Abstract: A circuit produces an output that is proportional to the molar density of gas in a chamber. The circuit employs an operational amplifier which measures the temperature using a RTD or other element that changes resistance with temperature. The RTD is placed such that it produces a decreasing current draw at the inverting input of the operational amplifier as the temperature increases. This decreasing current draw in turn produces a decreasing voltage at the output of the operational amplifier. By changing the ratio of resistors connected to the non-inverting terminal of the operational amplifier one changes the offset of the output voltage. By changing the feedback resistor connected from the output of the operational amplifier to the inverting terminal and connecting the output of the inverting terminal to a voltage divider including the RTD device, one can change the gain with temperature.

Abstract: A pressure sensor has a diaphragm with a first layer and a second layer, a pressure transmitting member being in contact with the second layer, and a sensing element. The diaphragm is deformable in response to a pressure applied on a front surface of the first layer. The transmitting member transmits this pressure to the sensing element. The sensing element detects the pressure. A heat applied to the diaphragm induces the layers to be shifted toward the transmitting member or the opposite side of the transmitting member due to a shape of the diaphragm. The layers of the diaphragm have thermal expansion coefficients differing from each other. A thermal deformation of the layers caused by the thermal expansion difference between the layers cancels out the thermal deformation of the layers originated in the shape of the diaphragm.
