Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of Hall switch technology, specifically a high-sensitivity temperature-compensated Hall switch device. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of Hall switch technology, high sensitivity and temperature compensation performance have gradually become key requirements in Hall switch applications. However, existing Hall switch devices still have some shortcomings in terms of sensitivity and temperature compensation, affecting their stability and reliability in complex environments.

[0003] Chinese patent CN113411074B discloses a Hall sensor switch and electronic device, including a Hall element, a comparator module, and a temperature compensation module. This technical solution improves the stability of the Hall sensor switch by inputting a compensation current to the first output terminal of the Hall element, making the magnetic field magnitude corresponding to the flipping of the switch control signal output by the comparator module independent of the temperature coefficient of the Hall element's sensitivity. However, this technical solution has the following shortcomings: the temperature compensation module adjusts the output of the Hall element by inputting a compensation current, which may be insufficiently compensated in high-temperature environments, resulting in the stability of the switch control signal still being significantly affected. This solution mainly focuses on the stability of the switch control signal and does not specifically describe the improvement of the Hall switch's sensitivity, thus failing to meet the requirements of high-sensitivity applications.

[0004] Chinese patent CN114094952B discloses a low-temperature drift linear Hall amplifier circuit and its temperature compensation method. The patent describes a low-temperature drift linear Hall amplifier circuit including a temperature sensor, a register, an interpolator, a low-dropout regulator, a Hall device, and a preamplifier. This technical solution automatically adjusts the sensitivity to ±0.5% across the entire temperature range through real-time temperature compensation. Furthermore, after two temperature compensations, the bias voltage of the Hall device is higher than that of the traditional current-mode method, resulting in higher initial sensitivity and a higher signal-to-noise ratio for the linear Hall sensor. However, this technical solution has the following shortcomings: it mainly focuses on the low-temperature drift and sensitivity adjustment of the Hall amplifier circuit, without specifically describing the specific application scenarios and reliability improvements for switching control. The temperature compensation method is relatively complex, requiring multiple components to work together, which may lead to increased cost and decreased reliability.

[0005] The aforementioned problems indicate that existing Hall effect switch devices still have certain shortcomings in terms of temperature compensation accuracy, high sensitivity, and reliable switching control. Therefore, this invention provides a high-sensitivity temperature-compensated Hall effect switch device, aiming to optimize the temperature compensation method, improve the sensitivity and reliability of the Hall effect switch, and meet the high precision and high reliability requirements of modern electronic equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a high-sensitivity temperature-compensated Hall effect switch device.

[0030] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0031] 1.

[0049] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below, but the scope of protection is not limited to what is described.

[0050] Example

[0051] Taking the typical application scenario of automotive engine magnetic field detection as an example, referring to Figures 1 to 10

[0052] This high-sensitivity temperature-compensated Hall switch device consists of a Hall switch module 1, a temperature compensation module 2, a signal processing module 3, and a power management module 4. These modules are interconnected through a carefully designed circuit to collaboratively complete the tasks of magnetic field detection and signal processing.

[0053] The Hall switch module 1 serves as the source of magnetic field signal induction. Its output is connected to the input of the filter 31 of the signal processing module 3 via a signal line, transmitting the pre-processed magnetic field induction signal to the signal processing module 3. Meanwhile, the temperature detection element 14 in the Hall switch module 1 is connected to the compensation controller 22 of the temperature compensation module 2 via a dedicated signal line, providing real-time temperature data for temperature compensation.

[0054] The compensation controller 22 of the temperature compensation module 2 is connected to the compensation element 23 via a circuit. Based on the received temperature data, the compensation parameters are calculated by looking up a table or formula to perform temperature compensation on the Hall switch module 1.

[0055] After receiving the signal from the Hall switch module 1, the signal processing module 3 filters the signal through the filter 31 and processes it through the logic control unit 32, finally outputting the processed signal. The gain adjustment module 33 is connected to both the preamplifier 12 and the logic control unit 32, and dynamically adjusts the gain of the preamplifier 12 according to the instructions of the logic control unit 32 and the output signal of the preamplifier 12.

[0056] The power management module 4 is connected to the Hall switch module 1, temperature compensation module 2, and signal processing module 3 via a power line to provide power support for the main power supply 41 and the backup power supply 42. The main and backup power supplies are switched through the power switching device 43. The low power management module 44 monitors the device's operating status in real time and reasonably controls the power supply and power consumption.

