Zusammenfassung: | PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a temperature voltage sensor that enables highly accurate measurement of temperature and also enables measurement of successively changing power source voltage.SOLUTION: A temperature voltage sensor comprises: ring oscillators 2a, 2b different in temperature characteristic of oscillatory frequency; a reference frequency supply part 1 that supplies a reference clock signal f0; a frequency counter 32 that generates frequency count data corresponding to oscillatory frequency; a coefficient storage part 34 storing the coefficients of two-dimensional high-order polynominal approximations (f1(T, V), f2(T, V)) of two (T, V)s calculated from data obtained by measuring the respective oscillatory frequencies (f1, f2) of ring oscillators 2a, 2b for frequency count data (F1, F2) by changing temperature T and power source voltage V; and a temperature voltage conversion part 33 that obtains through operation at least one of temperature T and power source voltage V from the secondary coalition equation form of the two ring oscillators 2a, 2b having temperature T and power source voltage V as unknown numbers. Newton Raphson method is used for the solution of the secondary coalition equation form.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
【課題】精度の高い温度測定が可能であり、また、逐次変動する電源電圧の測定も行うことができる温度電圧センサを提供する。【解決手段】発振周波数の温度特性が異なるリングオシレータ2a、2bと、基準クロック信号f0を供給する基準周波数供給部1と、発振周波数に対応する周波数カウントデータを生成する周波数カウンタ32と、周波数カウントデータ(F1、F2)に対して予め各リングオシレータ2a、2bの発振周波数(f1、f2)を温度T、電源電圧Vを変えて測定したデータから計算で求めた2つのT、Vの2元の高次多項式近似式(f1(T、V)、f2(T、V))の係数を記憶する係数記憶部34と、温度T、電源電圧Vを未知数とする2つのリングオシレータ2a、2bの2元連立方程式から温度T及び電源電圧Vの少なくとも一方を演算により求める温度電圧変換部33とを有する。連立2元方程式の解法はニュートン−ラフソン法を用いる。【選択図】図1 |
