An oscillator circuit includes a gate G.sub.11 of C-MOS type (Q.sub.1, Q.sub.2, and the like) having the function of increasing an operating current i with increasing operating frequency. A humidity sensor HS changing electric impedance thereof in accordance with humidity is arranged in part of the oscillator circuit. The oscillator circuit converts a change in humidity into a change in frequency, causes the gate G.sub.11 to convert the change in frequency into a change in operating current i, and outputs the converted change in operating current i. Further, in order to increase the change in operating current i due to the change in frequency, a series circuit consisting of a capacitor C.sub.13 and a resistor R.sub.17 is connected to the gate G.sub.11 as a capacitive load.

An A/D converter system has an A/D converter element (10) which provides a first predetermined number of digital output bits for each input analog signal. An addition device (12,70) adds linear slope potential to the input analog signal. A calculator (14) provides an average of a plurality of digital output signals of the A/D converter element so that the average has larger number of bits than the first predetermined number. The addition device is implemented by a time constant circuit (70) which functions as an integral circuit for an input analog signal, and functions as a differential circuit for a slope potential.

An absolute humidity meter in which a humidity sensor changes an electrical impedance thereof-exponentially with respect to the relative humidity. A z-f converting circuit (impedance to frequency ) generates a pulse signal corresponding to the impedance. A time constant control differentiating circuit has an impedance of a voltage control variable impedance element changed exponentially by a control voltage, and outputs a differentiated signal obtained by differentiating the pulse signal. A waveform shaping circuit outputs a pulse signal train obtained by binary-valued the differentiated signal. An integrating circuit causes a first integrating circuit to obtain the control voltage by integrating the pulse signal train and a second integrating circuit to obtain an output voltage of a relative humidity signal by integrating the pulse signal train, and obtains an absolute humidity signal by causing at least one of these integrating circuit to control the control voltage or the output voltage with increasing temperature.

A humidity sensor 1 has an impedance Zs thereof changed exponentially with respect to a relative humidity. A z-f conversion circuit 2 generates a pulse signal S1 corresponding to the impedance Zs. A time constant controlled differentiating circuit 3 has an impedance Zt of a voltage control variable impedance element 32 changed exponentially by a control voltage Vc, and outputs a differentiated signal S2 obtained by differentiating the pulse signal S1. A waveform shaping circuit 4 outputs a pulse signal train S3 obtained by binary-coding the differentiated signal S2. An integrating circuit 5 causes a first integrating circuit 51 to obtain the control voltage Vc by integrating the pulse signal train S3 and causes a second integrating circuit 52 to obtain a humidity signal S4 by integrating the pulse signal train S3. A bias circuit 6 applies a bias voltage to a control terminal 323 of the voltage control variable impedance element 32.

Said differentiation circuit (3) has a capacitor (31), a first variable impedance element (32) which is controlled by said feedback path , and a second variable impedance element (33) coupled in series with the first variable impedance element (32).

It is an object of the invention to provide a magnetic sensor apparatus and a current sensor apparatus each of which incorporates a fluxgate element for reducing an offset voltage and reducing variations in offset voltage. A drive section for exciting a sensor coil (2) includes a self-excited oscillation circuit having a resonant circuit part of which is made up of the sensor coil (2). The self-excited oscillation circuit includes an npn transistor (21) and a pnp transistor (31) that are amplifier elements used for continuing oscillation. The npn transistor (21) operates when an oscillation wave is on the positive side. The pnp transistor (31) operates when an oscillation wave is on the negative side. In the self-excited oscillation circuit, clamping of oscillation waves similarly occurs on both positive and negative sides. Therefore, the oscillation waveform has symmetrical positive and negative portions or has minor asymmetry if any.

It is an object of the invention to provide a current sensor apparatus that reduces measurement errors resulting from variations in a position of a current path passing through the space inside a magnetic yoke. The current sensor apparatus comprises a ring-shaped magnetic yoke (2) surrounding a current path (1), part of the yoke having a gap (3), and a magnetic sensor element (4) placed in the gap (3) of the magnetic yoke (2).