[0057] Hall switch module 1

[0058] The Hall element 11 is installed in the magnetic field detection area to detect external magnetic field signals. Employing a high-sensitivity Hall chip, it can keenly sense changes in the external magnetic field and convert them into a weak electrical signal based on the Hall effect. In automotive engine magnetic field detection applications, the Hall element 11 is installed close to the engine's magnetic field source, in a location where it can effectively sense changes in the magnetic field. From... Figure 2 As can be clearly seen in the detailed structural diagram of the Hall switch module shown, the Hall element 11 is located at the bottom layer of the module.

[0059] To ensure signal quality during transmission, a preamplifier 12 is connected above the Hall element 11 via a low-noise, high-gain operational amplifier. This connection method guarantees the quality of weak electrical signals during transmission, as the operational amplifier amplifies the signal while suppressing noise interference. In the actual circuit board layout, the preamplifier 12 is positioned close to the Hall element 11 above it to shorten the signal transmission path and reduce signal loss. This operational amplifier has a voltage noise density as low as 1.3 nV / Hz, a current noise density of 0.8 pA / Hz, and a voltage gain of up to 1000 times, effectively amplifying weak signals while suppressing noise interference to the greatest extent possible.

[0060] A comparator 13 is connected above the preamplifier 12 to compare the amplified signal with a preset threshold. That is, the preamplifier 12 initially amplifies the weak signal output by the Hall element 11 and transmits it to the comparator 13. The comparator 13 has a precise preset threshold set inside. When the received amplified signal exceeds the threshold, it can generate a switch control signal at an extremely fast speed, such as a response time of only 0.5μs.

[0061] In addition, such as Figure 6 The diagram shows the integrated structure of the temperature sensing element and temperature sensor of the present invention. To achieve accurate temperature compensation, the Hall switch module 1 also includes a temperature sensing element 14 integrated with the temperature sensor 21. The two are tightly fitted together with the Hall element 11, enabling real-time and accurate monitoring of the operating temperature of the Hall element 11. The temperature sensing element 14 has a measurement range of -40℃ to 125℃, with an accuracy of ±0.2℃, and transmits the real-time temperature data stably to the compensation controller 22 via a dedicated signal line.

[0062] Temperature compensation module 2

[0063] Temperature sensor 21 is mounted close to Hall element 11, such as Figure 3 The diagram shows a detailed structural schematic of the temperature compensation module of the present invention. The temperature sensor 21 is positioned close to the Hall element 11, which allows for rapid and accurate detection of the ambient temperature around the Hall element 11.

[0064] The compensation controller 22 is connected to the temperature sensor 21 and the compensation element 23 via a circuit. The compensation controller 22 is usually placed close to the temperature sensor 21 and the compensation element 23 to reduce signal transmission delay and ensure that the parameters of the compensation element 23 can be adjusted in a timely manner according to the temperature data to achieve temperature compensation.

[0065] The compensation element 23 includes a variable resistor 231 and a variable capacitor 232. The resistance of the variable resistor 231 can be adjusted from 100 ohms to 10,000 ohms, and the capacitance of the variable capacitor 232 can be adjusted from 1pF to 100pF. They are connected in parallel to the output terminal of the Hall element 11 and the input terminal of the preamplifier 12, respectively, to adjust the output signal of the Hall element 11 and the gain of the preamplifier 12, thereby realizing the dynamic adjustment of the electrical characteristics of the Hall switch module 1 and effectively compensating for the influence of temperature changes on the performance of the Hall element.

[0066] The compensation controller 22 also includes an adaptive compensation algorithm module 24, which is connected to the DSP via a data bus. The adaptive compensation algorithm module 24 is used to dynamically adjust the compensation parameters based on the output signal and temperature data of the Hall element 11 to achieve more accurate temperature compensation.

