Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an automobile engine, in particular to an engine oil pressure gauge driven by a stepping motor for detecting engine oil pressure. Background technique [0002] At present, the output signal of the pressure sensor that detects the engine oil pressure gauge is a voltage signal of -5mV-50mV. Usually, the sampling signal of the microcontroller is a voltage signal of 0-5V, and only positive voltage / current signals are sampled. For the above pressure sensor The output -5mV-50mV voltage signal cannot be directly sampled and quantified by the microcontroller. Therefore, it is necessary to process and amplify the output signal of the pressure sensor so that the circuit output signal is a (0-5V) voltage that the microcontroller can sample. In view of the above situation, the traditional processing method provides a negative power supply for a chip that uses dual power supply or converts from positive power supply to negative power supply...
