The digital circuit embodiment of oscillator/correcting circuit 64 shown in Figure 2 sees Fig. 5.Circuit 64 comprises that have three inputs and a door 130.First input end connects is calibration pulse on the lead 36.The oscillator correction instruction that the instruction decoder 58 that the reception of second input is come through lead 62 biographies sends.The 3rd input termination be clock signal on the lead 70.Described when not only receiving calibration pulse but also receive the oscillator correction instruction with reference to Fig. 9 with the working condition of door 130, one group of clock pulse that lead 70 transmits is passed through and door 130, arrives the input end of clock of counter 132.The number that the pulse of receiving between alignment epoch is counted is stored among the counter 132, the A input of subtractor unit 136 is delivered in this step-by-step counting through lead 134, the B input of subtractor unit 136 links to each other with reference count register 138, and this register provides a reference count to unit 136.Subtractor unit 136 produces an error count, and it is the difference of the counting of A, B input, is B-A in the present embodiment.This error count is sent to the A input of adder unit 142 through lead 140.The output of adder unit 142 is control countings, and it is transferred into the input of a delay time register 148.Control is counted the process delay time register and is returned the B input of adder unit 142 through lead 144.Lead 144 also links to each other with the input of D/A 146.D/A 146 produces a control signal, and this control signal is sent to the voltage-controlled oscillator 160 that produces a clock output on lead 70.
Detonation circuit 64 also comprises a timing pulse generator 162, and it discharges the order of work of circuit 64.Generator 162 is not only received calibrating signal on lead 36, but also receives clock signal on lead 70.The output signal that calibration input signal and generator 162 produce is shown among Fig. 6.The beginning input of generator 162 receives calibration pulse.When receive this pulse back along the time, begin to produce control impuls.Receive calibration pulse back along the time, according to clock signal, produce a series of commutator pulses, they are marked by pulse A, B, C, D and E.Pulse A is sent to subtractor unit 136 through lead 164, makes it produce error count on lead 140.Pulse B is sent to adder unit 142 through lead 166, make its with the input signal on A and the B mutually adduction on lead 144, produce the control counting.Pulse C is sent to the bolt input of delay time register 148 through lead 168, and the control counting is shifted from delay time register 148.Pulsed D is sent to the conversion input of D/A through lead 170, makes digital input signals be converted to an analog output signal, and this analog output signal is a control signal.It is sent to voltage-controlled oscillator 160.Commutator pulse E is sent to the zero clearing input of counter 102 through lead 172.It is to counter 132 zero clearings, so that ready to count with door 130 and oscillator 160 next time.
Do detailed description referring now to Fig. 5,6 and 9 pairs of trigger circuit 64.The purpose of this circuit is to make the frequency of oscillator 160 compare into a kind of predetermined relation with calibration pulse 36, and calibration pulse 36 is to be produced by the crystal oscillator in the control unit 12 15.For example, the operating frequency of the crystal oscillator in the control unit 12 can be 10MHz.This crystal oscillator has very high stability, and the order of magnitude is 10 -10The calibration pulse that transmits through lead 36 for example can have 1/10 in 1 second time 6Second precision, or error ± 1 millisecond.The clock signal decision that the cycle of calibration pulse and precision are produced by oscillator 15.In addition, in most preferred embodiment, voltage-controlled oscillator 160 can produce the output signal that frequency is 100KHz.Like this, exist 100: 1 timing relationship between the frequency of the voltage to frequency control generator 160 of crystal oscillator 15.In the ideal case, the output signal frequency that oscillator 160 produces just in time is 100KHz, and precision is 1/10 6Yet, in actual applications, can not produce and have so high-precision oscillator 160.In most cases, frequency change may reach 10~20%, and this depends on the factor of many variations, as manufacturing tolerance, temperature, humidity and pressure, or the like.Yet importantly oscillator 160 has a short time stability of (being approximately 10 seconds), and precision is 1/10 6In this most preferred embodiment, timing relationship predetermined between time reference source (oscillator 15) and the voltage-controlled oscillator 160 is 100: 1.Yet the method according to this invention equally also can adopt other relation to calibrate.Actual frequency and relation depend primarily on the precision that required time postpones.The present invention will reach a kind of like this target, that is: maximum delay time is 10 seconds, and time of delay, error was 10 milliseconds, that is to say that precision is 1/10 6
In the course of the work, calibration pulse is sent to and door 130 through lead 36, and instruction decoder 58 is received a calibration command before this, so that the beginning calibration process.Decoder 58 produces the oscillator correction instruction on lead 62.It makes with door 130 and opens.When receiving oscillator correction instruction and calibration pulse, the output of voltage-controlled oscillator 160 is through arriving counter 132 with door 130.As a result, counter is counted the pulse of being sent by oscillator 160 in a period of time that occurs in calibration pulse.If voltage-controlled oscillator 160 is operated under the accurate preset frequency, just produces this counting of desirable counting so during this period and be stored in the reference count register 138.This reference count in subtractor unit 136 with lead 134 on step-by-step counting compare.Error count should be zero if the operating frequency of oscillator 160 is very accurate.Yet in fact this error count has certain value.The size of error count depends on the bias of voltage-controlled oscillator frequency and its optimum frequency.Error count on the lead 140 is sent to the A input of unit 142.Be stored in the current control counting in the delay time register 148, be sent to the B input of unit 142 through lead 144.When receiving the clock signal B that timing pulse generator 162 sends, error signal on the lead 140 and the addition of previous control counting produce a new control signal, and this new control signal is passed to delay time register 148.When receiving time sequential pulse D, D/A carries out another conversion to the counting of input, produces a control signal, and this signal is sent to voltage-controlled oscillator 160.When non-vanishing, this new control signal changes the frequency of oscillator 160 if error count has certain numerical value.
The output frequency that process described above (promptly just under the situation of single calibration pulse) can make voltage-controlled oscillator 160 is near desired frequency, as long as fully individual counter and register have enough sizes to go to handle the side-play amount of maximum possible.Yet, for more economical operational mode, be that used element is few, smaller, may make oscillator 160 reach final desired calibration, and make the approaching desired frequency of output frequency of oscillator 160 by the calibration pulse sequence is provided through lead 36.When receiving other calibration pulse, its course of work is same as described above.
Also may need a plurality of calibration pulses,,, can utilize a plurality of calibration pulses to go to obtain final desired oscillator precision with being inaccurate even each circuit all has enough amplifying powers because know the gain in whole loop.This process is shown in Figure 11.During first calibration pulse 200, measuring oscillator 160 produces 100,100 pulses and proofreaies and correct.Trimming process has changed the frequency of oscillator, so that during second calibration pulse 202, produce 100,010 pulses.Carry out trimming process again.Like this, after through calibration, near desired frequency 100,000Hz.Must be pointed out that pulse 200,202 is the same with time of 204, but the frequency of oscillator 160 changes.Concrete hereto example, loop gain is approximately 0.9.The ifs circuit gain is 1.0, so just might proofread and correct with a calibration pulse, as long as individual count device, register and arithmetic operation unit can be handled the size and the error count of counting.
Instruction decoder 58 sees for details in Fig. 7.Data-signal on the lead 56 is delivered to the data input pin of serial shift register 220.This shift register has two sections.First section is identification code position section, and second section is command code position section.The output of identification code position section is sent to identification code comparator 224 through lead 222.The output of command code position section is sent to instruction decoder 228 through lead 226, and identification code memory 80 provides identification code concerning a specific detonation circuit, and this identification code is delivered to second input of identification code comparator 224 through lead 82.Data on the lead 56 are also delivered to the data input pin of second serial shift register 230.
