[0028] As an application of this embodiment:

[0029] The current output power supply circuit is composed of 3-way 3.3V outputs and 1-way 5V output. The 3-way 3.3V power supplies respectively supply power to the single-chip microcomputer control circuit and the communication circuit (VCC3.3), the ADC voltage acquisition circuit and the isolation chip (IO3.3V), and the DAC voltage output circuit and the reference voltage circuit (3.3V). The purpose of outputting the same 3.3V voltage in three ways is to completely isolate the single-chip microcomputer control circuit and the analog circuit parts, avoid the analog signals of acquisition and output from interfering with the single-chip microcomputer, and at the same time ensure the accuracy of analog signal acquisition and output. As Figure 4 shown, U24 is a 24-bit, low-noise, low-power integrated PGA, using 8-way differential small-signal inputs to meet the input voltage acquisition accuracy; C66 and C70 are decoupling capacitors for the REGCAPD and REGCAPA pins, decoupled to the analog ground AGND; REFIN+ and REFIN- are externally connected to the reference voltage VREF 2.5V, and the device can work with a reference voltage within the range of 1V to 3.3V externally connected to AVDD; the SYNC# pin is externally connected to a 10kΩ pull-up resistor, and when it is at a high level, it enables the digital filters and analog modulators of multiple AD7124-8 devices to be synchronized for input, and vice versa for reset; the CS, SCLK, DIN, and DOUT / RDY# pins are used for ADC acquisition data transmission with the single-chip microcomputer, and are respectively configured as chip select input, clock input, serial data input, and serial data output in the program; AIN0 to AIN15 are externally connected to the ADC acquisition control circuit to complete 8-channel voltage data acquisition in a differential form.

[0030] Before the Joule calibration circuit starts to work properly, the accurate resistance value of the Joule resistor needs to be obtained. Since its resistance value changes with the experimental constant temperature, the circuit is designed with an ADC voltage acquisition circuit to measure the resistance value of the Joule resistor before each calibration experiment.

[0031] The ADC acquisition circuit is mainly controlled by the AD7124-8BCPZ chip to meet the function of 8-channel voltage acquisition. The ADUM1441ARQZ isolation chip is used to ensure the transmission of the acquisition signal between the single-chip microcomputer and this chip, avoiding interference.

[0032] When the host computer issues the calibration power P JC and the calibration time T JC , the single-chip microcomputer calculates the ADC acquisition voltage value to obtain the resistance value R val of the current Joule resistor. Then, using the electric power calculation formula, the current value I SET that the Joule calibration module needs to output is obtained, and the analog voltage quantity that the DAC circuit needs to output is calculated inversely.

[0033]

[0034] The DAC output circuit is composed of the DAC8830ID analog signal output chip and its follower AD8629ARZ, and the voltage reference chip ADR4525ARZ and its follower provide a 2.5V reference voltage.

[0035] As Figure 7 shown, U27 is a 16-bit, low-power voltage output digital-to-analog converter, and the output analog voltage value range is from 0 to the VREF reference voltage of 2.5V. Therefore, the analog voltage calculation formula is as follows:

[0036]

[0037] where V REF = 2.5V, R SAMPLE = 25Ω, and I SET is the current value that needs to be output for this calibration; VDD is externally connected to a 3.3V power supply as the working voltage of the analog circuit; the SDI, CS#, and SCLK pins are used for data transmission of the DAC voltage between the single-chip microcomputer, and are respectively configured as serial data input, chip select input, and clock input in the program; the VOUT pin is externally connected to U26 as a voltage follower, that is, a buffer amplifier. The input and output voltage values of the follower are the same, and it has a lower output impedance, which can drive the subsequent load more effectively and also isolate the interference of the subsequent stage to the previous-stage chip U27.

[0038] As Figure 8As shown, the main function of the constant current source circuit is to convert the analog voltage output by the DAC circuit into a current signal, and obtain the theoretical Joule heat by controlling the current value input to the Joule resistor and the output current time.

[0039] When the voltage value VREF_OUT of the analog voltage signal output by the DAC circuit is U and is input to the constant current source circuit, it is divided by R39 to U / 2, and then converted back to the voltage value U through the inverting amplifier U45.2 in the AD8629ARZ op amp. The amplification factor is calculated as follows:

[0040]

[0041] Where R 36 = R 37 = 10 kΩ, so the amplification factor A u = 2. R36 and R37 are high-precision, low-temperature-drift R0805 package resistors; Q3 is an NPN transistor, which cooperates with U45.2 to achieve stable output current of the constant current source. When the voltage of the current sampling resistor changes, this change will be fed back to the inverting input terminal of U45.2. At this time, the voltage difference from the non-inverting input terminal is amplified and output by the op amp, and the output controls the base current of Q3, and the voltage drop between the collector and the emitter changes accordingly. Finally, the function of keeping the voltage of the sampling resistor constant is realized; the output current sampling resistor is composed of two 50 Ω high-precision, low-temperature-drift RJ711 package resistors in parallel, so the current sampling resistor value is 25 Ω. Therefore, when the DAC voltage output circuit outputs the maximum voltage value of 2.5 V, the constant current source circuit has a maximum output current of 0.1 A.

[0042] The relay control circuit consists of two parts. The first part has 8 relays that respectively control the voltage acquisition of 8 channels. When the module acquires the voltage value of the Joule resistor, it controls the acquisition signal and the small current transmission of the constant current source; the second part has 4 single-pole double-throw relays that control the current output of the constant current source. After the first part finishes the acquisition, the relays will no longer be turned on, and the output and output time are controlled by the relays in the second part.

[0043] The above has generally described the present invention in detail, but based on the present invention, some modifications or improvements can be made, which are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art. Therefore, the modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
