[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a wake-up circuit for MCU, including a first wake-up sub-circuit and a second wake-up sub-circuit;

[0025] The input end of the first wake-up sub-circuit is connected to the first signal output end X1 of the whole vehicle, and the output end of the first wake-up sub-circuit is connected to the first detection interface I1 of the MCU; the input end of the second wake-up sub-circuit is connected to the second signal output end X2 of the whole vehicle, and the output end of the second wake-up sub-circuit is connected to the second detection interface I2 of the MCU; the output end of the first wake-up sub-circuit and the output end of the second wake-up sub-circuit are connected in parallel to the wake-up interface I0 of the MCU.

[0026] When the first signal output terminal X1 and / or the second signal output terminal X2 of the vehicle outputs a wake-up signal, the corresponding first wake-up sub-circuit and / or the second wake-up sub-circuit operates, and the MCU's wake-up interface I0 detects an external signal input, thereby waking up the MCU; then the MCU's first detection interface I1 and / or the second detection interface I2 detect the corresponding level status to determine which wake-up signal is the wake-up source.

[0027] In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the first wake-up sub-circuit includes a first switch Q1:

[0028] The first signal output terminal X1 of the vehicle is connected to one end of the first resistor R1, the other end of the first resistor R1 is connected to one end of the second resistor R2, the other end of the second resistor R2 is connected to one end of the third resistor R3, and the other end of the third resistor R3 is respectively connected to one end of the first capacitor C1, one end of the fourth resistor R4, and one end of the fifth resistor R5. The other end of the first capacitor C1 is grounded, and the other end of the fourth resistor R4 is grounded. The other end of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the base of the first switch Q1, and the emitter of the first switch Q1 is grounded.

[0029] The collector of the first switch Q1 is respectively connected to one end of the sixth resistor R6, one end of the second capacitor C2, the cathode of the first diode D1, and the cathode of the second diode D2. The other end of the sixth resistor R6 is input with the first voltage (5V), and the other end of the second capacitor C2 is grounded. The anode of the first diode D1 is respectively connected to one end of the seventh resistor R7 and the first detection interface I1 of the MCU. The other end of the seventh resistor R7 is input with the second voltage (5V). The anode of the second diode D2 is respectively connected to one end of the eighth resistor R8 and one end of the third capacitor C3. The other end of the eighth resistor R8 is input with the third voltage (5V), and the other end of the third capacitor C3 is grounded.

[0030] In this embodiment, the model of the first switch Q1 is S-LMBT3904LT1G; the model of the first diode D1 and the second diode D2 is RB531SM-30FHT2R.

[0031] In this embodiment, the second wake-up sub-circuit includes a second switch Q2:

[0032] The second signal output terminal X2 of the vehicle is connected to one end of a ninth resistor R9, the other end of the ninth resistor R9 is connected to one end of a tenth resistor R10, the other end of the tenth resistor R10 is connected to one end of an eleventh resistor R11, and the other end of the eleventh resistor R11 is connected to one end of a fourth capacitor C4, one end of a twelfth resistor R12, and one end of a thirteenth resistor R13, respectively. The other end of the fourth capacitor C4 is grounded, and the other end of the twelfth resistor R12 is grounded. The other end of the thirteenth resistor R13 is connected to the base of the second switch Q2, and the emitter of the second switch Q2 is grounded.

[0035] In this embodiment, the model of the second switch Q2 is S-LMBT3904LT1G; the model of the third diode D3 and the fourth diode D4 is RB531SM-30FHT2R.

[0036] When the X1 input is high, Q1 turns on, and D1 and D2 are turned on at the same time. Current flows from the 5V power supply of R7 / R8 to diodes D1 / D2, and then flows to GND through Q1. At this time, the voltage at the anode of D1 / D2 is the forward voltage of the diode. The forward voltage of this type of diode is 0.35V. The anode of the diode is connected to the MCU. Therefore, the MCU detects a low level at this time and determines that the external wake-up is X1.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth voltages are all 5V input voltages, which are used to pull up the entire wake-up circuit during sleep. C3 is used for filtering to ensure the stability of the detection interface I0 signal detection.

[0038] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the above-mentioned embodiments are specific examples for implementing the present invention, and in actual applications, various changes may be made thereto in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
