In the embodiments of the present invention, the first electrodes of all the transistors are referred to as drains, and the second electrodes are referred to as sources.
In the embodiments of the present invention, the term "electrically connected" may mean that two components are directly electrically connected, or may mean that two components are electrically connected via one or more other components; "electrically connected" may mean electrically connected by a wire, or may mean electrically connected by a radio signal.
With the development of science and technology, ultrasonic waves are applied more and more widely, for example, the ultrasonic wave can be applied to the fields of industrial nondestructive inspection, distance measurement and thickness measurement, agricultural breeding, seedling culture and spawning promotion, biological and medical diagnosis and treatment, fingerprint identification in consumer electronics and the like, so that ultrasonic sensors utilizing ultrasonic waves are also researched more and more widely.
The generation principle and the reception principle of ultrasonic waves in the ultrasonic sensor of fig. 1 and 2 are explained below, respectively. Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the ultrasonic sensor includes an upper electrode (Top electrode), a piezoelectric material layer (polymer), and a lower electrode (Bottom electrode), the piezoelectric material layer being disposed between the upper electrode and the lower electrode. Wherein the upper electrode and the lower electrode are arranged in a whole layer.
Referring to fig. 1, a voltage having a phase difference may be input between the upper electrode and the lower electrode, for example, an Alternating Current (AC) voltage may be input to the upper electrode and the lower electrode, and at this time, the piezoelectric material layer may be deformed to generate an acoustic wave, where the acoustic wave is an ultrasonic wave.
Referring to fig. 2, an object reflects sound waves, and the sound waves are converted into an AC voltage when reflected to the piezoelectric material layer, and at this time, if the upper electrode is grounded, the lower electrode can serve as a receiving terminal to output the AC voltage.
The material of the piezoelectric material layer may include a polymer piezoelectric material, for example: PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride), PVDF-TrFE (Poly (Vinylidene Fluoride-Co-trifluorethylene), polyvinylidene Fluoride Trifluoroethylene), and the like; alternatively, the material of the piezoelectric material layer may include inorganic materials such as: alN (aluminum nitride), PZT (lead zirconate titanate piezoelectric ceramic), znO (zinc oxide), and the like.

Referring to fig. 3, PZT emits sound waves to the object, the sound waves reflected by the object are emitted to the ultrasonic sensor, and the ultrasonic sensor receives the sound waves reflected by the object, converts the sound waves into an electric signal, and transmits the electric signal to the TFT driving circuit through the RX electrode. At the moment, the PZT transmits an excitation signal, and the transmitting energy of a PZT sound source is larger.
Note that in fig. 3, the acoustic wave is generated by PZT, and the ultrasonic sensor receives only the acoustic wave. It is of course also possible that the ultrasonic sensor itself generates and receives sound waves, and this is not particularly limited here.
In traditional medical ultrasonic imaging, ultrasonic focusing beams are usually used for detecting human tissues, and due to the fact that the focusing beams are narrow, each time of focusing imaging is linear, after images focused by multiple times of scanning are spliced into a two-dimensional image, a probe is moved and scanned into a three-dimensional image. The technology has the defects of slow imaging speed, complex equipment structure, generally only 30 frames/second and the like. In order to solve the problem, fig. 4 provides a large-area integrated flexible ultrasonic sensor, and referring to fig. 4, the ultrasonic sensor can be integrally covered on the surface of human tissue, such as the back, the belly, the arms, the thighs and other large tissue surfaces of the human body, so as to realize the advantages of high-precision, large-area, multi-dimensional real-time imaging and the like.
However, in the existing large-area integrated flexible ultrasonic sensor, the ultrasonic control circuit often has the bottom noise problems of thermal noise, flicker noise, shot noise and the like, and the bottom noise of the ultrasonic control circuit in the ultrasonic sensor may cause ultrasonic signal distortion and the like, so that the effectiveness of an image cannot be ensured, and the user experience is poor.
In order to solve the above problem, an embodiment of the present application provides an ultrasound control circuit, as shown in fig. 5 and 7, including:

At this time, the ultrasonic control circuit outputs an electric signal having a noise floor (noise floor) of the ultrasonic control circuit.
The second state may be a state in which the ultrasonic sensor transmits a signal, and the signal affects the potential of the third node. The ultrasonic control circuit outputs an electric signal having a noise floor (noise floor) of the ultrasonic control circuit and an effective signal, wherein the effective signal is an echo signal of an object.

