    摘要: A semiconductor-type pressure transducer is disclosed in which the pressure change is detected as a resistance change by use of a bridge circuit including at least a gage resistor (G 1 , G 2 , G 3 , G 4 ) changing with an external force. Each gage resistor is made of a PN junction of a semiconductor. The pressure transducer further comprises an amplification factor compensator (G s ) for cancelling the effect of the temperature change of the gage resistors making up the bridge circuit on the amplification factor of the amplification circuit (OP2) for amplifying the output of the bridge circuit.

    摘要: 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: The drain voltage of an IG FET (T,) having a channel responsive to the change in physical quantity to be measured is negatively fed back to the gate terminal of the IG FET. The negative feedback loop includes series connection of a first amplifier (A,) having an amplification factor larger than unity and a second amplifier (N,) having an amplification factor smaller than unity. The interconnection point between the first and the second amplifiers is connected to the output terminal. There is provided a stable, highly sensitive and highly reliable semiconductor sensor.

    摘要: A stress sensor includes a body (100) of semiconductor material defining diaphragm (101) and diaphragm constraint portions (102), one or more stress sensing semiconductor piezoresistive domain(s) (103,104; RA, RB, RC, RD) formed at least partly in a major surface of the diaphragm portion, and a signal processing circuit receiving the output of the domain(s) to provide an output signal in response to stress applied to the diaphragm. The circuit includes means for compensating for the effects of temperature on the stress sensor, the means including a first type of resistive domain (R1, R2) formed in said major surface of the body by doping with a semiconductor material of the same conductivity type as the first mentioned domain, the resistive domain having a temperature coefficient of resistance substantially the same as that of the piezoresistive domain, and being located so as to be substantially insensitive to the applied stress, and a second type of resistive domain (R0, R6, R7, R25, R26) supported by said body adjacent said major surface, said second type of domain having a temperature coefficient of resistance substantially less than that of the piezoresistive domain and being located so as to be substantially insensitive to the applied stress.

    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.
