bandwidth control signal SW from the bandwidth controller 122 to adjust its bandwidth. In other words, under the control of the bandwidth control signal SW , the bandwidth of the first low-pass filter 124 (that is, the bandwidth of the coarse low-pass filter module 120 ) is gradually reduced. In addition, the first low-pass filter 124 can receive the control signal S C , low-pass filter the control signal S C with the adjusted bandwidth to generate a filtered signal S F , and provide the filtered signal S F to the voltage control Oscillation module 130.

压控振荡模组130耦接于粗调低通滤波器模组120与电荷泵730(可通过回路滤波器740),用于同时根据控制信号SC与滤波信号SF来产生一输出信号Fout。仔细而言,压控振荡模组130根据控制信号SC,而以第一压控振荡增益K1而来产生第一振荡信号F1。此外,压控振荡模组130并根据滤波信号SF,而以第二压控振荡增益K2来产生第二振荡信号F2。较佳地,第二压控振荡增益K2高于第一压控振荡增益K1,更佳地,第二压控振荡增益K2远高于第一压控振荡增益K1。压控振荡模组130再依据第一振荡信号F1与第二振荡信号F2产生输出信号Fout。The voltage-controlled oscillation module 130 is coupled to the coarse adjustment low-pass filter module 120 and the charge pump 730 (which may pass through the loop filter 740), and is used to generate an output signal Fout according to the control signal S C and the filter signal S F simultaneously. . Specifically, the voltage-controlled oscillation module 130 generates the first oscillation signal F 1 with the first voltage-controlled oscillation gain K1 according to the control signal S C . In addition, the voltage-controlled oscillation module 130 generates the second oscillation signal F 2 with the second voltage-controlled oscillation gain K2 according to the filtered signal S F . Preferably, the second voltage-controlled oscillation gain K2 is higher than the first voltage-controlled oscillation gain K1 , more preferably, the second voltage-controlled oscillation gain K2 is much higher than the first voltage-controlled oscillation gain K1 . The voltage-controlled oscillation module 130 then generates an output signal Fout according to the first oscillation signal F1 and the second oscillation signal F2 .

图1亦显示压控振荡模组130的一细部结构的实施例。如图1所示,压控振荡模组130可包括第一压控振荡器132、第二压控振荡器134以及混合器136。第一压控振荡器132具有上述的第一压控振荡增益K1,并耦接于相位频率检测器110,用以根据控制信号SC以产生第一振荡信号F1。第二压控振荡器134具有第二压控振荡增益K2,并耦接至粗调低通滤波器模组120,用于根据滤波信号SF以产生第二振荡信号F2。混合器136耦接至第一压控振荡器132与第二压控振荡器134,用于混合第一振荡信号F1与第二振荡信号F2以产生输出信号Fout。其中,输出信号Fout的频率等于第一振荡信号F1的频率与第二振荡信号F2的频率的总和。FIG. 1 also shows an embodiment of a detailed structure of the voltage-controlled oscillator module 130 . As shown in FIG. 1 , the VCO module 130 may include a first VCO 132 , a second VCO 134 and a mixer 136 . The first voltage-controlled oscillator 132 has the above-mentioned first voltage-controlled oscillation gain K1 and is coupled to the phase frequency detector 110 for generating the first oscillation signal F 1 according to the control signal S C . The second voltage-controlled oscillator 134 has a second voltage-controlled oscillation gain K2 and is coupled to the coarse low-pass filter module 120 for generating a second oscillation signal F 2 according to the filtered signal S F . The mixer 136 is coupled to the first voltage-controlled oscillator 132 and the second voltage-controlled oscillator 134 for mixing the first oscillating signal F 1 and the second oscillating signal F 2 to generate an output signal Fout. Wherein, the frequency of the output signal Fout is equal to the sum of the frequency of the first oscillating signal F 1 and the frequency of the second oscillating signal F 2 .

