Description

Multichannel signal acquisition circuit
Technical Field
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of circuit technology, and in particular, to a multichannel signal acquisition circuit.
Background
The multichannel signal acquisition circuit typically includes one or more analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and a multiplexer. The ADC converts the input analog signal into a digital signal for subsequent processing. The multiplexer is used for selecting the sampled and converted channels. Depending on the strength of the input signal, the amplifier may also be a necessary component in the multi-channel signal acquisition circuit to pre-process the signal before it enters the ADC. The amplifier in the multi-channel signal acquisition circuit needs to have a low input offset voltage (input offset voltage) and sufficient output capability to drive the ADC. To ensure that the ADC has good noise performance and is not affected by signal Aliasing (Aliasing), the input signal typically requires a filter before entering the ADC. In some applications, such as Battery Management Systems (BMS) and industrial grade measurement systems, where the observed signal is at a direct current or very low frequency, the filter must use resistors and capacitors of large value. Due to the high cost of integrating large resistors and large capacitors on a single chip, these passive components are typically arranged outside the chip. Because these off-chip large resistors are between the input signal and the ADC, this type of multi-channel signal acquisition circuit needs to have very low input current to ensure that the overall sampling accuracy does not cause additional voltage drops due to the input current flowing through the filter resistor.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure more apparent, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It will be apparent that the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the presently disclosed subject matter belongs. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the specification and relevant art and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein. As used herein, a statement that two or more parts are "connected" or "coupled" together shall mean that the parts are joined together either directly or joined through one or more intermediate parts. In addition, terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one component (or portion of a component) from another component (or another portion of a component).
Fig. 1 shows an exemplary circuit diagram of a multi-channel signal acquisition circuit 100. The multi-channel signal acquisition circuit 100 can sample all channels simultaneously, but can only output one channel of data from the multiplexer MUX as the target codeword Dout at any one time. The number of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) required by the multi-channel signal acquisition circuit 100 is equal to the number of channels. As shown in fig. 1, in the first channel, a voltage difference between the voltage terminals V1 and V0 is input to the first analog-to-digital converter ADC1. In the second channel, the voltage difference between the voltage terminals V2 and V1 is input to the second analog-to-digital converter ADC2. In the third channel, the voltage difference between the voltage terminals V3 and V2 is input to the third analog-to-digital converter ADC3. With this, the voltage difference between the voltage terminals V (n) and V (n-1) is inputted to the n-th analog-to-digital converter ADCn in the n-th channel. A filter resistor Rf is coupled between each voltage terminal and the input terminal of the ADC. A filter capacitor Cf is coupled between two adjacent voltage terminals. Since each ADC requires separate calibration, the chip area of the multichannel signal acquisition circuit 100 is greatly increased and the time required for calibration is also increased, resulting in increased costs. Since these ADCs have no pre-amplification circuit, the resolution required by the ADC is determined by the input signal amplitude. If the input signal is weaker, the resolution required by the ADCs is higher, and the design difficulty of the ADCs is increased. Also, since a non-zero current is required to drive the ADC, the multi-channel signal acquisition circuit 100 may cause additional errors due to the input current of the ADC flowing through the filter resistor Rf.
Fig. 2 shows an exemplary circuit diagram of another multi-channel signal acquisition circuit 200. The multi-channel signal acquisition circuit 200 employs a pair of multiplexers MUX1 and MUX2 to select the acquisition signals and a fully differential amplifier A1 to drive the analog-to-digital converter ADC. A filter resistor Rf is coupled between each of the voltage terminals V0, V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, … … V (2 n-1) and V (2 n) and the input of the multiplexer. The gain of the fully differential amplifier A1 is- (r1+r2)/(r3+r4). Where R1 represents the resistance value of the resistor R1, R2 represents the resistance value of the resistor R2, R3 represents the resistance value of the resistor R3, and R4 represents the resistance value of the resistor R4. The multi-channel signal acquisition circuit 200 requires only one ADC, reducing cost. With the help of choppers Ch1 and Ch2, the fully differential amplifier A1 uses chopping technology (chopping) to reduce its offset voltage so that it does not affect the overall accuracy. The control signal Chop is used to control the operation of the choppers Ch1 and Ch 2. The control signal Odd of the chopper Ch3 varies with switching of the sampling channel, and thus the chopper Ch3 operates as a selector or a switching circuit. The control signal Odd of the chopper Ch3 determines the output polarity of the fully differential amplifier A1. In one example, when the control signal Odd is at a low level, the ADC samples an even channel (e.g., V (2 n) -V (2 n-1), V4-V3, V2-V1). When the control signal Odd is at a high level, the ADC samples Odd channels (e.g., V5-V4, V3-V2, V1-V0). By changing the output polarity of the fully differential amplifier A1 by the chopper Ch3, each of the multiplexers MUX1 and MUX2 does not need to be coupled to all of the voltage terminals, and the number of input terminals required for each of the multiplexers MUX1 and MUX2 can be reduced by 50%, contributing to a reduction in the area occupied by the multiplexers MUX1 and MUX 2. However, due to the resistive feedback network employed by the fully differential amplifier A1, the input impedance of the multi-channel signal acquisition circuit 200 is limited, and still causes an additional voltage drop for the input current Iin to flow through the filter resistor Rf. And since the input current Iin varies with the input common mode voltage, the multi-channel signal acquisition circuit 200 cannot compensate for this additional error with a single calibration.