The first node, the second node, and the third node are defined only for convenience of describing a circuit structure, and the first node, the second node, and the third node are not an actual circuit unit.

When the ultrasonic control circuit is in the second state, because the first reset sub-circuit does not work, if the ultrasonic sensor transmits an echo signal, the echo signal can affect the electric potential of the third node, the electric potential of the third node changes, and at the moment, the ultrasonic control circuit can obtain a signal with background noise and a second electric signal of an effective signal. Therefore, the effective signal of the ultrasonic control circuit is obtained by subtracting the first electric signal from the second electric signal, and further can be better analyzed according to the effective signal.

The specific number of the ultrasonic control circuits is not limited, and for example, the ultrasonic control circuit may include one; alternatively, the ultrasonic control circuit may include a plurality of circuits, which are not particularly limited herein. Fig. 10 is a diagram showing an example in which the number of the ultrasonic control circuits is two.
The following description will be given taking an example in which the ultrasonic monitoring device includes two electrically connected ultrasonic control circuits.
Referring to fig. 10, the column select lines 11 of the two ultrasonic control circuits are electrically connected so that when the fourth transistor M4 of one of the ultrasonic control circuits is turned on, the fourth transistor M4 of the other ultrasonic control circuit is turned off, and thus the electric signal of the ultrasonic control circuit in which the fourth transistor M4 is turned on is read.
The embodiment of the application provides an ultrasonic monitoring device, when the ultrasonic control circuit in this ultrasonic monitoring device is in the first state, because first reset sub-circuit is configured to reset first node under the control of the first reset signal of first reset signal line, so no matter whether ultrasonic sensor transmits echo signal, this echo signal can not influence the electric potential of third node, the third node can keep the first reset signal of first reset signal line, ultrasonic control circuit can obtain the first signal of telecommunication with background noise this moment. When the ultrasonic control circuit is in the second state, because the first reset sub-circuit does not work, if the ultrasonic sensor transmits an echo signal, the echo signal can affect the electric potential of the third node, and the electric potential of the third node changes, at the moment, the ultrasonic control circuit can obtain a second electric signal of a signal with background noise and an effective signal. Therefore, the effective signal of the ultrasonic control circuit is obtained by subtracting the first electric signal from the second electric signal, and further can be better analyzed according to the effective signal.
The embodiment of the application also provides a driving method for driving the ultrasonic control circuit.
The method comprises the following steps:
s1, writing a first reset signal into a first reset signal line in a first state stage.
And S2, in the second state stage, the first reset signal is not written into the first reset signal line.
The operation principle of the ultrasonic control circuit shown in fig. 9 provided in this embodiment will be described in detail below by taking the first transistor, the second transistor, the third transistor, the fourth transistor, the fifth transistor, the sixth transistor, the seventh transistor, the eighth transistor, the ninth transistor, and the 8+ N transistor as N-type transistors as examples, and combining the timing diagrams of the signal lines shown in fig. 6. Note that in fig. 11 to 16, the transistor is off by an "x" mark.
In the period from t1 to t2 in fig. 6, a high level is input to the first control signal line Drst, the voltage signal line VDD, the Gate signal line Gate, the first and third control signal lines Vg6, the second and third control signal lines Vg7, and the second Reset signal line Reset2, and a low level is input to the first Reset signal line Reset1 and the second control signal line Vclose. At this time, referring to fig. 11, the fourth transistor M4, the fifth transistor M5, the sixth transistor M6, and the seventh transistor M7 are all turned on, and the first transistor M1, the second transistor M2, the third transistor M3, the eighth transistor M8, the ninth transistor M9, and the 8+ n th transistor M8+ n are all turned off. Then, since the fifth transistor M5, the sixth transistor M6, and the seventh transistor M7 are all turned on before the next ultrasound signal acquisition is finished, the sixth transistor M6 and the seventh transistor M7 can be all reset, and the second capacitor Cp1 and the third capacitor Cp2 can be held at the potential of 0.
In the period from t2 to t3 in fig. 6, a high level is input to both the first control signal line Drst and the voltage signal line VDD, and a low level is input to both the first Reset signal line Reset1, the second Reset signal line Reset2, the second control signal line Vclose, the Gate signal line Gate, the first third control signal line Vg6, and the second third control signal line Vg 7. At this time, all transistors remain in the off state and do not operate.
The stages t2 to t3 may be omitted.

