Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Schaltungsanordnung zur Auswertung des mit einer Brückenschaltung gewonnenen Meßsignals eines Sensors, insbesondere eine aktiven Raddrehzahlsensors.The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for the evaluation of that obtained with a bridge circuit Measurement signal from a sensor, especially an active one Wheel speed sensor.
Bekanntlich sind die Meßsignale derartiger Schaltungsanordnungen temperaturabhängig. Dies ist ein Nachteil, weil durch den Temperaturgang die Meßgenauigkeit verringert wird. Durch Auswahl bestimmter Widerstands-Werkstoffe mit relativ geringer Temperaturabhängigkeit, durch Kompensation des Temperaturgangs mit Hilfe von Widerständen mit positivem und negativem Widerstandskoeffizienten ist man bemüht, die Temperaturabhängigkeit zu eliminieren oder zumindest in tolerierbaren Grenzen zu halten. Dies wird jedoch insbesondere dann schwierig, wenn es sich um Schaltungsanordnungen für solche Sensoren handelt, die naturgemäß innerhalb eines breiten Temperaturbereichs zum Einsatz kommen; dies gilt beispielsweise für die Drehzahlsensoren eines Kraftfahrzeugs.As is known, the measurement signals are of this type Circuit arrangements depending on temperature. This is a Disadvantage, because of the temperature response, the measuring accuracy is reduced. By choosing certain Resistance materials with relatively low Temperature dependence, by compensating for the Temperature response with the help of resistors with positive and negative resistance coefficient one tries to get the Eliminate temperature dependency or at least in to keep tolerable limits. However, this will especially difficult when it comes to Circuit arrangements for such sensors naturally within a wide temperature range Come into play; this applies, for example, to the Speed sensors of a motor vehicle.
Der Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, den nachteiligen Temperaturgang einer derartigen Schaltungsanordnung zur Auswertung von Sensorsignalen mit Hilfe einer relativ einfachen Maßnahme, die ohne oder mit höchstens geringem Zusatzaufwand verwirklicht werden kann, zu überwinden. The invention is based on the object adverse temperature response of such Circuit arrangement for evaluating sensor signals with Help of a relatively simple measure, with or without at most little additional effort can be realized, to overcome.
Es hat sich herausgestellt, daß diese Aufgabe bei einer solchen Schaltungsanordnung dadurch gelöst werden kann, daß die Brückenschaltung aus einer Konstantstromquelle versorgt wird, daß die Schaltungsanordnung einen Dividierer enthält, der einen Quotienten aus dem Meßsignal und der über der Brückenschaltung abfallenden Spannung bildet und dessen Ausgangssignal als Meßgröße ausgewertet wird.It has been found that this task with a such circuit arrangement can be solved that the bridge circuit from a constant current source is supplied that the circuit arrangement one Divider contains a quotient from the measurement signal and the voltage drop across the bridge circuit forms and its output signal is evaluated as a measured variable becomes.
Erfindungsgemäß wird also durch eine sehr einfache Maßnahme, die, wenn ohnehin eine Konstantstromquelle vorhanden ist, nur einen zusätzlichen Dividierer erfordert, die Temperaturabhängigkeit des Meßsignals eliminiert.According to the invention is therefore very simple Measure that if a constant current source anyway there is only one additional divider requires the temperature dependence of the measurement signal eliminated.
Besonders geeignet als Meßbrücke ist eine Wheatstone′sche Brückenschaltung. Alle Widerstände der Brückenschaltung bestehen zweckmäßigerweise aus dem gleichen Material, oder sie werden aus Materialien mit (annähernd) gleicher Temperaturabhängigkeit gefertigt.A Wheatstone is particularly suitable as a measuring bridge Bridge circuit. All resistances of the bridge circuit suitably consist of the same material, or they are made of materials with (approximately) the same Made temperature dependency.