[0067] The compensation controller 22 is implemented using a digital signal processor (DSP). After acquiring the real-time temperature data from the temperature sensor 21, the DSP can calculate the compensation parameters in the following ways: 1. Lookup table method: A temperature-compensation parameter correspondence table is pre-established in the DSP's memory. This table is obtained during the product development phase by testing the Hall element at different temperatures and recording the optimal compensation parameters for each temperature point. When the DSP receives the real-time temperature data from the temperature sensor 21, it will look up the temperature value closest to the current temperature in the table and then directly call the corresponding compensation parameters. For example, if the current temperature is 25℃, the table will find a set of variable resistor values ​​and variable capacitor values ​​corresponding to 25℃; this set of values ​​is the compensation parameter to be output. 2. Formula method: A mathematical model is established based on the temperature characteristics of the Hall element to obtain the functional relationship between the compensation parameters and the temperature. Assuming that the output deviation of the Hall element is linearly related to the temperature, the formula can be established: C = aT + b, where C is the compensation parameter, which can be the variable resistor value or the variable capacitor value, etc., T is the real-time temperature measured by the temperature sensor 21, and a and b are coefficients obtained by fitting experimental data. Once the DSP acquires the temperature T, it substitutes it into the formula to calculate the corresponding compensation parameter C. If the actual temperature characteristics are more complex, a more complex function form, such as a polynomial, can be used. After calculating the compensation parameter, the DSP outputs an analog signal through a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), which then adjusts the values ​​of the variable resistor 231 and the variable capacitor 232 to achieve temperature compensation. The temperature sensor 21 has a measurement range of -40℃ to 125℃ and an accuracy of ±0.5℃; the compensation controller 22 has a response time of 10ms.

[0068] The adaptive compensation algorithm module 24 monitors the output signal of the Hall element 11 in real time and combines it with the temperature data from the temperature sensor to calculate the optimal compensation parameters using a fitting algorithm. The specific process is as follows: 1. Data collection and preprocessing. First, the output signal value sequence {S} of the Hall element 11 is continuously collected over a certain period of time. i}(i=1,2,…,n) and the corresponding temperature value sequence {T i Since the collected data may contain noise, it needs to be filtered first, for example, using median filtering or Gaussian filtering, to remove outliers and high-frequency noise, resulting in a smoother data sequence. 2. Establish a fitting model. Assuming that the Hall element output signal S has a certain functional relationship with temperature T, S = f(T), common fitting models include linear models (f(T) = aT + b) and polynomial models, such as the quadratic polynomial f(T) = aT 2+bT+c, etc. Based on the characteristics of the Hall element and experience, a suitable model is initially selected. If uncertain, multiple models can be tried. 3. Solving for model parameters. The model parameters are solved using methods such as the least squares method. Taking a linear model as an example, the goal of the least squares method is to find parameters a and b such that... Minimize. By taking the partial derivatives of this equation with respect to a and b respectively and setting them to 0, we can obtain a system of equations with respect to a and b. Solving the system of equations will give us the parameters of the fitted line. For more complex models, based on the principle of least squares, iterative algorithms, such as gradient descent, are used to continuously adjust the parameters to minimize the error between the model output and the actual data. 4. Calculate the optimal compensation parameters. After obtaining the fitted model, based on the current real-time temperature T... cur Substitute the values ​​into the model to calculate the theoretical output signal value S of the Hall element at the current temperature. theory S theory With respect to the actual output signal value T cur By comparing the deviation and considering the influence of compensation components 23 (variable resistors, variable capacitors, etc.) on the Hall element output signal, the optimal compensation parameters (variable resistor values, variable capacitor values, etc.) are calculated to make the actual output signal approach the theoretical output signal. After calculating the optimal compensation parameters, an analog signal is output through a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to adjust the value of compensation component 23. The adaptive compensation algorithm module 24 has an update frequency of 1Hz and a compensation accuracy of ±0.1%, ensuring stable and accurate performance of the device even in complex and variable temperature environments.

[0069] Signal processing module 3

[0070] The input of filter 31 is connected to the output of comparator 13. Filter 31 is typically located near comparator 13, allowing it to directly receive the signal output from comparator 13 and perform filtering to remove noise and interference. Figure 4 As can be seen from the detailed structural diagram of the signal processing module of the present invention, the filter 31 and the comparator 13 are closely connected in the signal transmission path.

[0071] The input terminal of the logic control unit 32 is connected to the output terminal of the filter 31. The logic control unit 32 is located after the filter 31. It receives the filtered signal, performs logic operations and control, and generates the final switch control signal.

[0072] Filter 31 adopts a classic second-order low-pass filter circuit structure, with the cutoff frequency precisely set to 1kHz, passband ripple controlled within 0.1dB, and stopband attenuation reaching 40dB / dec. Through this parameter design, filter 31 can efficiently filter out high-frequency noise and interference in the output signal of comparator 13, outputting a clean and stable switching control signal;

[0073] The logic control unit 32 uses high-performance CMOS logic circuits with an extremely short response time of only 1ns. This unit performs logical operations and processes the signal output from the filter 31, and generates a precise and reliable final switching control signal according to preset logic rules to meet the control requirements of different application scenarios.