Since the first and second transistors M1 and M2 are both turned on, the third node W (i.e., the control electrode of the third transistor M3) may be reset by the first control signal of the first control signal line Drst.
At the stage t4 to t5 in fig. 6, a high level is input to the first control signal line Drst, the voltage signal line VDD, the first Reset signal line Reset1, the second control signal line Vclose, the Gate signal line Gate, and the first third control signal line Vg6, and a low level is input to the second third control signal line Vg7, the first Reset signal line Reset1, the second Reset signal line Reset2, and the second control signal line Vclose.

Since the third transistor M3 holds the control signal of the first control signal line Drst, it is turned on. Since both the fourth transistor M4 and the sixth transistor M6 are turned on, the echo-free electric signal V1 can be stored in the second capacitor Cp1, and the electric signal V1 at this time has a noise floor.
At the stage t5 to t6 in fig. 6, a high level is input to the first control signal line Drst, the voltage signal line VDD, the first Reset signal line Reset1, and the second control signal line Vclose, a low level is input to the second Reset signal line Reset2, the Gate signal line Gate, the first third control signal line Vg6, and the second third control signal line Vg7, and when the ultrasonic control circuit is in the second state, the ultrasonic sensor PVDF transmits ultrasonic waves.

Since the second transistor M2 and the third transistor M3 are both turned on and the first transistor M1 is turned off, the electric signal V2 of the echo can be collected to the third node W, and the echo peak value can be collected when the echo peak value arrives at time t 6.
It should be noted that the second transistor M2 may be turned off at time T7 after half cycle time has elapsed from T6, that is, T7-T6= T/2 (T is a cycle time) is maintained, so that the start time of T6 may be adjusted by a certain step to acquire the maximum signal amount, that is, the echo peak value. Of course, the second transistor M2 may not be turned off at time t7, and the echo peak may not be detected.
At the stage t7 to t8 in fig. 6, a high level is input to both the first control signal line Drst and the voltage signal line VDD, a low level is input to each of the Gate signal line Gate, the first third control signal line Vg6, the second third control signal line Vg7, the first Reset signal line Reset1, the second Reset signal line Reset2, and the second control signal line Vclose, and at this time, the ultrasonic sensor PVDF transmits ultrasonic waves. This is the interval between the acquisition of the echo signal and the readout of the echo signal, and all the transistors are kept in the off state, and are not operated, so that the acquired echo signal can be kept on the third node W (i.e., the control electrode of the third transistor M3).
The stages t7 to t8 may be omitted.
At the stage t8 to t9 in fig. 6, a high level is input to the first control signal line Drst, the voltage signal line VDD, the Gate signal line Gate, and the second and third control signal lines Vg7, and a low level is input to the first and third control signal lines Vg6, the first Reset signal line Reset1, the second Reset signal line Reset2, and the second control signal line Vclose. At this time, referring to fig. 16, the second transistor M2, the third transistor M3, the fourth transistor M4, and the seventh transistor M7 are all turned on, and the first transistor M1, the sixth transistor M6, the fifth transistor M5, the eighth transistor M8, the ninth transistor M9, and the 8+ n transistor M8+ n are all turned off. Since the second transistor M2, the third transistor M3, the fourth transistor M4, and the seventh transistor M7 are all turned on, the echo signal V2 of the third node W may be stored into the third capacitor Cp 2.
At the stage t 9-stage in fig. 6, the first end Vi _ P of the instrumentation amplifier obtains the electrical signal V1 on the second capacitor Cp1, and the second end Vi _ N obtains the electrical signal V2 on the second capacitor Cp2, and after differential processing is performed in the instrumentation amplifier, amplification of the signal and removal of background noise of the ultrasonic control circuit are realized, so that the ultrasonic control circuit has strong anti-Interference and anti-EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) capabilities.
The differential signal in the instrumentation amplifier may then be analog-to-digital converted by the ADC72 as shown in fig. 9.
The electrical signal V1 at the second capacitor Cp1 and the electrical signal V2 at the second capacitor Cp2 may be amplified and then subjected to differential processing, which is not particularly limited herein.
Fig. 11 to 16 are all explained by taking the example that the transistors M8 to M8+ n are off. The adjustment of echo signals with different intensities can be realized by adjusting the on and off of the transistors M8-M8 + n. In particular, the required total capacitance value, and thus the number of transistors that are turned on, may be selected according to the actual situation. The wide-range adjustment of the capacitance value of the third node W (i.e., the control electrode of the third transistor M3) can also be realized by turning on the combination of transistors with different positions and different numbers, so as to realize the wide-range adjustment of the echo signal, thereby obtaining the APS type ultrasonic control circuit with a high dynamic range.
It should be noted that, when selecting the capacitor, it is necessary to ensure that the transistors M8 to M8+ n remain in the on state or the off state during one acquisition process of t1 to t 9.

