(1) Structure of Absolute Humidity Sensor

  The absolute humidity sensor includes two thermistors 

as shown in the illustration. One thermistor is housed in 

the closed vessel filled with dry air while another in the 

open vessel. Each sensor is provided with the protective 

cover  made  of  metal  mesh  to  be  protected  from  the 

external airflow.

(2) Operational Principle of Absolute Humidity Sensor

  The  figure  below  shows  the  basic  structure  of  an 

absolute humidity sensor. A bridge circuit is formed by 

two thermistors and two resistors (R1 and  R2).

  The output of the bridge circuit is to be amplified by the 

operational amplifier.

  Each thermistor is supplied with a current to keep it heated 

at about 150

ο

C (302

ο

F), the resultant heat is dissipated 

in the air and if the two thermistors are placed in different 

humidity conditions they show different degrees of heat 

conductivity leading to a potential difference between 

them causing an output voltage from the bridge circuit, the 

intensity of which is increased as the absolute humidity 

of the air increases.  Since the output is very minute, it 

is amplified by the operational amplifier.

(3) Detector  Circuit  of  Absolute  Humidity  Sensor 

Circuit

  This detector circuit is used to detect the output voltage 

of  the  absolute  humidity  circuit  to  allow  the  LSI  to 

control sensor cooking of the unit.  When the unit is set 

in the sensor cooking mode, 16 seconds clearing cycle 

ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY SENSOR CIRCUIT

occurs than the detector circuit starts to function and 

the LSI observes the initial voltage available at its AN6 

terminal.

  With  this  voltage  given,  the  switches  SW1  to  SW5  in 

the LSI are turned on in such a way as to change the 

resistance values in  parallel with R50-1.  Changing the 

resistance values results in that there is the same potential 

at both F-3 terminal of the absolute humidity sensor and 

AN7 terminal of the LSI.  The voltage of AN6 terminal 

will  indicate  about  -2.5V.   This  initial  balancing  is  set 

up about 16 seconds after the unit is put in the Sensor 

Cooking mode.  As the sensor cooking proceeds, the food 

is heated to generate moisture by which the resistance 

balance of the bridge circuit is deviated to increase the 

voltage available at AN6 terminal of the LSI.

  Then the LSI observes that voltage at AN6 terminal and 

compares it with its initial value, and when the comparison 

rate reaches the preset value (fixed for each menu to 

be  cooked),  the  LSI  causes  the  unit  to  stop  sensor 

cooking; thereafter, the unit goes in the next operation 

automatically.

  When the LSI starts to detect the initial voltage at AN6 

terminal 16 seconds after the unit has been put in the 

Sensor Cooking mode, if it is not possible to balance, of 

the bridge circuit due to disconnection of the absolute 

humidity sensor, ERROR will appear on the display and 

the cooking is stopped.
