Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a power supply circuit and more specifically a circuit providing an emergency power supply.
  • European patent application EP-A-0 018 517 describes a diagnostic and alarm device for an on-line data communication network.
  • a predetermined tone alarm signal is generated and transmitted to a central station on a line normally used for data transmission.
  • the energy necessary for the production of the alarm tone and its transmission is supplied by an emergency power source consisting of a battery of capacitors which have been previously charged.
  • This system has a number of constraints. Indeed, the capacitors being generally all the more voluminous as they are of high value, it is preferable to limit the values of capacitors necessary to the strict minimum. However, this results in a limitation of the stored energy, which reduces the duration of the alarm tone that can be generated.
  • the receiver to which the alarm is transmitted can detect the presence of a signal which is not data and identify it in a relatively short time. Discrimination between alarm signal and data is made possible by the choice of a frequency of the alarm signal outside the pure data spectrum.
  • a sinusoidal alarm signal of 350 Hz of frequency has been chosen.
  • the energy storage condensers are progressively discharged and from a moment the signal that the device could generate would present distortions resulting in the presence of harmonics of pure frequency at 350 Hz
  • Some of these harmonics (1050, 1400, 1750, etc.) would be in the frequency band of the data.
  • the subject of the present invention is an alarm signal generator intended to generate a temporary signal of predetermined frequency, as defined in claim 1.
  • FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the device of the prior art.
  • This device comprises two capacitors C1 and C2 intended to store the energy reserve.
  • the capacitor C1 is connected on the one hand to ground and on the other hand to a positive power source V + through a switch 11 and a diode D1.
  • the capacitor C2 is connected to earth on the one hand and to a negative power source V- through a diode D2 and a switch 12 on the other hand.
  • the capacitors C1 and C2 are also connected to a generator of alarm signals 10 (which they are responsible for supplying when the sources V + and V-are out of order) through switches (switching means) 13 and 14 respectively.
  • the circuit also comprises so-called charge control 12 and discharge control circuits 14.
  • the circuit 12 keeps the switches 11 and 12 closed, while circuit 14 keeps switches 13 and 14 open.
  • the system is in the so-called charging phase during which the capacitors C1 and C2 are charged while the alarm signal generator is at rest.
  • a so-called alarm cycle starts.
  • the circuit 12 controls the opening of the switches 11 and 12 while the switches 13 and 14 are closed under the effect of a command from the circuit 14.
  • the device 10 supplied by the energy stored in the capacitors C1 and C2, generates a signal at 350 Hz, called an alarm. During this operation, the condensa tors C1 and C2 are discharged, the voltages they deliver decrease.
  • the alarm generator 10 From certain levels of the voltages supplied by the capacitors C1 and C2, the alarm generator 10 delivers a distorted signal and therefore comprising harmonics of the frequency at 350 Hz. As indicated above, this is to be avoided . It is therefore necessary to stop the alarm generator 10 before the moment when the generated signal would be distorted. In practice, it sometimes happens that certain circuits of the alarm generator 10 need a negative voltage greater than the positive voltage. For example, for an alarm signal of ⁇ 2V peak-to-peak, the power circuits of the alarm generator 10 would require at least + 2.7V and -4.1V.
  • the charges of C1 and C2 can be done at + 8.65V and -6.95V respectively (what the zone shows left of t o on the diagram in the upper part of figure 2). From t o , it was assumed that one entered the operating zone of the alarm generator.
  • the curves VC1 and VC2 show diagrammatically symmetrical discharges of the capacitors C1 and C2 respectively. It will be noted that these constant current discharges have been assumed to simplify the presentation, but that this is by no means a constraint. For
  • the circuit of the invention makes it possible to minimize the effect of these asymmetries by using means making it possible to center the discharge zone at will. This refocusing will notably allow, in the case of FIG. 2, to extend the duration of the undistorted alarm signal up to t ' 2 . We will even see later that the result may even be even better than it appears in Figure 2.
  • FIG 3 shows a block diagram of the device of the invention.
  • Figures 1 and 2 bear similar references to designate similar elements.
  • the capacitors C1 and C2 have been replaced by a single floating capacitor C, that is to say, not connected to ground.
  • the capacitor C charges to a value where V d represent the voltage drops due to diodes D1 and D2.
  • a reference circuit 16 connected downstream of the switching means 13, 14 and on the other hand a voltage follower circuit 18.
