Definitions
- the invention relates to an electronic counter circuit for comparative measurement over time between two successive periodically occurring events.
- the electronic counter circuit according to the invention has the advantage that the time relationships between two events can be recognized with a simple circuit structure. Characterized in that with the occurrence of a first event a comparison counter is loaded with a reset value and the comparison counter begins to count with a first clock frequency and when a second event occurs the comparison counter with a second clock frequency until a third event occurs in opposite the direction begins to count and the counter reading for the occurrence of the third event forms a comparison value for the ratio of the signal times between the occurrence of the first and second events and between the occurrence of the second and third events, it is very advantageous in a simple manner It is possible to resolve the time comparison measurement by counting processes running in different directions and to draw the ratio of the two signal times from the counter reading at the end of the comparison measurement.
- the comparison counter is formed by two separate counters which have a different counting direction. In this way it is very advantageously achieved that the counter providing the first signal time can already carry out a new measurement, while the second counter is carrying out the comparison measurement.
- Figure 1 is a block diagram of an electronic Counter circuit in a first embodiment
- Figure 2 is a block diagram of an electronic counter circuit in a second embodiment.
- the block diagram shown in FIG. 1 has a control unit 10 which is supplied with event signals E1, E2 and E3 via an input 12.
- the event signals E are generated, for example, by a sensor wheel arranged on a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine.
- the encoder wheel has teeth distributed over the circumference, each of these teeth causing an event signal E.
- the event signals E can, however, also be generated by a segment sensor arranged, for example, on a camshaft of an internal combustion engine, with, for example, a positive edge a first event signal E1 and a negative edge a second event signal E2 and the positive edge of a next segment a third event signal E3 causes.
- the control unit 10 is connected to a first input 14 of a comparison counter 16.
- the control unit 10 sends a signal to to the comparison counter 16, which causes the comparison counter 16 to be loaded from a register 18 with a reset value RW becomes.
- the reset value RW preferably has a value of zero.
- a clock frequency t1 is applied to a second input 20 of the comparison counter 16, with which the comparison counter 16 is counted upwards, starting with the reset value RW.
- the clock frequency t1 is provided by a gate logic 22 which puts through an input clock C1 when the gate logic 22 is acted upon by a control signal S1 coming from the control unit 10.
- the control signal S1 is triggered by the control unit 10 when the first event signal El is present.
- the comparison counter 16 is loaded to the reset value RW at the occurrence of the first event E1 and at the same time the counter is counted with the clock frequency T1.
- the clock frequency tl triggers a counting process by an incremental value, which is preferably 1.
- the input clock C1 is provided by a frequency divider circuit 24, a frequency fOL supplied by a control circuit, not shown, being evaluated in a manner known per se with a predeterminable frequency division factor F1.
- the clock frequency t1, with which the comparison counter 16 begins to count after the occurrence of the event E1 can be influenced via the frequency division factor F1.
- the control unit 10 sends a new signal to to the comparison counter 16, so that the comparison counter 16 stops the counting process at the clock frequency t1.
- the comparison counter 16 is connected to a third input 26 applied with a clock frequency t2.
- the clock frequency t2 causes the comparison counter 16 to count down, starting with the count reached when the event E2 occurred.
- a counting process is triggered by an incremental value, preferably of -1.
- the clock frequency t2 is provided by a gate logic 28, which performs an input clock C2 as a function of a control signal S2 provided by the control unit 10.
- the control signal S2 is triggered when the second event E2 occurs.
- the input clock C2 is supplied by a frequency divider circuit 30, with the aid of which a frequency f02 supplied by the control circuit (not shown) is evaluated with a predeterminable frequency division factor F2.
- the clock frequency t2 with which the comparison counter 16 counts down is thus determined by the frequency division factor F2.
- the control unit 10 sends a further signal to to the comparison counter 16, so that it stops its counting process.
- the comparison counter 16 With the occurrence of the event E3, the comparison counter 16 thus has a specific counter reading Z. Since the reset value RW loaded with the occurrence of the first event E1 is known, this can be compared with the counter reading Z now available for the occurrence of the event E3 . If the comparison counter 16 has been counted up with an equally large clock frequency t1 and a clock frequency t2, speaks a positive count Z of the statement that the signal time between the second event E2 and the third event E3 is less than the signal time between the first event E1 and the second event E2.
- the signal time between events E2 and E3 is greater than the signal time between events E1 and E2.
- the clock frequencies t1 and t2 do not necessarily have to be the same size, but can be predetermined by the frequency divider factors F1 and F2, the ratio of the clock frequencies t2 to tl can be used to determine the ratio of the signal times between the events E1 and E2 and E2 events E2 and E3 are closed. It is hereby achieved that the accuracy of the comparative measurement over time is dependent only on the clock frequencies t1 or t2 and not on the event signals E provided by a transmitter. The exact signal-time ratio is characterized by the reset value RW.
- the counter reading Z and, if appropriate, the intermediate counter reading for the occurrence of the event E2 can, as indicated here, be supplied to the gate logic 32 and 34 for further evaluation, for example. In the context of the present invention, however, the evaluation of the counter reading Z should not be taken into account any further.
- the example described assumes that the reset value RW has a value of zero and the comparison counter 16 is counted away from or added to the reset value RW with each incremental value.
- a "somewhat larger ratio" function can be realized with a reset value RW equal to zero, so that the statement that the signal time between events E2 and E3 is somewhat longer than the signal time between the Events El and E2, is possible without evaluating them accurately.
- FIG. 2 shows a block diagram which represents a preferred embodiment of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1.
- a first counter 36 is arranged here, which is loaded with a reset value RW with a signal tOl coming from the control unit 10 when the event El occurs.
- the counter 36 now begins to count up at the clock frequency tl.
- the second counter 38 is started via a signal t02 emitted by the control unit 10, which represents the occurrence of the second event E2 and counts down at the clock frequency t2.
- the second counter 38 then makes the counter reading Z available when the event E3 occurs, as already described for FIG.
- the first counter 36 can immediately begin a new signal time measurement. However, this is only possible when the counter reading of the first counter 36 was transferred to the second counter 38 when the event E2 occurred.
- the counter status ZI and the counter status Z can also be fed to further processing by the gate logics 32 and 34.
- the counter circuits shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are only examples, so the counting directions can of course also be interchanged. This means that with the clock frequency t1 the comparison counter 16 or the first counter 36 is counted down and with the clock frequency t2 the comparison counter 16 or the second counter 38 is counted up.
