    摘要: An impedance sensing circuit includes first and second current sources and first and second bias current sources that are appropriately coupled to first and second resistors. The impedance sensing circuit also includes a comparator that compares a first voltage based on the first terminal of the first resistor to a second voltage based on the first terminal of the second resistor to generate a comparator output signal. Either the comparator output signal or a digital signal based on the comparator output signal operates to regulate the current signals output from the first and second current sources so that the first voltage is same as the second voltage. The comparator output signal and the digital signal is representative of a difference between the first voltage and the second voltage that is based on an impedance difference between the first resistor and the second resistor.

    摘要: One example relates to a monitoring circuit that includes a capacitive digital-to-analog converter that receives a binary code, a reference voltage, a monitored voltage, and a ground reference, the capacitive digital-to-analog converter outputting an analog signal based on the binary code, the reference voltage, the monitored voltage, and the ground reference. The monitoring circuit further includes a comparator including a first input coupled to receive the analog signal and a second input coupled to the reference voltage, the comparator comparing the analog signal to the reference voltage and outputting a comparator signal based on the comparison. The monitoring circuit yet further includes a binary code generator that generates the binary code based on the comparator signal, the binary code approximating a magnitude of the monitored voltage.

    摘要: An intermediate relay maloperation preventing device and method based on an improved recursive wavelet algorithm is provided. The device includes a power supply module, a voltage sampling circuit, an analog-to-digital conversion module, a DSP chip, and a relay maloperation signal shielding module. The voltage sampling circuit is connected to the analog-to-digital conversion module. The analog-to-digital conversion module is connected to the DSP chip. The DSP chip is connected to and controls a relay signal control module. The voltage sampling circuit collects a voltage. An improved recursive wavelet is used to extract a voltage feature. As such, identification of a fault signal and a normal signal is achieved, and real-time fault monitoring is accomplished. The detection method may be easily implemented, exhibits good filtering performance and anti-interference capability, delivers high detection accuracy, and may accomplish real-time online monitoring of intermediate relay faults.

    摘要: A current measurement circuit is disclosed. The current measurement circuit includes first and second circuit branches coupled to a circuit node through which current is to be measured. During a first period, the first circuit branch converts the current into a first voltage. During a second period, the second circuit branch converter the current into a second voltage. An analog-to-digital converter is configured to convert the first and second voltages into digital values indicative of the measured current. A control circuit is configured to alternately select one of the first and second branches during the generation of the digital values.

    摘要: An autoranging ammeter with fast dynamic response allows improved dynamic measurement of rapidly changing direct electrical currents. The ammeter utilizes a low-cost dual threshold comparator mechanism coupled with an analog-to-digital converter and digital processing to rapidly select the appropriate current shunt resistor.
