[0030] The CAN isolation chip is an NSI8222W1-Q1SWVR chip.

[0031] The CAN chip is a TJA1042T / 3 / 1J chip.

[0032] Referring to Figures 1-2 The specific process is shown as follows:

[0033] Step one: temperature collection

[0034] Two NTCs (thermistors) on the module are connected in series with a 10K resistor, one end of which is connected to 3.3V and the other end is connected to ground; the single-chip microcomputer collects the voltage across the thermistor to obtain the voltage across the 10K resistor, and obtains the current value of the path according to Ohm's law I=U / R, and the voltage / current of the thermistor can obtain the resistance value of the thermistor, and the real-time temperature can be obtained by bringing the resistance value of the thermistor into the fitting curve of the thermistor RT (NTC1 is normal, only the temperature of NTC1 is calculated, when NTC1 is abnormal, the temperature of NTC2 is calculated, and when NTC1 and NTC2 are both abnormal, an NTC abnormality flag is set);

[0035] Step two: shunt resistance calculation

[0036] A large current can cause the shunt to heat up, thereby affecting the resistance value of the shunt, and the temperature of the shunt is compensated by the NTC to obtain the accurate resistance value at a certain temperature. There is a thermal resistance between the NTC sampling point and the shunt, and the relationship between the temperature difference and the thermal resistance is:△T=P x Rth, wherein△T is the temperature difference, P is the power, and Rth is the thermal resistance. The temperature difference△T between the NTC and the shunt is calculated by measuring the thermal resistance and the power of the shunt;

[0037] The temperature T measured by the NTC is the real temperature Tshunt of the shunt, and the real temperature Tshunt of the shunt is brought into the strain effect formula of the shunt to calculate the shunt resistance compensation ratio Rcomp, and finally the real resistance value Rshunt of the shunt can be calculated through the initial resistance value Ri*(1+Rcomp) of the shunt.

[0038] Step three: current collection process

[0039] The ADC internally integrates a PGA, amplifies the collected voltage value across the shunt by 25 times, and then converts the digital signal into a digital signal and transmits it to the single-chip microcomputer (the sampling frequency is 4KHz), the single-chip microcomputer calculates the voltage / resistance Rshunt to obtain the current, and outputs it to the CAN bus through the CAN chip, and the user directly reads the final result.
