4. magnetic sensor circuit
Next, the flow measurement to this embodiment is elaborated with employed magnetic sensor circuit 30 in the electronic unit.
Like Fig. 9, shown in Figure 7, in the electronic unit of this embodiment, magnet 92 is installed on the turning axle 94 of impeller 90.And, follow flowing of liquid and when being rotated when impeller 90, the magnet 92 that is installed on the turning axle 94 of impeller 90 also is rotated.Magnetic sensor circuit 30 pairs of this moments, the variation from the magnetic (magnetic field) of magnet 92 detected, thereby the rotation of impeller 90 is detected.
In Figure 10, illustrate the structure example of magnetic sensor circuit 30.The magnetic sensor circuit 30 of Figure 10 is the example of MR sensor, and has magnetic resistive element R1~R4 and R5~R8.These magnetic resistive elements R1~R4, R5~R8 are the resistive element that resistance value changes according to magnetic.Magnetic resistive element R1~R4 is connected to quadrilateral, thereby has constituted first Wheatstone bridge circuit.Likewise, magnetic resistive element R5~R8 also is connected to quadrilateral, thereby has constituted second Wheatstone bridge circuit.
For example, the signal SA of Figure 10, SAN are exported from magnetic sensor circuit 30, and are input to treatment circuit 32.And, of preamble, on the AFE40 of treatment circuit 32, be provided with the comparator circuit of the comparison process of implementing signal SA and SAN, signal SA is input to the non-counter-rotating input terminal of comparator circuit, and signal SAN is input to the counter-rotating input terminal.
And, be set among Figure 10 and produced magnetic field (magnetic flux) H3 with the mode of crossing magnetic resistive element R2, R4.In this case, though the resistance value of R2, R4 is changed to r+ Δ r from r, the resistance value of R1, R3 is still r, does not change.Therefore, the voltage of signal SA that is input to the non-counter-rotating input terminal of above-mentioned comparator circuit rises, and the voltage that is input to the signal SAN of counter-rotating input terminal descends.Its result does, is arranged at the output of the comparator circuit on the AFE40, for example is changed to H level (high level) from L level (low level).
On the other hand, be set among Figure 10 and produced magnetic field (magnetic flux) H1 with the mode of crossing magnetic resistive element R1, R3.In this case, though the resistance value of R1, R3 is changed to r+ Δ r from r, the resistance value of R2, R4 is still r, does not change.Therefore; Because being input to the voltage of signal SA of the non-counter-rotating input terminal of comparator circuit descends; And the voltage that is input to the signal SAN of counter-rotating input terminal rises, so the output of comparator circuit for example is changed to L level (low level) from H level (high level).
In this way, thereby be rotated when being rotated magnet 92 through impeller 90, and magnetic field is when changing with mode shown in Figure 10, the voltage of signal SA, SAN will change thereupon.Therefore, through implementing the comparison process of this signal SA, SAN, thereby can the rotation of impeller 90 be detected.At this moment, even also implement identical detection, therefore can't distinguish positive rotation and contrary rotation because first Wheatstone bridge circuit that is made up of for example magnetic resistive element R1~R4 has rotated in the direction in magnetic field under the situation of 180 degree.About this point; In Figure 10; Except first Wheatstone bridge circuit that constitutes by magnetic resistive element R1~R4; Also be provided with second Wheatstone bridge circuit that constitutes by magnetic resistive element R5~R8, and the configuration direction of R5~R8 45 degree have only been departed from respect to the configuration direction of R1~R4.Thus; Signal SA, the SAN of first Wheatstone bridge circuit that constitutes through free R1~R4 in the future; Combine with signal SB, the SBN of second Wheatstone bridge circuit that comes free R5~R8 to constitute, thereby can also realize difference positive rotation and contrary rotation.In addition, in Figure 11, illustrate the signal waveform example of signal SA, SAN, SB, SBN.In Figure 11, ROTH is the angle of rotating magnetic field, and VPP is the P-to-P voltage of each signal.
5. the signal wiring between magnetic sensor circuit, the treatment circuit
Next, the distribution example to the signal wire between magnetic sensor circuit 30 and the treatment circuit 32 describes.
As shown in Figure 3, in this embodiment, magnetic sensor circuit 30 and treatment circuit 32 are installed on first SF1 of circuit substrate 10.And on first SF1 of circuit substrate 10, distribution has the signal wire (printed wiring) that these magnetic sensor circuits 30 and treatment circuit 32 are linked together.At this moment, simplify to the distribution of circuit substrate 10, be preferably, the distribution of the signal wire between magnetic sensor circuit 30, the treatment circuit 32 is also simplified for the configuration and the signal wire that make electronic parts to circuit board 10.Through adopting this mode, thereby realized that flow measurement is with the simplification of the structure of electronic unit and miniaturization etc.
