Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuits, and in particular to a strong anti-interference circuit for real-time control of a pneumatic soft robot. Background Art

[0002] In the existing pneumatic drive circuits of soft robots, signals are inevitably interfered with. Even weak analog signal noise affects the control accuracy of pneumatic drive robots. Existing anti-interference circuit technology solutions mainly include filters, shielding, grounding, redundant design and other methods. Many anti-interference technologies (such as high-performance filters and shielding materials) often increase the cost of the circuit and affect the market competitiveness of the product. Some anti-interference solutions (for example, using a shielded shell) may cause the overall product volume to increase, which is not friendly to applications with limited space.

Let VT1=1V, VT2=3V. After calculation, R2 / R3=2 / 3.3 and Vref=1.86V.
