Description

Dispositif de couplage de plusieurs voies électriques d'entrée de signaux à une même voie électrique de sortie avec isolement des masses
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de couplage de plusieurs voies électriques d'entrée de signaux à une même voie électrique de sortie avec isolement des masses.
Device for coupling several electrical signal input channels to the same electrical output channel with earth isolation
The present invention relates to a device for coupling several electrical signal input channels to the same electrical output channel with ground isolation.

Le besoin existe depuis longtemps, en matière de transmission et de traitement de signaux électriques porteurs d'information, de coupler plusieurs voies d'entrée à une même voie de sortie. Ce besoin est classiquement satisfait par des circuits que l'on peut appeler de manière générale "dispositifs mélangeurs" car ils réalisent une fonction de mélange. Dans le cas particulier où les signaux considérés sont porteurs de valeurs logiques binaires,-une des fonctions de mélange peut être la fonction OU. The need has existed for a long time, in terms of transmission and processing of electrical signals carrying information, to couple several input channels to the same output channel. This need is conventionally satisfied by circuits which can be generally called "mixing devices" because they perform a mixing function. In the particular case where the signals considered carry binary logic values, one of the mixing functions can be the OR function.

Il est par ailleurs souvent souhaitable de réaliser une fonction d'isolation sélective entre un circuit d'entrée et un circuit de sortie entre lesquels certains signaux électriques utiles doivent être transmis, cette isolation ayant pour fonction d'empêcher la transmission de signaux nuisibles qui peuvent apparaître dans les mêmes bandes de fréquence que les signaux utiles. Ces signaux utiles sont par exemple ceux qui sont appliqués entre un conducteur spécifique et un conducteur de masse avec une certaine polarité et avec une grandeur comprise entre deux seuils, inférieur et supérieur. Ces deux seuils peuvent être ajustés indépendamment entre l'entrée et la sortie.Les signaux nuisibles peuvent alors être, par exemple, des signaux en mode commun transitant à la fois sur le conducteur spécifique et le conducteur de masse, des signaux appliqués entre ces mêmes conducteurs mais avec la polarité incorrecte, des signaux parasites ou de bruit de faibles grandeurs, et des surtensions accidentelles contre lesquelles la voie de sortie doit être protégée. It is also often desirable to carry out a selective isolation function between an input circuit and an output circuit between which certain useful electrical signals must be transmitted, this isolation having the function of preventing the transmission of harmful signals which may appear in the same frequency bands as the useful signals. These useful signals are for example those which are applied between a specific conductor and a ground conductor with a certain polarity and with a quantity comprised between two thresholds, lower and upper. These two thresholds can be adjusted independently between the input and the output. The harmful signals can then be, for example, signals in common mode passing on both the specific conductor and the ground conductor, signals applied between these same conductors but with incorrect polarity, parasitic or noise signals of small magnitudes, and accidental overvoltages against which the output channel must be protected.

Divers dispositifs sont connus pour transmettre les signaux utiles et arrêter certains au moins de tels signaux nuisibles. On connatt par exemple des transformateurs qui empêchent la transmission des signaux en mode commun et protègent la voie de sortie contre les surpuissances. On connatt aussi des photocoupleurs dans lesquels le signal électrique d'entrée alimente une diode photoémettrice dont la lumière éclaire la base d'un phototransistor qui fournit le signal de sortie. La fonction d'isolation sélective réalisée par de tels dispositifs comporte le plus souvent la fonction d'isolation des conducteurs de masse, ou, plus bièvement, d'isolation des masses. Various devices are known for transmitting useful signals and stopping at least some of such harmful signals. Transformers are known, for example, which prevent the transmission of signals in common mode and protect the output channel against overpower. Photocouplers are also known in which the electrical input signal feeds a light emitting diode whose light illuminates the base of a phototransistor which supplies the output signal. The selective isolation function performed by such devices most often includes the function of isolating the ground conductors, or, more bluntly, isolating the masses.

