A pressure sensor includes a first diaphragm having a first surface receiving pressure, a first thermal detection section located opposite a central section of the first diaphragm, and a second thermal detection section having little displacement by pressure, and located opposite the first diaphragm The pressure sensor amplifies and outputs a difference between the first thermal detection section for pressure measurement and the second thermal detection section for reference output. Since the diaphragm to which the second thermal detection section is opposed is equal in thickness to the diaphragm to which the first thermal detection section is opposed, pressure can be accurately measured relative to a sudden change in atmospheric temperature.