Particularly, as shown in Figure 8, treatment circuit 32 has, and is connected with the signal terminal 50 signal wire, that a plurality of sensors are used that a plurality of sensors are used, and the signal wire that said a plurality of sensors are used links together magnetic sensor circuit 30 and treatment circuit 32.At this, the signal wire that sensor uses does, for example the signal wire of Figure 10, signal SA illustrated in fig. 11, SAN, SB, SBN etc.
In addition, shown in figure 12, the treatment circuit 32 of rectangle (IC of treatment circuit) has first to fourth limit S1~S4.At this, the 3rd limit S3 is and the opposed limit of the first limit S1 that the 4th limit S4 is and the opposed limit of the second limit S2.In addition, the second, the 4th limit S2, S4 and first, the 3rd limit S1, S3 quadrature (intersection).
At this moment, shown in figure 12, the signal terminal 50 that a plurality of sensors of treatment circuit 32 are used is set at, among the limit S1~S4 of treatment circuit with the magnetic sensor circuit 30 opposed first limit S1 on.That is, the signal terminal 50 used of a plurality of sensors is with along the mode of the first limit S1 and be arranged configuration.And, with the signal wire 54 that magnetic sensor circuit 30 and treatment circuit 32 sensors that link together, a plurality of are used, go up on the SF1 for first that is not configured in circuit substrate 10 mutually across.
Through adopting this kind mode, can utilize short path to connect the signal wire 54 (SA, SAN, SB, SBN etc.) that magnetic sensor circuit 30 and treatment circuit 32 sensors that link together, a plurality of are used.Therefore, can reduce the stray capacitance that parasitizes on these signal wires 54, dead resistance etc., and the deterioration of the characteristics of signals that can suppress to cause because of stray capacitance, dead resistance etc.In addition and since the signal wire 54 that sensor uses by distribution for not intersecting mutually, so also can the capacitive coupling of locating between these signal wires 54 etc. be controlled in Min., thereby can suppress the deterioration of characteristics of signals.In addition, the signal connection between magnetic sensor circuit 30 and the treatment circuit 32 becomes simple, thereby can realize the simple signal wiring of circuit substrate 10.
In addition, as shown in Figure 8, treatment circuit 32 has, and is connected with the signal terminal 52 signal wire, that a plurality of display parts are used that a plurality of display parts are used, and the signal wire that said a plurality of display parts are used links together treatment circuit 32 and display part 60.With display part 60 is that the situation of the LCD of segmentation is an example, and then the signal wire that uses of display part is the signal wire of section drive signal and common drive signal.
And the signal terminal that these display parts are used (section terminal, public terminal) is set at, at least one limit among the second limit S2 of treatment circuit 32, the 3rd limit S3 and the 4th limit S4.If with Figure 12 is example, then the signal terminal 52-1 that uses of display part is set on the second limit S2, and the signal terminal 52-2 that display part is used is set on the 3rd limit S3.That is, the signal terminal 52-1 that a plurality of display parts are used is with along the mode of the second limit S2 and be arranged configuration, and the signal terminal 52-2 that a plurality of display parts are used is with along the mode of the 3rd limit S3 and be arranged configuration.In addition, also can the signal terminal 52-3 that the display part of a part is used be arranged on the first limit S1.
Through this kind mode, can apply in a flexible way effectively limit S2, S3, S4 beyond the limit S1 that disposes the signal terminal 50 that sensor uses dispose the signal terminal 52 that display part is used, thereby can realize the simplification etc. of the signal wiring of circuit substrate 10.Especially, because the signal terminal used of display part 52 for example needs the corresponding amount of number with the segment electrode and the public electrode of display part 60, so its number of terminals increases.About this point, in Figure 12, dispose limit S2 beyond the limit S1 of the signal terminal 50 that sensor uses, S3 etc. through applying in a flexible way effectively, and disposed the signal terminal 52 that a plurality of display parts are used.Therefore, the signal terminal of using for the more display part of number of terminals 52 also can easily be configured, thereby can realize the simplification of terminal arrangement and signal wiring.Under the situation on first SF1 that for example treatment circuit 32 has been installed in circuit substrate 10 with mode shown in Figure 3; Can with the signal wire of using from the display part of handling circuit 32 (section drive signal line, common drive signal line) simply distribution in, be arranged in the hole portion 14,16 of the both sides on the circuit substrate 10.Therefore, from treatment circuit 32 via connector portion 70,72, also can be simplified to the connection of the signal wiring of display part 60, thereby can realize simplification and the miniaturization etc. of the structure of electronic unit.
