[0002] So far, to achieve PWM circuit control for automobile headlights, an MCU is basically used. The MCU itself is difficult to manufacture and has relatively high requirements for the skills of personnel. At the same time, the use of the MCU is also relatively complex and requires professional technicians to operate, which increases the overall manufacturing cost of the automobile. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the problem that when realizing PWM circuit control for existing automobile headlights, most of them are basically realized by using an MCU on the market, which has relatively high requirements for the skills of personnel. At the same time, the use of the MCU is also relatively complex and requires professional technicians to operate, which increases the overall manufacturing cost of the automobile, and provides a low-cost square wave generator circuit.
[0004] To achieve the above technical purpose and reach the above technical effect, the utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:
[0005] The utility model provides a low-cost square wave generator circuit, including an oscillation circuit and a square wave output circuit. The oscillation circuit includes a resistor R1, a resistor R2, a resistor R3, a resistor R4, a capacitor C1, a capacitor C2, a triode Q1 and a triode Q2. The base of the triode Q1 is connected to one end of the capacitor C2 and one end of the resistor R3. The other end of the capacitor C2 is connected to the collector of the triode Q2 and one end of the resistor R1. The base of the triode Q2 is simultaneously connected to one end of the capacitor C1 and one end of the resistor R4. The other end of the capacitor C1 is connected to the collector of the triode Q1 and one end of the resistor R2. The square wave circuit includes a triode Q3, a resistor R5 and a resistor R6.

When just powered on, since the capacitor is equivalent to a short circuit, it is set that the triode Q1 conducts first. The capacitor C1 is charged through the resistor R4 and the triode Q1, and the triode Q2 is cut off. At this time, the output terminal of the triode Q1 is at a low level, and the triode Q3 is cut off, and the output terminal outputs a high level. The base voltage of the triode Q2 gradually increases as the capacitor C1 is charged (left positive and right negative). At the same time, the capacitor C2 is charged through R1 and the base-emitter of Q1 (left positive and right negative). When the capacitor C1 is charged to 0.7V, the triode Q2 conducts, and the C2 capacitor is charged through R3 and the triode Q2 (right positive and left negative), and Q1 is cut off. At this time, Q1 outputs a high level, the triode Q3 conducts, and the output terminal outputs a low level. At the same time, the capacitor C1 is charged through R2 and the collector-emitter of Q2 (right positive and left negative). Through the alternating conduction of the triode Q1 and the triode Q2, the high and low levels are output, forming a PWM wave output. The present utility model realizes the output of the PWM wave through the oscillation circuit and the square wave output circuit. The circuit is simple. While meeting the requirements of customers, it also meets the need to reduce costs, and the processing and manufacturing are relatively simple. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
