In particular, when designing the reference voltage with high stability, the voltage reference source for the high-speed and high-precision ADC not only needs to meet the requirements of ADC precision and sampling rate, but also has lower temperature coefficient and higher power supply rejection ratio. The reference circuit is a circuit for providing reference for converting voltage from analog quantity to digital quantity, the circuit is critical to the whole circuit system, accurate and stable reference voltage is provided for other circuits in the system, and the current sources of most circuits in the system take the output of the reference circuit as reference. The system adopts the output voltage of the deeply buried zener diode as a reference standard, the zener diode has the advantages of low noise, good long-term stability and the like, and is a technical scheme of the optimal high-performance reference standard of the prior board-level circuit, but the output reference voltage of the zener diode is influenced by factors such as working current, temperature and the like, and the working current and the temperature must be controlled to obtain the optimal performance.
Reference internal structure as shown in fig. 3, Q1 is a temperature compensation transistor, and Q2 is a temperature sensing transistor.
Both parts take advantage of the PN junction temperature sensitivity of the transistor, whether heating control or temperature compensation control. The change in PN junction temperature produces a change in junction voltage drop that causes a change in base input current, and thus a voltage change occurs across the collector load resistor that drives the respective op-amp, which causes the respective load to transition in the desired direction. In addition, because the emitters of the two transistors are internally connected together and the emitter-base junctions are all positioned on the same silicon wafer, the voltage drop change trend of the junctions is similar at any working temperature.
The temperature compensation part circuit design is shown in fig. 4. The temperature of the reference voltage chip is controlled, and the output of the reference voltage chip is affected by the change of the temperature of the reference voltage chip, so that high precision and high speed cannot be ensured.
When the temperature changes, the base-emitter junction voltage drop of the temperature compensation tube also changes, and the change causes the base current to change, and further causes the collector current to correspondingly change, so that the collector load resistance is shown. The operational amplifier input voltage difference caused by the series of changes, and the working current input to the zener diode is adjusted through the output, so that the voltage on the sampling resistor changes, and the Ic of the temperature compensation transistor is kept at a certain value.
The temperature rise, the junction voltage drop of the transistor is reduced, the base current is increased, the collector potential is reduced, the output potential is reduced, the zener current is reduced, and the sampling resistance voltage drop is reduced. Otherwise, if the temperature decreases, the voltage drop across the final sampling resistor increases. In this process, the zener also changes due to the temperature, and the direction of change is opposite to the change of the junction voltage drop of the transistor, which forms a natural compensation relationship with the junction voltage drop of the transistor. Due to the negative feedback of the operational amplifier, the working current passing through the zener diode can change along with the change of temperature, which leads to the fact that the circuit is likely to be under-compensated when the temperature changes.
When the circuit is powered on, since the two input ends of the operational amplifier are low, if the operational amplifier is in negative offset, the Vout end can be clamped at the ground potential and can not be started, and therefore the output end of the operational amplifier is connected to Vout through an anti-reflection diode 1N4148, and the phenomenon can be prevented. In addition, a capacitor is connected to the collector of the temperature compensation transistor, which forms a simple low-pass filter with the collector load resistor, and the whole loop has high-pass filter characteristics.
The basic circuit of the temperature control part is as shown in fig. 5:
r3 is the collector load of the temperature sensing transistor, and R4 and R5 form a voltage divider for determining the operating bias of the temperature sensing transistor Q2.
When the ambient temperature changes, the voltage divider passes through enough current, so the change of the Q2 junction voltage drop only can change the base current and promote A1 to act, and the A1 increases heat or reduces heat by driving the triode heating resistor. If the temperature is increased at this time, the Q2 junction voltage drop decreases, the base current increases, the collector potential decreases, the A1 output decreases, and the heating resistance current decreases, otherwise the temperature increases by reverse change.