[0074] The gain adjustment module 33 connects the preamplifier 12 and the logic control unit 32. The gain adjustment module 33 dynamically adjusts the gain of the preamplifier 12 based on the output signal strength of the Hall element 11, thereby improving the sensitivity of the Hall switch. The gain adjustment module 33 acquires the output signal of the preamplifier 12 in real time via an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and calculates the optimal gain value using a digital signal processor (DSP). An analog signal is output via a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to adjust the gain of the preamplifier 12. The gain adjustment module 33 has an adjustment range of 1 to 100 and an adjustment accuracy of ±0.1, enabling it to automatically and accurately optimize the amplification factor based on the input signal strength, significantly improving the Hall switch's processing capability and sensitivity to signals of different intensities.

[0075] Power Management Module 4

[0076] The main power supply 41 is connected to the mains power, and the backup power supply 42 is a lithium battery. The main power supply 41 and the backup power supply 42 are connected through a power switching device 43.

[0077] After the main power supply 41 is connected to the mains power, it undergoes a series of circuit processes including rectification, filtering, and voltage regulation to output a stable 5V±5% DC voltage, providing the main power support for the normal operation of the device. The backup power supply 42 uses a high-energy-density lithium battery, with an output voltage stable at 5V±1%. In the event of a failure or power outage of the main power supply 41, it can provide reliable temporary power to the device in a timely manner, ensuring the continuous operation of the device.

[0078] The power switching device 43 is based on a bidirectional MOSFET switch with a switching time of less than 100μs. It can quickly and seamlessly switch to the backup power supply 42 the moment the main power supply 41 is de-energized, ensuring uninterrupted power supply to each module and maintaining stable operation of the device.

[0079] The low-power management module 44 monitors the output signal status of comparator 13 in Hall switch module 1 in real time. When the output signal of comparator 13 indicates that the Hall switch is in a non-operating state, the low-power management module 44 immediately starts and automatically cuts off the power supply to signal processing module 3 and part of Hall switch module 1. The module itself has extremely low power consumption, only 10μW. Under its control, the overall power consumption of the device after entering low-power mode is reduced to 100μW, effectively extending the battery life of backup power supply 42 and improving the energy utilization efficiency of the device.

[0080] Operating principle and operating process

[0081] Taking the typical application scenario of automotive engine magnetic field detection as an example, when the car starts, the main power supply 41 starts supplying power, and each module begins to work. The Hall element 11 detects the change in the magnetic field in the engine and outputs a weak electrical signal. The preamplifier 12 amplifies the electrical signal and transmits it to the comparator 13. The comparator 13 compares the amplified signal with a preset threshold to generate a preliminary switching control signal.

[0082] Simultaneously, temperature sensor 21 and temperature detection element 14 detect the ambient temperature around Hall element 11 in real time and transmit the temperature data to compensation controller 22. Based on the temperature data, compensation controller 22 calculates the optimal compensation parameters using a lookup table or formula, and adjusts the values ​​of variable resistor 231 and variable capacitor 232 by outputting an analog signal from a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), thereby adjusting the output signal of Hall element 11 and the gain of preamplifier 12. When the temperature changes, adaptive compensation algorithm module 24 dynamically adjusts the compensation parameters to ensure that the Hall switch maintains a stable output signal under different temperatures.

[0083] Filter 31 filters out noise and interference signals from the switching control signal output by comparator 13 and transmits the clean switching control signal to logic control unit 32. Logic control unit 32 performs logic processing on the filtered switching control signal to generate the final switching control signal.

[0084] In addition, the gain adjustment module 33 detects the output signal of the preamplifier 12 in real time through the digital-to-analog converter DAC, calculates the optimal gain value through the DSP, and adjusts the gain of the preamplifier 12 by outputting an analog signal through the digital-to-analog converter DAC to improve the sensitivity of the Hall switch.

[0085] If the main power supply 41 fails while the vehicle is in motion, the power switching device 43 automatically switches to the backup power supply 42 to ensure the normal operation of all modules. When the vehicle is parked or in a non-operating state such as when the Hall switch is not in use, the low-power management module 44 intervenes in time to shut down unnecessary modules, reduce device power consumption, and extend the battery life of the backup power supply 42.
