Multiple elements operate or act on each other.

请参照图1A,图1A为根据本发明内容的一实施例绘示比较器100的示意图。如图1A所示,比较器100包含取样单元120与放大单元140。取样单元120用以选择性地对输入信号VIN1与输入信号VIN2进行取样,并产生差值信号VSIG。放大单元140电性耦接取样单元120,并用以接收差值信号VSIG,以产生输出信号VOUT。Please refer to FIG. 1A , which is a schematic diagram of a comparator 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1A , the comparator 100 includes a sampling unit 120 and an amplifying unit 140 . The sampling unit 120 is used for selectively sampling the input signal VIN1 and the input signal VIN2 to generate a difference signal VSIG. The amplifying unit 140 is electrically coupled to the sampling unit 120 and used for receiving the difference signal VSIG to generate an output signal VOUT.

于本发明内容的各个实施例中,放大单元140设置以经由预设电压VINIT、预设电压VCC、系统供应电压VDD与系统供应电压VSS所驱动。上述的预设电压VINIT可用以设置放大单元140的操作点,其中预设电压VCC设置以高于系统供应电压VDD,系统供应电压VDD设置以高于系统供应电压VSS。藉由上述的配置方式,当放大单元140的内部元件因制程误差或长期使用产生变异时,可相应地将预设电压VINIT与预设电压VCC一起调高或调低,以降低内部元件变异的影响。如此,放大单元140操作可靠度得以改善。此处的相关操作将在后续段落详细说明。In various embodiments of the present invention, the amplifying unit 140 is configured to be driven by the preset voltage VINIT, the preset voltage VCC, the system supply voltage VDD and the system supply voltage VSS. The aforementioned preset voltage VINIT can be used to set the operating point of the amplifying unit 140 , wherein the preset voltage VCC is set higher than the system supply voltage VDD, and the system supply voltage VDD is set higher than the system supply voltage VSS. With the above configuration, when the internal components of the amplifying unit 140 vary due to process errors or long-term use, the preset voltage VINIT and the preset voltage VCC can be adjusted up or down accordingly, so as to reduce the variation of the internal components. Influence. In this way, the operation reliability of the amplifying unit 140 is improved. The relevant operations here will be described in detail in the subsequent paragraphs.

如图1A所示,于一些实施例中,取样单元120包含开关SW1、开关SW2与电容C。开关SW1的第一端用以接收输入信号VIN1,且开关SW1的控制端用以接收控制信号VC1。开关SW2的第一端用以接收输入信号VIN2,且开关SW2的控制端用以接收控制信号VC2,其中上述的控制信号VC1与控制信号VC2设置为反相。电容C的第一端(亦即节点A)电性耦接至开关SW1的第二端与开关SW2的第二端。As shown in FIG. 1A , in some embodiments, the sampling unit 120 includes a switch SW1 , a switch SW2 and a capacitor C. As shown in FIG. The first terminal of the switch SW1 is used for receiving the input signal VIN1 , and the control terminal of the switch SW1 is used for receiving the control signal VC1 . The first terminal of the switch SW2 is used to receive the input signal VIN2 , and the control terminal of the switch SW2 is used to receive the control signal VC2 , wherein the above-mentioned control signal VC1 and the control signal VC2 are set to be opposite phases. The first end of the capacitor C (ie, the node A) is electrically coupled to the second end of the switch SW1 and the second end of the switch SW2 .

