Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mass spectrometry instrument technology, specifically to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer control circuit. Background Technology

[0002] The control system of a time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS) involves many analog voltages that require real-time monitoring. If multiple ADC chips were used to directly acquire these signals, the entire circuitry would become extremely large and complex. Furthermore, mass spectrometers are high-precision instruments, requiring precise control of the output voltages of multiple high-voltage power supplies during normal operation. This necessitates low noise in the front-end control circuitry.

[0003] The analyzer of a mass spectrometer requires a high vacuum environment to function properly, and also requires a 20kV high voltage as the ion acceleration voltage. The high vacuum environment ensures that the analyzer can function properly, and also ensures the discharge distance of the accelerating electrode, preventing high-voltage discharge from occurring in the instrument. However, problems can still occur during instrument use, such as damage to the fore-stage oil pump or vacuum molecular pump, which can lead to insufficient vacuum in the instrument. This can eventually cause the instrument to discharge, and may result in other issues such as high-voltage breakdown of the circuit board or power supply.

[0004] Currently, the circuit architecture used in the industry adopts discrete circuit modules to control their respective functional modules. This leads to the following problems: First, a complex power supply system, as different main control chips require different power supply voltages; second, each module requires more communication interfaces, increasing communication time and reducing the real-time performance of data acquisition; third, the discrete modules are assembled in different locations, increasing wiring and reducing the reliability of the instrument.
