つので、ヒータ温度THと周囲温度Taの差DTは、 DT=(Ta−20)(K−1)+(K−1)/αH…(5) となる。ただし、K=(RR20・RA20)/(RH20・R
B20)、αA=αB、αH=αRである。αHは10-3の
桁であるから、式(5)の第1項はほとんど無視でき、
DTは一定となる。In FIG. 6, the output voltage of the operational amplifier 1 changes so that the voltages at the second node N2 and the third node N3 become equal. The heater resistance RH, the reference resistance RR, the first resistance RA, and the second resistance RB are the resistance values at 20 ° C. of RH 20 , RR 20 , and R, respectively.
A 20 , RB 20 and temperature coefficients αH, αR, α
If A, αB, the heater temperature is TH, and the ambient temperature is Ta and the resistance values are rH, rR, rA, and rB, respectively, then rH = RH 20 {1+ (TH-20) αH} (1) rR = RR 20 {1+ (Ta-20) αR} (2) rA = RA 20 {1+ (Ta-20) αA} (3) rB = RB 20 {1+ (Ta-20) αB} (4) It holds. Since rH · rB = rR · rA holds in the circuit stable state, the difference DT between the heater temperature TH and the ambient temperature Ta is DT = (Ta−20) (K−1) + (K−1) / αH ... (5 ). However, K = (RR 20・ RA 20 ) / (RH 20・ R
B 20 ), αA = αB, and αH = αR. Since αH is in the order of 10 −3 , the first term of equation (5) can be almost ignored,
DT is constant.

要となる。As described above, in the conventional heater control circuit, the difference DT between the heater temperature TH and the ambient temperature Ta is constant. For this reason, in a sensor for flow rate measurement in which an output is obtained by transfer of heat from the heater resistance RH, the output sensitivity of the sensor is determined by the flow path, so in order to measure a wide range of flow rate from low flow rate to high flow rate. Requires multiple sensors and channels.

スイッチのオンオフにより変えることができる。From the formula (5) described in the section of the related art, the heater temperature TH
The difference DT between the ambient temperature Ta and the ambient temperature Ta is a function of αH and K, and αH is a basic characteristic of the heater resistance. Therefore, the value of DT is changed by changing the value of K. K = (RR 20・ RA 20 ) / (RH
20 · RB 20 ), the value of K can be changed by changing the value of RA 20 , RB 20 , or RR 20 using a switch. This is shown in FIG. In Fig. 1, reference resistance
RR, the first resistor RA or the second resistor RB is a resistor group in which a plurality of series-connected bodies in which a switch and a resistor are connected in series are connected in parallel, thereby setting the value of K to the switch. It can be changed by turning on and off.

を広げる。FIG. 3 is a graph showing the relationship between the flow rate and the sensor output, that is, the output of the operational amplifier 1, when DT changes. If the DT values of the curves S1 to S5 are DT1 to DT5, then DT5>DT4>DT3> D
T2> DT1. As can be seen from the graph, when the DT value is high, the output sensitivity of the sensor is high, but when the flow rate increases, it is saturated immediately. Therefore, by changing the DT value according to the flow rate, the sensitivity of the sensor output is changed and the measurement range is expanded.