再者,放大单元140包含开关SW3与放大电路142。开关SW3的第一端电性耦接电容C的第二端(亦即节点B),开关SW3的第二端用以接收预设电压VINIT,且开关SW3的控制端用以接收控制信号VC1。放大电路142电性耦接至开关SW3的第一端(即节点B),并根据控制信号VC1的时序接收差值信号VSIG与预设电压VINIT。例如,放大电路142可在开关SW3被控制信号VC1导通时接收预设电压VINIT,并在开关SW3被控制信号VC1关闭时接收差值信号VSIG与预设电压VINIT迭加后的信号,进而产生输出信号VOUT。Furthermore, the amplifying unit 140 includes a switch SW3 and an amplifying circuit 142 . The first end of the switch SW3 is electrically coupled to the second end of the capacitor C (namely the node B), the second end of the switch SW3 is used to receive the preset voltage VINIT, and the control end of the switch SW3 is used to receive the control signal VC1. The amplifying circuit 142 is electrically coupled to the first end of the switch SW3 (ie, node B), and receives the difference signal VSIG and the preset voltage VINIT according to the timing of the control signal VC1 . For example, the amplifying circuit 142 can receive the preset voltage VINIT when the switch SW3 is turned on by the control signal VC1, and receive the superimposed signal of the difference signal VSIG and the preset voltage VINIT when the switch SW3 is turned off by the control signal VC1, and then generate output signal VOUT.

以功能而言,开关SW1用以根据控制信号VC1选择性地导通,以将输入信号VIN1传送至电容C进行储存。同样地,开关SW2可根据控制信号VC2选择性地导通,已将输入信号VIN2传送至电容C进行储存。电容C可根据所储存的控制信号VC1与控制信号VC2而输出差值信号VSIG。而开关SW3则根据控制信号VC1选择性地导通,以将预设电压VINIT传送至电容C的第二端,藉此调整差值信号VSIG的信号位准,进而设置放大电路142的操作点。In terms of function, the switch SW1 is selectively turned on according to the control signal VC1 to transmit the input signal VIN1 to the capacitor C for storage. Likewise, the switch SW2 can be selectively turned on according to the control signal VC2 , and the input signal VIN2 is transmitted to the capacitor C for storage. The capacitor C can output the difference signal VSIG according to the stored control signal VC1 and the control signal VC2 . The switch SW3 is selectively turned on according to the control signal VC1 to transmit the predetermined voltage VINIT to the second terminal of the capacitor C, thereby adjusting the signal level of the difference signal VSIG, thereby setting the operating point of the amplifying circuit 142 .

图1B为根据本发明内容的一实施例绘示图1A中的比较器100的操作时序图。为了方便说明,请一并参照图1A与图1B。FIG. 1B is a timing diagram illustrating the operation of the comparator 100 in FIG. 1A according to an embodiment of the disclosure. For convenience of description, please refer to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B together.

于时间T1时,控制信号VC1切换至高位准电压,开关SW1与开关SW3因此导通。输入信号VIN1可经由开关SW1传送至电容C,而使节点A的电压位准切换至输入信号VIN1的位准。同时,预设电压VINIT经由开关SW3传送至电容C,而使节点B的电压位准切换至预设电压VINIT的位准。At time T1, the control signal VC1 is switched to a high level voltage, and the switch SW1 and the switch SW3 are thus turned on. The input signal VIN1 can be transmitted to the capacitor C through the switch SW1, so that the voltage level of the node A is switched to the level of the input signal VIN1. At the same time, the predetermined voltage VINIT is transmitted to the capacitor C through the switch SW3, so that the voltage level of the node B is switched to the level of the predetermined voltage VINIT.

于时间T2时,控制信号VC1切换至低位准电压,开关SW1与开关SW3因此关断,节点A的电压位准仍维持在输入信号VIN1的电压位准,且节点B的电压位准亦维持在预设电压VINIT的电压位准。At time T2, the control signal VC1 is switched to a low level voltage, the switches SW1 and SW3 are thus turned off, the voltage level of the node A is still maintained at the voltage level of the input signal VIN1, and the voltage level of the node B is also maintained at The voltage level of the preset voltage VINIT.

