Description

Weak current measuring device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of weak current measurement, in particular to a weak current measuring device.
Background
In recent years, the weak current detection technology has been widely applied to professional technologies such as medical field, measurement technology field, signal processing field, and circuit design field, and has promoted the vigorous development of the related professional technologies to some extent, such as medical science, physics, chemistry, electrochemistry, and biomedicine, which all develop new vitality due to the great progress of the weak current signal detection technology.
The weak current signal detection technology is a scientific technology which focuses on reducing the influence of noise on a detection signal and increasing the signal to noise ratio, and the recently appeared scientific technology is to use electronic knowledge and a signal measurement method to find out effective small current signals from a plurality of invalid signals. When detecting weak current signals, the weak current is difficult to directly detect, so that the weak current signals are generally converted into other signals which are easier to measure, and the magnitude of the weak current signals can be reversely deduced simply through the signals which are easier to measure.
However, when the weak current signal is detected, the noise can generate great interference on the weak current signal, which can affect the normal detection of the signal. The amplifying circuit not only amplifies weak current signals to be detected, but also amplifies various noises in the circuit, so that the accuracy of the final result of weak current detection is influenced. Therefore, it is very critical to reduce noise and precisely amplify the weak current signal to be measured in the detection process of the weak current signal. The noise of the weak current signal is very small when the weak current signal is detected, and the signal is weaker than the noise, so that the effective current signal cannot be detected only by increasing the signal, and the current signal to be detected can be detected only by increasing the size of the weak current signal under the condition of effectively reducing the noise. Therefore, the root cause, the propagation path and the propagation rule of the noise generation are analyzed, so that the noise can be specifically and effectively suppressed by adopting various effective methods.
At present, the price of the existing weak current measuring device is generally higher, and the noise interference is larger in the measuring process, so that the measuring has errors, and the measuring precision is low.

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1, in the embodiment of the present invention, the weak current measuring apparatus provided includes an I-V converting and amplifying circuit 1, an analog-to-digital converting circuit 2, a single chip microcomputer 3 and a display 4, which are connected in sequence; wherein the content of the first and second substances,
the I-V conversion and amplification circuit 1 is used for selecting a corresponding I-V conversion and amplification circuit to convert a voltage signal and carrying out noise suppression and signal amplification processing according to the type of a weak current signal to be detected; the types of the weak current signals to be detected comprise nano-ampere (nA) level weak current signals, pico-ampere (pA) level weak current signals and flying-ampere (fA) level weak current signals; the I-V conversion and amplification circuit 1 comprises an nA-level I-V conversion and amplification circuit 11 for processing nA-level weak current signals, a pA-level I-V conversion and amplification circuit 12 for processing pA-level weak current signals and an fA-level I-V conversion and amplification circuit 13 for processing fA-level weak current signals;

the singlechip 3 is used for analyzing the digital signal to obtain a voltage value and obtaining the current value of the weak current signal to be detected in a preset voltage and weak current mapping table according to the voltage value; it should be noted that the voltage and weak current mapping table is defined in advance and is obtained by mapping according to the magnitudes of weak currents of different levels;
and the display 4 is used for displaying the current value of the weak current signal to be detected and the corresponding voltage value.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the weak current signals to be detected include three types, i.e., a nano ampere (nA) level weak current signal, a pico ampere (pA) level weak current signal, and a flying ampere (fA) level weak current signal, so that the I-V converting and amplifying circuit 1 can flexibly combine and design the nA level I-V converting and amplifying circuit 11, the pA level I-V converting and amplifying circuit 12, and the fA level I-V converting and amplifying circuit 13, that is, the I-V converting and amplifying circuit 1 can be one or more combinations of the nA level I-V converting and amplifying circuit 11, the pA level I-V converting and amplifying circuit 12, and the fA level I-V converting and amplifying circuit 13. At this time, the specific structures and connection relationships of the nA-stage I-V converting and amplifying circuit 11, the pA-stage I-V converting and amplifying circuit 12, and the fA-stage I-V converting and amplifying circuit 13 are designed as follows:
