2.9.3
Temperature
Detector
Circuit
When
the
power
switch
is off, battery
power
consumption
is minimized
by
optinizing the refresh
current according
to
ambient temperatures. The ambient temperature is sensed
by
a
thermistor
and fed
to
channel ANO
of
the A-O converter
which
detects the reference temperatures.

Operations
Fig.

shows
the temperature
detector
circuit, including the sensing section. The reference
voltage
(VRF)
is adjusted
to
+2.0V
by VR2. Thus, the potential
at
point
(A) is given
as
follows,
be-
cause
of
the voltage divider
circuit
consisting
of
R76 and
Rlll
:

The potential (A) is also applied
to
the voltage divider circuit consisting
of
R86 and the
thermistor
TH 1,
which
is the temperature sensor. The potential at the
junction
of
R86 and TH 1, VTH,
which
is supplied
to
channel ANO, is therefore represented by the
following
expression:
VTH = R (TH1)·
2.696
R86 + R (TH1)
where the
thermister
resistance R
(TH
1) has the
following
temperature characteristic:
R
(TH
1) =
56
K exp 4.3 (
0.27~2
+ t -
0.2~82
) [t:
DC]
As
the temperature rises, the
thermister
resistance decreases, causing the voltage supply
to
the
ANO channel (VTH)
to
be lowered.