于时间T3时,控制信号VC2切换至高位准电压,开关SW2因此导通。输入信号VIN2可经由开关SW2传送至电容C,而使节点A的电压位准由输入信号VIN1的位准切换至输入信号VIN2的位准,此电位差的变化即为差值信号VSIG,亦即差值信号VSIG=VIN2-VIN1。同时,由于电容C的特性,节点B上亦会产生相同的电位差的变化,节点B的电压位准因此由预设电压VINIT的电压位准往上提升了相同的电位差(亦即约为差值信号VSIG的振幅)。因此,放大电路142可将此差值信号VSIG进行放大。若放大电路142的电压增益为Q,则可输出Q倍的差值信号VSIG,亦即输出信号VOUT=Q*VSIG。At time T3, the control signal VC2 is switched to a high level voltage, and the switch SW2 is thus turned on. The input signal VIN2 can be transmitted to the capacitor C through the switch SW2, so that the voltage level of the node A is switched from the level of the input signal VIN1 to the level of the input signal VIN2, and the change of the potential difference is the difference signal VSIG, that is, Difference signal VSIG=VIN2-VIN1. At the same time, due to the characteristics of the capacitor C, the same potential difference will also change on the node B, and the voltage level of the node B is therefore raised from the voltage level of the preset voltage VINIT by the same potential difference (that is, approximately Amplitude of difference signal VSIG). Therefore, the amplifying circuit 142 can amplify the difference signal VSIG. If the voltage gain of the amplifying circuit 142 is Q, the difference signal VSIG can be output Q times, that is, the output signal VOUT=Q*VSIG.

如图1B所示,若当输入信号VIN2大于输入信号VIN1,则比较器100可输出具有高位准电压的输出信号VOUT。反之,若当输入信号VIN2小于输入信号VIN1,则比较器100可输出具有低位准电压的输出信号VOUT。因此,可藉由输出信号VOUT的电压位准得知输入信号VIN1与输入信号VIN2的比较结果。As shown in FIG. 1B , if the input signal VIN2 is greater than the input signal VIN1 , the comparator 100 may output an output signal VOUT with a high level voltage. On the contrary, if the input signal VIN2 is smaller than the input signal VIN1 , the comparator 100 can output the output signal VOUT with a low level voltage. Therefore, the comparison result between the input signal VIN1 and the input signal VIN2 can be obtained through the voltage level of the output signal VOUT.

本发明内容以下段落将提出数个实施例,可用以实现上述的放大单元140所述的功能与操作,但本发明内容并不仅以下列的实施例为限。The following paragraphs of the content of the present invention will propose several embodiments, which can be used to realize the functions and operations of the amplifying unit 140 described above, but the content of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

请参照图2,图2为根据本发明内容的一实施例绘示一种放大单元200的示意图。如图2所示,放大单元200中的放大电路142包含开关T1与开关T2。开关T1的第一端用以接收系统供应电压VDD,开关T1的第二端用以产生输出信号VOUT,且开关T1的控制端用以接收预设电压VCC。开关T2的第一端电性耦接开关T1的第二端,且开关T2的第二端用以接收系统供应电压VSS,即输出信号VOUT皆电性耦接开关T1的第二端与开关T2的第一端,且开关T2的控制端用以接收差值信号VSIG。Please refer to FIG. 2 . FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating an amplification unit 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2 , the amplifying circuit 142 in the amplifying unit 200 includes a switch T1 and a switch T2 . The first terminal of the switch T1 is used for receiving the system supply voltage VDD, the second terminal of the switch T1 is used for generating the output signal VOUT, and the control terminal of the switch T1 is used for receiving the preset voltage VCC. The first end of the switch T2 is electrically coupled to the second end of the switch T1, and the second end of the switch T2 is used to receive the system supply voltage VSS, that is, the output signal VOUT is electrically coupled to the second end of the switch T1 and the switch T2. The first terminal of the switch T2 is used to receive the difference signal VSIG.

