The power supply terminal VccH that the heating of film 48 is hindered in heating electric is connected with the energization control being made up of bipolar transistor The switch element 83 of system, by switch element 83 power control portion is constituted.Using with being connected with to heat in switch element 83 The contrary side in the side of resistive film 48 is connected with the power supply terminal VccH0 of the constant pressure for being applied with heater-driven.In heating Ground wire terminal GND, heating electric resistance are connected with the side contrary with the side for being connected with switch element 83 in resistive film 48 Film 48 is connected with switch element 83 between power supply terminal VccH0 and ground wire terminal GND.
Here, the coupling part of monitoring temperature resistive film 47 and divider resistance 84 is with the comparison being made up of operational amplifier One terminal connection of device 85, have input for being switched on or switched off becoming for switch element 83 to another terminal of comparator 85 The control targe voltage V0 of threshold value.Therefore, if the temperature of device substrate 40 (magnetoresistive element 4) is reduced, monitoring temperature resistance The resistance value of film 47 is reduced, so as to pass through the temperature detection voltage of monitoring temperature resistive film 47 and the tie point of divider resistance 84 Can reduce.Now, if temperature detection voltage is lower than the control targe voltage V0 of another terminal of input to comparator 85, compare Low-voltage and ON switch element 83 are exported compared with device 85, so as to power to heating electric resistance film 48.Therefore, (the sense magnetic of magnetoresistive element 4 Film 41-44) it is heated.
In this state, if the temperature of device substrate 40 rises, monitoring temperature is risen with the resistance value of resistive film 47, Monitoring temperature resistive film 47 can rise with the temperature detection voltage of the tie point of divider resistance 84.Now, if temperature detection is electric Pressure ratio is input into high to the control targe voltage V0 of another terminal of comparator 85, then the output HIGH voltage of comparator 85 and open Element 83 is closed, so as to stop powering to heating electric resistance film 48.Therefore, the temperature of magnetoresistive element 4 (sense magnetic film 41-44) can be tieed up Hold into the set point of temperature according to regulations such as control targe voltage V0.
(setting of control targe voltage V0)
When above-mentioned temperature control is carried out, control targe voltage V0 is exported to comparator 85 from microcomputer 9.That is, Control targe voltage configuration part 94 is built-in with microcomputer 9, and the outside of microcomputer 9 is provided with storage control The memory 99 of target voltage V0 processed, the control targe voltage configuration part 94 of microcomputer 9 will be from depositing by D/A converter sections 93 The control targe voltage V0 that reservoir 99 reads is converted to after analog signal from data signal, is exported to comparator 85.Here, in magnetic In the control targe voltage setting operation that sensor device 10 is implemented before dispatching from the factory, by each setting control mesh of magnet sensor arrangement 10 Mark voltage V0.
More specifically, because monitoring temperature is larger using the temperature coefficient of resistance value with the grade of resistive film 47 resistive element Resistive element, thus it is different from divider resistance 84, and the resistance value of each magnet sensor arrangement 10 (each device substrate 40) is easily produced Raw deviation.Particularly in the manner, due to by monitoring temperature with resistive film 47 be used as monitoring temperature resistive element, therefore with Block resistive element is compared as divider resistance 84, and the resistance value of each magnet sensor arrangement 10 (each device substrate 40) is easy Produce deviation.Therefore, in the manner, before magnet sensor arrangement 10 dispatches from the factory, to every in control targe voltage setting operation The calculating monitoring temperature of individual magnet sensor arrangement 10 resistive film 47 is actually changed into temperature detection voltage during preset temperature, will so Result of calculation be defined as control targe voltage V0, and be stored in memory 99.
Also, in the manner, it is determined that during control targe voltage V0, making operational part 96 and Temperature measuring section 97 built-in In microcomputer 9, in control targe voltage setting operation, the measurement result and operational part 96 based on Temperature measuring section 97 Operation result determine control targe voltage V0, and be stored in memory 99.
Target temperature is being set to into 70 DEG C, the constant pressure of the monitoring temperature applied to the two ends of bleeder circuit 80 is being set to Vc, by the temperature coefficient of monitoring temperature resistive film 47 α (Ω/DEG C) is set to, and the resistance of divider resistance 84 is set to into the situation of Rc Under, the content that such control targe voltage sets operation is illustrated.First, it is right before magnet sensor arrangement 10 dispatches from the factory The two ends of bleeder circuit 80 apply constant pressure Vc of monitoring temperature, detect monitoring temperature resistive film 47 and divider resistance now The temperature detection voltage Va of 84 tie pointta, also, environment temperature ta now is detected by Temperature measuring section 97.
As a result, operational part 96 obtains the resistance of the monitoring temperature resistive film 47 when temperature is ta by following formula Value Rsta
Vata=Rsta×(Vc/(Rsta+Rc))
Rsta=Vata×((Rsta+Rc)/Vc)
Rsta=(Vata×Rc)/(Vc-Vata)
Here, even if magnet sensor arrangement 10 or device substrate 40 are different, the monitoring temperature temperature coefficient α of resistive film 47 Also it is constant, therefore resistance value R of monitoring temperature resistive film 47 of temperature when being 70 DEG C70For Rsta×(1+(α×(70-ta))。 Therefore, operational part 96 can calculate temperature detection voltage Va when temperature is 70 DEG C according to following formula70, thus control targe is electric Temperature detection voltage Va when temperature is 70 DEG C by pressure configuration part 9470Result of calculation be stored in as control targe voltage V0 In reservoir 99.
