Embodiment
Fig. 1 is the structural representation of the example part of MEMS sensor circuit 105 and sensor circuit 110, and wherein, sensor circuit 110 is electrically connected on MEMS sensor circuit 105 with the variation of monitoring MEMS transducer output.MEMS sensor circuit 105 can be capacitive accelerometer, makes monitoring in response to the capacitance variations of the transducer that acts on the acceleration on the transducer in 110 pairs of described capacitive accelerometer of sensor circuit.
Typical MEMS capacitive accelerometer comprises the removable detection mass (proof mass) with capacitive element, and described capacitive element is connected in the reference configuration by mechanical Suspension.As shown in Figure 1, two capacitive elements of MEMS transducer are circuit capacitor, are labeled as C1mem and C2mem.Actual capacitive element can be made of a plurality of pole plates that are electrically connected (such as parallel connection), to produce capacitor C1mem and the represented total capacitance of C2mem among the figure.Described capacitor forms two outputs from MEMS sensor circuit 105 to the bridge the omnibus circuit node 145, and described omnibus circuit node 145 can represent that the circuit of described removable detection mass connects.Pole plate or the pole plate group of each capacitor can be connected in removable detection mass, simultaneously another one pole plate or pole plate group transfixion.
The detection of the charge unbalance by differential capacitance bridge both sides that capacitor C1mem, C1ofs, C2mem and C2ofs are formed comes the induction acceleration signal.Capacitor C1mem and C1ofs form a brachium pontis of differential capacitance bridge, and capacitor C2mem and C2ofs form the second brachium pontis of differential capacitance bridge.Two inputs of described difference bridge are: 1) circuit node 145, and it is to detect mass by the MEMS that drive circuit 140 drives to connect; And 2) with the mode driven circuit node 150 anti-phase with node 145.The output of described difference bridge is circuit node 155 and 160.Like this, node 155 and 160 forms the transducer input of sensor circuit 110.Any difference of capacitor is unbalance in the described capacitance bridge circuit will display at node 155 and 160 places with the form of differential charge, and sensor circuit 110 will be measured this differential charge.
Acceleration on the MEMS accelerometer causes the movement of described detection mass.The displacement of described detection mass changes the spacing between the capacitor plate.Described displacement approximately with two capacitive elements between the difference of the capacitance that causes be directly proportional.With described detection mass and mechanical Suspension as flexible member, this so that acceleration can be determined by displacement according to Hooke's law (Hooke ' s Law).
In general, the right capacitance variations of capacitor is relevant with the linear acceleration of a direction.Perpendicular to right another capacitor of described the first capacitor to the acceleration on the second direction is determined.This can provide the diaxon accelerometer.Three capacitors are to realizing three axles or three-dimensional (3D) accelerometer.
Sensor circuit 110 is responded to the capacitance variations of MEMS transducers, and the capacitive character variation is converted to voltage.Therefore, sensor circuit 110 plays the effect of capacitance-voltage change-over circuit or capacitance-voltage (C2V) transducer.Described capacitance-voltage change-over circuit receives the MEMS sensor output signal from MEMS sensor circuit 105.Described capacitance-voltage change-over circuit comprises difference sigma-delta analog to digital converter (ADC) circuit, described difference sigma-delta analog to digital converter (ADC) circuit is sampled to difference MEMS sensor output signal, and the digital signal of capacitance variations in the expression MEMS sensor circuit 105 is provided.As seen from the figure, the capacitor in the MEMS sensor circuit 105 and biased electrical container C1ofs and C2ofs together use as the sense capacitor of sigma-delta ADC; Effectively the capacitance-voltage induction is merged with the sigma-deltaADC circuit.
In example shown in Figure 1, the sigma-delta adc circuit comprises integrating circuit and comparator circuit 120.Described integrating circuit in the example is the First-order Integral circuit, and comprises operational amplifier (opamp) circuit 125.In some instances, described integrating circuit comprises the more integrating circuit of high-order (such as second order).Described comparator circuit provides digital output signal, and is provided with thereafter low pass filter in order to reduce to the MEMS transducer output generation switching noise of sampling.
Described capacitance-voltage change-over circuit also comprises difference chopper circuit path, and described difference chopper circuit path receives difference MEMS sensor output signal and the polarity of difference chopper circuit path is reversed.The additive method of induction MEMS transducer output comprises described MEMS sensor output signal is carried out correlated-double-sampling.In MEMS accelerometer AFE (analog front end) sensor circuit, chopping method has improved the noise reduction of 1/f noise.Chopping method also adopts than correlated-double-sampling method capacitor still less.The minimizing of capacitors count has reduced thermal noise (KT/C) and has reduced the usable floor area of the upper electric capacity-voltage conversion circuit of integrated circuit (such as application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or ASIC).The minimizing of capacitors count can also reduce the stabilization time (settling time) of amplifier (opamp that for example, uses in the integrating circuit).The minimizing of stabilization time can reduce power consumption.Based on noise-reduction method described here, single order sigma-delta adc circuit can provide the dynamic range greater than 100 decibels.
