Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of detection circuit technology, and in particular to an isolation current detection circuit. Background Technology
[0002] As a core component of the power environment in communication equipment rooms, rectifier modules have stringent reliability requirements. Internally, the rectifier module needs to detect the output current; this state variable is a fundamental data acquisition signal used by the module to adjust output power and load distribution. Since base stations are often unattended, a malfunction in the output current detection could cause the base station to malfunction, affecting the stability and reliability of the communication network.
[0003] Chinese patent CN211527657U discloses a detection circuit based on a linear optocoupler-matched operational amplifier. It employs a temperature detection method using a cascaded linear optocoupler and operational amplifier, directly transmitting analog voltage signals via a linear optocoupler IL300, and performing signal processing through precision operational amplifier matching. However, due to the use of voltage signal transmission throughout, it suffers from insufficient anti-interference capability in communication power supply environments with significant electrical noise. The nonlinear characteristics of the linear optocoupler lead to signal distortion, and significant temperature drift results in unstable accuracy with varying operating environments. This makes it unsuitable for the high-precision current detection and load sharing requirements of communication base station rectifier modules. Utility Model Content
