Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle voltage detection, in particular to a low-voltage detection circuit and system in a dormant scenario. Background Art

[0002] Currently, many automotive electronic devices will detect the vehicle's battery voltage. When low voltage is detected, they will optimize their own power usage, such as reducing the power of the entire machine to reduce the impact on the entire vehicle; or notify the user to charge in time.

[0003] To prevent the vehicle from being unable to start after being parked for a long time, the car manufacturer will control the sleep current of the electrical equipment (electronic equipment) on the vehicle. For example, after sleep, the current cannot exceed 3mA and other requirements. However, this does not mean that the electrical equipment (electronic equipment) on the vehicle is not consuming power, but it consumes less power. Usually, the way electronic equipment detects the voltage of the entire vehicle is through resistor voltage division, and then gives it to the MCU for AD acquisition, and then converts it to the actual voltage. However, after the electronic equipment is in sleep, the AD acquisition function is usually not used. After sleep, if you want to know the current voltage of the entire vehicle, you must first wake up the electronic equipment, then perform AD acquisition, and finally convert it to the actual vehicle voltage. However, once the electronic equipment is woken up, the operating current is relatively large. If it happens too many times, the vehicle battery is more likely to fail, which is obviously inappropriate. Utility Model Content

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0019] The utility model can detect the vehicle battery voltage without waking up the electronic device after the electronic device is dormant. Once the threshold value set by the comparator is reached, the IO interrupt wakes up the electronic device, solving the problem that the electronic device cannot detect low vehicle voltage after dormant.

[0031] The voltage divider circuit 10 is connected to BAT_IN, and the voltage is reduced by the resistor voltage divider circuit to obtain the divided voltage, which is output to the comparison circuit 11;

[0032] The comparison circuit 11 receives the input reference voltage Ref, compares the reference voltage Ref with the divided voltage, and outputs the comparison status to the MCU detection circuit 12;

[0033] The MCU detection circuit 12 is connected to the comparison circuit 11 and detects the comparison state output by the comparison circuit 11 .

[0034] Specifically, the voltage divider circuit 10 includes: a first resistor R1 and a second resistor R2; one end of the first resistor R1 is connected to BAT_IN, and the connection point between the other end of the first resistor R1 and one end of the second resistor R2 is connected to an input end of the comparison circuit 11; the other end of the second resistor R2 is grounded.

[0035] Furthermore, the voltage divider circuit 10 further includes: a first capacitor C1; the first capacitor C1 is connected in parallel with the second resistor R2.

[0036] Specifically, the comparison circuit 11 includes: a comparator U1; the positive input terminal of the comparator U1 is connected to the voltage divider circuit 10, and the reverse input terminal of the comparator U1 is connected to the reference voltage Ref, or the reverse input terminal of the comparator U1 is connected to the voltage divider circuit 10, and the positive input terminal of the comparator U1 is connected to the reference voltage Ref; the output terminal of the comparator U1 is connected to the MCU detection circuit 12.
