A Radiation Resistant Bipolar Temperature Monitoring Circuit

Abstract

The invention provides an anti-radiation bipolar temperature monitoring circuit. The temperature monitoring circuit comprises a temperature sensor circuit, a positive feedback amplifying circuit and an amplifying output circuit; the temperature sensor circuit uses a NPN transistor to follow the reference voltage VREF of a bipolar voltage stabilizer, so that temperature sensing is achieved, and a signal is output to the positive feedback amplification circuit; the positive feedback amplification circuit amplifies the output signal of the temperature sensor circuit and outputs the amplified signal to the amplification output circuit; the amplification output circuit carries out sampling amplification on the output signal of the positive feedback amplifier and controls the output of a bipolarvoltage stabilizer output power transistor. When the junction temperature of a bipolar linear voltage stabilizer chip is higher than a safe working temperature, the bipolar voltage stabilizer outputpower transistor is turned off. The temperature monitoring circuit has the hysteresis characteristic, so that the linear voltage stabilizer is prevented from being frequently started at a temperatureclosing point; the function temperature of the chip cannot be sufficiently lowered.
