All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
An embodiment of the present invention provides an addressable laser driving circuit, and fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the addressable laser driving circuit provided in the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, it includes a control module 110, a driving signal input module 120, an addressing module 130, a plurality of driving modules 140, and a plurality of current testing modules 150; the driving signal input module 120 is connected with the control module 110, the driving signal input module 120 is connected with the addressing module 130, the addressing module 130 has a plurality of output ends, each output end is connected with one driving module 140 to form a channel, and each driving module 140 is connected with one current testing module 150; the control module 110 is configured to provide an addressing signal to the addressing module 130 through the driving signal input module 120, where the channels correspond to addresses in the addressing signal one to one, and the addressing module 130 is configured to turn on the channels corresponding to the addresses according to the addressing signal; the driving signal input module 120 is configured to provide a driving signal for the addressing module 130, and the driving module 140 is configured to start the laser according to the driving signal and form a driving current; the current test module 150 is used for detecting the driving performance of the driving module 140 according to the driving current.
The addressable laser driver circuit is composed of a control module 110, a driving signal input module 120, an addressing module 130, a plurality of driving modules 140, and a plurality of current testing modules 150. The control module 110 is the general control center of the whole circuit and can generate not only addressing signals with addresses but also driving signals. The driving signal input module 120 has a plurality of information transmission channels, and different information received by the driving signal input module 120 can be transmitted to a specific module or device through different information transmission channels. The addressing module 130 has a driving signal input terminal, at least one addressing signal input terminal, and at least two output terminals, each output terminal is connected to the driving module 140 to form a channel, and the addressing signal input terminal of the addressing module 130 can gate the driving signal input terminal of the addressing module 130 to be conducted with a different output terminal according to an address in the addressing signal, so that the different output terminals of the addressing module 130 can be selected according to the address to output the driving signal. The driver module 140 is an implementation of the overall circuit, and is capable of activating the laser. The current testing module 150 is used for obtaining the driving current generated by the driving module 140 so as to detect the driving performance of the driving module 140.
Specifically, the driving signal input module 120 is connected to the control module 110, the driving signal input module 120 is connected to the addressing module 130, the addressing module 130 has a plurality of output terminals, each output terminal is connected to one driving module 140 to form a channel, and each driving module 140 is connected to one current testing module 150. Therefore, the addressing signal generated by the control module 110 may provide the addressing signal to the addressing module 130 through the driving signal input module 120, and after receiving the addressing signal, the addressing module 130 correspondingly turns on the channel formed by the addressing module 130 and the driving module 140 according to the address in the addressing signal.

The larger the driving current generated by the driving module 140 is, the stronger the driving capability of the driving module 140 is. The current test module 150 connected to the driving module 140 may collect the driving current generated by the driving module 140, so that the driving performance of the driving module 140 may be easily detected by the magnitude of the driving current.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the control module generates the addressing signal and transmits the addressing signal to the addressing module through the driving signal input module, so that the addressing module conducts the conducting channel corresponding to the address in the addressing signal, and the driving module corresponding to the conducting channel receives the driving signal transmitted by the driving signal input module, so that the driving module starts the laser connected with the driving module. Meanwhile, the current testing module can also acquire the driving current generated by the driving module, so that the driving performance of the driving module can be accurately obtained.
Alternatively, the addressing module may be an analog switch chip of 74HCT4067BQ type, which can be connected to 16 driving modules at most. Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram illustrating connection between an addressing module and a driving module according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, 12 output terminals of the addressing module 130 are respectively connected to a driving module, that is, the output terminal B1 of the control module is connected to the driving module 1401 to form a channel 0, the output terminal B2 of the control module is connected to the driving module 1402 to form a channel 1, the output terminal B3 of the control module is connected to the driving module 1403 to form a channel 2, and so on, the output terminals B4-B12 of the driving module respectively form channels 3-11 with the driving modules 1404-1412. The input port a1, the input port a2, the input port A3, and the input port a4 of the addressing module 130 are ports that receive addressing signals. The input port IN of the control module is a port that receives the driving signal transmitted by the driving signal input module. If the addressing signals inputted from the input port a1, the input port a2, the input port A3 and the input port a4 of the addressing module 130 are 0000, the output port B1 of the control module is connected to the driving module 1401 to form a channel 0, and the driving signal received from the input port IN of the control module is transmitted to the driving module 1401 through the channel 0. If the addressing signals input by the input port a1, the input port a2, the input port A3, and the input port a4 of the addressing module 130 are 0001, the output port B2 of the control module is connected to the driving module 1402 to form a channel 1, and the driving signal received by the input port IN of the control module is transmitted to the driving module 1402 through the channel 1. By analogy, the addressing signals 0010-. Therefore, the control module can transmit a driving signal to the driving module corresponding to the conducting channel through the addressing module 130, so that the driving module can start the laser and generate a driving current, and the current testing module can conveniently detect the driving performance of the driving module.

