Abstract: A MEMS apparatus for thermal energy control including a sensor and an IC chip is provided. The sensor includes a heating device for heating a sensing element and a detecting device for detecting a physical quantity. The IC chip includes a memory unit for storing a target value of the sensing element and a data processing unit for convert the physical quantity to a converted value, where a gap value is defined by subtracting the converted value from the target value. Besides, a control unit of the IC chip sets a parameter value according to the gap value, and a driving unit adjusts a quantity of thermal energy generated by the heating device according to the parameter value to reduce heating time and frequency of the heating device thereby reducing electrical power consumption. The MEMS apparatus is applicable to MEMS sensors requiring controlled operating temperature, such as a gas sensor.

Abstract: A gas sensing device is adapted to detect a concentration of a target gas. The gas sensing device comprises a dielectric layer, a reference sensing portion, a target sensing portion, and a controller. The dielectric layer is disposed on a surface. The reference sensing portion and the target sensing portion are respectively disposed on a supporting side of the dielectric layer, with said supporting side facing away from the surface. The reference sensing portion includes a first conductive layer and a first sensing layer with low sensitivity to the target gas. The target sensing portion includes a second conductive layer and a second sensing layer with high sensitivity to the target gas. The controller obtains the immittance values of the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, and calculates a concentration value of the target gas according to the immittance values and a correlation function.

Abstract: A resistive gas sensor is provided. The resistive gas sensor includes a sensing circuit and a determination circuit. The sensing circuit senses a gas to generate a detection signal. The determination circuit performs a frequency-division operation on the detection signal by a frequency-division parameter to generate a frequency-division signal, counts a half of a period of the frequency-division signal to generate a half-period count value, and determines concentration of the gas according to the half-period count value. The determination circuit determines the frequency-division parameter according to the half-period count value.

Abstract: A sensing device is provided. The sensing device includes a plurality of infrared thermosensitive elements and a plurality of resistor-capacitor (RC) oscillators. The plurality of infrared thermosensitive elements are arranged in an array. Each of the plurality of infrared thermosensitive elements has a resistance value which changes with a temperature of the infrared thermosensitive element by absorbing infrared radiation and generates a sensing voltage corresponding to the resistance value. The plurality of RC oscillators are coupled to the plurality of infrared thermosensitive elements to receive the corresponding sensing values, respectively. Each of the plurality of RC oscillators generates a digital sensing signal according to the corresponding sensing value to indicate the temperature of the corresponding infrared thermosensitive element. Each of the plurality of RC oscillators is disposed under the corresponding infrared thermosensitive element.
