摘要: A circuit includes a temperature-sensitive voltage divider. The temperature-sensitive voltage divider includes a temperature-sensitive resistor and a second resistor having a first terminal coupled to a first terminal of the temperature-sensitive resistor.

摘要: The present disclosure provides an optical sensor having constant sensitivity regardless of changes in temperature. The optical sensor may include a light emitting device configured to emit light; a light receiving device configured to receive the light emitted from the light emitting device, and to output current based on an intensity of the light; a temperature sensor coupled with the light emitting device, and having electrical resistance varying with temperature; and a microcontroller including a first channel for supplying first current directly to the light emitting device, a second channel for supplying second current to the light emitting device via the temperature sensor, and a third channel for receiving the current output from the light receiving device.

摘要: A device having a first terminal region and a second terminal region. The first terminal region includes fine-tune (FT) metal stripes that are separated from each other by a first distance along the longitudinal direction. The second terminal region is spaced apart from the first terminal region by at least an inter-terminal distance. The second terminal region includes coarse-tune (CT) metal stripes that are separated from each other by a second distance along the longitudinal direction. The second distance is greater than the first distance, and the inter-terminal distance greater than the second distance. Each of the FT metal stripes may be selected as a first access location, and each of the CT metal stripes may be selected as a second access location. A pair of selected first and second access locations access a sheet resistance defined by a distance therebetween.

摘要: A thermistor drive circuit includes a plurality of driving resistors, at least one current correction resistor, a voltage measurement unit and a controller. The driving resistors are selectively connected to a thermistor for correcting a temperature characteristic of the thermistor whose resistance value changes in accordance with a temperature to be detected. The current correction resistor is selectively connected between a power supply and a ground. The voltage measurement unit measures a terminal voltage of the thermistor. The controller switches connection states of the driving resistors according to the terminal voltage. When switching the connection states of the driving resistors, the controller also switches a connection state of the current correction resistor to suppress a fluctuation of a power supply current before and after the switching of the connection states of the driving resistors.

摘要: An interface device includes: at least one configuration channel terminal for communicating configuration information, wherein whether the interface device itself is in connection and whether the interface device itself is at a high voltage side or a low voltage side are determined according to a voltage or current status at the configuration channel terminal; a multi-functional transmission line, which includes a thermistor; and a temperature monitor circuit, coupled to the multi-functional transmission line, for sensing a temperature status to generate a temperature sensing signal. When two interface devices are connected with each other, the thermistor and the temperature monitor circuit can be located together in one of the interface devices or separately located in different interface devices.

摘要: A temperature detecting circuit includes a first thermistor, a second thermistor, a first pull-up resistor, a second pull-up resistor, and a controller. The controller is configured to sense a temperature based on a voltage signal from the first thermistor if a temperature corresponding to a voltage signal from one of the first thermistor and the second thermistor is below a threshold temperature. The controller is configured to sense a temperature based on a voltage signal from the second thermistor if a temperature corresponding to a voltage signal from one of the first thermistor and the second thermistor is higher than or equal to the threshold temperature. A resistance Ra of the first thermistor, a resistance Rb of the second thermistor, a resistance Rc of the first pull-up resistor, and a resistance Rd of the second pull-up resistor have a relationship expressed by Ra Rd.
