Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of weak signal detection, and in particular, to a weak current acquisition device. Background Art

[0002] With the development of sensors and the continuous improvement of scientific research requirements, the detection of weak current signals has become increasingly important in many fields. The requirements for the accuracy, speed, frequency, etc. of weak current signal detection continue to increase. Most of the research on the processing of weak current signals tends to lower noise and higher sensitivity, but the limitation of insufficient sampling rate on the application fields of weak current detection technology is becoming more and more obvious.

[0003] However, the existing circuit systems for high-speed processing of weak current signals have the disadvantages of low signal processing frequency, overly complex circuit systems that are not easy to manufacture, and low practicality, making it difficult to meet the actual detection requirements. In actual systems such as sensor arrays that require high-speed acquisition and processing of weak current signals, the signals to be detected often have the characteristics of weak signals, large bandwidths, and a large number of signal channels.

[0004] For these requirements, existing weak current amplification circuits such as resistor feedback type and capacitor feedback type circuits have their own limitations and deficiencies. In order to improve the sensitivity of the circuit to detect even weaker current signals, and in order to increase the system bandwidth, a circuit structure with a higher signal processing frequency should be selected. Whether it is a resistor feedback type amplifier circuit or a capacitor feedback type circuit, it should have a very large amplification factor. To meet the requirement of the amplification factor, the resistance value of the feedback resistor of the resistor feedback type amplifier needs to be set very large, but an overly large feedback resistor will have a significant impact on the stability and bandwidth of the circuit system due to the parasitic capacitance of the circuit board, and the high-frequency characteristics will be greatly limited. The output of the integration amplifier circuit is an integration function related to time and cannot process signals at high frequencies. In addition, in order to meet the requirements of the circuit volume in actual applications, the target amplifier circuit system often needs to use a channel selector, an analog switch device, for channel multiplexing to reduce the number of redundant amplifier circuits and thus reduce the complexity of the circuit. The use of the channel selector introduces the influence of factors such as leakage current into the amplifier circuit, and these influencing factors will cause the amplifier circuit to generate excessive fluctuations, making the circuit system more unstable.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0035] The drawings are only for the purpose of showing specific embodiments and are not considered as limitations to the present invention. Throughout the drawings, the same reference signs represent the same components;

[0036] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the weak current acquisition device provided by an embodiment of the present invention;

[0038] Figure 3This is a comparison diagram of the effects of the present invention and a weak current acquisition device without a feedback network. Detailed implementation manners

[0039] The following will specifically describe the preferred embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings form a part of this application and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to explain the principles of the present invention, rather than to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0040] A specific embodiment of the present invention discloses a weak current acquisition device, as Figure 1 shown. A weak current acquisition device includes: an acquisition module, a first-stage amplification module, a second-stage amplification module, and a feedback network; wherein,

[0041] The acquisition module is used to acquire weak current signals and send them to the first-stage amplification module;

[0042] The first-stage amplification module preliminarily amplifies the acquired current signal and then sends it to the second-stage amplification module;

[0043] The second-stage amplification module further amplifies the current signal and then sends it to the signal processing terminal;

[0044] Both ends of the feedback network are respectively connected to the input end and the output end of the second-stage amplification module, and are used to adjust the gain of the second-stage amplification module.

[0045] It should be noted that weak current refers to an electrical signal with a very small amplitude, and its amplitude is usually less than 10 -6 A. Weak current signals not only have a weak intensity themselves, but also are often accompanied by a strong noise background in the actual detection environment.

[0046] The acquisition module is used to acquire weak current signals, convert the corresponding physical quantity into a weak current signal through a sensor and collect it, and send it to the first-stage amplification module. The sensor can include a photoelectric sensor, a thermocouple sensor, a strain gauge sensor, etc.

[0047] Furthermore, the second-stage amplification module includes an operational amplifier and a limiter connected in series; one end of the feedback network is connected to the inverting input end of the operational amplifier, and the other end of the feedback network is connected to the output end of the limiter.

[0048] The operational amplifier of the second-stage amplification module further amplifies the input signal, and its amplification multiple can be determined according to the feedback network and its own gain characteristics. The limiter performs a limiting process on the output signal of the operational amplifier to prevent an excessive signal amplitude from causing adverse effects on the subsequent circuit.

[0049] The feedback network includes a first feedback resistor R 1 , a second feedback resistor R 2 , a main feedback resistor R dand feedback capacitor C c ; wherein, the feedback capacitor C c is in parallel with the main feedback resistor R d ; one connection point of the feedback capacitor C c and the main feedback resistor R d serves as one end of the feedback network and is connected to the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier. One end of the first feedback resistor R 1 is connected to the other connection point of the feedback capacitor C c and the main feedback resistor R d , and the other end is connected to the bias voltage source; one end of the second feedback resistor R 2 is connected to the other connection point of the feedback capacitor C c and the main feedback resistor R d , and the other end is connected to the output terminal of the limiter R 3 and serves as the other end of the feedback network.