实作上,前述的开关T1与开关T2各自具有临界电压(thresholdvoltage)VTH。于正常操作下,预设电压VCC会设置为大于系统供应电压VDD与临界电压VTH之和的电压VCC1,亦即VCC=VCC1>VDD+VTH,且预设电压VINIT设置为电压VINIT1。如图2所示,预设电压VINT施加于开关T2的控制端,藉此设置放大电路142的操作点。因此,可视实际需求调整电压VINIT1的值,以将放大电路142操作于适当的操作条件。当制程产生变异或元件老化,而使得开关T1与开关T2的临界电压VTH产生变异时,可藉由调整预设电压VINIT与预设电压VCC,以改善放大单元140的可靠度。In practice, the aforementioned switches T1 and T2 each have a threshold voltage VTH. Under normal operation, the preset voltage VCC is set to be a voltage VCC1 greater than the sum of the system supply voltage VDD and the threshold voltage VTH, that is, VCC=VCC1>VDD+VTH, and the preset voltage VINIT is set to the voltage VINIT1. As shown in FIG. 2 , the preset voltage VINT is applied to the control terminal of the switch T2 , thereby setting the operating point of the amplifying circuit 142 . Therefore, the value of the voltage VINIT1 can be adjusted according to the actual requirement, so as to operate the amplifying circuit 142 in a proper operating condition. When process variations or element aging cause variations in the threshold voltages VTH of the switches T1 and T2 , the reliability of the amplifying unit 140 can be improved by adjusting the preset voltage VINIT and the preset voltage VCC.

举例而言,比较器100可应用于触控面板的感测电路中。在正常操作时,经由上述的电压设置,开关T2操作于饱和区,而开关T1操作于线性区,因此开关T2的电流IDS2与开关T1的电流IDS1可分别表示为下式(1)与式(2),其中β为开关T1与开关T2的制程参数:For example, the comparator 100 can be applied in a sensing circuit of a touch panel. In normal operation, through the above-mentioned voltage setting, the switch T2 operates in the saturation region, and the switch T1 operates in the linear region, so the current IDS2 of the switch T2 and the current IDS1 of the switch T1 can be expressed as the following formula (1) and formula ( 2), wherein β is the process parameter of switch T1 and switch T2:

IDS2=(β/2)×[(VINT1+VSIG-VSS)-VTH]2…(1)IDS2=(β/2)×[(VINT1+VSIG-VSS)-VTH] 2 …(1)

IDS1=(β/2)×[(VCC1-VOUT)-VTH-1/2(VDD-VOUT)]×(VDD-VOUT)…(2)IDS1=(β/2)×[(VCC1-VOUT)-VTH-1/2(VDD-VOUT)]×(VDD-VOUT)…(2)

在多个触控面板制造完成后,透过对各个面板进行测试,可得知各个面板的元件是否有出现变异。假设因为制程变异,使得其中一个面板所对应的感测电路中的开关T1与开关T2的临界电压VTH相较其他面板的开关T1与开关T2的临界电压VTH产生了偏移值α,其中α可为任意值。此时开关T2的IDS2A与开关T1的电流IDS1A可分别表示为下式(3)与式(4):After the manufacture of multiple touch panels is completed, by testing each panel, it can be known whether there is variation in the components of each panel. Assume that the threshold voltage VTH of the switch T1 and the switch T2 in the sensing circuit corresponding to one of the panels is offset by a value α compared with the threshold voltage VTH of the switch T1 and the switch T2 of the other panel due to process variation, where α can be to any value. At this time, the IDS2A of the switch T2 and the current IDS1A of the switch T1 can be expressed as the following formula (3) and formula (4):

IDS2A=(β/2)×[(VINIT1+VSIG-VSS)-(VTH+α)]2…(3)IDS2A=(β/2)×[(VINIT1+VSIG-VSS)-(VTH+α)] 2 …(3)

IDS1A=(β/2)×[(VCC1-VOUT)-(VTH+α)-1/2(VDD-VOUT)]×(VDD-VOUT)…(4)IDS1A=(β/2)×[(VCC1-VOUT)-(VTH+α)-1/2(VDD-VOUT)]×(VDD-VOUT)…(4)

