Abstract

See full text

A sensor fault detection circuit includes: a first amplifier circuit that includes a first pair of elements operating reversely to each other, and amplifies a first sensor signal input from a first voltage amplifier; a second amplifier circuit that includes a second pair of elements operating reversely to each other, and amplifies a second sensor signal input from the second voltage amplifier; and a fault diagnosis unit that detects abnormality of a first voltage signal or a second voltage signal based on the first voltage signal output from the first amplifier circuit and the second voltage signal output from the second amplifier circuit. Characteristics of the first pair of elements are asymmetrical to each other, and characteristics of the second pair of elements are asymmetrical to each other in a same relationship with a relationship of the asymmetry between the characteristics of the first pair of elements.