At this time, the second transistor M2 and the third transistor M3 are all turned on, and the fourth transistor M4, the sixth transistor M6, the first transistor M1, the fifth transistor M5, and the seventh transistor M7 are all turned off. Since the second transistor M2 is turned on and the ultrasonic sensor PVDF transmits ultrasonic waves, an electric signal V2 of an echo can be collected to the third node W, and an echo peak value can be collected when the echo peak value arrives at time t 7.
It should be noted that the second transistor M2 may be turned off at time T8 after half of the cycle time has elapsed from T7, that is, T8-T7= T/2 (T is a cycle time) is maintained, so that the start time of T7 may be adjusted by a certain step to acquire the maximum signal amount, that is, the echo peak value.

In the timing sequence of fig. 8, after the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2 clear the column select line and clear and reset the second capacitor Cp1 and the third capacitor Cp2, they are only turned on for a period of time, so that the potential of the control electrode of the third transistor M3 and the potential of the ultrasonic sensor PVDF when there is no echo can be reset to the voltage signal of the voltage signal line VDD, and at this time, the voltage difference signal of the echo collected from the peak value to the valley value can still ensure that the third transistor M3 works in the saturation region.
The acquisition of the echo signal can be realized by controlling the on and off time t7-t 8 of the second transistor M2, and the same process of finding the optimal acquisition time in fig. 6 is also required.
The embodiment of the application provides a driving method, and by the driving method, when the ultrasonic control circuit is in the first state, because the first reset sub-circuit is configured to reset the first node under the control of the first reset signal line, no matter whether the ultrasonic sensor transmits an echo signal, the echo signal does not affect the potential of the third node, the third node can keep the first reset signal of the first reset signal line, and at this time, the ultrasonic control circuit can obtain the first electric signal with background noise. When the ultrasonic control circuit is in the second state, because the first reset sub-circuit does not work, if the ultrasonic sensor transmits an echo signal, the echo signal can affect the electric potential of the third node, the electric potential of the third node changes, and at the moment, the ultrasonic control circuit can obtain a signal with background noise and a second electric signal of an effective signal. Therefore, the effective signal of the ultrasonic control circuit is obtained by subtracting the first electric signal from the second electric signal, and further can be better analyzed according to the effective signal.
