Description

Technical Field

[0002] In actual applications, electronic cigarettes use microphone sensors to sense whether the user has a smoking action. The most basic microphone sensor interface generally only has an output interface, a power interface, and a ground interface. However, with the diversification of electronic cigarette products, the requirements for microphone sensors are increasing. For example, during the assembly process of the electronic cigarette, the assembler needs to adjust the parameters of the storage device of the microphone sensor, such as adjusting the inhalation trigger threshold, changing the maximum time setting of the driving heating wire, etc. This requires adding a data communication protocol function and its pins to the microphone sensor to meet the needs of changing the microphone sensor settings.

[0003] The basic requirement of data communication protocol is the transmission of clock / frequency signal and data signal. Currently, the data communication methods used in the market are mostly SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) or I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit).

At the same time, the I2C interface requires 2 pins, including 1-pin clock / frequency pin and 1-pin data pin. The more data communication output pins, the more IC or finished product package pins, which means the cost increases.

[0036] <Sensor Circuit Embodiment>

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , which is a circuit structure diagram of a sensor circuit provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the sensor circuit 10 includes a conversion circuit 110, a signal input interface Verf, a comparison circuit 120, and a latch circuit 130. A first end of the conversion circuit 110 is connected to the SWP interface of the microphone sensor, a second end of the conversion circuit 110 is grounded, a first input end of the comparison circuit 120 is connected to the first end of the conversion circuit 110, a second input end of the comparison circuit 120 is connected to the signal input interface Verf, a first input end of the latch circuit 130 is connected to the output end of the comparison circuit 120, a second input end of the latch circuit 130 is connected to the SWP interface of the microphone sensor, and an output end of the latch circuit 130 is connected to the storage device of the microphone sensor.

[0038] The Single Wire Protocol (SWP) interface of the microphone sensor adopts a single bus communication protocol, using only a single signal line, which can transmit both clock / frequency signals and data information signals, and the data transmission is bidirectional, which has many advantages such as saving I / O pin resources, simple structure, and low cost. The SWP signal representing the parameters to be written transmitted by the host computer can be received through the SWP interface of the microphone sensor.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 In the SWP signal shown, the host computer transmits m data in 1 cycle time, which can be divided into D1 to Dm, where m can be 8-bits or 16-bits data, which is the parameter to be written. On-duty is divided into On-duty1 and On-duty2, and (On-duty2) / (On-duty1)≥n, where n is a natural number or an integer greater than 1, and n can usually be 3. Among them, On-duty1 is a clock / frequency signal, and the detection method of the clock / frequency signal can be that there is a cycle of On-duty1 within a fixed period Period T. Among them, the judgment of whether the transmitted data Data is "0" or Data is "1" is the output of the sensor circuit of the embodiment of the present application. For example, the signal of the single-wire connection protocol SWPOn-duty1 can be judged as a digital signal of "0", and the signal of On-duty2 can be judged as a digital signal of "1". That is to say, through the sensor circuit of the embodiment of the present application, the data transmitted through the single-wire connection protocol SWP can be decoded into a digital signal.

[0040] In this embodiment, the microphone sensor further includes a power interface VCC, an output interface OUT, and a ground interface GND.

[0041] In one example, a SWP interface may be added to the microphone sensor product, and the SWP interface is used exclusively for data communication. For example, the microphone sensor product in the prior art has 3-pins, namely, a power interface VCC, an output interface OUT, and a ground interface GND. The microphone sensor product in the embodiment of the present application has 4-pins, namely, a power interface VCC, an output interface OUT, a ground interface GND, and a data communication interface SWP.

[0042] In one example, the SWP interface and the output interface OUT are the same interface, that is, the SWP interface and the output interface OUT are shared, that is, the number of pins of the microphone sensor remains unchanged, and the product itself has an additional data communication function.

[0043] The conversion circuit 110 is used to output a first voltage signal according to the SWP signal received by the SWP interface 110. Figure 2 , the conversion circuit 130 can be a capacitor.

[0044] In this embodiment, the sensor circuit 10 further includes a current source 140, which is connected between the SWP interface and the first end of the conversion circuit 110. Here, the current source Iswp can be controlled based on the SWP signal to charge the conversion circuit 110, thereby obtaining a first voltage signal Vc and outputting it to the comparison circuit 120. The obtained first voltage signal is referred to Figure 4 The Vc signal is shown.

[0045] The first input terminal of the comparison circuit 120 is used to receive the first voltage signal output by the conversion circuit 110, and the second input terminal of the comparison circuit 120 is used to receive the reference voltage signal input by the signal input terminal Vref. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the method of providing the reference voltage signal. The comparison circuit 120 has the following characteristics: when the voltage at the first input terminal of the comparison circuit 120 is greater than the voltage at its second input terminal, the comparison circuit 120 outputs a logic high level; when the voltage at the first input terminal of the comparison circuit 120 is less than the voltage at its second input terminal, the comparison circuit 120 outputs a logic low level. The comparison circuit 120 is used to compare the first voltage signal with the reference voltage signal to obtain a first comparison signal and output it to the latch circuit 150. The obtained first comparison signal is referenced Figure 4 The CMP-OUT signal is shown.

[0046] The latch circuit 130 is used to compare the first comparison signal with the SWP signal to obtain a digital electrical signal and output it to the storage device. In a specific implementation, the comparison circuit 140 is used to output the digital electrical signal to the storage device in sequence.