[0050] The value selection of the main feedback resistor R d needs to be set by comprehensively considering the gain required by the two-stage amplification module, the stability of the circuit, and the signal amplitude range, and can be selected according to the actual amplification effect and system performance during the debugging process. The value of the first feedback resistor R1 is determined by the design requirements of the feedback network, and the ratio of the second feedback resistor R2 to the first feedback resistor R1 determines the gain of the second-stage amplification module. The use of the T-shaped network allows for more flexible setting of the system bandwidth while increasing the gain of the differential amplifier, without relying too much on the parameter selection of the feedback capacitor Cc and the main feedback resistor Rd. This design method relaxes the requirements for Cc and Rd, making the adjustment of the bandwidth more flexible. The feedback capacitor C c is in parallel with the main feedback resistor R d and is used to adjust the frequency response characteristics of the feedback network. The selection of the capacitance value will affect the high-frequency gain and cut-off frequency of the circuit. When a wide frequency band is required, a smaller capacitance value can be selected; when a narrow frequency band is required, a larger capacitance value can be selected.

[0051] The feedback capacitor C c is in parallel with the main feedback resistor R d ; one connection point of the feedback capacitor C c and the main feedback resistor R d serves as one end of the feedback network and is connected to the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier in the two-stage amplification module, so that the output signal of the operational amplifier is fed back to its inverting input terminal through the feedback network to achieve negative feedback, which can stabilize the gain of the circuit and reduce distortion.

[0052] One end of the first feedback resistor R 1 is connected to the feedback capacitor C c in parallel with the main feedback resistor R dAnother connection point, with the other end connected to a bias voltage source, and the bias voltage source is connected to the first feedback resistor R 1 provides a DC bias for the feedback network, ensuring that the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier is at an appropriate DC potential, enabling it to operate in the normal linear amplification region.

[0053] Furthermore, the second-stage amplification module further includes a differentiation unit. The input terminal of the differentiation unit is connected to the output terminal of the first-stage amplification module for differentiating the output of the first-stage amplification module. The non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier is connected to the bias voltage source, the inverting input terminal is connected to the output terminal of the differentiation unit and one end of the feedback network, and the output terminal is connected to the input terminal of the limiter.

[0054] An operational amplifier is an amplifier with high gain, high input impedance, and low output impedance, which can be used for various analog signal processing operations such as amplification, filtering, and comparison. To make the operational amplifier operate in its linear region, the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier needs to be connected to a suitable bias voltage source, and a voltage regulator chip can be used as the bias voltage source. The inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier is connected to the output terminal of the first-stage amplification module to receive the weak current signal after being amplified and processed by the first stage. The inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier is also connected to one end of the feedback network, that is, the feedback capacitor C c and the main feedback resistor R d at a connection point, and the gain and frequency response of the operational amplifier are controlled by the adjustment of the feedback network. The output terminal of the operational amplifier is connected to the input terminal of the limiter to transmit the amplified signal to the limiter R 3 . The limiter R 3 is used to limit the amplitude of the output of the circuit, and can limit the excessive amplitude caused during the operation of the analog switch while ensuring the normal amplification of the current signal.

[0055] The differentiation unit differentiates the weak current signal that has been integrated and output by the first-stage amplification module. The differentiation process separates the fast-changing information of the signal from the integrated signal, further extracts the rate-of-change information of the signal, and transmits it to the second-stage amplification module.

[0056] The voltage output by the second-stage amplification module is as shown in Equation (1);

[0057]

[0058] where, V out2 is the voltage output by the second-stage amplification module.

[0059] R 1 is the first feedback resistor; R 2 is the second feedback resistor; R d is the main feedback resistor; V Biasis the bias voltage; I in2 is the output current of the first-stage amplification module.

[0060] Further, the first-stage amplification module includes: an operational amplifier and an integration capacitor unit; wherein, one end of the integration capacitor unit is connected to the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier, and the other end is connected to the output terminal of the operational amplifier;

[0061] The non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier is connected to the bias voltage source, the inverting input terminal is connected to the output terminal of the acquisition module, and the output terminal is connected to the input terminal of the differential unit; the differential unit performs differential processing on the voltage output by the operational amplifier, and the output terminal of the differential unit is used as the input terminal of the second-stage amplification module and is connected to the output terminal of the first-stage amplification module.

[0062] The operational amplifier receives the weak current signal output by the acquisition module and performs amplification processing, and the integration capacitor unit performs integration processing on the weak current signal. The input weak current signal is accumulated in time, which can suppress the noise of the weak current signal and convert the current signal into a voltage signal.