  • the reference circuit builds a first reference voltage V ref based in particular on the voltages across capacitor C.
  • This reference voltage V ref is applied to one of the inputs of the voltage follower circuit 18.
  • the circuit 18 shown here schematically in the form of an operational amplifier operates so as to force V ref to the level a second reference voltage V ′ ref which is a fixed voltage applied to its output and to its other input. For example, if this voltage V ' ref is the ground, the circuit acts so as to cause V ref towards the voltage of the ground. This results in a recentering of the voltage across the capacitor C. This recentering can be controlled as desired.
  • the circuit of FIG. 3 can indeed supply two voltages V c + and V c - such that
  • the invention makes it possible, starting from a floating energy source, to center the voltage available at the terminals of said source at will with respect to a given reference potential.
  • the invention therefore makes it possible in particular to position the voltage of the source with respect to the ground potential.
  • circuit of the invention requires very little additional power compared to the circuit of the prior art.
  • the only effective additional consumption is that of the reference circuit 16. This consumption is minimized in practice by choosing a reference circuit of relatively high impedance, of the order of 50 KQ for example.
  • FIG. 4 shows the schematic diagram of an embodiment of the invention in which the voltage follower circuit is extremely simple.
  • the reference circuit 16 is here, quite simply, a divider bridge with two resistors R1 and R2 in series.
  • the function of the voltage follower circuit 18 it is here obtained by two transistors T1 and T2 in series.
  • the collector of T2 is connected to the electrode of the negatively charged capacitor C.
  • the point common to resistors R1, R2 is connected to the bases of transistors T1 and T2. This common point is that providing the voltage designated by V ref ⁇
  • the transistors T3 and T4 fulfill the functions of the switches 13 and 14 respectively.
  • the switches 11 and 12 (not shown) are open, while T4 is made conductive. This results in the conduction to saturation of the transistors T3 and T4.
  • the potential of capacitor C is found applied at A and B to the use circuit (not shown).
  • FIG. 5 shows a detailed embodiment of the invention using in particular circuit elements similar to those of the circuit of FIG. 4.
  • the assembly T1, T2 voltage follower has been replaced by two circuits of the Darlington type namely (T11, T12, R11) and (T13, T14, R12).
  • the reference circuit 16 comprises, in addition to the resistors R1 and R2, a set of diodes (D11, D12, D13, D14, D15 and D16) in series.
  • the base of transistor T14 is connected to the cathode of diode D13.
  • the base of transistor T12 is connected to the anode of diode D11 through a resistor R13 and to the cathode of this same diode through a resistor R14.
  • the function of the switch 13 is carried out by a circuit of the Darlington type comprising PNP transistors T16, T17 and T18 and a resistor R18.
  • the circuit elements T4, T5 and R ' occupy the same positions as their counterparts in the device shown in FIG. 4.
  • an additional divider bridge comprising diodes D17 to D20 in series with a Zener diode Z1, a resistor R17 and diodes D21 to D23, has been placed upstream of the switches 13 and 14.
  • a diode D24 is placed between the collector of transistor T18 and the cathode of diode D20.
  • the point common to the resistor R17 and to the anode of the diode D21 is connected to the base of the transistor T5 through a resistor R19.
  • This same base of transistor T5 is connected to the emitter of transistor T4 through a resistor R20.
  • an NPN transistor T15 is connected between the point common to R17 and to the diode D21 and the emitter of the transistor T4.
  • the back-up power supply control signal is applied to the base of transistor T15.
  • DRV + and DRV- the terminals providing the backup voltages designated by V c + and V r - in FIG. 4.
  • OSC + and OSC- taken upstream of switches 13 and 14.
  • the process of transmitting the alarm signal begins when the base of T15 is no longer supplied by an external command originating from a circuit (not shown) for detecting normal power failure. In this case, T15 is blocked and the current no longer being derived by T15 supplies the base of T5. There is then saturation of T14 and of the Darlington assembly T16, T17, T18. The DRV + and DRV- outputs are energized, which has several consequences. First, the line driver is supplied with power, ready to issue the alarm signal. In addition, the centering circuit is made active. Finally, the diode D24 becomes conductive and blocks the diodes D17 to D20. The control circuit T5 is therefore supplied by DRV + via D24, Z1, R17, R19 and R20.
