Abstract
A compensation circuit for sensor lag uses a sensor temperature signal modification circuit to provide a modified sensor temperature signal for subsequent use in controlling the sensed temperature. The compensation circuit digitally compares a current sensor temperature representative signal and a sensor temperature signal at a last or preceeding sample time to produce a difference signal which is converted to a sensor slope signal and is multiplied by a sensor time constant. The resulting signal is passed through a filter to eliminate transient effects and is summed with the original sensor temperature signal to provide a sensed temperature signal for control of the temperature whereby the sensed temperature is a better estimate of the actual environmental temperature controlled by a thermostat utilizing the sensed temperature signal.