上述偏移值α可藉由自动测试设备对各个面板进行各种电性参数(例如电压、电流、临界电压等等)量测而得知。为了避免制程变异造成放大单元120的电压增益Q偏移或操作失效,于此实施例中,可将预设电压VINT设置为电压VINT1与偏移值α的总和,亦即VINT=VINT1+α,并将预设电压VCC设置为电压VCC1与偏移值α的总和,亦即VCC=VCC1+α。将调整后的预设电压VINT与预设电压VCC再次带入上述的式(3)与式(4),可得到原先的式(1)与式(2)。也就是说,藉由上述的配置,可改善制程变异或元件老化对开关T1与开关T2带来的影响,进而使开关T1与开关T2可保持稳定的操作电流。上述调整电压的操作,可藉由自动化测试设备或控制器所完成,但本发明内容并不以此为限。The above-mentioned offset value α can be obtained by measuring various electrical parameters (such as voltage, current, threshold voltage, etc.) of each panel by automatic test equipment. In order to prevent the voltage gain Q of the amplifying unit 120 from shifting or operating ineffective due to process variation, in this embodiment, the preset voltage VINT can be set as the sum of the voltage VINT1 and the offset value α, that is, VINT=VINT1+α, And the preset voltage VCC is set as the sum of the voltage VCC1 and the offset value α, that is, VCC=VCC1+α. Bringing the adjusted preset voltage VINT and the preset voltage VCC into the above equations (3) and (4) again, the original equations (1) and (2) can be obtained. That is to say, through the above configuration, the influence of process variation or component aging on the switch T1 and the switch T2 can be improved, so that the switch T1 and the switch T2 can maintain a stable operating current. The above operation of adjusting the voltage can be completed by automatic testing equipment or a controller, but the content of the present invention is not limited thereto.

The first terminal of the switch T2 is electrically coupled to the second terminal of the switch T1, and the second terminal of the switch T2 is used for receiving the system supply voltage VSS, and the control terminal of the switch T2 is used for receiving the difference signal VSIG. The first terminal of the switch T3 is used to receive the preset voltage VCC, and the control terminal of the switch T3 is also used to receive the preset voltage VCC. The first terminal of the switch T4 is electrically coupled to the second terminal of the switch T3, the second terminal of the switch T4 is used to receive the preset voltage VEE, and the control terminal of the switch T4 is electrically coupled to the second terminal of the switch T1, that is, the switch The control terminals of T4 are electrically coupled to the second terminal of the switch T1 and the first terminal of the switch T2. The first end of the switch T5 is used to receive the system supply voltage VDD, the second end of the switch T5 is used to generate the output signal VOUT, and the control end of the switch T5 is electrically coupled to the second end of the switch T3, that is, the control end of the switch T5 Both are electrically coupled to the second terminal of the switch T3 and the first terminal of the switch T4. The first terminal of the switch T6 is electrically coupled to the second terminal of the switch T5, the second terminal of the switch T6 is used to receive the preset voltage VEE, and the control terminal of the switch T6 is electrically coupled to the control terminal of the switch T4, that is, the switch T6 The control terminals of the switches are electrically coupled to the control terminal of the switch T4, the second terminal of the switch T1 and the first terminal of the switch T2.

在正常操作下,预设电压VEE设置为大于等于供应电压VSS与临界电压VTH的和的电压VEE1,亦即电压VEE1≧VSS+VTH,以使开关T3、开关T4与开关T6皆操作于饱和区。因此开关T3的电流IDS3、开关T4的电流IDS4与开关T6的电流IDS6可分别表示为下式(5)、式(6)与式(7),其中β为开关T1~T6的制程参数,VS1为开关T1的第二端的电压,VS3为开关T3的第二端的电压:Under normal operation, the preset voltage VEE is set to be greater than or equal to the voltage VEE1 equal to the sum of the supply voltage VSS and the threshold voltage VTH, that is, the voltage VEE1≧VSS+VTH, so that the switches T3, T4 and T6 all operate in the saturation region . Therefore, the current IDS3 of the switch T3, the current IDS4 of the switch T4, and the current IDS6 of the switch T6 can be respectively expressed as the following equations (5), (6) and (7), where β is the process parameter of the switches T1 ~ T6, VS1 VS3 is the voltage at the second terminal of switch T3:

IDS3=(β/2)×[(VCC1-VS3)-VTH]2…(5)IDS3=(β/2)×[(VCC1-VS3)-VTH] 2 …(5)

