ABSTRACT:
A current controlled electronic circuit for a hot wire air flow meter having a symmetrical bridge circuit to measure the mass of the airflow. The present current bridge arrangement requires very few adjustments to select a few resistors for obtaining a required temperature differential and compensation for variations in the temperature coefficient of resistance of both the heated and cold resistors. This is accomplished by placing of a voltage divider in parallel with the sensing leg and a first amplifier responding to the voltage divider and the sensing let to control the current in the compensation leg. A second amplifier responds to the compensation leg for controlling the power to the sensing leg.
