TEMPERATURE CONTROL CIRCUIT WITH ZERO AVERAGE TEMPERATURE OFFSET ERROR

A temperature sensing circuit generates a voltage proportional to the difference between a controlled temperature and a predetermined reference temperature. The voltage is integrated in an integrating amplifier whereby average temperature offset error is reduced to zero. The integrated voltage is co...

Zusammenfassung:A temperature sensing circuit generates a voltage proportional to the difference between a controlled temperature and a predetermined reference temperature. The voltage is integrated in an integrating amplifier whereby average temperature offset error is reduced to zero. The integrated voltage is compared to a reference potential in a comparator to generate a control signal when the integrated voltage exceeds the reference potential. The control signal operates a switching device through which electrical power is conducted to a heater whereby the controlled temperature is established.
