  • Publication number: 20230396237
    Abstract: A circuit device includes a control circuit configured to control a transistor current based on a detected temperature. The detected temperature is a temperature detected by a temperature sensor circuit that detects a temperature of a transistor. The transistor charges a load to which a power supply voltage is supplied. The transistor current is a current flowing through the transistor during charging. The control circuit reduces the transistor current when the detected temperature is higher than a first threshold value, and increases the transistor current when the detected temperature is lower than a second threshold value lower than the first threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20220384294
    Abstract: An integrated circuit device includes a heating element, and a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of the heating element. An outer shape of the integrated circuit device has a first side and a second side intersecting the first side, and when a direction along the first side of the integrated circuit device is set as an X direction and a direction along the second side is set as a Y direction, the heating element includes a first heating element, and a second heating element arranged adjacent to the first heating element along the Y direction with a region AR interposed therebetween. The temperature sensor is arranged at an arrangement position where a position in the X direction is a position between a center of the region AR and the second side, and a position in the Y direction is a position between the first heating element and the second heating element.

  • Publication number: 20180014742
    Abstract: A biological information measuring device includes a biological information detection unit, a control unit, and a casing. The biological information detection unit includes a first surface-side electrode having electrodes which can come into contact with the user, a second surface-side electrode having electrodes which are exposed on a second surface and come into contact with the user, and an electrocardiographic detection unit. At least one of the first surface-side electrode and the second surface-side electrode has a plurality of electrodes. The control unit sets one electrode of the first surface-side electrode and one electrode of the second surface-side electrode as working electrodes, sets, as a reference electrode, one of the electrodes that are not set as the working electrodes, and causes the electrocardiographic detection unit to measure an electrocardiogram of the user, based on a current detected with the working electrodes.

  • Publication number: 20160007916
    Abstract: A biological information detecting device includes a first light reception unit which receives light from a subject, a second light reception unit which receives light from the subject, at least one light emission unit which emits light to the subject, and a processing unit. When a distance between the light emission unit and the first light reception unit is L1, and a distance between the light emission unit and the second light reception unit is L2, L1<L2 is satisfied. The processing unit determines an active state of the subject on the basis of a first detection signal detected by the first light reception unit and a second detection signal detected by the second light reception unit, and controls the biological information detecting device according to the active state.
