さくなる。Next, the operation will be explained. First, the resistance value of the thermistor TH attached to a temperature measurement target (not shown) changes due to temperature changes. This resistance change is converted into a voltage by a resistor R1 and a series resistor R2 connected in parallel to the thermistor TH via terminals A and C. Therefore, the output voltage Vo obtained at terminal B is the resistance R
If the current flowing through 2 is I, Vp is the positive power supply voltage, and the resistance value of thermistor TH is RT, then the output voltage Vo is
Vo =Vp-[{R1×RT/(R1+RT)}+R

Here, RZ is R1×RT/(R1+RT). Furthermore, the above current I is determined by the base voltage Vb of the transistor TR1 of the constant current circuit, the base-emitter voltage Vbe, and the resistor R4, and I=(Vb - Vn - Vbe).

When the resistance value RT of terminal B changes depending on the temperature change,
A voltage output corresponding to the change can be obtained. That is, when the temperature detected by the thermistor TH increases, the output voltage Vo increases, and when it decreases, the output voltage Vo decreases.

First, when the temperature of the object to be measured changes, the output voltage Vo and the current I flowing through the resistor R2 are the same as in the conventional case, and at this time, the voltage Vb applied to the base of the transistor TR1.

There is a relationship of 3.
【0010】また、電源電圧の変動は、正側の電源電圧

ば、変化分ΔVp は0に近づき、出力電圧Vo の変
動を小さく抑えることができる。Furthermore, fluctuations in the power supply voltage have different effects on the output voltage Vo for the positive power supply voltage Vp and the negative power supply voltage Vn. In other words, when the positive side power supply voltage Vp fluctuates, the change is expressed as ΔVp.
Then, the change ΔVo in the output voltage Vo is ΔVo
=ΔVP [1-{(RZ+R2)/R4}×{R6/
(R5+R6)}]. Therefore, if the thermistor TH is used near (RZ+R2)/R4≒1, the amplifier gain G is 2, and the voltage division ratio is R6/(R5+R6)=1/2, the variation ΔVp approaches 0, and the output voltage Vo fluctuations can be suppressed to a small level.

変化分ΔIは計算上0にでき、結局、出力電圧Vo の
変動を小さく抑えたり、なくすることができる。Further, when the negative side power supply voltage V changes, only the constant current I in the above equation changes. Therefore, the change ΔI in the constant current I is calculated as follows: ΔI = (-ΔVb - ΔVn ) / ΔVn = [-Δ
Vn×{R6/(R5+R6)}×G]−ΔVn/
It becomes R4. Therefore, as above, the partial pressure ratio is set to R6/(R5
+R6)=1/2 and the amplifier gain is G, the change in current ΔI can be calculated to be 0, and as a result, the fluctuation in the output voltage Vo can be suppressed or eliminated.
