It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely used for explaining the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

The electronic vaporizing device mentioned in the present disclosure is a vaporizing device or a vaporizer that heats and evaporates a liquid substance into a vaporous mist-like substance.

The control unit MCU comprises a memory EEPROM, a control logic module Control, an air pressure sensing unit driving module Driver, a signal amplification module PGA, an analog-to-digital conversion module ADC, a data processing and calibration module P&C, a communication interface module SPI, and an enabling signal input control circuit Ready control. The air pressure sensing unit Airpre-sensor is configured to detect an air pressure generated inside the electronic vaporizing device when suction. The suction generally generates a negative pressure, and the air pressure sensing unit Airpre-sensor obtains an air pressure analog signal after detecting.

The memory EEPROM is configured to store a set relevant parameter and a relevant parameter generated during working, the control logic module Control is configured for a logic control, an analysis, and a judgment of an internal circuit of the control unit MCU, the air pressure sensing unit driving module Driver is configured to assist and drive the air pressure sensing unit Airpre-sensor to work, the signal amplification module PGA is configured to amplify the air pressure analog signal detected by the air pressure sensing unit Airpre-sensor and transmit it to the analog-to-digital conversion module ADC, the analog-to-digital conversion module ADC converts the air pressure analog signal into an air pressure digital signal, and the data processing and calibration module P&C processes and calibrates the air pressure digital signal and then converts it into an air flow quantity digital signal. Since the external air pressure is not stable and constant, calibration is needed to avoid errors.

The communication interface module SPI and the enabling signal input control circuit Ready control connect some of the plurality of the pins. The communication interface module SPI is used for a communication connection with an external component and input or output a data signal, and the enabling signal input control circuit Ready control is configured to receive an external enabling signal and control the communication interface module SPI to work, that is, when the enabling signal is received, the enabling signal input control circuit Ready control enable the communication interface module SPI to output data or input data.

In order to reduce an energy consumption of the electronic vaporizing device during standby, the chip of the present disclosure is also provided with a standby state. The control unit MCU is inactive in the standby state, and the air pressure sensing unit Airpre-sensor is configured to have a patrol detection for the air pressure, so as to save power. When the air pressure sensing unit Airpre-sensor detects that the air pressure changes, the control unit MCU immediately enters a working state. When a suction occurs, a negative pressure will be generated inside the electronic vaporizing device, that is, the pressure will change. When the air pressure sensing unit Airpre-sensor detects a change of the air pressure analog signal inside the electronic vaporizing device, the control unit MCU is woken up, powered and enters the working state.

As shown in FIG. 1, the pins of the chip comprise a power supply pin VDD, a ground pin GND, an activation signal output pin ENB, an internal data output pin SDO, an external data input pin SDI, a clock signal pin SCK, and an enabling signal input pin READY. The activation signal output pin ENB serves to output an activation signal generated by the control unit MCU to an external controller (not shown in the figure) in order to activate the electronic vaporizing device. The internal data output pin SDO, the external data input pin SDI, and the clock pin SCK are connected to the communication interface module SPI. The internal data output pin SDO serves to output internal data to the external controller, the external data input pin SDI serves to input external data, and the clock signal pin SCK serves to input a clock signal to read and write data. The enabling signal input pin READY serves to input the enabling signal to control the internal data output and the external data input.

As shown in FIG. 1, an air pressure change threshold value is preset in the memory EEPROM, and the control unit MCU is configured to generate the activation signal in a condition that the control unit MCU determines that a change value of the air pressure digital signal reaches the set air pressure change threshold value. That is, when the control unit MCU determines that the change value of the air pressure digital signal reaches the set air pressure change threshold value, the control unit MCU generates the activation signal to be output to the external controller, thereby activating the electronic vaporizing device. Under normal circumstances, a change of an internal pressure of the electronic vaporizing device unintentionally caused by a user, and a change of the external air pressure may falsely trigger the electronic vaporizing device to enter the working state. In order to avoid this situation, it is necessary to preset the air pressure change threshold value. When a value of the change of the internal pressure of the electronic vaporizing device exceeds the preset air pressure change threshold value, it is determined that the electronic vaporizing device needs to be started to work. Otherwise, even if there is a slight change of the air pressure, the electronic vaporizing device will not be activated by false triggering.

The chip of the embodiment is characterized in that it is packaged with an air pressure sensing unit Airpre-sensor, a control unit MCU, and a plurality of peripheral auxiliary resistors, and an auxiliary capacitor. The air pressure sensing unit Airpre-sensor and the control unit MCU can be set as two built-in bare chips. The air pressure sensing unit Airpre-sensor is a sensor that uses a pressure sensitive element, that is, a bridge pressure sensor to detect a change value of an air pressure, and the change value of the air pressure could be converted to corresponding air flow quantity. A piezoresistive pressure sensor is integrated into a single chip of the embodiment, and a sensor signal conditioning and transmission circuit with the control unit MCU as the core is integrated into the chip as well, and an SPI interface is used for output. The chip of the embodiment detects the air flow quantity by detecting a change of the air pressure, a built-in signal acquisition circuit and a high-accuracy analog-to-digital converter allow an accurate acquisition of a signal of a sensing unit, and the built-in MCU allows a calibration and compensation of the signal, a built-in algorithm allows a conversion of pressure to airflow, and measurement data is provided synchronously through the SPI interface and sent to an external component.