Eine Schaltungsanordnung der erfindungsgemäßen Art ist ganz besonders für einen aktiven Raddrehzahlsensor geeignet, der eine Brückenschaltung aus magneto-resistiven Widerständen besitzt, die in einem in Abhängigkeit von der Meßgröße variablen Magnetfeld angeordnet sind.A circuit arrangement of the type according to the invention especially for an active wheel speed sensor suitable of a bridge circuit made of magneto-resistive Has resistances in a depending on the Measured variable variable magnetic field are arranged.
Weitere Merkmale, Vorteile und Anwendungsmöglichkeiten der Erfindung gehen aus der folgenden Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels anhand der beigefügten Abbildung hervor. Diese Abbildung zeigt in schematisch vereinfachter Darstellung die wichtigsten Komponenten einer Schaltungsanordnung nach der Erfindung. Other features, advantages and possible uses of the Invention emerge from the following description Embodiment with reference to the accompanying figure forth. This figure shows in schematically simplified Representation of the most important components of a Circuit arrangement according to the invention.
Die dargestellte Schaltungsanordnung enthält eine Wheatstone′sche Brückenschaltung 1, deren Widerstände R₁ bis R₄ - alle oder einige - in einem Magnetfeld angeordnet sind, das in Abhängigkeit von der eigentlichen Meßgröße variabel ist. Die Widerstände R₁ bis R₄ - alle oder einige - bestehen im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel aus magneto-resistivem Material, dessen Widerstand von der Höhe des Magnetfeldes abhängig ist.The circuit arrangement shown contains a Wheatstone bridge circuit 1 , the resistors R₁ to R₄ - all or some - are arranged in a magnetic field which is variable depending on the actual measured variable. The resistors R₁ to R₄ - all or some - consist in the present embodiment of magneto-resistive material, the resistance of which depends on the magnitude of the magnetic field.
Die Brückenschaltung 1 wird aus einer symbolisch angedeuteten Konstantstromquelle 2 gespeist, die den Strom Ik liefert.The bridge circuit 1 is fed from a symbolically indicated constant current source 2 , which supplies the current I k .
Die Brückenspannung ΔU, die in bekannter Weise als Meßsignal dient, wird in einem Differenzverstärker 3 aufbereitet. In einem anschließenden Dividierer 4 wird ein Quotient aus dem aufbereiteten Meßsignal ΔUM, nämlich dem Ausgangssignal des Differenzverstärkers 3, und der über der Brückenschaltung abfallenden Spannung KBr gebildet. Das Ausgangssignal UA des Dividierers 4 ist dann die (weitgehend) temperaturunabhängige Meßgröße des hier beschriebenen aktiven Raddrehzahlsensors.The bridge voltage ΔU, which serves as a measurement signal in a known manner, is processed in a differential amplifier 3 . In a subsequent divider 4 , a quotient is formed from the processed measurement signal ΔU M , namely the output signal of the differential amplifier 3 , and the voltage K Br dropping across the bridge circuit. The output signal U A of the divider 4 is then the (largely) temperature-independent measured variable of the active wheel speed sensor described here.
Die Erfindung beruht auf der Überlegung, daß bei einer Schaltungsanordnung der beschriebenen Art für das aufbereitete Meßsignal UM die BeziehungThe invention is based on the consideration that in a circuit arrangement of the type described for the processed measurement signal U M the relationship
ΔUM = ΔUMo f(Temp.) (1)ΔU M = ΔU Mo f (temp.) (1)
und für die über der Brückenschaltung 1 abfallenden Spannung UBr die Beziehungand the relationship for the voltage U Br dropping across the bridge circuit 1
UBr = Ik-Rg = Ik·Ro·f(Temp.) (2) Br U = I k = I k -R g R · O · f (Temp.) (2)
mitWith
gelten.be valid.
Der Quotient aus den Größen ΔUM und UBr, nämlich die Meßgröße UA ist folglich temperaturunabhängig.The quotient of the quantities ΔU M and U Br , namely the measured variable U A, is consequently independent of the temperature.
