A sensor circuit for detecting a current supplied to a non-linear light-emitting diode (LED) and for producing a current reading dependent on temperature. The sensor circuit comprises first and second serially interconnected resistors also connected in series with the LED, and a temperature-dependent impedance connected in parallel with one of the first and second resistors. At least a portion of the current through the LED flows through the sensor circuit to enable the first and second serially interconnected resistors and said temperature-dependent impedance to produce a variable voltage signal representative of the current through the LED and dependent on temperature.
摘要:
To determine the dependence of a first measured quantity (Y) on a second measured quantity (P) the second measured quantity (P) is periodically modified with a frequency (f0). The first measured quantity (Y), which changes accordingly, is measured. From the first measurement signal of the first measured quantity (Y) the components of the first measured quantity (Y) are determined with at least a plurality of frequencies. From the components determined in this way the first measured quantity (Y) is reconstructed by signal processing for at least a plurality of values of the second measured quantity (P).