[0063] Specifically, the differential unit is the differential capacitor C d ; the integration capacitor unit includes a parallel-connected bias resistor R bias , integration capacitor C f and switch R est ; when the switch R est is disconnected, an integration network is formed, and the integration capacitor C f forms an integration circuit with the inverting input terminal and the output terminal of the operational amplifier to perform integration processing on the weak current signal input by the acquisition module; when the switch R est is closed, the integration capacitor C f discharges, and the circuit enters the reset stage. At this time, the integration circuit does not participate in the amplification of the weak current signal. The size of the integration capacitor C f determines the time constant of the integration, and its selection depends on the required integration effect and the signal frequency range. When the switch R est is closed, the integration circuit starts to work, and the weak current signal input to the operational amplifier passes through the integration capacitor C fIntegrate to form a voltage signal. The integration process accumulates the weak current signal over time and converts it into a voltage signal. The size of the integration capacitor determines the time constant of the integration, and its selection depends on the required integration effect and the signal frequency range. When the switch is closed, the integration circuit starts to work. The weak current signal input to the operational amplifier is integrated through the integration capacitor to form a voltage signal. The integration process accumulates the weak current signal over time and converts it into a voltage signal. To prevent the integration capacitor from being easily saturated due to its small capacitance value and losing its integration function, it needs to be discharged regularly. Therefore, when the integration capacitor reaches a certain voltage level or after a specific time interval, the integration is stopped and the capacitor is discharged by opening the closed switch to ensure that the integration capacitor can continue to perform effective integration operations. In a periodic signal acquisition system, the switch can be closed at the beginning of each period for integration, and the switch is opened at the end of the period to save the integration result.

[0064] The voltage output by the operational amplifier of the first-stage amplification module is as shown in Equation (2):

[0065]

[0066] Among them, V out1 is the voltage output by the operational amplifier of the first-stage amplification module, I in is the current value input by the acquisition module, and C f is the integration capacitor.

[0067] One end of the differential capacitor C d is connected to the output end of the operational amplifier, and the other end is connected to the input end of the second-stage amplification module. The differential capacitor C d performs differential processing on the voltage signal after integration output by the operational amplifier to extract the rate-of-change information of the signal.

[0068] The differential processing of the voltage output by the operational amplifier is as shown in Equation (3);

[0069]

[0070] Among them, I in2 is the output current of the first-stage amplification module, and C d is the differential capacitor.

[0071] The output voltage of the weak current acquisition device is as shown in Equation (4):

[0072]

[0073] Among them, V out is the output voltage of the weak current acquisition device; C d is the differential capacitor; C f is the integration capacitor; R1 is the first feedback resistor; R 2 is the second feedback resistor; R d is the main feedback resistor; V Bias is the bias voltage; I in is the current value input by the acquisition module.

[0074] The above embodiments of the present invention have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0075] The weak current acquisition device of the present invention effectively limits the excessive current pulses generated during the discharge of the integration capacitor caused by factors such as the leakage current of the analog switch by setting a limiting circuit composed of R3 in the secondary amplification module, which helps to accelerate the circuit system's departure from the influence of the capacitor discharge stage, thereby extending the proportion of the stable amplification stage of the input weak current in each cycle of the circuit, and improving the stability and accuracy of the signal. By introducing a T-shaped network composed of Rd, R1, and R2 in the secondary amplification module, more flexible bandwidth and gain adjustment are provided. Before R1 and R2 were introduced in the prior art, the amplification factor of the second stage was almost entirely determined by Rd, and the increase of Rd would increase the amplification factor of the second stage. At the same time, Rd and Cc jointly determined the bandwidth of the second stage. In this application, by setting the T-shaped network, the amplification factor of the second stage is controlled by the resistance ratio of R1 and R2, reducing the requirements for Rd, making the bandwidth of the second stage amplification easier to control, and thus improving the flexibility and adaptability of the circuit. The weak current acquisition device of the present invention reduces the complexity of the circuit by setting an integration unit and a differentiation unit in the primary amplification module and the secondary amplification module. The integration unit consists of a parallel bias resistor, an integration capacitor, and a control switch Rest, and the differentiation unit is provided with a differentiation capacitor, making the circuit design and debugging more convenient. The feedback network includes a first feedback resistor, a second feedback resistor, a main feedback resistor, and a feedback capacitor, increasing the flexibility of the circuit system, enabling it to better adapt to different application requirements, and improving the feasibility and stability in practical applications.

[0076] To further verify the present invention, Figure 2 shows a weak current acquisition device without a feedback network in the prior art. As Figure 3As shown. The weak current acquisition device without a feedback network is sensitive to changes in the input signal. When processing weak current signals, it cannot effectively suppress noise and interference. The gain of the circuit is unstable and is easily affected by changes in component parameters and external interference. There are obvious fluctuations in the waveform of the voltage output value. There are obvious fluctuations in the waveform of the voltage output value, especially at the marked nodes, and there are peaks and valleys with excessive amplitude fluctuations in the waveform diagram, indicating that the existing technology lacks anti-interference ability and cannot maintain the original characteristics of weak current signals, resulting in signal distortion during the acquisition process, thereby affecting the utilization efficiency of the entire system for weak current signals. The waveform of the present application can maintain a relatively regular and smooth output, with uniform changes in shape and amplitude, ensuring the quality and analyzability of the signal and reducing signal distortion.

[0077] The above are only the preferred specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