The operation of the multi-channel signal acquisition circuit 400 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is described below in conjunction with the example of fig. 5.
Fig. 5 illustrates 16 channels. All sampled channels are divided into two parts, the lower part containing V0 to V8 and the upper part containing V8 to V16. In addition, the first multiplexer MUX1 and the second multiplexer MUX2 contain a set of reference voltage Vref (0V) inputs for calibration of offset voltages of the first amplifying circuit 430.

The polarity of the first switching indication signal Odd1 and the second switching indication signal Odd2 determines whether the corresponding signal paths sample Odd channels or even channels (where the Odd channels are defined as V (2i+1) -V (2 i), e.g. V7-V6, and the even channels are defined as V (2 i) -V (2 i-1), e.g. V6-V5, i being a positive integer).
During a first sampling period (from time T1 to time T3), the first selection signal SEL1 is at an active level (high level), and the multi-channel signal acquisition circuit 400 samples a first voltage difference between two of the voltage terminals coupled to the first input circuit 410. The first multiplexer MUX1 sequentially outputs V0, V2, V4, V6 and V8, and the second multiplexer MUX2 sequentially outputs V1, V3, V5 and V7. The length of time between time T1 and time T2 is equal to one clock cycle. The output times of V0 and V8 are one clock cycle. The output time of V1 to V7 is two clock cycles.

The second switch instruction signal Odd2 is at a high level (logic "1") at time T1, so that the second amplified signal is equal to Vout 2=gm2× (r3+r4) ×vos3—vos4=vos3—vos4 at this time. The second switching indication signal Odd2 is at a low level (logic "0") at time T2, so that the negative second amplified signal at this time is equal to Vout2 = -Gm2× (r3+r4) ×vos3+vos4= -vos3+vos4. The first sampling circuit ADC1 may read the difference of the two conversions: vos3+vos4- (Vos 3-Vos 4) =2× (-vos3+vos4), i.e. twice the offset voltage. Here, the offset voltage Vos5 of the first sampling circuit ADC1 itself does not affect the conversion. Since Vos5 remains unchanged during the transition, the effect of Vos5 has been eliminated during the subtraction of the two transitions. At this time, offset voltages Vos3-Vos4 (when odd2=1) and-vos3+vos4 (when odd2=0) of the second amplifying circuit 440 have been calculated and may be stored in the storage circuit 360. The memory circuit 360 is controlled by the control signal Odd, and when odd=0, the memory circuit 360 transmits an offset voltage (-vos3+vos4) to the second sampling circuit ADC 2. When odd=1, the storage circuit 360 sends offset voltages (Vos 3 to Vos 4) to the second sampling circuit ADC 2.
