A single-ended signal uses a reference ground as its base, making it susceptible to interference signals that can easily be superimposed on it. Furthermore, single-ended signals experience significant attenuation and distortion over long distances. Differential signals, on the other hand, are transmitted through two signal lines. Assuming the external interference signal is a common-mode interference, it will affect both signal lines of the differential signal simultaneously. However, because both signal lines experience the same interference... Their relative positions will not change due to this common interference, improving data accuracy. Resistors R1 and R2 are used for voltage division. Capacitors C1 and C2 are decoupling capacitors for the +5V power supply, used to filter out power supply noise and improve power supply stability. Capacitors C3, C4, and C5 are filter capacitors for the output signal, which can reduce high-frequency noise interference in the signal. Resistors R7 and R8 ground the PD port of amplifier chip U1, keeping the PD port of amplifier chip U1 at a low level, so that amplifier chip U1 is always working. When selective activation is required, resistors R7 and R8 can be changed to a branch controlled by microprocessor 4.

[0039] In use, the transmission circuit of the integrated IoT communication module of this invention allows the digital sensor 11 in sensor group 1 to directly transmit digital signals to the microprocessor 4. The analog sensor 10 in sensor group 1 typically outputs a single-ended analog signal. After amplification and conversion by the signal conditioning circuit 2, the single-ended analog signal becomes a double-ended differential analog signal, improving its anti-interference capability. In the signal conditioning circuit 2, R3=R4 and R5=R6, and the amplification factor is controlled by R3 and R5.
