[0015] Figure 1 This is a circuit schematic diagram of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the utility model, the preferred implementation scheme of the utility model is described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. However, it should be understood that the drawings are only used for illustrative purposes and cannot be understood as a limitation on this patent. In order to better illustrate this embodiment, some parts of the drawings may be omitted, enlarged or reduced, and do not represent the size of the actual product. For those skilled in the art, it is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions in the drawings may be omitted. The positional relationship described in the drawings is only used for illustrative purposes and cannot be understood as a limitation on this patent.

[0017] Embodiment 1:

[0018] like Figure 1As shown, the utility model provides a Hall element constant current source circuit, including a constant current control module, a reference voltage adjustment module, a Hall element H and a processing module, wherein the constant current control module is electrically connected to the reference voltage adjustment module, the Hall element H and the processing module respectively.

[0019] The Hall element H can detect and measure the magnetic field. Through the Hall effect, the change of the magnetic field is converted into a measurable electrical signal. When the current passed through the Hall element H changes, the output voltage will change when detecting the same magnetic field, so the temperature drift performance of the constant current source is very important. Connecting the Hall element H to a low-temperature drift constant current source can ensure that the Hall element H obtains a stable current supply at different temperatures, thereby reducing the impact of temperature on the measurement results and improving the measurement accuracy.

[0020] Embodiment 2:

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a Hall element constant current source circuit, including a constant current control module, a reference voltage adjustment module, a Hall element H and a processing module, wherein the constant current control module is electrically connected to the reference voltage adjustment module, the Hall element H and the processing module respectively.

[0022] The constant current control module includes a first operational amplifier U1, a second operational amplifier U2, a first PNP transistor Q1, a second PNP transistor Q3, a third PNP transistor Q4, an NPN transistor Q2, a transistor D1, a capacitor C1, a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4, a fifth resistor R5, and a ninth resistor R9;

[0023] Pin 6 of the first operational amplifier U1 is electrically connected to one end of the second resistor R2 and the emitter of the second PNP transistor Q3, respectively; the other end of the second resistor R2 is electrically connected to one end of the first resistor R1, and the other end of the first resistor R1 is electrically connected to pin 5 of the first operational amplifier U1, one end of the third resistor R3, one end of the fourth resistor R4, and one end of the capacitor C1, respectively; the other end of the third resistor R3 is electrically connected to the emitter of the first PNP transistor Q1, and the base of the first PNP transistor Q1 is electrically connected to the other end of the fourth resistor R4 and the collector of the NPN transistor Q2, and the collector of the first PNP transistor Q1 is electrically connected to pin 3 of the transistor D1, the base of the NPN transistor Q2, and the other end of the capacitor C1, respectively; and pin 1 of the transistor D1 is electrically connected to the NPN transistor Q2. The emitter of the transistor Q2 is electrically connected to one end of the fifth resistor R5, and pin 2 of the transistor D1 is electrically connected to the other end of the fifth resistor R5 and one end of the ninth resistor R9 respectively. Pin 7 of the first operational amplifier U1 is electrically connected to the base of the second PNP transistor Q3, and the collector of the second PNP transistor Q3 is electrically connected to pin 4 of the Hall element H. Pin 2 of the Hall element H is electrically connected to the emitter of the third PNP transistor Q4, and the base of the third PNP transistor Q4 is electrically connected to pin 7 of the second operational amplifier U2. The collector of the third PNP transistor Q4 is electrically connected to the other end of the ninth resistor R9, and pin 6 of the second operational amplifier U2 is electrically connected to pin 3 of the Hall element H. Pin 5 of the second operational amplifier U2 is electrically connected to the other end of the seventh resistor R7.

[0024] The third resistor R3, the fifth resistor R5 and the ninth resistor R9 are used for current limiting: by connecting the third resistor R3, the fifth resistor R5 and the ninth resistor R9 in series to the circuit and selecting appropriate resistance values ​​to limit the current, a constant current can be obtained when the voltage is constant.

[0025] The fourth resistor R4 stabilizes the voltage: by utilizing the voltage-dividing characteristics of the resistor, when the current passed is constant, the voltage can be kept constant.

[0026] R1=R2 ensures constant current output: Equal resistance can ensure constant current output. The principle is to introduce equal resistance into the circuit to obtain nearly the same voltage division value, so that the circuit generates a constant current when it is working. When used in conjunction with the first operational amplifier U1, it can ensure that the constant current source is not affected by the auxiliary power supply or the load.

[0027] The first PNP transistor Q1 and the second PNP transistor Q3 are selected from the same series of transistors. When the temperature changes, the temperature drift changes are opposite and almost equal, which compensate each other and reduce the influence of temperature on the constant current source. The use of transistor pairs is relatively simple, easy to understand and design. This helps to reduce the complexity of the constant current source circuit and speed up the design and development process.

[0028] The first operational amplifier U1, the second operational amplifier U2, the second PNP transistor Q3, and the third PNP transistor Q4 provide stable DC bias and voltage amplification factor: the constant current source circuit of the operational amplifier can provide a more stable current output, reducing the influence of factors such as voltage bias and temperature drift on the current. It can drive a larger load resistance and maintain a constant current output.

[0029] Transistor D1 uses a high-performance power reference chip. First, this design can provide a very accurate reference voltage, which helps to improve the accuracy and stability of the system. Secondly, it is less affected by temperature changes and can still maintain stable output under different temperature environments. It is usually manufactured using advanced processes and technologies, has high reliability and durability, and has low output voltage noise, which helps to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the system.

[0030] By adding capacitor C1 to the constant current source, when the alternating current containing pulsating components passes through the capacitor, the capacitor will be charged in the voltage rising stage to store electric energy; and discharged in the voltage falling stage to supplement the current. This can smooth out voltage fluctuations, filter out the alternating current component, and make the output voltage more stable, thus achieving a filtering effect.

[0031] Further, in another embodiment, the reference voltage adjustment module includes a sixth resistor R6, a seventh resistor R7, an eighth resistor R8, and a potentiometer RP1, the collector of the second PNP transistor Q3 is electrically connected to one end of the sixth resistor R6, the other end of the sixth resistor R6 is electrically connected to pin 1 of the potentiometer RP1, pin 3 of the potentiometer RP1 is electrically connected to one end of the seventh resistor R7, pin 2 of the potentiometer RP1 is electrically connected to one end of the eighth resistor R8, and the other end of the eighth resistor R8 is electrically connected to pin 2 of the Hall element H and the emitter of the third PNP transistor Q4, respectively.

[0032] Select the potentiometer RP1 with appropriate resistance and accuracy to adjust the voltage range as needed.

[0033] Resistors R6 and R7 are connected in series to obtain voltage outputs of different proportions through the distribution of voltage by resistors. In practical applications, appropriate adjustments and optimizations need to be made according to specific circuits and requirements.

[0034] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the processing module is a processing circuit A1, and the processing circuit A1 includes an IN1 interface, an IN2 interface, an IN3 interface, and an OUT interface electrically connected, pin 2 of the transistor D1 is electrically connected to the IN3 interface of the processing circuit A1, pin 5 of the second operational amplifier U2 is electrically connected to the IN2 interface of the processing circuit A1, and pin 1 of the Hall element H is electrically connected to the IN1 interface of the processing circuit A1.

[0035] The processing circuit A1 includes three input signals and one output signal, where the input signal is the Hall output voltage difference, the signal ground and a stable reference voltage. The signal processing mainly relies on the operation circuit composed of various levels of operational amplifiers to calculate and output the actual required signal output.