Difference chopper circuit path is realized by chopping switch matrix circuit (115A, 115B, 115C).Fig. 2 shows an example of chopping switch matrix circuit 215.Circuit comes work according to copped wave clock signal C K_A and the CK_B that copped wave clock circuit 230 provides.When described chopping switch matrix circuit provides clock by copped wave clock phase CK_A, then the differential signal of circuit input end is passed.When described chopping switch matrix circuit provides clock by copped wave clock phase CK_B, the then differential signal of circuit input end counter-rotating.When CK_A was effective or " connection ", CK_B was for turn-offing, and vice versa.
In the example of Fig. 1, difference chopper circuit path be included in opamp circuit 125 input counter-rotating difference chopper circuit path polarity the first chopping switch matrix circuit 115A and at the second chopping switch matrix circuit 115B of the output counter-rotating difference chopper circuit path polarity of opamp circuit 125.In some instances, difference chopper circuit path comprises the 3rd chopping switch matrix circuit 115C, the polarity of differential feedback circuit pathways in described the 3rd chopping switch matrix circuit 115C conversion difference sigma-delta adc circuit.Shown in example in, the differential feedback circuit pathways extends to the input of the 3rd chopping switch matrix circuit 115C from the output of the second chopping switch matrix circuit 115B.

During Ph2, first, second, and third chopping switch matrix circuit 115A, 115B and 115C reverse the polarity of difference chopper circuit path.The capacitance of MEMS sensor circuit 105 can be sampled about pumping signal.The first computing clock phase and the second computing clock phase Ph1, Ph2 can have frequency and the duty ratio identical with described square wave excitation signal.The second chopping switch matrix circuit and the 3rd chopping switch matrix circuit 115B, 115C can switch together by the copped wave clock.The first chopping switch matrix circuit 115A can switch by the signal that described copped wave clock and Ph2 clock is carried out logical AND (AND).
The sigma-delta adc circuit is subject to the impact of dead band (dead-bands) or dead band (dead-zones).When signal is sampled, described output comprises 1 and 0 repeat pattern, sometimes is called as idle tone (idle tone).For the input signal of little amplitude, the sigma-delta circuit can the repeat pattern continuous wave output.The input signal of described little amplitude can be not sigma-delta ADC by the dead band scope that causes input signal encode.Yet, preferably the signal of little amplitude is encoded, to utilize the whole dynamic range of the difference sigma-delta adc circuit shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 3.
The capacitance-voltage change-over circuit can comprise to difference chopper circuit path to be provided periodically or the copped wave clock circuit of regular copped wave clock signal.In order to prevent or minimize the dead band in the difference sigma-delta adc circuit, the capacitance-voltage change-over circuit can comprise the copped wave clock circuit that the pseudorandom clock signal is provided to difference chopper circuit path.Described pseudorandom clock signal comprises random transition from high to low, meanwhile guarantees only to have when CK_B turn-offs CK_A to connect, and vice versa.Described pseudorandom clock has reduced to cause the limit cycle (limit cycle) of the integrating circuit of dead band.
Prevent or minimize that the another kind of method of dead band is to add jittering noise in comparator circuit 120 in the difference sigma-delta adc circuit.The capacitance-voltage change-over circuit can comprise pseudo noise circuit for generating 135, and described pseudo noise circuit for generating 135 is electrically connected to described comparator circuit jittering noise is added to the input of comparator circuit.If the output of comparator is carried out evaluation at the end of the second computing clock phase Ph2, then pseudorandom jittering noise signal just can add to during Ph2 in the comparator to remove the dead band idle tone.Jittering noise forces the output of described sigma-delta adc circuit to leave described dead band.
Release as mentioned, the MEMS sensor circuit can be the diaxon accelerometer.In this case, the MEMS sensor circuit can change the first capacitance in response to the linear acceleration on the first direction, and can be in response to the linear acceleration on the second direction direction of described first direction quadrature (for example with) and change the second capacitance.Described sensor circuit can comprise the first capacitance-voltage change-over circuit and the second capacitance-voltage change-over circuit, wherein, described the first capacitance-voltage change-over circuit produces the first digital signal of the variation of described the first electric capacity of expression, and described the second capacitance-voltage change-over circuit produces the second digital signal of the variation of described the second electric capacity of expression.The output of triaxial accelerometer can be responded to by the 3rd capacitance-voltage change-over circuit.
Fig. 4 is the flow chart that falls low noise method 400 in the MEMS accelerometer sensor circuit.At square frame 405, the output of MEMS transducer is sensed, to produce the differential sensor output signal.At square frame 410, the output of MEMS transducer is added to difference chopper circuit path, to reduce the noise in the circuit.In order to realize copped wave, the polarity of described difference chopper circuit path is reversed according to the time interval.In some instances, according to certain time interval the polarity of described circuit pathways is reversed, and in some instances, described polarity is reversed or copped wave according to the pseudorandom time interval.At square frame 415, sample by the MEMS sensor output signal of difference sigma-delta adc circuit after to copped wave, to produce the digital signal of capacitance variations in the described MEMS transducer of expression.
Copped wave is carried out in the output that obtains from the MEMS sensor sample, reduced 1/f noise and thermal noise, so that single order sigma-delta adc circuit has the dynamic range greater than 100dB.In order to utilize described dynamic range fully, can carry out signal copped wave with the appearance of dead band in the output that minimizes the sigma-delta adc circuit according to the pseudorandom time interval, and can apply jittering noise to remove idle tone to difference sigma-delta adc circuit.