(1) fig. 2 is a schematic circuit connection diagram of the nA-stage I-V conversion and amplification circuit 11. The nA-level I-V converting and amplifying circuit 11 includes a nA-level I-V converting circuit 111, a first inverting proportional voltage amplifying circuit 112, and a first common phase proportional voltage amplifying circuit 113, which are connected in sequence; wherein the content of the first and second substances,
the nA-stage I-V conversion circuit 111 includes a first operational amplifier IC1 and a first feedback resistor R1; the non-inverting input end (+) of the first operational amplifier IC1 is grounded, the inverting input end (-) is connected to a nano-ampere (nA) level weak current signal to be detected, and the output end is connected with the inverting input end of the first inverting proportional voltage amplifying circuit 112 through a resistor R2 and is also reversely connected with the inverting input end (-) of the first inverting proportional voltage amplifying circuit through a first feedback resistor R1;
the first inverting proportional voltage amplifying circuit 112 includes a second operational amplifier IC2 and a second feedback resistor R3; a non-inverting input terminal (+) of the second operational amplifier IC2 is grounded via a first voltage-dividing resistor R4, an inverting input terminal (-) is connected to the output terminal of the first operational amplifier IC1 of the nA-stage I-V conversion circuit 111 via a resistor R2, and an output terminal of the second operational amplifier IC2 is connected to the inverting input terminal of the first common-phase voltage amplification circuit 113 via a resistor R5 and is also connected in reverse to its own inverting input terminal (-) via a second feedback resistor R3;
the first same-phase voltage amplifying circuit 113 includes a third operational amplifier IC3 and a third feedback resistor R7; the non-inverting input terminal (+) of the third operational amplifier IC3 is connected to the output terminal of the second operational amplifier IC2 of the inverse proportional voltage amplifying circuit 112 through a resistor R5, the inverting input terminal (-) is grounded through a second voltage-dividing resistor R6, and the output terminal of the third operational amplifier IC3 is connected to the input terminal of the analog-to-digital converting circuit 2 and also connected to the inverting input terminal (-) thereof in reverse through a third feedback resistor R7.
The first operational amplifier IC1, the second operational amplifier IC2 and the third operational amplifier IC3 have the same structure and are AD8603 type operational amplifier chips; the first inverting proportional voltage amplifying circuit 112 and the first non-inverting proportional voltage amplifying circuit 113 each have an amplification factor of 10. It should be noted that, since the AD8603 type operational amplifier chip has two particularly excellent features of low offset voltage and input bias current, an equivalent large-resistance T-type resistor constructed by a small-resistance high-precision resistor is selected as a feedback resistor in the nA-level I-V conversion circuit 111, for example, the first feedback resistor R1 is 20M Ω, that is, a current feedback type operational amplifier circuit using a high-value resistor as a feedback resistor.
At this time, in the nA-level I-V conversion circuit 111, the input extremely small current signal exchanges the current signal with the voltage signal through a feedback resistor with a high resistance value, and as can be seen from fig. 2, the output weak voltage is a value related to the current of the nano-ampere (nA) level to be measured, the gain is related to the feedback network formed by the resistors, and the voltage is also in phase opposition to the current because the current of the nano-ampere (nA) level to be measured is input from the inverting terminal due to the negative feedback circuit.
Because of the current I of the current signal of the nanoampere (nA) level to be measurediThe current is very small, so that the first feedback resistor R1 needs to be very large, but the first feedback resistor R1 is not as large as possible, because the larger the feedback resistor is, the larger noise is generated on the whole circuit, and the noise can generate great interference on the detection of the weak current signal, so that the stability of the operational amplifier is reduced; the larger the feedback resistance, the larger the time constant of the circuit, which affects the accuracy and sensitivity of the overall circuit.