During the second sampling period (from time T3 to time T5), the second selection signal SEL2 is at an active level (high level), and the multi-channel signal acquisition circuit 400 samples a second voltage difference between two of the voltage terminals coupled to the second input circuit 420. The third multiplexer MUX1 sequentially outputs V8, V10, V12, V14 and V16, and the fourth multiplexer MUX4 sequentially outputs V9, V11, V13 and V15. The length of time between time T3 and time T4 is equal to one clock cycle. The output times of V8 and V16 are one clock cycle. The output time of V9 to V15 is two clock cycles. The first multiplexer MUX1 and the second multiplexer MUX2 output 0V at time T3 such that the differential voltages input to the first transconductance cell Gm1 and the first fully differential amplifier A1 are both 0V. The first switching instruction signal Odd1 is at a high level (logic "1") at a time T3 such that the third amplified signal is equal to Vout 1=gm1× (r1+r2) ×vos1-vos2=vos1-Vos 2 at this time. The first switching instruction signal Odd1 is at a low level (logic "0") at a time T4 such that the negative third amplified signal at this time is equal to Vout1 = -Gm1× (r1+r2) ×vos1+vos2= -vos1+vos2. The first sampling circuit ADC1 may read the difference of the two conversions: vos1+vos2- (Vos 1-Vos 2) =2× (-vos1+vos2), i.e. twice the offset voltage. Here, the offset voltage Vos5 of the first sampling circuit ADC1 itself does not affect the conversion. Since Vos5 remains unchanged during the transition, the effect of Vos5 has been eliminated during the subtraction of the two transitions. At this time, offset voltages Vos1-Vos2 (when odd1=1) and-vos1+vos2 (when odd1=0) of the first amplifying circuit 430 have been calculated and may be stored in the storage circuit 360. The memory circuit 360 is controlled by the control signal Odd, and when odd=0, the memory circuit 360 transmits an offset voltage (-vos1+vos2) to the second sampling circuit ADC 2. When odd=1, the storage circuit 360 transmits offset voltages (Vos 1 to Vos 2) to the second sampling circuit ADC 2.
During the first sampling, the first channel (V1-V0) is sampled at time T1, the second channel (V2-V1) is sampled at time T2, and so on. When odd1=0, vout 1= - [ V (2 i) -V (2 i-1) -vos1+vos2]. The second sampling circuit ADC2 converts Vout1 into Dcode1. At this time, odd is also equal to 0, and the storage circuit 360 sends an offset voltage (-vos1+vos2) to the second sampling circuit ADC 2. Dout= (Dcode 1+dvos1) × (1+ge1) +dvos6 according to formula (1). Wherein DVos1 represents the first digital signal into which (-vos1+vos2) is converted. In this way, dout can remove the influence of the offset voltage (-vos1+vos2) of the first amplifying circuit 430. When odd1=1, vout 1= - [ V (2 i-1) -V (2 i-2) - (-vos1+vos2) ]. The second sampling circuit ADC2 converts Vout1 into Dcode1. At this time, odd is also equal to 1, and the storage circuit 360 sends offset voltages (Vos 1 to Vos 2) to the second sampling circuit ADC 2. Dout= (Dcode 1+dvos1) × (1+ge1) +dvos6 according to formula (1). Where DVos1 represents the first digital signal into which Vos1-Vos2 are converted. In this way, dout removes the influence of the offset voltages Vos1-Vos2 of the first amplifying circuit 430. Here, i is a positive integer.
Similarly, during the second sampling, the 9 th channel (V9-V8) is sampled at time T3, the 10 th channel (V10-V9) is sampled at time T4, and so on. When odd2=0, vout 2= - [ V (2 i) -V (2 i-1) -vos3+vos4]. The second sampling circuit ADC2 converts Vout2 into Dcode2. At this time, odd is also equal to 0, and the storage circuit 360 sends an offset voltage (-Vos 3+ Vos 4) to the second sampling circuit ADC 2. Dout= (Dcode 2+dvos2) × (1+ge2) +dvos6 according to formula (2). Wherein DVos2 represents the second digital signal into which (-vos3+vos4) is converted. In this way, dout can remove the influence of the offset voltage (-vos3+vos4) of the second amplifying circuit 440. When odd1=1, vout 2= - [ V (2 i-1) -V (2 i-2) - (-vos3+vos4) ]. The second sampling circuit ADC2 converts Vout2 into Dcode2. At this time, odd is also equal to 1, and the storage circuit 360 sends offset voltages (Vos 3 to Vos 4) to the second sampling circuit ADC 2. Dout= (Dcode 2+dvos2) × (1+ge2) +dvos6 according to formula (2). Wherein DVos2 represents the second digital signal into which Vos3-Vos4 is converted. In this way, dout removes the influence of the offset voltages Vos3-Vos4 of the second amplifying circuit 440. Here, i is a positive integer.
