[0025] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0026] This application provides a three-stage amplifier circuit for temperature signal acquisition from a switch, referring to... Figure 1 The circuit includes a signal input terminal Vin, a signal output terminal Vout, a power supply, a first transistor Q1, a second transistor Q2, a third transistor Q3, first to fourth resistors R1 to R4, a first capacitor C1, and a second capacitor C2. The base of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the signal input terminal Vin via the first capacitor C1. When the switch temperature signal is input through Vin, the first capacitor C1 acts as an input coupling capacitor, isolating the DC component and allowing only the AC signal to enter the base of the first transistor Q1. The emitter of the first transistor Q1 is grounded, and its collector is connected to the base of the second transistor Q2, so that the amplified switch temperature signal is input to the second transistor Q2 through its collector.

[0027] A first resistor R1 is connected between the base of the second transistor Q2 and the positive terminal VCC of the power supply. R1 acts as a voltage divider resistor for the base of the second transistor Q2. The collector of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the base of the third transistor Q3, and its emitter is grounded. The switch temperature signal, amplified by the second transistor Q2, enters the base of the third transistor Q3 through the collector of the second transistor Q2.

[0028] A second resistor R2 is connected between the base of the third transistor Q3 and the positive terminal VCC of the power supply. The second resistor R2 serves as the base voltage divider resistor for the third transistor Q3. The collector of the third transistor Q3 is connected to the positive terminal VCC of the power supply, and the emitter is connected to the signal output terminal Vout through the second capacitor C2.

[0029] One end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the emitter of the third transistor Q3, and the other end is grounded. One end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected between the second capacitor C2 and the signal output terminal Vout, and the other end is grounded. The third resistor R3, acting as the emitter resistor of the third transistor Q3, provides DC negative feedback, stabilizing the quiescent operating point of Q3. The fourth resistor R4 serves as the load resistor for the signal output terminal Vout.

[0030] Furthermore, a fifth resistor R5 is connected between the first capacitor C1 and the signal input terminal Vin. The fifth resistor R5 acts as a series resistor at the input terminal, and together with the second capacitor C2, they form a high-pass filter to filter out low-frequency interference.

[0031] Furthermore, the emitter of the second transistor Q2 is connected to a sixth resistor R6, the other end of which is connected to a seventh resistor R7, the other end of which is grounded. The base of the first transistor Q1 is connected between the sixth resistor R6 and the seventh resistor R7. The sixth resistor R6 and the seventh resistor R7 together form a base voltage divider bias for the first transistor Q1.

[0032] Furthermore, the three-stage amplification circuit for acquiring the switch temperature signal also includes an eighth resistor R8 and a third capacitor C3. One end of the eighth resistor R8 is connected to the base of the first transistor Q1, and the other end is connected between the sixth resistor R6 and the seventh resistor R7. The third capacitor C3 is a polarized capacitor, with its positive terminal connected between the sixth resistor R6 and the seventh resistor R7, and its negative terminal grounded. The eighth resistor R8 and the third capacitor C3 form an RC filter circuit to filter out high-frequency noise in the switch temperature signal.

[0033] Furthermore, the three-stage amplifier circuit for acquiring the temperature signal from the switch also includes a ninth resistor R9 and a tenth resistor R10. The tenth resistor R10 is connected between the emitter of the first transistor Q1 and ground. One end of the ninth resistor R9 is connected between the fifth resistor R5 and the first capacitor C1, and the other end is grounded. The ninth resistor R9 and the tenth resistor R10 serve as negative feedback resistors for the emitter of the first transistor Q1, which can stabilize the DC operating point and improve linearity.

[0034] Furthermore, an eleventh resistor R11 and a fourth capacitor C4 are connected in series between the emitter of the third transistor Q3 and the emitter of the first transistor Q1. The eleventh resistor R11 is the emitter resistor of the third transistor Q3, which limits the output stage current and provides local negative feedback. The fourth capacitor C4 prevents DC components from affecting the load and transmits only AC signals. At the same time, since the emitter of the third transistor Q3 is also connected to the third resistor R3, the third resistor R3 also serves as the emitter resistor of the second transistor Q2, thereby providing DC negative feedback for the second transistor Q2 and stabilizing the quiescent operating point of the second transistor Q2.

[0035] Furthermore, the first transistor Q1, the second transistor Q2, and the third transistor Q3 are NPN type transistors. For example, their model number could be 2N2222.

[0036] This application provides a three-stage amplification circuit for acquiring temperature signals from a switch. Through the arrangement of the first to third transistors, when the switch temperature signal is input through the signal input terminal, it first undergoes a first-stage amplification by the first transistor, and then enters the second transistor from the collector of the first transistor for a second-stage amplification. Afterward, the amplified switch temperature signal enters the third transistor from the collector of the second transistor. The third transistor, acting as an emitter follower, reduces the output impedance of the switch temperature signal. Finally, the amplified switch temperature signal is output through the signal output terminal, achieving accurate acquisition of the switch temperature signal and meeting the amplification requirements of weak signals.

[0037] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this application.