The voltage divider formed by R4 and R5 is connected across the reference voltage to give a specific voltage division point voltage according to a determined proportion. If the voltage division point voltage is unchanged, vbe2 of Q2 is also unchanged, and the heater is warmed or warmed by the change of the base current, thereby forcing the ambient temperature of the zener to remain at a temperature at which Vbe2 is equal to the voltage division point potential. Since the magnitude of Vbe2 is determined here in the form of a voltage divider, the temperature coefficient of the divided ratio has an important influence on the control characteristics.
The temperature control and the compensation are combined to control, so that the purpose of stabilizing the reference voltage is achieved. When the power is on in a cold state, the junction voltage drop Vbe1 of the temperature compensation transistor corresponds to the Vbe near the room temperature at the moment, and the operational amplifier A2 establishes a reference initial power supply. At this time, vbe2 of the temperature sensing transistor should be equal to Vbe1, but the proportional voltage given by the voltage dividers R4-R5 is lower, vbe2 is forced to be at a lower potential, so that the base current is smaller, the collector potential is higher, and the A1 outputs high potential full power energy to the heating resistor. The temperature rise gradually decreases Vbe2 to coincide with the potential given by voltage divider R4-R5, and the Q2 collector potential drop reduces the heater gain energy, thereby bringing the temperature close to and maintaining it at the desired temperature point. During this time, the reference voltage supplied to the voltage divider R4-R5 is kept substantially unchanged due to the self-regulation of the temperature compensation section, and the potential at the given voltage division point is also kept substantially unchanged, so that a temperature stabilization process is established.
Low noise amplifying circuit design: a low pass filter may be used for the sampled analog signal before it reaches the ADC to prevent out-of-band noise aliasing errors from occurring and to prevent the analog signal from generating superimposed high frequency noise. If the input signal noise exceeds one half of the converter sampling frequency, its noise amplitude remains unchanged, but the frequency changes when aliasing occurs in the signal. After digitizing the signal, the in-band noise can no longer be reduced by using a digital filter.
The conditioned signals are differential signals, so that the common-mode interference resistance is high, the signal to noise ratio is high, and the error of the mutual inductor small current measurement can be effectively compensated. The secondary output signal of the transformer is interfered by high-frequency noise and the like in transmission, the interference is suppressed by designing a low-pass filter, and the system adopts a second-order Butterworth low-pass filter for signal conditioning, as shown in fig. 6.
The analog front-end signal conditioning circuit must realize the highest possible signal-to-noise ratio, the design of low noise analog signals is crucial, the influence of space temperature and magnetic field disturbance is avoided from noise sources, an operational amplifier with extremely low noise and a gain resistor with low noise are selected, the influence of system signal background noise and common mode voltage is reduced by adopting the structure of an instrument amplifier, the sampling signal-to-noise ratio reaches 126db through the processing, and high-stability measurement is realized.
High-precision ADC circuit design: as shown in fig. 7, the system adopts 24-32bit ADC sampling technology, and has a maximum resolution of 32bit in low output rate mode, and in combination with digital filter technology, has a resolution of 24bit in ac sampling mode, and can select different digital filter configurations according to the measurement signal, thereby reducing the influence of noise on the measurement signal and realizing high-stability measurement. The conditioned signals are input into an ADC acquisition chip, the digitized values of the signals are obtained through high-precision acquisition conversion, and then the digitized values are transmitted to an FPGA through an isolation chip for algorithm processing, so that the accurate voltage and current measured values are finally obtained.
In another embodiment, a high-precision alternating current testing method is disclosed, comprising:
the detected current is converted into small current through a two-stage transformer and then is converted into voltage which can be measured by an ADC through sampling circuits with different measuring ranges;
the voltage is transmitted to the ADC for data acquisition after passing through the low-noise small-signal amplifier and the high-precision follower.
The method comprises the following specific steps: after the detected current I1 is input into the primary coil of the two-stage transformer, the small current I2 induced by the secondary coil of the transformer is converted into small voltage through the relay sampling circuit by selecting different measuring ranges, and the small voltage is conditioned into a differential signal through the low-noise amplifier and is transmitted to the high-speed ADC through the high-precision follower. The ADC converts the voltage analog quantity into digital quantity and transmits the digital quantity to the microprocessor for processing and interface display.
