Embodiment one:
As shown in Figure 3, bridge-type pressure sensor detection circuit comprises testing circuit, differential amplifier circuit and the judging unit of coming off that lead, and the testing circuit that comes off of leading comprises leading and detects network and voltage derived circuit.Two outfans of IBP pick off (being bridge-type pressure sensor) connect two node IBP+, IBP-in the detection network that leads respectively, the input of described voltage derived circuit links to each other with the detection network that leads, the outfan of described voltage derived circuit links to each other with judging unit, two inputs of differential wave amplifying circuit connect two outfans and described the leading of described bridge-type pressure sensor respectively and detect two connected node IBP+, IBP-of network, and the outfan of described differential amplifier circuit is coupled to described judging unit.
In the present embodiment, the described detection network that leads preferably adopts resistor network, comprise placed in-line the 4th resistance R 4 of order, the 5th resistance R 5, the 6th resistance R 6 and the 7th resistance R 7, the other end of the 4th resistance R 4 and the 7th resistance R 7 is ground connection respectively, first outfan of described bridge-type pressure sensor connects the connected node IBP+ of the 4th resistance R 4 and the 5th resistance R 5, and second outfan of described bridge-type pressure sensor connects the connected node IBP-of the 6th resistance R 6 and the 7th resistance R 7.
Described voltage derived circuit can be the circuit that comprises a buffer, and buffer can adopt the amplifier buffer to realize, as shown in Figure 3, the amplifier buffer connects into the form of voltage follower, and certainly, the amplifier buffer also can connect into other form.In the present embodiment, the input in the same way of described amplifier buffer connects the connected node of described the 5th resistance R 5 and the 6th resistance R 6, and the outfan of described amplifier buffer is coupled to judging unit.The voltage that the input in the same way of amplifier buffer is gathered is two output end voltage correlatives of bridge-type pressure sensor, what outfan was exported also is two output end voltage phase relation amounts of bridge-type pressure sensor, different according to the resistance of the 5th resistance R 5 and the 6th resistance R 6, the magnitude of voltage of being gathered is also different, the magnitude of voltage of gathering equals AX+BY, X wherein, Y represents the resistance of the 5th resistance R 5 and the 6th resistance R 6 respectively, A, B represents coefficient, coefficient magnitude is relevant with the ratio of the resistance of the 5th resistance R 5 and the 6th resistance R 6, calculate by dividing potential drop, when for example the resistance of the 5th resistance R 5 and the 6th resistance R 6 equates, coefficient A, B equals 1/2.
The differential wave amplifying circuit is used for two output end voltage signals of bridge-type pressure sensor are carried out the differential mode amplification, and outputs to described judging unit.Differential amplifier circuit preferably adopts instrument amplifier, and those skilled in the art also can adopt other differential amplifier according to practical situation or demand, for example three amplifier differential amplifier circuits.

In sum, IBP pressure transducer inside is bridge structure, and under the different faults pattern, the voltage of two output points has nothing in common with each other.The present invention makes full use of the construction features of bridge-type pressure sensor, realizing leading by the voltage of two output points of testing circuit detecting sensor comes off and failure judgment, for example can judge the open fault of pick off each several part and the short trouble between two parts.Compared with prior art, the reliability that having improved leads comes off and detect, and increased other fault detection capabilities of pick off, circuit structure is simple, cost is low, reliability is high.
More than be that example is illustrated to detect the IBP pressure transducer, in fact, testing circuit of the present invention also can be applicable to the bridge-type pressure sensor under the various situations.Further, the present invention can also use in the electric circuit inspection of using the resistance bridge structure in all cases.
Above content be in conjunction with concrete preferred implementation to further describing that the present invention did, can not assert that concrete enforcement of the present invention is confined to these explanations.For the general technical staff of the technical field of the invention, without departing from the inventive concept of the premise, can also make some simple deduction or replace, all should be considered as belonging to protection scope of the present invention.
