Fig. 3 shows the use flow process of the Temperature Detector of one embodiment of the invention.
Embodiment
Fig. 2 shows the Temperature Detector of one embodiment of the invention.First comparer 21 is used between 120 ℃ to 40 ℃, and its relative input voltage variation is 0.51 volt to 0.67 volt.Second comparer 22 is used between 40 ℃ to-40 ℃, and its relative input voltage variation is 0.67 volt to 0.82 volt.Described first comparer 21 and second comparer 22 can once compare by approximately per 64 μ s, and comparative result is sent to controller 28 via second multiplexer 23.Because described first comparer 21 and second comparer 22 are not to operate always, therefore described controller 28 can utilize the EN signal just to start described first comparer 21 and second comparer 22 when comparison.Open the beginning test value in the described controller 28, for example binary one 110000, represent 88 ℃.When starting, described controller 28 is by described first comparer 21 of SEL_n signal enabling and described second comparer 22 of stopping using, and the described corresponding electric resistance partial pressure Vres that opens selected described first multiplexer 26 of beginning test value, and with the output voltage of the electronic component of temperature change relatively.Described electronic component with temperature change for example uses a diode 25, and its threshold voltage (threshold voltage) can change with temperature, so its output voltage can change with temperature.Described diode 25 is connected to voltage source via current source 24.If described first comparer 21 compares Vres greater than Vdiode, so described controller 28 carried out next samsara with described opening after the beginning, test value successively decreased again.On the contrary, if described first comparer 21 compares Vres less than Vdiode, so described controller 28 carried out next samsara with described opening after the beginning, test value progressively increased again.The described action of progressively increasing or successively decreasing can be carried out via the counter (not shown) in the described controller 28.In the samsara process, described controller 28 also can compare described test value and whether a switching value (for example binary one 101101) equates, the representative of wherein said switching value corresponds to 40 ℃.Finding a described test value and a switching value when described controller 28 equates, described controller 28 just utilizes described second comparer 22 of SEL signal enabling and described first comparer 21 of stopping using, and the comparison of Vres afterwards and Vdiode is just undertaken by described second comparer 22.Present embodiment also can be undertaken by two above comparers, and its purpose is to reduce the input voltage mobility scale of indivedual comparers.Because the input voltage mobility scale of indivedual comparers diminishes, even if therefore operating voltage source diminishes, described first comparer 21 and second comparer 22 still are easy to design.In addition, utilize a plurality of comparers, can make the present invention contain wider temperature range, for example 180 ℃ to-60 ℃ not needing significantly to revise under the situation of control circuit.