压控振荡器模组130还经由一反馈路径140耦接至相位频率检测器110。反馈路径140可耦接于压控振荡器模组130与相位频率检测器110之间,用于依据该输出信号Fout而提供反馈信号Fo至该相位频率检测器。The VCO module 130 is also coupled to the phase frequency detector 110 via a feedback path 140 . The feedback path 140 can be coupled between the voltage-controlled oscillator module 130 and the phase-frequency detector 110 for providing a feedback signal Fo to the phase-frequency detector according to the output signal Fout.

值得注意的是,在图1所示的实施例中,输出信号Fout与反馈信号Fo是同一个信号。然而,本发明并不以此为限。例如,在其他实施例中,反馈路径140包含有一至多个除频器,亦即反馈信号Fo可以是输出信号Fout经反馈路径140的除频器除频后产生。It should be noted that, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 , the output signal Fout and the feedback signal Fo are the same signal. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments, the feedback path 140 includes one or more frequency dividers, that is, the feedback signal Fo may be generated after the output signal Fout is divided by the frequency divider of the feedback path 140 .

在上述配置下,当输入信号Fref的频率及相位与反馈信号Fo的频率及相位不同时,相位频率检测器110会藉由改变控制信号SC的电位,来调整压控振荡模组130所产生的反馈信号Fo的频率及相位,进一歩使反馈信号Fo的频率及相位趋近于输入信号Fref的频率及相位,并最终使反馈信号Fo及输入信号Fref两者的频率及相位相同,而完成输出信号Fout及反馈信号Fo的锁定。Under the above configuration, when the frequency and phase of the input signal Fref are different from the frequency and phase of the feedback signal Fo, the phase-frequency detector 110 will adjust the voltage generated by the voltage-controlled oscillation module 130 by changing the potential of the control signal SC . The frequency and phase of the feedback signal Fo further make the frequency and phase of the feedback signal Fo approach the frequency and phase of the input signal Fref, and finally make the frequency and phase of the feedback signal Fo and the input signal Fref the same, and complete Locking of output signal Fout and feedback signal Fo.

仔细而言,藉由相位频率检测器110将输入信号Fref与反馈信号Fo的频率及相位相比较,可以依据比较结果来改变控制信号SC的电位,并进而利用压控振荡模组130改变第一振荡信号F1的频率。此外,由于滤波信号SF是粗调低通滤波器模组120将控制信号SC进行低通滤波而得,亦即滤波信号SF的电位与控制信号SC的电位之间有某程度的相关。因此,当控制信号SC的电位被调整时,滤波信号SF的电位亦随之改变,进而可藉由压控振荡模组130改变第二振荡信号F2的频率。结果,藉由调整控制信号SC的电位,可以同时改变第一振荡信号F1与第二振荡信号F2的频率,进而改变反馈信号Fo的频率与相位。重复上述调整后,反馈信号Fo的频率及相位即可趋近于输入信号Fref的频率及相位,最终达到输出信号Fout及反馈信号Fo的锁定Specifically, by comparing the frequency and phase of the input signal Fref with the feedback signal Fo by the phase-frequency detector 110, the potential of the control signal S C can be changed according to the comparison result, and then the voltage-controlled oscillation module 130 can be used to change the potential of the first The frequency of an oscillating signal F1 . In addition, since the filtered signal S F is obtained by low-pass filtering the control signal S C by the coarse adjustment low-pass filter module 120, that is, there is a certain degree of difference between the potential of the filtered signal S F and the potential of the control signal S C relevant. Therefore, when the potential of the control signal S C is adjusted, the potential of the filter signal S F also changes accordingly, and then the frequency of the second oscillating signal F 2 can be changed by the voltage-controlled oscillation module 130 . As a result, by adjusting the potential of the control signal S C , the frequencies of the first oscillating signal F 1 and the second oscillating signal F 2 can be changed simultaneously, thereby changing the frequency and phase of the feedback signal Fo. After repeating the above adjustments, the frequency and phase of the feedback signal Fo can approach the frequency and phase of the input signal Fref, and finally achieve the locking of the output signal Fout and the feedback signal Fo

必须了解的是,由于粗调低通滤波器模组120具有渐进缩小的频宽,因此锁相回路电路100可以迅速又正确地将反馈信号Fo锁定在特定的频率。以下将详细说明其原理。It must be understood that since the coarse low-pass filter module 120 has a gradually narrowed bandwidth, the PLL circuit 100 can quickly and correctly lock the feedback signal Fo to a specific frequency. The principle will be described in detail below.

