The constant current source 21 may be the constant current source shown in fig. 2, or may be another constant current source. The inverter circuit 22 may be the inverter circuit 22 shown in fig. 2, or may be another inverter circuit, which is not limited herein.
Referring to fig. 2, the first operational amplifier U1 compares the reference voltage with the voltage at the two ends of the second resistor R2, and when the voltage at the two ends of the second resistor R2 is not equal to the reference voltage, adjusts the voltage output to the first MOS transistor Q1 through the first resistor R1, and further adjusts the drain-source resistance between the drain and the source of the first MOS transistor Q1, and finally makes the voltage at the two ends of the second resistor R2 equal to the reference voltage, so that the current flowing through the second resistor R2 is constant, and at this time, the current value I of the constant current signal provided by the constant current source is equal to the reference voltageDPCan be obtained by the following formula:
Figure BDA0003187711680000071
wherein, V0 is the voltage value of the reference voltage, and R2 is the resistance value of the second resistor R2.

the signal processing circuit 31 is configured to convert the voltage detection signal into a smooth dc signal and output the dc signal to the main control circuit 40.
It can be understood that, taking the main control circuit 40 as a micro control unit as an example, the voltage detection signal is an ac signal, and the micro control unit cannot directly receive the ac signal. In this embodiment, the signal processing circuit 31 converts the voltage detection signal from an ac signal to a corresponding smooth dc signal, so that the micro control unit can receive and process the voltage detection signal.

and a peak detection circuit 314, configured to obtain a peak value of the voltage detection signal in a direct current form, and output the peak value to the main control circuit 40.

The present embodiment differentially amplifies the differential voltages V1 and V2 on at least two electrode pads 10 by a differential amplifier and outputs a differentially amplified voltage V3. Interference signals such as myoelectric signals generated by the object to be detected are filtered by a band-pass filter, only the differential amplification voltage V3 is reserved, and the filtered signals are marked as filtering signals V4. The ac filtered signal V4 is half-wave or full-wave rectified by the rectifier circuit 313 to become a pulsating dc signal V5. Then, the peak value of the pulsating direct current signal is obtained by the peak value detection circuit 314, and a relatively gentle direct current signal V6 is obtained and output to the main control circuit 40, wherein the amplitude of the gentle direct current signal is the peak value of the differential amplification voltage V3.
At this time, the main control circuit 40 may calculate the effective value of the differential amplified voltage V3 according to the relationship between the peak value and the effective value of the differential amplified voltage V3, and then calculate the effective value of the voltage at the two ends of the object to be detected connected to the electrode pad 10 according to the effective value of the differential amplified voltage V3 and the amplification factor of the differential amplifying circuit 311, and may calculate the transthoracic impedance of the object to be detected by ohm's law according to the effective value of the voltage at the two ends of the object to be detected and the current value of the ac constant current signal.
