DESIGN OF A POWER CONTROL UNIT DEDICATED TO GAS SENSORS BASED ON MICROHOTPLATE PLATFORM
Résumé
This paper deals with time drift problems of polysilicon resistors used as heater in gas sensors. Actually, this polysilicon heater is applied by a constant voltage, so its time drift about 20% of nominal value implies an equivalent variation of operating temperature. Then, this study presents a new design of power-control unit dedicated to force the same power on the heater resistor independently of its value and its time drift. Elaborated with two current mirrors, a multiplier and a proportional regulation system, this non optimized prototype allows good temperature stabilization with an error which doesn't exceed 3°C in the worst case.
