[0002] With the increasing requirements of electrical equipment for power supply quality, safety, reliability, convenience, immediacy, special occasions, special geographical environments, etc., the contact power transmission method is increasingly unable to meet actual needs; wireless chargers are devices that use the principle of electromagnetic induction for charging. Its principle is similar to that of transformers. By placing a coil at the sending and receiving ends, the sending coil sends an electromagnetic signal to the outside world under the action of electricity, and the receiving coil receives the electromagnetic signal and converts it into current, thereby achieving the purpose of wireless charging. Wireless charging technology is a special power supply method. It does not require a power cord to transmit energy between it and the load. It relies on electromagnetic wave propagation, and then converts the electromagnetic wave energy into electrical energy, ultimately achieving wireless charging.

[0003] The current wireless charger has two communication modulation signals, such as Figure 1 As shown, the usual technology is that each operational amplifier or comparator only processes one signal, and two signals need two independent operational amplifiers or comparators to process; this leads to many components, large space occupation, high cost and other problems; therefore, it is necessary to design a composite multi-channel demodulation circuit, which can reduce electronic devices, simplify circuit layout, reduce costs, etc. Summary of the invention

[0012] A demodulation method for a composite multi-channel demodulation circuit comprises the following steps:

[0013] S1: connecting to a first signal source through the first signal source connection terminal, and connecting to a second signal source through the second signal source connection terminal;

[0014] S2: Turn on the first switch and turn off the second switch. At this time, the 3rd pin of the processing chip is grounded, the first signal source is short-circuited to the ground, and the second signal source is isolated by the second capacitor and sent to the 2nd pin input end of the input port of the processing chip. After comparison by the processing chip, the processed signal is obtained at the 1st pin output end of the processing chip, and the signal is sent to the microprocessor for identification and then the corresponding operation is executed;

[0025] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] In this embodiment, the resistor R1 provides a DC path. Since the internal resistance of the two input terminals of the processing chip IC1A is relatively large and the input current is relatively small, the DC voltage drop across the resistor R1 is very small. For the signal source, the resistor R1 is much larger than the internal resistance of the signal source. The signal source generates a relatively large signal voltage on the resistor R1. After the voltage is compared by the processing chip IC1A, the required signal can be output.

[0033] This embodiment has the advantages of using only one processing chip IC1A to complete the selection and processing of two signals, and is particularly suitable for demodulating the modulated signal of a wireless charger.
