[0014] The advantages of the present utility model are as follows:

The present utility model provides an open-circuit detection circuit for the high-side lamp control of a vehicle controller, which adds the design of an open-circuit detection circuit for the high-side output, and can timely and effectively detect whether there are abnormal conditions such as open-circuit faults or overcurrents in the corresponding lamp control loop.

[0020] Figure 2 It is the schematic diagram of the open-circuit detection circuit in the embodiment;

[0021] Figure 3 It is the schematic diagram of the 1.24V reference circuit.

[0022] Figure 4This is the limit parameter table of LM358. Specific implementation mode

[0023] Due to the common ground design of the external lamp components, in order to drive the external lamp to light, the vehicle control unit (VCU) needs to have a controllable high-side 12V output inside. As Figure 1 shown, a sampling resistor R47 is connected in series on the driving circuit of the high-side lamp control of the vehicle control unit.

[0024] As Figure 2 shown, the open-circuit detection circuit includes a differential amplifier circuit, an active filter, a passive filter, and a main detection chip connected in sequence; the two ends OHLAMP1_P and OHLAMP1_N of the sampling resistor R47 are connected to the two input ends of the differential amplifier circuit. The differential amplifier circuit amplifies the voltage difference at both ends of the sampling resistor R47, and then performs first-order active filtering and then first-order passive filtering, and outputs it to the AD analog acquisition port of the main detection chip for detection and judgment.

[0025] The differential amplifier circuit uses the LM358 operational amplifier U1. The non-inverting input terminal and the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U1 are respectively connected to the two ends OHLAMP1_P and OHLAMP1_N of the sampling resistor R47 through resistors R54 and R49. A resistor R46 is connected between the output terminal and the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U1.

[0026] The non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U1 is also connected to a reference voltage of 1.24V through a resistor R56. As Figure 3 shown, the reference voltage of 1.24V is generated by a reference circuit. The reference circuit includes a 12V_AUX auxiliary power supply, a resistor R76, and a voltage regulator tube U7. The 12V_AUX auxiliary power supply is grounded through the resistor R76 and the voltage regulator tube U7 connected in sequence, and the voltage regulator tube U7 outputs a reference voltage of 1.24V.

[0027] Considering that the current in the lamp control loop is small, in order to accurately identify the differences in the loop current in the normal lamp driving situation, open-circuit situation, and over-current situation, the operational amplifier LM358 with wide voltage input is selected. The limit parameters of the operational amplifier LM358 refer to the limit parameter table as Figure 4 shown, and it meets the voltage input for normal driving output of 12V.

[0028] Perform differential acquisition on the voltage at both ends of the sampling resistor R47 in Figure 1 shown. Then amplify the differential voltage ΔV by 10 times (the amplification factor is determined by the resistance values of R46, R49, R54, and R56), add the reference voltage of 1.24V (for the circuit generating the reference voltage of 1.24V, see Figure 3 ), and then perform first-order active filtering and then first-order passive filtering, and output it to the AD analog acquisition port of the main chip for detection and judgment. The specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0029]

[0030] It can be seen that in the case of no drive output, since there are two pull-down resistors, R52 and R53, at both ends of the sampling resistor, V OHLAMP1_P = V OHLAMP1_N = 0V at this time. Furthermore, in this case When the drive output is normal, a small current in the 12V range passes through the sampling resistor, generating a weak voltage drop across the sampling resistor. At this time, V OHLAMP1_P > V OHLAMP1_N After being amplified by the operational amplifier,

[0031] In the later stage, it is recognized and compared by software and corresponding warning strategies are determined. When an external short-circuit fault occurs, a large current in the 12V range passes through the sampling resistor at this time, generating a voltage drop across the sampling resistor. At this time, V OHLAMP1_P > V OHLAMP1_N After being amplified by the operational amplifier, In the later stage, it is recognized and compared by software and corresponding protection strategies are determined.

[0032] In addition, the 12V_AUX in the sampling processing circuit and the reference circuit is an internally software-controllable 12V auxiliary power supply. When sampling is not required, the auxiliary power supply of the 12V_AUX can be turned off to reduce unnecessary power consumption. The presence or absence of the 12V_AUX does not affect the normal lamp control output. Finally, a D26 transient suppression diode is placed at the end of the lamp control output for electrostatic protection of the external interface to ensure that the internal components are not damaged. A D25 voltage regulator diode is placed at the end of the disconnection detection circuit for overvoltage protection of the internal main chip pins to prevent overvoltage damage to the internal main chip.

[0033] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical concept and features of the present invention, and their purpose is to enable those who are familiar with this technology to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly, and it should not be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. All modifications made according to the spirit of the main technical solution of the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
