[0002] In traditional industrial applications, when input signals are of different types, such as current or voltage, separate front-end processing circuits are typically required to convert the current and voltage signals into the input range required by the ADC. Consequently, current and voltage signal detection typically require different physical input ports. This results in inconsistent numbers of voltage and current detection ports within the signal detection circuit, making it difficult to allocate channels for both signal detection when designing universal data acquisition cards. Therefore, a port processing circuit capable of multiplexing two different input signals is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a current and voltage signal detection port multiplexing circuit, a signal input port for inputting a detection signal; the detection signal includes a current signal or a voltage signal;

[0030] a switch control circuit, configured to generate a level control signal according to the detection signal;

[0031] A first switch, configured to enable and control switching of a transconductance loop of the operational amplifier circuit according to the level control signal;

[0032] a third switch, configured to select a bias voltage for the operational amplifier circuit according to the level control signal;

[0033] The operational amplifier circuit performs operational amplification on the detection signal and outputs a voltage signal after the enable control switching and the bias voltage selection.

[0034] Specifically, the first switch is an analog switch K1A, and the third switch is an analog switch K2. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, a schematic diagram of a current and voltage signal detection port multiplexing circuit is given; Figure 2 In the example, the operational amplifier circuit includes a transconductance operational amplifier U1, a resistor R0, a resistor R1, a resistor R2, a resistor R3, a resistor R6, and a resistor R7; the operational amplifier circuit includes three loops:

[0035] Loop 1: The transconductance loop is composed of resistor R0 and transconductance operational amplifier U1;

[0036] Loop 2: The feedback loop is composed of resistors R1, R2, R3 and transconductance operational amplifier U1;

[0037] Loop 3: The bias loop is composed of R6, R7, and transconductance operational amplifier U1.

[0038] The resistance values ​​of the resistor R7 and the resistor R1 are equal.

[0039] In one embodiment, in order to meet the requirements of different gains of the operational amplifier circuit and achieve the change of the gain coefficient of the amplifier circuit, the multiplexing circuit is further provided with a second switch for changing the gain change of the operational amplifier circuit according to the level control signal.

[0040] Specifically, the second switch is an analog switch K1B, the operational amplifier circuit includes resistors R4 and R5, and loop 2 also includes R4 and R5. The input terminals of K2 are connected to reference voltages Vref_1.65V and Vref_3.53V, respectively.

[0041] The working principle of the present invention is:

[0042] The signal input interface J1 inputs the detection signal, which can be a current signal or a voltage signal. When the input detection signal is a current signal, the switch control circuit port C / U_CTRL outputs a high level (3.3V); at this time, after the analog switches K1A and K1B receive the high-level control signal, K1A and K1B are both closed, and after K2 receives the high-level control signal, it selects to output the reference voltage Vref_3.3V.

[0043] At this time, the circuit connection diagram is as follows Figure 3As shown, therefore, at this time, the operational amplifier amplifies the input current signal i and the output is Vadc:

[0044]

[0045] When the input detection signal is a voltage signal, the switch control circuit port inputs a low level (0V). At this time, after the analog switches K1A and K1B receive the low level control signal, K1A and K1B are both disconnected. After K2 receives the low level control signal, it selects to output the reference voltage Vref_1.65V. At this time, the circuit connection diagram is as follows Figure 4 As shown, the operational amplifier amplifies the input voltage signal Ui and outputs U o :

[0046]

[0047] In the above formula, in order to make the output V adc and U o To meet the input range required for conversion to the ADC processing circuit, appropriate resistance values ​​can be set, that is, R0~R7 select appropriate values ​​to achieve current and voltage signal detection ranges of 4~20mA and -5~5V respectively.

[0048] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Based on the technical essence of the present invention and within the spirit and principles of the present invention, any simple modification, equivalent replacement and improvement of the above embodiment shall still fall within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present invention.
