The duration t that decoding stage can be limited in line with the purpose is not up to threshold by inference in the duration Value SW.Voltage interruption Δ V is calculated according to the product of current strength I and duration t divided by the capacitor C of capacitor 18 herein.Example If decoded duration t can be 20ms, so that microprocessor 6 is with the current strength of such as 4mA of needs and 1000 μ F Capacitor causes the voltage interruption of 0.08V:
U (Δ electric discharge)=It/C=4mA20ms/1000 μ F=0.08V.
In addition, the voltage drop U (after electric discharge) and the voltage during charging that generate when electric current absorbs rise U (charging For example the battery of the cell voltage (U (bat)) with 3.3V can be determined afterwards) as follows:
U (after electric discharge)=U (Bat)-U (Δ electric discharge)=3,3-0,08=3,22V
U (after charging)=U (after electric discharge)+U (after Δ electric discharge) (1-e^ (- t/ τ)).
Also for example recovery time t can be exported by threshold value SW, wherein capacitor 18 can in order to restore the recovery time t of needs To be calculated according to timeconstantτ.Capacitor 18 is by the voltage U (Bat) of battery 17 via the electricity being connected in series with capacitor 18 The recovery of resistance 19 or charging exponential form carry out.The timeconstantτ of the series circuit of capacitor 18 and resistance 19 is resistance R and capacitor The product of device C.
τ=RC
For example, thus in cell voltage U (Bat)=3.3V, 2000 ohm of resistance and capacitor=1000 μ F capacitor The recovery time t for calculating 9.2 seconds in the case where device 18, wherein decoding must be turned off, to charge to capacitor 18:
U (after electric discharge)=0.99U (bat)
U (Δ charging)=U (after charging)-U (after electric discharge)
U (Δ charging)=U (Δ electric discharge) (1-e^ (- t/ τ))
U (Δ charging)/U (Δ electric discharge)=(1-e^ (- t/ τ))
E^ (- t/ τ)=1-U (Δ charging)/U (Δ electric discharge)
T=- τ ln (1-U (Δ charging)/U (Δ electric discharge))
1000 μ of τ=RC=2000 ohm F=2 seconds
T=-2ln (1- (0.990.08V)/(the 0.08V)) second
T=9.2 seconds.
