摘要: A transducer for producing a pulse duration modulated signal in accord with the value of a parameter. A reference capacitor-resistance circuit is provided having a predetermined rate of capacitor discharge and a second capacitor-resistance circuit is provided having a capacitor and a resistor, one of which is varied in accordance with the parameter to define a rate of capacitor discharge determined by the parameter. Each of the capacitors is periodically charged in unison to a predetermined voltage. Respective level detectors monitor the capacitor voltage charges and generate respective digital signals when the voltage charge monitored is greater than a predetermined reference below which each capacitor discharges during the time interval between charges. A logic circuit monitors the digital signals and produces a series of pulses having durations determined by the value of the parameter.

摘要: A method of making a zener diode having an accurately predetermined breakdown voltage. A discrete device and integrated circuit adaptation of this device is disclosed. A specially highly doped opposite conductivity type island is embedded in a high resistivity body portion. Embedded in the body portion contiguous the island is an ion implanted surface portion of the one conductivity type. The surface portion has an accurately predetermined concentration of conductivity determining impurity atoms in the range of about 1 .times. 10.sup.16 to 1 .times. 10.sup.19 atoms per cubic centimeter. A PN junction having a high breakdown voltage separates the island from the body. A PN junction having a lower but accurately predetermined breakdown voltage separates the island from the surface portion and forms a zener junction. In integrated circuit adaptations, this device preferably shares a transistor electrode for a transistor junction that is to be protected from overvoltage effects.

摘要: An apparatus comprises a sensor including a heater, an upstream detector and a downstream detector. An AC signal source excites the heater to generate propagating heat signals that are received by the upstream and downstream detectors. A first detecting circuit provides a first output signal responsive to the propagating heat signals received by the first detector and a second detecting circuit provides a second output signal responsive to the propagating heat signals received by the downstream detector. A difference circuit subtracts the first and second signals to obtain a difference signal and an output circuit provides an output signal responsive to the difference signal, which reflects both magnitude and phase. The resulting output signal has improved resolution and provides for improved sensor sensitivity.

摘要: An apparatus for providing a warning when the magnitude of a monitored parameter, such as vehicle fuel level, is within a critical range. A charge pump repeatedly charges a variable capacitor having a capacitance progressively changing with the magnitude of the monitored parameter and a reference capacitor having a capacitance equal to the capacitance of the variable capacitor when the magnitude of the monitored parameter is at the threshold of the critical range. After each charge, the two capacitors are discharged at a controlled rate with their voltage charge being monitored by threshold detectors, each of which provides an output when the voltage across the respective capacitor exceeds a specified level. The outputs of the threshold detectors are coupled to a logic circuit which compares the duration of the outputs of the threshold detectors and generates an output when the duration of the output from the level detector monitoring the reference capacitor varies from the time duration of the output from the level detector monitoring the reference capacitor in a sense representing a critical magnitude of the condition. An indicator is responsive to the output signal from the logic circuit for providing a warning of the critical magnitude of the condition.
