  • Patent number: 3978418
    Abstract: A low frequency electro-thermal filter includes a pair of thermally coupled transistorized differential amplifiers. One of the differential amplifiers comprises a pair of heater transistors and the other differential amplifier includes a pair of sensor transistors, each heater transistor and its associated sensor transistor being fabricated on a single semiconductor chip. The heater transistors in the first differential amplifier serve differentially to heat the sensor transistors in the second differential amplifier in response to an input signal. The differential heating of the second differential amplifier differentially affects the electrical parameters of the sensor transistors and tends to upset the current balance between the stages of the second differential amplifier. A feedback loop is provided around the second differential amplifier for reestablishing the current balance thereof.
