The MCU identifies the command type and performs corresponding actions, whether reading the spectrum or reading the concentration. The FPGA sends control timing to drive the CMOS detector S11639, so that the CMOS enters the detection output state. At the same time, the FPGA also generates high-speed differential AD driving timing, so that it can normally convert and output data. The converted data is sent to the MCU by the FPGA in the form of a 16-bit parallel bus. The FPGA outputs a falling edge trigger signal to inform the MCU to receive data.

The FPGA is used to generate a driving control timing of the CMOS, including two input signals and three output signals, the input signals being a CLK clock signal, an ST integral signal, an output timing signal Trig, a scanning end signal EOS and a spectral image output Video signal, so that the CMOS enters a state of detection and output of spectrum according to the driving control timing. The FPGA is also used to generate a driving timing of the high-speed differential AD conversion chip, so that the high-speed differential AD conversion chip can normally convert and output converted data according to the driving timing. After receiving the converted data, the FPGA sends the data to the MCU in the mode of 16-bit parallel bus and outputs a falling edge trigger signal to inform the MCU to receive data.

The FPGA communication interface of the high-speed differential AD adopts an LVDS interface, which can effectively reduce the bit error rate of communication between the high-speed differential AD acquisition chip and the FPGA and the difficulty of PCB wiring. The model of the high-speed differential AD acquisition chip is AD7961.

[0042] The differential amplifier is used for pre-processing the AC signal output by the CMOS, and the differential amplifier realizes the function of the adder by using the operational amplifier to raise the signal by 1 / 2 VCC, that is, to raise the negative half-axis signal to the positive half cycle above zero. At the same time, the single-ended signal output by the CMOS is converted into differential signals, that is, the in-phase signal and the inverted 180° signal. The in-phase signal and the inverted signal output by the differential amplifier are connected to IN+ and IN- of the high-speed differential AD respectively.

[0043] The emitter follower is arranged between the CMOS and the differential amplifier, the spectral signal output by the CMOS is connected to the emitter follower, the amplification factor is approximately 1, and the characteristics of high input impedance and low output impedance ensure that the signal is output to the subsequent circuit without attenuation. The output signal of the emitter follower is connected to the non-inverting input end R3 and the inverting input end R9 of the differential amplifier.