IDS4=(β/2)×[(VS1-VEE1)-VTH]2…(6)IDS4=(β/2)×[(VS1-VEE1)-VTH] 2 …(6)

IDS6=(β/2)×[(VS1-VEE1)-VTH]2…(7)IDS6=(β/2)×[(VS1-VEE1)-VTH] 2 …(7)

若感测电路中的多个开关T1~T6的临界电压VTH因制程变异产生偏移值α,此时开关T3的IDS3A、开关T4的电流IDS4A与流经开关T6的电流IDS6A可分别表示为下式(8)、式(9)与式(10):If the threshold voltage VTH of multiple switches T1-T6 in the sensing circuit produces an offset value α due to process variation, then the IDS3A of the switch T3, the current IDS4A of the switch T4, and the current IDS6A flowing through the switch T6 can be respectively expressed as follows Formula (8), formula (9) and formula (10):

IDS3A=(β/2)×[(VCC1-VS3)-(VTH+α)]2…(8)IDS3A=(β/2)×[(VCC1-VS3)-(VTH+α)] 2 …(8)

IDS4A=(β/2)×[(VS1-VEE1)-(VTH+α)]2…(9)IDS4A=(β/2)×[(VS1-VEE1)-(VTH+α)] 2 …(9)

IDS6A=(β/2)×[(VS1-VEE1)-(VTH+α)]2…(10)IDS6A=(β/2)×[(VS1-VEE1)-(VTH+α)] 2 …(10)

同样地,为了避免制程变异的影响,可将预设电压VCC设置为电压VCC1与偏移值α的总和,亦即VCC=VCC1+α,并将预设电压VEE设置为电压VEE1与偏移值α的差值,亦即VEE=VEE1-α。将调整后的预设电压VCC与预设电压VEE再次带入上述的式(8)、式(9)与式(10),可得到原先的式(5)、式(6)与式(7)。Similarly, in order to avoid the influence of process variation, the preset voltage VCC can be set as the sum of the voltage VCC1 and the offset value α, that is, VCC=VCC1+α, and the preset voltage VEE can be set as the voltage VEE1 and the offset value The difference of α, ie VEE=VEE1-α. Bringing the adjusted preset voltage VCC and preset voltage VEE into the above formula (8), formula (9) and formula (10) again, the original formula (5), formula (6) and formula (7) can be obtained ).

由于开关T1与开关T2与先前放大单元200类似,其操作电流的关系亦相同于前述的式(1)~式(4),故于此不再赘述。藉由上述的多个预设电压的配置方式,可有效地改善开关T1、开关T2、开关T3、开关T4与开关T6受到变异的影响。Since the switch T1 and the switch T2 are similar to the previous amplifying unit 200 , and the relationship between their operating currents is also the same as the aforementioned equations (1) to (4), so it will not be repeated here. Through the arrangement of the above-mentioned plurality of preset voltages, the effects of variations on the switches T1 , T2 , T3 , T4 and T6 can be effectively improved.

图3B为根据本发明内容的一实施例绘示图3A的放大单元300在预设电压调整前的电压增益Q与差值信号VSIG的关系曲线图。图3C为根据本发明内容的一实施例绘示图3A的放大单元300在预设电压调整后的电压增益Q与差值信号VSIG的关系曲线图。FIG. 3B is a graph illustrating the relationship between the voltage gain Q and the difference signal VSIG of the amplifying unit 300 in FIG. 3A before the preset voltage is adjusted according to an embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 3C is a graph illustrating the relationship between the voltage gain Q and the difference signal VSIG of the amplifying unit 300 in FIG. 3A after the preset voltage is adjusted according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

请一并参照图3A与图3B,其中假设上述的偏移值α分别为+3V、+2V、+1V、-1V、-2V与-3V。如图3A所示,在预设电压VINIT、预设电压VCC与预设电压VEE尚未进行调整前,若多个开关T1~T6产生变异,会让放大单元300的电压增益Q产生约2~10的变动。若当放大单元300的电压增益Q过大,可能会使输出信号VOUT过饱和,而使触控面板的感测电路的操作失效。Please refer to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B together, where it is assumed that the above offset values α are +3V, +2V, +1V, -1V, -2V and -3V respectively. As shown in FIG. 3A, before the preset voltage VINIT, the preset voltage VCC and the preset voltage VEE are not adjusted, if the plurality of switches T1-T6 vary, the voltage gain Q of the amplifying unit 300 will be about 2-10. changes. If the voltage gain Q of the amplifying unit 300 is too large, the output signal VOUT may be oversaturated, and the operation of the sensing circuit of the touch panel may fail.