Il est aussi connu, lorsque l'on doit réaliser à la fois une fonction de mélange et une fonction d'isolation sélective, de placer un dispositif d'isolation sélective sur chacune des voies d'entrée et de placer un dispositif mélangeur en sortie de ces dispositifs d'isolation. It is also known, when it is necessary to carry out both a mixing function and a selective isolation function, to place a selective isolation device on each of the input channels and to place a mixer device at the output of these isolation devices.

Par ailleurs encore, et de manière très générale, les concepteurs de circuits électroniques cherchent à minimiser le coût la complexité et 11 encombrement de ces circuits. Furthermore, and very generally, the designers of electronic circuits seek to minimize the cost, the complexity and the bulk of these circuits.

La présente invention a pour but d'associer lesdites fonctions de mélange et d'isolation sélective de manière simple, avec un coût et un encombrement diminués. The object of the present invention is to combine said mixing and selective isolation functions in a simple manner, with reduced cost and bulk.

Elle a pour objet un dispositif de couplage de plusieurs voies électriques d'entrée de signaux à une même voie électrique de sortie avec isolement des masses, ce dispositif comportant - un photo-émetteur pour chacune desdites voies d'entrée (14, 15, 19, 20) pour recevoir un signal électrique d'entrée transmis par cette voie et pour émettre un signal lumineux représentatif de ce signal d'entrée, - des moyens de transformation de tels signaux lumineux en signaux électriques pour réaliser une fonction d'isolation sélective, - et des moyens de mélange de signaux pour fournir un signal électrique de sortie sur ladite voie de sortie (17, 18), - ce dispositif étant caractérisé par le fait que lesdits moyens de transformation de signaux lumineux en signaux électriques sont constitués par un seul et même photo-récepteur (2) recevant les signaux lumineux émis par les divers dits photo-émetteurs (1, 3), de manière que ce photo-récepteur constitue en même temps lesdits moyens de mélange de signaux. It relates to a device for coupling several electrical signal input channels to the same electrical output channel with ground isolation, this device comprising - a photo-emitter for each of said input channels (14, 15, 19 , 20) for receiving an electrical input signal transmitted by this channel and for emitting a light signal representative of this input signal, - means for transforming such light signals into electrical signals to perform a selective isolation function, - and signal mixing means to supply an electrical output signal on said output channel (17, 18), - this device being characterized by the fact that said means for transforming light signals into electrical signals consist of a single and same photo-receiver (2) receiving the light signals emitted by the various said photo-emitters (1, 3), so that this photo-receiver constitutes at the same time said signal mixing means .

Selon la présente invention il est de plus apparu avantageux d'adopter, au moins dans certains cas, les dispositions plus particulierres suivantes - Lesdits photo-émetteurs (1, 3) et photo-récepteur (2) présentent la forme de pastilles semi-conductrices comportant chacune une face inférieure qui est fixée sur un substrat plan commun (7), et une face supérieure par laquelle lesdits signaux lumineux sont émis ou reçus, une surface réfléchissante (5) s'étendant au-dessus de ces pastilles pour réfléchir ces divers signaux lumineux vers ce photo-récepteur. According to the present invention, it has moreover appeared advantageous to adopt, at least in certain cases, the following more particular provisions - Said photo-emitters (1, 3) and photo-receiver (2) have the form of semiconductor pellets each comprising a lower face which is fixed on a common flat substrate (7), and an upper face by which said light signals are emitted or received, a reflecting surface (5) extending above these pellets to reflect these various light signals to this photo-receiver.

- La face supérieure dudit substrat (7) porte des plages métallisées (11, 12, 13) de fixation desdits photo-émetteurs (1, 3) et photo-récepteurs (2) et des pistes métallisées (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20) de liaison électrique pour permettre la polarisation de ces photo-émetteurs et photo-récepteurs et la transmission desdits signaux électriques.- The upper face of said substrate (7) carries metallized areas (11, 12, 13) for fixing said photo-emitters (1, 3) and photo-receivers (2) and metallized tracks (14, 15, 16, 17 , 18, 19, 20) of electrical connection to allow the polarization of these photo-emitters and photo-receivers and the transmission of said electrical signals.

