Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sensor technology, and in particular to a low-power vibration sensor module. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, vibration sensor modules are often deployed in environments without a continuous external power supply, so power consumption control becomes the key factor determining their lifespan and practicality.
[0003] In existing technologies, sensors and their processing units (MCUs) continuously operate to capture vibration events, ensuring timely response but consuming extremely high power and rapidly depleting the battery. To reduce power consumption, a common practice is to keep the main control system in a long-term sleep state and wake it up using a simple level or frequency detection circuit. However, these simple wake-up circuits often have limited sensitivity, potentially missing weak but crucial vibration signals; they also have poor anti-interference capabilities, easily causing false wake-ups due to environmental noise (such as electrical noise or slight touches), leading to frequent and meaningless system startups, which actually increases overall power consumption.
[0004] The sensor designed by CN201120388964.X has high power consumption and poor anti-interference ability. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention addresses the problems of existing vibration sensors, such as limited sensitivity that may miss weak but critical vibration signals, poor anti-interference ability, and susceptibility to false wake-ups due to environmental noise, by providing a low-power vibration sensor module.

The gate of the second MOSFET M2, the gate of the sixth MOSFET M6, and the drain of the fifth MOSFET M5 are connected together and connected to the second voltage V2. The gate of the fifth MOSFET M5 is connected to the third voltage V3; The sources of the third MOSFET M3 and the fourth MOSFET M4 are connected to the power supply. The gate of the third MOSFET M3 and the gate of the fourth MOSFET M4 are connected together, as is the drain of the third MOSFET M3, and are connected to the drain of the first MOSFET M1. The drains of the second MOSFET M2 and the fourth MOSFET M4 are connected together to form a current comparison node, which is then connected to the positive input of the voltage hysteresis comparator U1.
[0010] Preferably, the negative input terminal of the voltage hysteresis comparator U1 is connected to the third voltage V3; the output terminal of the voltage comparator U1 is connected to the control terminal of the power management unit.

[0012] Preferably, the vibration wake-up unit also includes a wake-up source, and the wake-up methods of the wake-up source include external trigger wake-up, timed wake-up, and vibration signal threshold wake-up.
[0013] This utility model, by adopting the above technical solution, has significant technical effects: The sensor designed in this invention reduces the normally-on time of the main control unit and the multi-axis vibration sensor by using a vibration wake-up unit, thereby reducing average power consumption. Simultaneously, it improves the accuracy and adaptability of wake-up through multiple wake-up methods.