Through experiments and debugging, 20M omega is selected as the resistance value of the first feedback resistor R1. If the measured current is 1nA, the voltage generated by conversion of the nA-stage I-V conversion circuit 111 is-20 mV through a resistor of 20M omega serving as a feedback resistor, and the value does not meet the requirement of subsequent A/D conversion, so that voltage amplification is carried out. Experimental tests show that if the amplification factor is 10, the signal-to-noise ratio of the voltage amplification circuit can reach the highest value. According to the invention, by adopting the inverse proportional voltage amplifying circuit 112 with the amplification factor of 10 and the in-phase proportional voltage amplifying circuit 113 with the amplification factor of 10, for a voltage signal obtained by converting a weak current signal with 1nA through the nA-stage I-V converting circuit 111, a voltage with 2V can be obtained through the multi-stage voltage amplifying circuit consisting of the two operational amplifying circuits, and the number value can facilitate subsequent processing.
(2) Fig. 3 is a schematic circuit diagram of the pA stage I-V conversion and amplification circuit 12.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the structure and connection relationship of the fA-level I-V converting and amplifying circuit 13 in fig. 4 and the pA-level I-V converting and amplifying circuit 12 in fig. 3 are the same, but the design parameters of specific components are different according to the level of the weak current signal to be measured, so that the measurement requirements of the weak current signals of different levels can be met.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the second voltage follower circuit 133 is disposed between the third inverse proportional voltage amplifying circuit 132 and the third in-phase proportional voltage amplifying circuit 134, so as to isolate the influence of the output resistance of the third inverse proportional voltage amplifying circuit 132 on the input resistance of the third in-phase proportional voltage amplifying circuit 134, and avoid the adverse effect of the two-stage circuit on the fA-stage I-V conversion circuit 131.

At this time, when a weak current signal is measured, in order to achieve a good effect, the feedback resistor must be a high resistance resistor, and a high resistance resistor means high thermal noise, which may have a great influence on the high stability and high accuracy of the whole fA-stage I-V conversion and amplification circuit 13.

As shown in fig. 5, the circuit connection diagram of the analog-to-digital (a/D) conversion circuit, the single chip and the display is shown. The a/D conversion circuit 2 is an ADC0808 a/D converter, which is a commonly used successive approximation type a/D converter with a resolution of 8 bits.
The singlechip 3 selects an ATC89C51 type CPU chip, is a low-voltage high-performance CMOS8 bit microprocessor, and is provided with a programmable erasable 2K byte flash read-only memory. There are also 256 bytes of on-chip data memory, 32 bit I/O port lines, 2 16 bit timers, 15 vector two-level interrupt structure, an on-chip oscillator and clock circuits. And the AT89C51 type CPU may operate as static logic down to 0 Hz. While not running, the CPU may terminate operation, but the RAM, timer, interrupt system and serial communication port may still operate. The contents of the RAM are also stored during the power down protection mode, but the oscillator is locked from operation and does not allow any other components to operate, and the hardware reset is not completed. These are advantages of such a microprocessor and are well in accordance with the requirements of the present invention. The ports of the AT89C51 type CPU have VCC, GND, which are power and ground ports. Also P0 (I/O port with 8 bit open drain input output), P1 (I/O port with 8 bit input output with chip having pull-up resistor), P2 (I/O port with 8 bit input output with chip having pull-up resistor), P3 (I/O port with 8 bit input output with chip having pull-up resistor), RST (reset input pin, active high),/PSEN (strobe port determining enable external program memory selection), XTAL1 (input port of inverse oscillation amplifier), XTAL2 (output port corresponding to XTAL 1).
The display 4 is a 7SEG-MPXA-CC Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), which is a 4-bit common cathode 7-segment nixie tube, is lit at high level, and has 8-bit input ports and 4-bit nixie tube gating ports.
