Description of the Related Art Recently, infrared ray detection with high response speed has been demanded, and in order to meet this demand, development of a circuit for a current mode type pyroelectric sensor is desired. As a circuit for this type of pyroelectric sensor, a circuit as shown in FIG. 2 has been conventionally known. In the structure shown in the figure, one end of the pyroelectric element S1 is connected to the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier 4, and the feedback resistor 3 is connected between the output terminal of the operational amplifier 4 and the inverting input terminal. The other end of the pyroelectric element S1 and the operational amplifier 4
The non-inverting input terminal side of the bias voltage resistor R a, are added via a R b by the power supply V CC and V SS. In the figure, the pyroelectric element S1 spontaneously polarizes according to the amount of received infrared rays, and generates a pyroelectric current. The pyroelectric current generated in the pyroelectric element S1 is converted into a voltage by the feedback resistor R f and applied to the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier 1 as a focal voltage, and the operational amplifier 1 amplifies the voltage and outputs an infrared detection signal. . At this time, the amplification factor of the operational amplifier 1 is the feedback resistor 3
The resistance value R f is divided by the internal resistance value r of the pyroelectric element S1 to obtain a value R f / r.

いという問題があった。However, the internal resistance value r of the pyroelectric element S1 is extremely large.
Since it is about 9 to 10 10 Ω, and the pyroelectric current generated in the pyroelectric element S1 has a very small value, the voltage output from the operational amplifier 4 is set to a magnitude that does not interfere with signal processing in the subsequent stage, and
In order to increase the amplification factor R f / r of the operational amplifier 4, it is necessary to set the resistance value R f of the feedback resistor 3 to a large resistance value of 10 9 to 10 11 Ω. On the other hand, it is very difficult to accurately manufacture such a resistor having a large resistance value, and an error of about ± 20% occurs with respect to the resistance value. Therefore, the amplification factor R f / r of the operational amplifier 4 cannot be set as designed,
The amplification factor varies from pyroelectric sensor to pyroelectric element S1.
There is a problem in that the amplification factor cannot be freely set because the internal resistance value r is restricted.

であった。The sensitivity of the pyroelectric sensor is proportional to the resistance value of the feedback resistor 3, while the response speed of the pyroelectric sensor is inverse to the resistance value of the feedback resistor 3. Since it is proportional, it is very difficult to provide a circuit for a pyroelectric sensor that satisfies both the sensitivity and the response speed of the pyroelectric sensor, such that the response speed becomes slower if the sensitivity of the pyroelectric sensor is increased.

That is, the present invention is a circuit for a current mode type pyroelectric sensor which converts an output current signal of a pyroelectric element into a voltage signal, amplifies and outputs the voltage signal by an operational amplifier, wherein an external resistor is provided at an inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier. A feedback resistor is connected between the output terminal and the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier,
The output terminal of the pyroelectric element is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier, and the voltage conversion that converts the output current signal of the pyroelectric element into a voltage signal is provided between the output terminal of the pyroelectric element and the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier. It is configured such that one end side of the resistor is connected.

もって増幅されて、オペアンプの出力端より出力する。The output current signal generated from the pyroelectric element that receives and polarizes infrared rays is converted into a voltage by the voltage conversion resistor and applied as a converted voltage to the non-inverting input terminal side of the operational amplifier. This converted voltage is amplified by the amplification factor of the operational amplifier, that is, the value obtained by dividing the resistance value of the feedback resistor by the resistance value of the external resistor, and output from the output terminal of the operational amplifier.

Since it does not depend on the internal resistance of the pyroelectric element, the resistance value of the feedback resistor can be suppressed low, and the amplification factor of the operational amplifier can be freely set.

Is polarized to generate a pyroelectric current, which is converted into a voltage by the voltage conversion resistor 2 and applied as a converted voltage to the non-inverting input terminal side of the operational amplifier 4.

できる。According to the present embodiment, the amplification factor R f / R 1 of the operational amplifier 4 does not depend on the large internal resistance value r of the pyroelectric element S1 as in the conventional case, but rather the feedback resistor 3 and the externally attached element. Since it is determined only by the ratio of each resistance value to the resistor 1, the amplification factor R f / R 1 of the operational amplifier 4 can be freely set to a large value, and the resistance value of the feedback resistor 3 is also set.
It can be kept as low as 10 5 Ω. The feedback resistor 3 having such a general-purpose resistance value is ± 0.1% of the resistance value.
Since it is manufactured with high accuracy within the range, the amplification factor of the operational amplifier 4 can be set to a constant value without variation among the sensors.

ンサの感度を上げることができる。Further, the sensitivity of the pyroelectric sensor depends on the feedback resistor 3, but the amplification factor of the operational amplifier 4 can be increased even if the feedback resistor 3 has a much lower resistance value than the conventional example. It is possible to increase the sensitivity of the sensor by outputting a high voltage.

により応答速度を速めることができる。Further, since the response speed of the pyroelectric sensor has hitherto been dependent on the feedback resistor 3 having a large resistance value, it was not possible to provide the one having a high response speed, but in this embodiment,
Since the response speed is regulated by the resistance value of the voltage conversion resistor 2, the response speed can be increased by setting the voltage conversion resistor 2 so low that the output from the operational amplifier 4 does not interfere with signal processing in the subsequent stage. .

アンプの増幅率を自由に設定できる。According to the present invention, since the external resistor is connected to the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier and the feedback resistor is connected between the output terminal of the operational amplifier and the inverting input terminal, the amplification factor of the operational amplifier is equal to that of the feedback resistor. It is the value obtained by dividing the resistance value by the resistance value of the external resistor, and the amplification factor of the operational amplifier can be set freely regardless of the pyroelectric element, without being restricted by the large internal resistance of the pyroelectric element as in the past. .

サ毎のばらつきもなくなる。Further, conventionally, the amplification factor of the operational amplifier is obtained by dividing the resistance value of the feedback resistor by the large internal resistance of the pyroelectric element, so that the resistance value of the feedback resistor is 10 9 to 10 11 Ω.
However, in the present invention, the amplification factor of the operational amplifier is determined by the ratio of the external resistor that is not the pyroelectric element and the feedback resistor. It is not necessary to set the value to a value, and by setting the resistance value of the feedback resistor to a low general value, the feedback resistor can be manufactured with high precision, and the amplification factor of the operational amplifier can be set accurately and freely. Variations among sensors are also eliminated.

ことができる。Furthermore, since the output current signal of the pyroelectric element is converted into a voltage by the voltage conversion resistor and applied to the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier, the output from the operational amplifier does not interfere with signal processing in the subsequent stage. By setting the resistance value of the voltage conversion resistor to be low, the response speed can be increased.
