[0011] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of a long-distance, low-noise, and highly stable power supply circuit in one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an LDO circuit in an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0012] The advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description and claims.

[0013] Please see Figure 1 This embodiment provides a long-distance, low-noise, and highly stable power supply circuit for a superconducting quantum measurement and control system chassis. The power supply circuit includes a buck circuit and an low-dropout (LDO) circuit. The input voltage is stepped down by the buck circuit and then passes through the LDO circuit to output a voltage with a fluctuation range of no more than 3mV to the load.

[0014] Among them, the voltage drop on the positive-polarity voltage output line is eliminated by connecting the OUTS pin of the LDO chip to the load end separately, and the ground wire voltage drop is sampled by Rcom and compensated to the voltage setting pin of the LDO chip, finally making the voltage fluctuation output to the load end within 3mv, so as to achieve long-distance low-noise and low-voltage regulation rate power supply.

[0015] Taking the LT3041 as an example for the LDO circuit of this embodiment, different lengths of wires are connected between its output terminal and feedback terminal, and the ground wire voltage drop is compensated to the output terminal by Rcom, and then the output terminal voltage is compensated and regulated by the feedback loop to maintain the stability of the output terminal voltage, making the output voltage fluctuation within 3mv, so as to achieve long-distance low-noise power supply.

[0016] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2 , the LDO circuit includes a constant current source, an error amplifier, and a triode; the negative input terminal of the error amplifier is connected to the constant current source, the positive input terminal of the error amplifier is connected to the feedback output terminal of the LDO, the output terminal of the error amplifier is connected to the base of the triode, and the collector of the triode is connected to the output terminal of the LDO. A long-distance wire is connected to the SMA connector at the output terminal and the feedback output terminal of the LDO circuit; here, the length of the long-distance wire does not exceed 1m.

[0017] In the figure, the error amplifier, the triode and the SMA connector form a feedback loop, and this feedback loop compares the voltage of the feedback output terminal and the reference voltage through the error amplifier to control the conduction degree of the triode, so as to achieve the dynamic adjustment of the LDO output voltage.

[0018] In this embodiment, the voltage drop on the ground wire is compensated to the voltage setting pin of the LDO chip through the resistor Rcom to achieve the purpose of eliminating the ground wire voltage drop. Specifically, an output voltage setting resistor Rset is connected in series at the voltage setting pin of the LDO circuit, Rset is connected in series with Rcom, and the connection end of Rset and Rcom is connected to an SMA connector through a long-distance wire, and the length of this long-distance wire does not exceed 1m.

[0019] Among them, Rcom is the ground wire voltage drop compensation resistor, and Rcom << RSET. RSET is the output voltage setting resistor, and (RSET + Rcom) and the 100uA constant current source fixed inside the LDO chip jointly determine the magnitude of the LDO output voltage.

[0020] In other words, Vset was originally determined by Rset and a fixed 100µA constant current source inside the chip. Now, Rcom sampling and compensation is connected in series with Rset, superimposing the load-side GND voltage on Vset. The output voltage is then determined by (Rset + Rcom) and the fixed 100µA constant current source inside the chip. This allows the ground voltage drop to be compensated to the output through Rcom. The feedback loop then compensates and adjusts the output voltage to maintain stability, keeping the output voltage fluctuation within 3mV and achieving low-noise, highly stable power supply over long distances.

[0021] In addition, in order to optimize the stability of power supply, enhance transient response and suppress noise, a filter capacitor is mounted on the feedback output of LDO. For details, please refer to Figure 2 , Cout1 and Cout2 connected in parallel are connected to the feedback output terminal, and the other end is grounded.

[0022] In summary, this long-distance, low-noise, and highly stable power supply circuit, based on a linear power supply, eliminates the voltage drop caused by the load current in the power transmission line through load-side feedback and ground compensation, reducing the output voltage regulation to 0.02%. The circuit structure is simple, requiring no additional controller other than the LDO chip. It also possesses the advantages of a linear power supply, such as low noise and high common-mode rejection ratio. By varying the length of the wires connected to the output and feedback output terminals, long-distance, low-noise, and highly stable power supply can be achieved for superconducting quantum measurement and control systems.

[0023] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Even if various changes are made to the present invention, if these changes fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, they still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