The function realized by fig. 5 is to input the analog voltage signal obtained by the previous stage circuit to the ADC0808 type a/D converter chip IC9, convert the analog voltage signal into a digital voltage signal, and perform the subsequent operation. The CLOCK input (CLOCK) of IC9 requires a CLOCK signal of no more than 640kHz, typically 500 kHz; the oscillator frequency of the selected CPU chip IC8 is 12MHz, and the output frequency of the ALE port in the IC8 is one sixth of the oscillation frequency, so that a clock signal of 500kHz can be generated by four-time frequency division. The three ports ADDC, ADDB, and ADDA in IC9 are three-bit address input ports that function to select one of the 8 inputs through. Since IN0 was selected, these three ports are grounded. The chip IC9 operates by inputting a three-bit address and having ALE equal to 1, allowing the address to be normally stored in the address latch, which is then decoded from one of the 8-way analog input ports to the following comparator. The rising edge of the START port input pulse signal will once approach the register and then reset, and the falling edge of this signal will turn on the a/D conversion, during which the EOC port output is always low. When the A/D conversion is successful, the EOC port stops outputting the low voltage and outputs the high voltage, and the result data is stored in the latch. If the output signal needs to input a high level to the OE port, the output tri-state gate can be opened, and the A/D conversion result can be output smoothly.
The connection condition of the voltage display circuit in fig. 5 is that the ports P2.3, P2.4, P2.5 and P2.6 of the CPU chip IC8 are connected to the START, ALE, EOC and OE ports of the chip IC 8. When an 8-bit I/O port of the IC8 is connected with an 8-bit output end of the IC9 and an internal clock of a CPU chip IC8 is adopted, a crystal oscillator of 12MHz is connected with ports of XTAL1 and XTAL2, two ports are grounded through a capacitor respectively, a needed clock signal can be generated, and the capacitor generally adopts 30pF or 33 pF. The EA port is an off-chip program memory access enable signal, low level is applicable, because the circuit only uses on-chip program memory, and is connected to high level. The P00-P08 ports of IC8 are externally connected with 8 pull-up resistors, where a RESPACK-8 exclusion is selected. In addition, the P00 to P08 ports of the IC8 are connected to the A, B, C, D, E, F, G, DP port of the LCD chip. And 4 ports P1.3, P1.2, P1.1 and P1.0 of the IC8 are connected with the gating port of the 4-bit nixie tube. Finally, the voltage value input by the A/D converter can be displayed on the nixie tube through a software program.

As can be seen from table 1, the conversion voltage value and the theoretical value of the weak current to be measured, which are obtained through the nA-stage I-V conversion and amplification circuit 11 in the range of 1nA to 10nA, have errors, but are all less than 1%, and are within the reasonable error range of the system.
Simulation shows that the final conversion result of the current of 1pA is 2.02V, the theoretical value is 2V, the error is only about 1% and is within a reasonable range, and therefore the pA-level weak current signal can be well measured after noise reduction improvement. Simulation measurement results of pA-level weak current signals are shown in table 2:
TABLE 2
Figure BDA0003128863030000162
As can be seen from table 2, the weak current to be measured has an error between the converted voltage value obtained by the pA-level I-V conversion and amplification circuit 12 and the theoretical value in the range of 1pA to 10 pA. Compared with the nA-stage I-V conversion and amplification circuit, the pA-stage I-V conversion and amplification circuit has the advantages that the distance between the conversion voltage value and the theoretical value is larger, but the distance is smaller than 2%, and the error range is reasonable.
According to simulation, the final conversion result of the current of 10fA is 2.02V, and the theoretical value is 2V, although the error is large, the range of the allowable measurement error is also included, so that the fA level weak current signal can be well measured through the improvement measure of noise reduction. Simulation measurement results of the fA-level weak current signal are shown in table 3:
TABLE 3
Figure BDA0003128863030000171
As can be seen from table 3, the conversion voltage value and the theoretical value of the weak current to be measured, which are obtained from 10fA to 100fA through the fA-level I-V conversion and amplification circuit 13, have a large error, but the current can also be detected within a reasonable range.
The implementation of the invention has the following beneficial effects:
the invention carries out weak current detection based on a transimpedance method, converts a weak current signal to be detected into a voltage signal which is easy to measure, reversely deduces the size of the weak current signal by measuring the voltage signal, and simultaneously utilizes a high-value resistor as a feedback resistor or a large-resistance T-shaped feedback network formed by small resistance values as the feedback resistor in an I-V conversion and amplification circuit to reduce noise, further amplifies the signal and inhibits the noise so as to quickly process subsequent signal data, thereby overcoming the problems of the existing weak current detection method, and having small noise, quick response time and quick signal processing.