在锁相回路电路100锁定反馈信号Fo的频率及相位的过程中,其锁定的反应速度与粗调低通滤波器模组120的频宽有关。当粗调低通滤波器模组120的频宽越大时,锁相回路电路100的锁定反应速度越慢,但锁定的频率精确度则较低。反之,当粗调低通滤波器模组120的频宽越小时,锁相回路电路100的锁定反应速度越快,但却具有较高的精确度。When the phase-locked loop circuit 100 locks the frequency and phase of the feedback signal Fo, its locking response speed is related to the bandwidth of the coarse-tuning low-pass filter module 120 . When the bandwidth of the coarse-tuning low-pass filter module 120 is larger, the locking response speed of the phase-locked loop circuit 100 is slower, but the locking frequency accuracy is lower. On the contrary, when the bandwidth of the coarse-tuning low-pass filter module 120 is smaller, the locking response speed of the phase-locked loop circuit 100 is faster, but with higher precision.

在本实施例中,在锁相回路电路100开始运作后,粗调低通滤波器模组120的频宽设定为渐进地缩小。如此一来,在锁相回路电路100在对反馈信号Fo进行锁定的初期,因粗调低通滤波器模组120有较大的频宽,反馈信号Fo的频率可先被快速地被调整至输入信号Fref的频率附近。接下来,在锁相回路电路100在对反馈信号Fo进行锁定的末期,因粗调低通滤波器模组120有较小的频宽,反馈信号Fo的频率可准确地被调整成输入信号Fref的频率。结果,锁相回路电路100可以迅速又正确地将反馈信号Fo锁定在特定的频率。In this embodiment, after the PLL circuit 100 starts to operate, the bandwidth of the coarse low-pass filter module 120 is set to gradually narrow. In this way, at the initial stage when the phase-locked loop circuit 100 locks the feedback signal Fo, the frequency of the feedback signal Fo can be quickly adjusted to Around the frequency of the input signal Fref. Next, at the end of the phase-locked loop circuit 100 locking the feedback signal Fo, because the coarse adjustment low-pass filter module 120 has a smaller bandwidth, the frequency of the feedback signal Fo can be accurately adjusted to the input signal Fref Frequency of. As a result, the PLL circuit 100 can quickly and accurately lock the feedback signal Fo to a specific frequency.

值得注意的是,图1所示的细部结构仅作一范例说明的用途。其他种种不同的电路均可采用来实现压控振荡模组130,只要能够依据控制信号SC与滤波信号SF而产生两个振荡信号,并再依据此两个振荡信号来产生输出信号Fout即可。It should be noted that the detailed structure shown in FIG. 1 is only for illustration purpose. Various other circuits can be used to realize the voltage-controlled oscillation module 130, as long as two oscillation signals can be generated according to the control signal S C and the filter signal S F , and then the output signal Fout can be generated according to the two oscillation signals. Can.

请参考图2,图2为本发明一实施例的频宽控制器122的功能方框图。在本实施例中,频宽控制器122包括计时器126以及第二低通滤波器128。计时器126用于产生触发信号St。第二低通滤波器128耦接至计时器126,用于依据触发信号St来产生上述的频宽控制信号SWPlease refer to FIG. 2 , which is a functional block diagram of the bandwidth controller 122 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the bandwidth controller 122 includes a timer 126 and a second low-pass filter 128 . The timer 126 is used to generate the trigger signal St. The second low-pass filter 128 is coupled to the timer 126 for generating the aforementioned bandwidth control signal SW according to the trigger signal St.

