Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a communication module control circuit. Background Technology

[0002] In multi-bus communication scenarios, achieving compatible control across different buses is a key requirement for device interconnection. Traditional solutions often employ independent designs for communication functions on different buses: each bus has its own communication module, including independent level conversion components, signal interfaces, and power supply circuits. This distributed architecture results in multiple independent power supply, signal processing, and interface units within the circuit, leading to a bulky overall structure, large space occupation, and hindering device miniaturization. Furthermore, the lack of collaborative design between modules, with dispersed power supply circuits and cluttered signal interface layouts, increases wiring complexity and electromagnetic interference risks, affecting communication stability. The redundant design of independent modules also increases hardware costs and maintenance difficulty. These problems are particularly pronounced in scenarios requiring simultaneous support for two bus communications: the parallel setup of two independent communication modules results in low circuit integration and poor resource utilization, failing to meet the requirements of modern devices for compact structure, stable performance, and low cost. Therefore, how to integrate the communication functions of two buses into a single control circuit through integrated design, sharing power supply and interface resources, simplifying the structure, and improving stability has become the core direction for solving the multi-bus compatibility control problem.

[0035] Specific implementation process: When the dual-bus communication circuit is working, the control power supply first provides a stable +3.3V DC power supply to the first and second communication modules to ensure that each chip and component is powered on and working. For the first communication module, external devices are connected to the first bus lines A and B through the first external interface to achieve bidirectional communication: When receiving external signals, the signals are transmitted through the first bus lines A or B, and enter the first chip's pin 22 (bus A terminal) or pin 20 (bus B terminal) through the third or second resistor. The sixth, seventh, and eighth resistors respectively play a voltage division and stabilization role, while the first and second diodes provide overvoltage protection for the bus signals to prevent damage to the chip from voltages above the control power supply. After being processed internally by the first chip, the signals are output from the receiving output terminal at pin 17 through the first resistor. When sending signals, the control signals control the receiving enable terminal at pin 19 and the driving enable terminal at pin 21 of the first chip through the fourth and fifth resistors respectively, enabling the chip to enter the sending state. After being processed by the first chip, the signals are output from pin 22 or 20 to the first bus lines A and B, and then transmitted to the external devices through the first external interface. The first capacitor provides filtering for the power supply pin 18 of the first chip to ensure stable power supply. For the second communication module, the second chip connects to the second and third capacitors via pins 1 and 3, and pins 4 and 5 respectively, forming a charge pump circuit. This circuit, along with the fourth, fifth, and sixth capacitors connected to the positive and negative terminals of the charge pump (pin 2 and pin 6 respectively), performs voltage conversion, providing the necessary voltage for signal level conversion. External devices are connected via the second external interface. When receiving a signal, the external signal is transmitted to the ninth and tenth resistors via the first and second receiving terminals of the second external interface, respectively, and then enters the first receiving output terminal (pin 7) and the second receiving output terminal (pin 8) of the second chip. After processing by the chip, the signal is output from these two pins. When transmitting a signal, the signal is input to the first transmitting input terminal (pin 11) and the second transmitting input terminal (pin 10) of the second chip via the eleventh and twelfth resistors, respectively. After processing by the chip, the signal is transmitted to the external device via the first and second transmitting terminals of the second external interface. Pin 15 of the second chip is grounded, and pin 16 is connected to a +3.3V power supply to ensure normal operation. Throughout the process, the two communication modules operate independently, communicating with external devices through their respective buses, controlling the power supply to provide continuous power, and ensuring that the circuit can stably and reliably complete level conversion and data transmission through the coordinated action of resistors, capacitors, and diodes.
