[0019] Example 1

[0020] This embodiment discloses a cooling detector bias voltage adaptive adjustment circuit. Figure 1As shown, it includes an ambient temperature acquisition circuit, a fine-tuning signal acquisition circuit, a main control circuit and a bias voltage adjustment circuit. The ambient temperature acquisition circuit and the fine-tuning signal acquisition circuit are respectively connected to the input end of the main control circuit, and the output end of the main control circuit is connected to the bias voltage adjustment circuit; the ambient temperature acquisition circuit and the fine-tuning signal acquisition circuit respectively acquire the ambient temperature and the imaging signal of the detector, and transmit the acquired differential value of the ambient temperature and the imaging signal to the main control circuit. The main control circuit generates bias voltage adjustment information according to the differential value of the ambient temperature and the imaging signal, and sends the bias voltage adjustment information to the bias voltage adjustment circuit. The bias voltage adjustment circuit adjusts the bias voltage according to the bias voltage adjustment information.

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the main control circuit is implemented based on the STM32 microcontroller. The main control circuit has 6 pins leading outward, namely the SDA and SCL pins (output ends) connected to the bias voltage adjustment circuit, the LINE IN+ and LINE IN- (input ends) connected to the ambient temperature acquisition circuit, and the VSIGN2+ and VSIGN2- (input ends) connected to the fine-tuning signal acquisition circuit. Figure 2 Only the used pins are shown; unused pins are not. The main control circuit receives ambient temperature data from the ambient temperature acquisition circuit, identifies it, and adjusts the bias voltage output by the bias voltage adjustment circuit in real time. The signal acquisition circuit then compares the detector signal and sends it as a differential signal to the main control circuit, which then determines whether further bias voltage adjustment is necessary.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, the bias voltage adjustment circuit includes a digital potentiometer N1 and an amplifier N2. The I2C interfaces SCL and SDA of digital potentiometer N1 are connected to the output of the main control circuit. The slider of the digital potentiometer is connected to the non-inverting input of amplifier N2 via resistor R90. The inverting input of amplifier N2 is connected to its output via resistor R92. The power supply terminal of amplifier N2 is connected to a power supply, and the output of amplifier N2 outputs the adjusted bias voltage via resistor R93. The high-resistance terminal of digital potentiometer N1 is connected to the power supply via resistor R86, and the low-resistance terminal of digital potentiometer N1 is connected to ground via resistor R88. Resistor R87 is provided between the power supply and resistor R90. Resistor R89, capacitor C82, and capacitor C83 are connected in parallel between resistor R90 and ground.

[0023] The bias voltage adjustment circuit is mainly controlled by the main control circuit, receives the electrical signal from the main control circuit, and adjusts the bias voltage generated by it. It has the advantages of fast speed, high precision and low energy consumption, and can automatically save the bias voltage required under the current ambient temperature.

[0024] The main control circuit changes the electrical signal sent by the electronic potentiometer through the SCL and SDA signals, and outputs the voltage through the amplifier N2 to change the GPOL value.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, the fine-tuning signal acquisition circuit includes an amplifier N3B and a differential chip U3. The imaging signal of the detector is transmitted to the positive phase input terminal of the amplifier N3B through the resistor R98.

[0026] In this embodiment, the fine-tuning signal acquisition circuit has multiple channels, each of which collects the detector imaging signal. As the core of the detector chip data acquisition, the multi-channel signal acquisition circuit is affected by the bias voltage adjustment circuit and needs to send the collected data to the main control circuit for judgment. Figure 4 This is a single-channel signal acquisition circuit. Information enters the signal collector from pin 5 of N3B, is processed, and then fed into the differential chip. The differential chip then outputs a differential signal to the main control circuit. The main control circuit analyzes the information and sends the information to the bias voltage adjustment circuit to change the GOPL value. VREF is the standard input terminal. VCOM is the differential signal op amp common mode reference.

[0027] like Figure 5As shown, the ambient temperature acquisition circuit includes a temperature sensor and transistor Q2. The temperature sensor uses a DS18B20. Pin 1 (DQ) and pin 2 (GND) are connected to the negative temperature output terminal via resistors R8 and R9, respectively. Power supply VCC is connected to the base of transistor Q2 via resistor R10. Power supply VCC is connected to the collector of transistor Q2, and the emitter of transistor Q2 is connected to the positive temperature output terminal. Resistor R7 is connected between the positive and negative temperature output terminals. Both the positive and negative temperature output terminals are connected to the input terminals of the main control circuit. The ambient temperature acquisition circuit monitors the real-time temperature of the detector's environment and transmits it to the main control circuit. It features high precision and low energy consumption.
