  • Patent number: 8992080
    Abstract: A temperature detection device includes a diode and an analog-digital converter. An output voltage signal of the diode is applicable to an input of the analog-digital converter. The temperature detection device is adapted for the purpose of coupling a reference voltage of the analog-digital converter and the diode current of the diode such that effects of variations of the reference voltage or the diode current on the digital output signal of the analog-digital converter are partially or completely suppressed.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbH
    Inventors: Polichronis Lepidis, Uwe Schiller
  • Patent number: 8621932
    Abstract: A pressure measuring device includes a pressure sensor element and an analog-digital converter. An output signal voltage of the pressure sensor element is a function of a temperature and is applied as an input voltage to an input of the analog-digital converter. The analog-digital converter is adapted to convert any input voltage from input voltage ranges which vary with a temperature into a digital value representing the input voltage.

  • Patent number: 7564338
    Abstract: A micromechanical device having a micromechanical component and a heating element and a method for controlling and/or regulating the heating element. In this context, the heating element is used to bring the micromechanical component, which preferably has electrical components, and/or a passivator surrounding the micromechanical component to a specifiable temperature.

  • Publication number: 20070279845
    Abstract: The present invention describes a device having a housing and at least one electrical component, the housing having at least one of the electrical components and being filled at least partially by a passivating agent. Furthermore, it is provided that the electrical component is covered at least partially by the passivating agent. Now, the crux of the present invention is that an additional material layer is applied on top of the passivating agent. Using this additional material layer, a device is able to be implemented in a simple and cost-effective construction, that is resistive to environmental damages. This makes possible using electrical components in corrosive environments.
