Eine Meßschaltung zur Durchführung eines Kompensati onsverfahrens insbesondere für einen piezoresistiven Druck aufnehmer mit einer Meßbrücke (7) und einem nachgeord neten Ausgangs-Differenzverstärker (15) umfaßt ferner eine Stromversorgungsschaltung (13). Um eine optimale Tempe raturkompensation für die Meßbrücke (7) bei maximaler Auflösung des Druckmeßsignals zu ermöglichen, ist vorge sehen, daß dem Ausgangs-Differenzverstärker (15) eine digitalisierte Kompensationsschaltung mit einem Analog- Digital-Wandler (21), einem Speicher (23) und zumindest einem weiteren Digital-Analog-Wandler (25, 27) vorgeordnet sind. Das temperaturabhängige Spannungsdifferenz- Eingangssignal an der Meßbrücke (7) wird über den nachge ordneten Wandler (21) digitalisiert und entsprechend in dem Speicher (23) abgespeicherte Kompensationswerte umge wandelt. Danach werden diese Werte erneut in ein analoges Kompensationssignal in einem Wandler (25, 27) umgewan delt. Bei an sich analoger Meßwertermittlung wird also allein die Fehlerkompensation auf digitalisiertem Wege durchge führt.

摘要:
A pressure sensor (33) is provided by a bridge circuit on a semiconductor diaphragm (44), with diaphragm deflection being effective to produce an output voltage proportional to the deflecting force. A constant current source (62) is coupled to the energizing terminals of the bridge circuit. By measuring the voltage drop across the semiconductor bridge during operation, an output signal indicative of bridge temperature is obtained. Accordingly two output signals, pressure (32) and temperature (35), are derived from a single bridge sensor (33). This produces a compact, accurate transducer assembly for use in an automotive control system, providing two control signals from a single sensor structure.