较佳地,计时器126会每隔一预设周期(例如50毫秒)产生触发信号St,以使第二低通滤波器128每隔上述的预设周期控制第一低通滤波器124缩小其频宽。如此一来,第一低通滤波器124的频宽即可逐次地被调低。此外,此调低操作可一直进行到第一低通滤波器124的频宽缩小至一预设的最小频宽为止。必须了解的是,上述的预设周期与最小频宽皆可以依实际的需求,而给予不同的设定,且本发明不以此为限。Preferably, the timer 126 generates the trigger signal St every preset period (for example, 50 milliseconds), so that the second low-pass filter 128 controls the first low-pass filter 124 to reduce its bandwidth. In this way, the bandwidth of the first low-pass filter 124 can be adjusted down successively. In addition, the down-tuning operation can be performed until the bandwidth of the first low-pass filter 124 is reduced to a preset minimum bandwidth. It must be understood that the aforementioned preset period and minimum bandwidth can be set differently according to actual needs, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

为实现上述的操作方式,于一实施例中,计时器126可配置为每隔一预设周期产生触发信号St,以触发第二低通滤波器128每隔预设周期产生频宽控制信号SW。每当第一低通滤波器124接收到频宽控制信号SW时,其频宽会缩小一既定值。结果,第一低通滤波器124的频宽(即粗调低通滤波器模组120的频宽)每隔一预设周期可缩小一既定值。In order to realize the above operation mode, in one embodiment, the timer 126 can be configured to generate the trigger signal St every preset period to trigger the second low-pass filter 128 to generate the bandwidth control signal S every preset period w . Whenever the first low-pass filter 124 receives the bandwidth control signal SW , its bandwidth is reduced by a predetermined value. As a result, the bandwidth of the first low-pass filter 124 (that is, the bandwidth of the coarsely adjusted low-pass filter module 120 ) can be reduced by a predetermined value every preset period.

值得注意的是,计时器126可被重设,以令锁相回路电路100重新开始锁定输入信号Fref及反馈信号Fo。举例而言,在一实施例中,当计时器126接收到重设信号Rst时,即会发出对应的触发信号St,以令第二低通滤波器128产生对应的频宽控制信号SW,而使第一低通滤波器124的频宽恢复成原本尚未缩小的状态。当计时器126被重设后,即可再次地触发第二低通滤波器128,以缩小第一低通滤波器124的频宽。It should be noted that the timer 126 can be reset, so that the PLL circuit 100 starts to lock the input signal Fref and the feedback signal Fo again. For example, in one embodiment, when the timer 126 receives the reset signal Rst, it will send out a corresponding trigger signal St, so that the second low-pass filter 128 generates a corresponding bandwidth control signal SW , And the bandwidth of the first low-pass filter 124 is restored to the original unreduced state. After the timer 126 is reset, the second low-pass filter 128 can be triggered again to narrow the bandwidth of the first low-pass filter 124 .

A first terminal of the capacitor C is coupled to the first system voltage VDD, and a second terminal of the capacitor C is coupled to the variable resistor R to output the filter signal S F . Under this configuration, the bandwidth controller 122 can transmit the bandwidth control signal SW to the first low-pass filter 124 to change the resistance value of the variable resistor R, thereby narrowing the bandwidth of the first low-pass filter 124 . In other words, the variable resistor R changes its own resistance value according to the bandwidth control signal SW .

In this embodiment, the first low-pass filter 124 includes a resistor Ra, a plurality of capacitors C A -C n , and a plurality of switches S0 -SN. The resistor Ra is coupled to the phase frequency detector 110 . The first terminals of each of the capacitors C A -C n are coupled to the first system voltage VDD, the second terminals of the capacitors C A are coupled to the resistor Ra, and the second terminals of the capacitors C B -C n pass through the switches S0 -SN Connect to resistor Ra. In this embodiment, the aforementioned bandwidth control signal SW is a (N+1)-bit digital control signal, and each bit is used to control one of the switches S0˜SN. For example: Bit SW [0] is used to control the switch S0, bit SW [1] is used to control the switch S1, and bit SW [N] is used to control the switch SN. By controlling the on states of the switches S0-SN, the overall equivalent capacitance value of the capacitors C A -C n can be changed, and then the bandwidth of the first low-pass filter 124 can be changed.