相反地,如图3C所示,在预设电压VINIT、VCC与VEE进行调整后,可看出放大单元300的电压增益Q因制程变异的影响所产生变化范围明显变小,电压增益Q皆可稳定落约在6~7的数值范围。On the contrary, as shown in FIG. 3C , after the preset voltages VINIT, VCC and VEE are adjusted, it can be seen that the variation range of the voltage gain Q of the amplifying unit 300 is significantly reduced due to the influence of process variation, and the voltage gain Q can be used. Stable falls in the numerical range of about 6-7.

请参照图4,图4为根据本发明内容的一实施例绘示一种放大单元400的示意图。相较于图3A中的放大单元300,放大单元400的开关T3的第一端设置以接收系统供应电压VDD。于此例中,开关T3改操作于线性区,而达到不同的电压增益Q的应用。其中,放大单元400内的其余元件与其相关操作与上述图2与图3A所示的实施例类似,故相关描述于此不再重复赘述。Please refer to FIG. 4 , which is a schematic diagram illustrating an amplification unit 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Compared with the amplifying unit 300 in FIG. 3A , the first end of the switch T3 of the amplifying unit 400 is configured to receive the system supply voltage VDD. In this example, the switch T3 is changed to operate in the linear region to achieve the application of different voltage gains Q. Wherein, the rest of the elements in the amplifying unit 400 and their related operations are similar to the above-mentioned embodiments shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3A , so related descriptions are not repeated here.

若当制程产生变异,开关T3的电流IDS3可表示为下式(11):If the manufacturing process varies, the current IDS3 of the switch T3 can be expressed as the following formula (11):

IDS3=(β/2)×[(VCC-VS3)-(VTH+α)-1/2(VDD-VS3)]×(VDD-VS3)…(11)IDS3=(β/2)×[(VCC-VS3)-(VTH+α)-1/2(VDD-VS3)]×(VDD-VS3)…(11)

同样地,预设电压VCC可设置为电压VCC1与偏移值α的总和,亦即VCC=VCC1+α,而降低电流IDS3的变异。Likewise, the preset voltage VCC can be set as the sum of the voltage VCC1 and the offset value α, that is, VCC=VCC1+α, so as to reduce the variation of the current IDS3 .

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating an application of a light sensing system 500 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The light sensor 501 and the light sensor 502 can be photodiodes, photoresistors and the like. The light sensor 501 is used to detect the light intensity of the environment to be measured to generate an input signal VIN1. The photomask 503 is disposed on the light sensor 502, so that the light sensor 502 only detects the background noise of the environment to be tested to output the input signal VIN2. In this way, by using the output signal VOUT output by the comparator 100 , the light intensity after filtering the background noise can be obtained. Wherein, the operation of the sampling unit (for example: the sampling unit 120 in FIG. 1A ) and the amplification unit (for example: the amplification unit 140 in FIG. 1A ) is the same as that of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A , so the related description will not be repeated.

FIG. 6 is an application schematic diagram of a Hall sensing device 600 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The Hall element 601 is used to generate an input signal VIN1 and an input signal VIN2 with different values according to the current IF1 and the current IF2 . When the output signal VOUT is larger, it means that the voltage difference between the input signal VIN1 and the input signal VIN2 is larger, that is, the magnetic field generated by the current IF1 and the current IF2 is larger. In this way, the strength of the magnetic field generated at both ends of the Hall element 100 can be measured by the comparator 100 .