If the driving signal input module 120 selects the second driving signal provided by the control module 110 as the source of the driving signal transmitted to the driving module 140, the driving signal input module 120 forms a driving signal according to the second driving signal; if the driving signal input module 120 selects the first driving signal provided by the external signal input module 160 as the source of the driving signal transmitted to the driving module 140, the driving signal input module 120 forms the driving signal according to the first driving signal. The external signal input module 160 can increase the driving signal sources of the addressable laser driving circuit, thereby improving the reliability of the addressable laser driving circuit.
Fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of another addressable laser driving circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 4, the driving signal input module includes an interface unit 121; a first input end of the interface unit 121 is connected to the control module 110, a second input end of the interface unit 121 is connected to the external signal input module 160, and a first output end of the interface unit 121 is connected to the addressing module 130; the control module 110 is configured to transmit the addressing signal to the addressing module 130 through the interface unit 121, and the interface unit 121 is configured to transmit the driving signal to the addressing module 130.

Specifically, the second output terminal of the interface unit 121 is connected to the first terminal of the input selection unit 122, and the second terminal of the input selection unit 122 is connected to the addressing module 130. When the interface unit 121 receives the first driving signal forming driving signal provided by the external signal input module 160 and the second driving signal forming driving signal provided by the control module 110, the first driving signal forming driving signal and the second driving signal forming driving signal are simultaneously transmitted to the input selection unit 122. The input selection unit 122 may select whether to transmit a driving signal formed of a first driving signal provided from the external signal input module 160 to the address module 130 or to transmit a driving signal formed of a second driving signal provided from the control module 110 to the address module 130.
Illustratively, the input selection unit may be a dial selection switch. Fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of a dial selection switch according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 6, the input terminal P1 of the dial switch is connected to the control module through the interface unit, and is configured to receive a driving signal formed by a second driving signal provided by the control module. The input end P2 of the dial switch is connected to the external signal input module through the interface unit, and is configured to receive a first driving signal provided by the external signal input module to form a driving signal. When the switch S1 inside the dial switch is closed and the switch S2 is open, the driving signal formed by the second driving signal provided by the control module is transmitted from the output terminal OUT of the dial switch to the addressing module; when the switch S2 inside the dial switch is closed and the switch S1 is opened, the first driving signal provided by the external signal input module forms a driving signal, and the driving signal is transmitted from the output terminal OUT of the dial switch to the addressing module.

Specifically, the third input end of the interface unit 121 is connected to an external high voltage power supply, and the third output end of the interface unit 121 is connected to the power module 170, so that the power module 170 can be connected to the external high voltage power supply through the interface unit 121, and the high voltage power supply transmitted by the external high voltage power supply is converted into a voltage signal suitable for the control module 110, the addressing module 130, and the driving module 140, so as to supply power to the control module 110, the addressing module 130, and the driving module 140.
Optionally, the power supply module comprises a dc/dc conversion module; the direct current/direct current conversion module is used for converting a high-voltage power supply signal generated by an external high-voltage power supply into a low-voltage power supply signal.
The direct current/direct current conversion module can convert a high-voltage power supply signal generated by an external high-voltage power supply into a low-voltage power supply signal. The power supply module comprises a direct current/direct current conversion module, so that a high-voltage power supply signal can be converted into a low-voltage power supply signal suitable for the control module, the addressing module and the driving module, and therefore, the power supply of a single power supply is realized without the supply of an external low-voltage power supply.

The voltage stabilizing unit 142 may maintain the stability of the high voltage power signal input by the power module, for example, the voltage stabilizing unit 142 may filter the high voltage power signal input by the power module to keep the input high voltage power signal substantially unchanged. The current limiting unit 143 may reduce the charging current of the charging/discharging unit 144 when the charging/discharging unit is charged, and prevent the charging/discharging unit 144 from being damaged due to an excessive input current of the charging/discharging unit 144. The charging and discharging unit 144 may store electric energy during charging, and may provide a large electric energy to the laser 200 during discharging, increasing the driving current to start the laser 200.

When the addressing module turns on the channel formed by the driving chip 141, the driving module may receive the driving signal transmitted by the channel formed by the addressing module and the driving chip 141. When the driving signal is a high pulse, the output Q2 of the driving chip 141 is electrically connected to the ground Q3 of the driving chip 141, i.e., the first end of the laser 200 is grounded. At this time, the power module and the charging and discharging unit 144 simultaneously supply power to the second end of the laser 200, and an energizing loop is formed at both ends of the laser 200, thereby starting the laser 200. When the driving signal is a low pulse, the output terminal Q2 of the driver chip 141 is disconnected from the ground terminal Q3 of the driver chip, and the two terminals of the laser 200 cannot form a power-on loop, so that the laser 200 cannot be started.
