Description
物理量に応じて抵抗値が変化する検出抵抗体と、前記検出抵抗体と比較される基準抵抗と、を備え、前記検出抵抗体の抵抗値の変化に基づいて前記物理量を計測するセンサ装置において、
前記基準抵抗は、抵抗温度係数が正である第1抵抗素子と抵抗温度係数が負である第2抵抗素子とを電気的に接続した第1抵抗回路と、抵抗温度係数が正である第3抵抗素子と抵抗温度係数が負である第4抵抗素子とを電気的に接続した第2抵抗回路と、を電気的に接続して構成され、
前記第1抵抗回路は、合成抵抗値が温度変化に対して正又は負のいずれかの側に第1のずれを生じるように構成され、
前記第2抵抗回路は、合成抵抗値が前記温度変化に対して、前記第1のずれが生じる正又は負のいずれかの側とは逆側に第2のずれを生じるように構成される。
図1に本実施例における気体濃度センサ装置のセンサ素子1の平面図を示す。
Rs=Rp(1+αp・T)+Rn(1−αn・T)
=(Rp+Rn)(1+(Rpαp−Rnαn)/(Rp+Rn)・T (1)
となる。式(1)において温度Tの係数をゼロにするためには、
Rp/Rn=αn/αp (2)
となり、抵抗Rpと抵抗Rnとの比を抵抗温度係数αn,αpに合わせて適切に設計することよって温度依存性を相殺する効果が得られる。
Rs=Rn1(1+αn・T)+Rp1(1−αp・T) (3)
となる。また、抵抗回路9における抵抗Rn2と抵抗Rp2との並列回路の合成抵抗Rcは、
Rc=1/(1/(Rn1(1+αn・T))+1/(Rp1(1−αp・T))) (4)
となる。本実施例の抵抗回路9は上記の直列回路Rsと並列回路Rcとを接続したものである。
本発明に係るセンサ素子の基準抵抗の他の実施例を説明する。
図11に、ピエゾ抵抗変化を低減した基準抵抗のその他の具体例を示す。
