    Abstract: A comparison circuit includes a preliminary amplification circuit that amplifies a voltage difference between a first input voltage and a second input voltage and a latch circuit that compares magnitudes of the first input voltage and the second input voltage according to the amplified voltage difference and latch a comparison result. The preliminary amplification circuit converts the first input voltage and the second input voltage input with the falling edge timing of a clock signal into a first control signal and a second control signal, respectively that return from the reversal state at respective speeds corresponding to the first input voltage and the second input voltage. The latch circuit compares the first input voltage and the second input voltage according to the first control signal and the second control signal.

    Abstract: A sensor device includes an A/D converter including an adder that computes a difference between an analog input signal and a predicted value, the adder includes a capacitive adder defined by a series circuit including a capacitive charge output device and a capacitor. A capacitive component in the charge output device defines a portion of the capacitance of the capacitive adder. A digital prediction filter generates the predicted value based on an output from a quantizer. The capacitive adder computes the difference between the analog input signal from the charge output device and the predicted value. The quantizer quantizes and encodes the difference. The A/D converter performs a Δ modulation on the analog input signal which is converted into a digital signal.

    Abstract: A sensor device includes a bridge circuit, a bias circuit, and a detection signal receiving circuit. The bridge circuit includes four sensor elements connected in a bridge. The bias circuit includes an oscillation circuit and an averaging circuit. The oscillation circuit outputs an oscillation signal, in which an output voltage in a first output state and an output voltage in a second output state with temperature dependency repeat alternately at a predetermined ratio. The averaging circuit averages the output voltage of the oscillation circuit and applies the averaged output voltage as a bias voltage to a bias end of the bridge circuit. By applying this voltage, the bias circuit excites the bridge circuit and compensates for a temperature characteristic of the sensitivity by offsetting a temperature fluctuation due to a temperature change in its sensitivity.

    Abstract: In a sensor device, a bias circuit includes a bias voltage generation circuit, a regulator circuit, an impedance calculation circuit, and a bias voltage correction circuit. The bias voltage generation circuit generates a bias voltage required to operate the bridge circuit. The regulator circuit applies the bias voltage to the bridge circuit and monitors a bias current supplied to the bridge circuit. The impedance calculation circuit receives a value of the bias voltage and a value of the bias current and calculates an impedance of the bridge circuit. Based on the impedance, the bias voltage correction circuit causes the bias voltage to be corrected to a voltage that compensates for a change in characteristics of the bridge circuit.

    Abstract: An ultrasonic sensor is provided in which, after output of an excitation signal from a transmission circuit to a drive electrode is stopped, when a suppression control signal subjected to signal amplification by a band variable calculation amplifier is supplied from a reverberant vibration suppression circuit to the drive electrode, reverberant vibration of a piezoelectric body is reduced or prevented in a reverberation suppression time period. In a reception time period after output of the suppression control signal to the drive electrode is stopped, a signal amplification frequency band of the band variable calculation amplifier is varied by a control circuit, and a signal amplification factor of the band variable calculation amplifier in a frequency band of high-frequency noise that occurs within the band variable calculation amplifier is reduced.