[0047] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 The latch circuit 130 includes a first latch 131 and a second latch 132. A first input end of the first latch 131 is connected to an output end of the comparison circuit 120, a second input end of the first latch 131 is connected to a SWP interface, an output end of the first latch 131 is connected to a first input end of the second latch 132, a second input end of the second latch 132 is connected to the SWP interface, and an output end of the second latch 132 is connected to a storage device.

[0048] The first latch 131 is used to compare the first comparison signal with the falling edge of the SWP signal to obtain a second comparison signal and output it to the second latch 132. The obtained second comparison signal refers to Figure 4 L-Out signal shown.

[0049] The second latch 132 is used to compare the second comparison signal with the rising edge of the SWP signal to obtain a digital electrical signal and output it to the storage device. The obtained digital electrical signal refers to Figure 4 The D-Out signal is shown.

[0050] In order to reduce the cost of the microphone sensor and reduce the area of ​​the microphone sensor, the interface of the microphone sensor generally includes a power interface, an output interface, and a ground interface. However, during the assembly process of the electronic cigarette machine, the assemblers often need to adjust the parameters of the storage device of the microphone sensor, such as adjusting the inhalation trigger threshold of the microphone sensor, adjusting the polarity value of the trigger signal of the microphone sensor, changing the maximum time setting of the driving heating wire, etc., and under the limitation of the microphone sensor interface, the assemblers cannot adjust the parameters of the storage device of the microphone sensor. In the embodiment of the present application, in order to realize the data communication function to adjust the parameters of the storage device of the microphone sensor, a SWP interface is added to the microphone sensor. Compared with the I2C interface and the SPI interface, the SWP only uses a single signal line. The microphone sensor includes two parts, a microphone and a chip, and the chip is a detection chip of the microphone sensor. In this embodiment, a sensor circuit is set inside the detection chip, and the sensor circuit is used to achieve the purpose of writing parameters to the storage device of the microphone sensor.

[0051] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4When it is necessary to write parameters to the storage device inside the microphone sensor, the SWP signal representing the parameters to be written transmitted by the host computer can be received through the SWP interface of the microphone sensor. The SWP signal includes not only clock / frequency information, but also parameter information to be written. The current source Iswp is controlled by the SWP signal to charge the capacitor to obtain a first voltage signal Vc and output it to the comparison circuit. The comparison circuit compares the first voltage signal Vc with the reference voltage signal Vref to output a first comparison signal CMP-Out. For example, when the first voltage signal Vc is greater than the reference voltage signal Vref, a logic high level is output, and when the first voltage signal Vc is less than the reference voltage signal Vref, a logic low level is output. The first comparison signal is compared with the falling edge of the SWP signal through the first latch Latch1 to obtain a second comparison signal L-Out. The second comparison signal L-Out is compared with the rising edge of the SWP signal through the second latch Latch2 to obtain a digital electrical signal D-out, and this digital electrical signal D-out is the decoded parameter to be written. For example, after being restored to 010, the digital electrical signal is written into the storage device one by one in chronological order, thus completing the purpose of modifying the parameters of the storage device of the microphone sensor. In other words, the embodiment of the present application proposes an analog single-wire connection protocol SWP decoding circuit, which can save the microphone sensor from adding more pins to increase data communication, thereby saving pin costs and improving product yield.

[0052] According to the embodiment of the present application, the SWP signal representing the parameter to be written is received through the SWP interface of the microphone sensor and transmitted to the sensor circuit, the conversion circuit obtains and outputs the first voltage signal to the comparison circuit according to the SWP signal, the comparison circuit compares the first voltage signal with the reference voltage signal, obtains the first comparison signal and outputs it to the latch circuit, the latch circuit compares the first comparison signal with the SWP signal, obtains the digital electrical signal representing the parameter to be written and inputs it into the storage device of the microphone sensor. With such a setting, the microphone sensor can save more pins to increase data communication, save pin costs and improve product yield.

[0053] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 The comparison circuit 130 is a comparator CMP, a non-inverting input terminal of the comparator CMP is connected to the output terminal of the conversion circuit 110, an inverting input terminal of the comparator CMP is connected to the signal input terminal Vref, and an output terminal of the comparator CMP is connected to the input terminal of the conversion circuit 110.

[0054] The comparator CMP has the following characteristics: when the voltage at the positive input terminal of the comparator CMP is greater than the voltage at its inverting input terminal, the comparator CMP outputs a logic high level; when the voltage at the positive input terminal of the comparator CMP is less than the reference voltage at its inverting input terminal, the comparator CMP outputs a logic low level. When the positive input terminal of the comparator CMP receives a first voltage signal, the comparator CMP generates a logic high level by using the above characteristics of the comparator CMP. Figure 4 The pulse signal CMP-Out shown is, for example, a square wave.

[0055] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 The sensor circuit 10 further includes a reset switch 150, a first end of the reset switch 150 is connected to the SWP interface via the current source 140, and a second end of the reset switch 150 is grounded. The reset switch 150 is used to reset the sensor circuit 10. For example, when the reset switch 150 is in an off state, the parameters to be written can be written into the storage device based on the sensor circuit provided in the embodiment of the present application, that is, the data communication function is realized.
