摘要:
A backup circuit that can be fabricated by the standard CMOS process and has a small circuit scale. The backup circuit (10) is disposed between a digital circuit (20) including a storage circuit and a power supply terminal (TIN, TGND) for supplying power to the digital circuit. MOS transistors (MOS1, MOS2) connected in series are disposed between the power supply terminal (TIN, TGND) and a backup capacitor (C1). The MOS transistors (MOS1, MOS2) serve as resistors when the power is normally supplied to the power supply terminal, and as diodes each operating with its backward direction defined as the direction from the digital circuit toward the power supply terminal when the power is cut off.

摘要:
In a thermal-type airflow meter that measures an intake airflow rate in an internal combustion engine of an automobile or the like, there has been a problem that pulsation errors caused by external fluctuations under the environment including a large pulsation and reverse flow in the intake valve are difficult to be reduced. In order to solve this problem, the invention provides a flowmeter comprising a detection element that outputs a non-linear signal corresponding to a flow rate, and a regulation means that regulates an output signal of the detection element for controlling. With this construction, the regulation means executes output regulation processing that regulates irregularities of the detection element in the output signal, and inequality linearization processing that regulates an average value of the output signal after the output regulation processing by means of regulating parameters.

In a thermal air flow sensor according to the invention, a hollow formed in a detecting element is communicated with a circuit chamber, in which driving circuit parts of the detecting element are mounted, or an intake duct exterior. Thereby, pressure in the hollow balances with pressure on the outside. Also, since the circuit chamber is provided to be isolated from a detection chamber, in which a detecting part of the detecting element is arranged, that is, a passage chamber, through which air being a measuring object flows, air flowing in the passage chamber can be restrained from flowing into the hollow to have an influence on flow output characteristics.

An object of the invention is to realize a thermal gas flow sensor capable of reducing time fluctuation of a heating resistor. A heating resistor 3 and thermometric resistors 4 and 14 are formed on a surface of a thin-wall portion 2. Electrode drawn wires 18 to 23 and pad portions 8 to 13 are formed so as to draw signal lines from the heating resistor 3 and the thermometric resistors 4 and 14. Contact portions 24 to 29 are formed to come in contact with the heating resistor 3, the thermometric resistors 4 and 14, and the electrode drawn wires 18 to 23. The heating resistor 3 and the thermometric resistors 4 and 14 are covered with protective films 30a, 30b, and 31a and insulating films 31b and 30c. The protective films 31a and 31b are formed of a dense film formed of nitride or the like. A part coming in contact with a drawn wire portion 34 and the heating resistor 3 is covered with a contact barrier metal film 36 (titanium-based electrical conductor such as titanium nitride, titanium tungsten, and titanium). The titanium-based electrical conductor is a dense film and resistant to hydrogen. Therefore, it is possible to reduce a time fluctuation of the heating resistor.
