[0016] Specifically, the several resistors further include resistor R2. One end of resistor R2 is connected to the gate electrode of field effect transistor Q1, and the other end is grounded.

[0018] Specifically, the several resistors further include resistor R6. One end of resistor R6 is connected to the gate electrode of field effect transistor Q3, and the other end is grounded.

[0019] Specifically, a signal processing method for a front-end circuit includes the following steps: S1. Judge whether the circuit obtains a sensor signal, and feedback a judgment signal based on the judgment result; S2. When obtaining the judgment signal, detect the sensor type, and feedback a measurement signal based on the detection result; S3. Based on the feedback of the measurement signal, perform corresponding processing on the signal output by the sensor.

[0020] IN1 inputs the sensor signal, which is fed back by the sensor. A judgment unit is set inside the circuit. IN2 inputs the judgment signal, which is input by the judgment unit. The judgment unit judges whether a sensor signal is obtained at the IN1 terminal. When obtained, a judgment signal is fed back to IN2 with a time lag. The time lag is set on the judgment unit. The judgment signal is fed back to the gate of the field effect transistor Q3. The resistor R6 discharges the parasitic capacitance of the gate of the field effect transistor Q3. When the judgment signal is not obtained at IN2, the voltage difference between the gate and the source of the field effect transistor Q3 is lower than the conduction threshold, and the field effect transistor Q3 conducts. The signal at the IN1 terminal passes through the switching switch S1 and the resistor R3 to the ground terminal. The signal at the resistor R3 terminal is fed back to the non-inverting terminal of the operational amplifier U3. The operational amplifier U3 outputs. The signal at the output terminal of the operational amplifier U3 is fed back to the inverting terminal of the operational amplifier U3 through the diode D1. When the field effect transistor Q3 conducts, the signal at the capacitor C1 terminal passes through the source, drain of the field effect transistor Q3, and the resistor R5 to the ground terminal. The signal at the capacitor C1 terminal follows the signal output by the sensor. When the judgment signal is obtained at IN2, the IN2 signal is fed back to the positive pole of the switching switch S1. The switching switch S1 switches the path. At the same time, the field effect transistor Q3 is cut off, and the capacitor C1 stops charging and discharging. The signal at the IN1 terminal passes through the diode D2 and the resistor R4 to the ground terminal. The resistance value of the resistor R4 terminal is set higher than that of the resistor R3 terminal. The signal at the capacitor C1 terminal is fed back to the inverting terminal of the operational amplifier U4. The signal at the resistor R4 terminal is fed back to the non-inverting terminal of the operational amplifier U4. If the sensor output signal is a current signal, when the signal feedback is obtained at IN2, the signal at the resistor R4 terminal is higher than the signal at the capacitor C1 terminal, and the operational amplifier U4 is in the output state. If the sensor output signal is a voltage signal, when the signal feedback is obtained at IN2, the voltage drop after the IN1 terminal signal passes through the diode D2 makes the signal at the resistor R4 terminal lower than the signal at the capacitor C1 terminal, and the operational amplifier U4 is in the cut-off state. The signal at the output terminal of the operational amplifier U4 is the measured signal. When the output terminal of the operational amplifier U4 outputs, it is measured that the current sensor output signal is a current signal, otherwise it is measured as a voltage signal. In this way, the signal type of the sensor is automatically identified and the corresponding feedback after identification is performed.

[0021] IN3 receives the measurement signal, and the measurement signal is fed back to pin 3 of flip-flop U1. Resistor R7 is the pull-down resistor for pin 3 of flip-flop U1. When IN3 does not receive the measurement signal in the initial state, pin 5 of flip-flop U1 is at a low level, and pin 6 of flip-flop U1 is at a low level. Resistor R9 is the pull-down resistor for pin 6 of flip-flop U1. When IN3 receives the measurement signal, the levels of pin 5 and pin 6 of flip-flop U1 are swapped. Pin 5 of flip-flop U1 is at a high level, and pin 6 of flip-flop U1 is at a low level. The non-inverting input terminal of operational amplifier U2 inputs the reference signal. The power supply signal passes through resistor R10 and resistor R8 to the ground terminal. The reference signal is fed back from the resistor R8 terminal or input from the power supply. The signal of pin 5 of flip-flop U1 is fed back to the inverting input terminal of operational amplifier U2. When the output of pin 5 of flip-flop U1 is at a high level, operational amplifier U2 is cut off. The signal at the output terminal of operational amplifier U2 is fed back to the gate of field-effect transistor Q1. Resistor R2 is used to discharge the parasitic capacitance of the gate of field-effect transistor Q1. Field-effect transistor Q1 conducts. The voltage difference between the gate and the source of field-effect transistor Q1 is lower than the conduction threshold. The signal at pin 3 of flip-flop U1 passes through the source and drain of field-effect transistor Q1 to the ground terminal. When field-effect transistor Q1 conducts, it restricts the signal at pin 3 of flip-flop U1 from obtaining a high-level signal again. The reset signal is fed back by the upper-level circuit or manually. The power supply signal is fed back to the collector of transistor Q2 through resistor R1. IN4 receives the reset signal. When IN4 receives the signal feedback, the reset signal passes through resistor R15, the base of transistor Q2, and the emitter of transistor Q2 to the ground terminal. Transistor Q2 conducts. The signal at pin 1 of flip-flop U1 passes through the collector and emitter of transistor Q2 to the ground terminal. The signal at pin 1 of flip-flop U1 is pulled to the ground potential. Flip-flop U1 is reset. Pin 5 of flip-flop U1 is at a low level, and pin 6 of flip-flop U1 is at a high level. Operational amplifier U2 outputs. Field-effect transistor Q1 is cut off. The signals at pin 5 and pin 6 of flip-flop U1 are channel switching signals. The channel switching signals are used to switch the signal channels at the output end of the sensor. A first processing unit and a second processing unit are provided in the circuit. If the sensor output signal is a voltage signal, the sensor signal is output to the second processing unit. The second processing unit performs differential amplification and filtering processing on it and then feeds it back to the lower-level circuit. If the sensor output signal is a current signal, the sensor signal is output to the first processing unit. The first processing unit performs I / V conversion on it and then feeds it back to the second processing unit. The second processing unit performs subsequent processing, so as to perform corresponding processing according to the signal type of the sensor.