- Une entretoise (8) est interposée entre ledit substrat (7) et ladite surface réfléchissante (5) et présente la forme d'une plaquette percée d'un trou (8) qui contient lesdites pastilles (1, 2, 3) et dont la paroi est propre à rétrodiffuser la lumière pour augmenter la proportion de lumière transmise audit photorécepteur (2).- A spacer (8) is interposed between said substrate (7) and said reflecting surface (5) and has the shape of a plate pierced with a hole (8) which contains said pellets (1, 2, 3) and whose the wall is suitable for backscattering the light to increase the proportion of light transmitted to said photoreceptor (2).

Il doit être compris que les éléments décrits et représentés peuvent, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, être remplacés par d'autres éléments assurant les mêmes fonctions techniques.

On va maintenant donner une description du fonctionnement de ce dispositif
Un signal électrique est appliqué sur le premier photoémetteur (1) ou sur le deuxième (2) ou sur les deux. L'émetteur excité réagit en engendrant un signal lumineux qui est représenté par la flèche (24) sur la figure 2 et qui est transmis par le milieu ambiant sur les parois du trou de l'entretoise (6) et sur la couche de métallisation (5) du couvercle (4) où il se réfléchit. il vient alors exciter la base du phototransistor (2) qui réagit en émettant un signal électrique. Ce signal transmis est par exemple proportionnel à celui appliqué sur l'un des émetteurs ou à la somme des signaux appliqués si les deux émetteurs sont excités.En prenant la précaution d'isoler les masses électriques on réalise ainsi une liaison optique à plusieurs entrées isolées électriquement, entre elles et par rapport à la sortie. Les circuits électroniques extérieurs sont connectés aux plages (22). Leur réalisation dépend des conditions de leur emploi et est à la portée de l'homme du métier.
We will now give a description of the operation of this device
An electrical signal is applied to the first photoemitter (1) or to the second (2) or both. The excited transmitter reacts by generating a light signal which is represented by the arrow (24) in FIG. 2 and which is transmitted by the ambient medium on the walls of the hole in the spacer (6) and on the metallization layer ( 5) of the cover (4) where it is reflected. it then excites the base of the phototransistor (2) which reacts by emitting an electrical signal. This transmitted signal is for example proportional to that applied to one of the transmitters or to the sum of the signals applied if the two transmitters are energized. By taking the precaution of isolating the electrical grounds, an optical link with several isolated inputs is thus produced electrically, between them and with respect to the output. The external electronic circuits are connected to the pads (22). Their realization depends on the conditions of their use and is within the reach of the skilled person.

De ce qui précède il apparait que le dispositif selon l'invention présente les avantages suivants a - il comporte plusieurs entrées (raisonnablement jusqu'à 4). On
peut ainsi l'utiliser soit pour réaliser la fonction "OU", soit
par économie pour relier deux dispositifs émetteurs optiques à
un seul récepteur, soit enfin pour constituer un mélangeur de
signaux analogiques, b - il peut être réalisé par implantation directe sur un substrat,
portant de nombreux autres éléments, ceci que ce substrat soit
fait de céramique comme dans le cas d'un circuit hybride, ou de
verre époxy comme dans le cas d'une carte de circuit imprimé. il
peut aussi être réalisé sous la forme d'un composant discret
comme celui précédemment décrit.
From the above it appears that the device according to the invention has the following advantages a - it has several inputs (reasonably up to 4). We
can thus use it either to perform the "OR" function, or
by economy to connect two optical transmitting devices to
a single receiver, or finally to constitute a mixer of
analog signals, b - it can be realized by direct implantation on a substrate,
carrying many other elements, this that this substrate is
made of ceramic as in the case of a hybrid circuit, or
epoxy glass as in the case of a printed circuit board. he
can also be realized as a discrete component
