    摘要: Disclosed is an integrated circuit (IC) chip incorporating a temperature-sensitive element and temperature stabilization circuitry for ensuring that the temperature of the temperature-sensitive element (TSE) remains essentially constant. The IC chip comprises a temperature-sensitive element and, within at least one region adjacent to the temperature-sensitive element, a first circuit that radiates a first heat amount to the TSE and a second circuit that radiates a second heat amount to the TSE. The second circuit senses changes in a first current amount in the first circuit and, thereby changes in the first heat amount. In response to those changes, the second circuit also automatically adjusts a second current amount in the second circuit and, thereby the second heat amount in order to ensure that the total heat amount radiated by the first circuit and the second circuit, in combination, to the TSE remains constant. Also disclosed is an associated method.

    摘要: Infrared (IR) temperature measurement and stabilization systems, and methods related thereto are provided. The innovation actively stabilizes temperatures of objects in proximity and within the path between an infrared (IR) sensor and target object. A temperature monitor and controller are employed to regulate power to resistive temperature devices (RTDs) thereby regulating current (and power) to the RTDs. As a result, temperatures of IR visible objects can be actively stabilized for changes, for example, changes in ambient temperatures, resulting in efficient and accurate temperature readings.
