[0002] With the development of aircraft power supply technology, high-precision, reliable, and safe signal detection plays an increasingly important role in system control and protection. In 270V high-voltage DC power supply systems, the traditional method for detecting feeder current is the current sampling method based on Hall effect sensors. Hall effect sensors have advantages such as high measurement accuracy, good linearity, and high reliability. They can achieve isolated current measurement, preventing the influence of high voltage on downstream circuits and ensuring safe current detection.

[0032] Working principle: Figure 1 The shunt-based current detection circuit generates a weak voltage of tens of millivolts after the 270V feeder current passes through shunt R1. This voltage is then filtered by a differential low-pass filter circuit composed of R1, R4, and C6 to remove noise from the differential input voltage before entering a sampling circuit composed of a U1 (INA170) current monitoring chip. This chip is a single-supply chip that converts differential input voltage into current output and can detect the bidirectional current of the feeder through a reference voltage input pin. The output current of the U1 chip flows through a Q1 P-MOS transistor to resistor R7, converting it into a voltage signal. The drain and source of the Q1 P-MOS transistor can withstand a negative voltage of 450V and prevents high voltages from passing through subsequent circuits. The voltage signal across resistor R7 is then filtered by a non-inverting follower buffer circuit composed of a U3A operational amplifier to improve the signal's driving capability. After being filtered by a low-pass filter circuit composed of R10 and C10, it can be directly sent to the DSP's AD sampling port for easy current monitoring by the microprocessor.
[0033] Since the line voltage is 270V, while the INA170 common-mode input voltage range is (2.7~60)V, direct use will damage the chip. To improve the common-mode input voltage range and facilitate the detection of the 270V feeder current, this invention designs a floating ground reference circuit, such as... Figure 2 As shown. The GND reference pin can be floated to a high potential as a floating ground reference for the sampling circuit, ensuring that the common-mode input voltage range of the chip is (2.7~60)V.
[0034] Figure 2A U4 (UCC28880DR) buck converter chip generates a floating ground reference 30V lower than the 270V feed line voltage. When the feed line voltage changes, the U4 chip, through a feedback regulation circuit composed of R14, R11, and Q2, consistently outputs a floating ground reference approximately 30V lower than the 270V feed line voltage. Simultaneously, a U2 high-precision voltage reference chip generates a reference voltage 2.5V higher than the floating ground reference, which serves as the external reference voltage input for the U1 current monitoring chip.