Va70=Vc × R70/(R70+Rc)
But, R70=Rsta×(1+(α×(70-ta))
Therefore, after magnet sensor arrangement 10 dispatches from the factory, can in magnet sensor arrangement 10 based on be actually formed Monitoring temperature controls temperature with the corresponding control targe voltage V0 of resistance value of resistive film 47.
(main efficacy results of the manner)
It is as described above, in the magnet sensor arrangement 10 of the manner, if the temperature of magnetoresistive element 4 changes, temperature The resistance value of degree monitoring resistive film 47 changes, by monitoring temperature resistive film 47 and partial pressure electricity in bleeder circuit 80 The temperature detection voltage for hindering 84 partial pressures also changes.Therefore, as long as (the power control of switch element 83 for passing through power control Portion) control to be used to heating based on the C.T detection voltage in comparator 85 and comparative result obtained by control targe voltage V0 The energization of resistive film 48 (heater), it becomes possible to which the temperature of magnetoresistive element 4 is maintained into into the temperature of regulation.Therefore, magnetoresistive element 4 Testing result be difficult to be affected by environment temperature.
Also, in the manner, before magnet sensor arrangement 10 dispatches from the factory, carry out applying bleeder circuit 80 control of constant pressure Va Target voltage processed sets operation.In such control targe voltage setting operation, microcomputer 9 is based on to bleeder circuit 80 Apply constant pressure Va when environment temperature Ta (temperature of microcomputer 9), to bleeder circuit 80 apply constant pressure Va when temperature inspection The resistance value and monitoring temperature for surveying voltage and divider resistance 84 calculates temperature with the temperature coefficient α of the resistance value of resistive film 47 Monitoring resistive film 47 is changed into temperature detection voltage during preset temperature (for example, 70 DEG C), and by the meter of the temperature detection voltage Calculate result and be defined as control targe voltage V0, and be stored in memory 99.Then, after magnet sensor arrangement 10 dispatches from the factory, than Compared with device 85 by each magnet sensor arrangement 10 set appropriate control targe voltage V0 on the basis of controlling switch element 83 (power control portion).Therefore, even if the resistance value of the monitoring temperature resistive film 47 in each magnet sensor arrangement 10 has deviation, Also the temperature of magnetoresistive element 4 can suitably be controlled.Particularly in the manner, due to monitoring temperature resistive film 47 being used as Monitoring temperature resistive element, thus while resistance value is also easy to produce deviation, but as long as passing through the manner, it becomes possible to suitably control The temperature of magnetoresistive element 4.
Also, in the manner, because monitoring temperature resistive film 47 and magnetoresistive element 4 are formed at same device substrate 40, therefore, it is possible to suitably monitor the temperature of magnetoresistive element 4.Also, because the heating electric that will be formed in device substrate 40 hinders Film 48 is used as heater, therefore, it is possible to efficiently heat magnetoresistive element 4.
Temperature measuring section 97 of the microcomputer 9 with measuring environment temperature is additionally, since, even if therefore not using outside Thermometer, it is also possible to calculate control targe voltage V0.
Also, because device substrate 40 and microcomputer 9 are arranged on same circuit board 50, therefore, it is possible to prevent During setting control targe voltage V0, environment temperature produces big difference with the temperature of magnetoresistive element 4.
Also, because magnet sensor arrangement 10 has the magnet 20 with the opposed rotation of magnetoresistive element 4, it is thus possible to by sky Gas flows as magnet 20 rotates, and the heat for making heating electric resistance film 48 equably spreads all over magnetoresistive element 4.Therefore, it is possible to logical Cross the temperature that heating electric resistance film 48 accurately controls magnetoresistive element 4.
(another embodiment)
In the above-described embodiment, although before magnet sensor arrangement 10 dispatches from the factory, it is controlled target voltage setting operation To set control targe voltage V0, but it is also possible to after magnet sensor arrangement 10 dispatches from the factory, controlled in preassigned time point Target voltage processed sets operation to set control targe voltage V0.For example, it is also possible to the action in magnet sensor arrangement 10 stops Afterwards, it is controlled target voltage in the time point for making the action of magnet sensor arrangement 10 again and sets operation, so as to sets control targe Voltage V0.
(another other embodiment)
In the above-described embodiment, although as sensor device exemplified with magnet sensor arrangement 10, but it is also possible to incite somebody to action this Invention is applied to the other sensors device such as light sensor arrangement.
In the above-described embodiment, although used as monitoring temperature resistive element and heater and be formed at element The resistive film (monitoring temperature resistive film 47 and heating electric resistance film 48) of substrate 40, but it is also possible to using on circuit board 50 It is equiped with the structure of monitoring temperature resistive element and heater.
