Abstract
An input processing circuit for an air flow sensor comprising a differential amplifier connected through two lines to an air flow sensor and having an operational amplifier an output signal from the air flow sensor and sends a result of this processing to an analogue value - digital value conversion integrated circuit. An output signal from the air flow sensor is supplied to the differential amplifier through a filter circuit so as to prevent an occurrence of error in measuring the amount of sucked air for an internal combustion engine due to various noises. A connection of an inverting input terminal end of the differential amplifier to a ground through a resistor prevents an error caused by a breakage of a reference voltage line connected between the air flow sensor and the input processing circuit. A differential input amplifier circuit also prevents an error caused by a variation in potential resulting from consumption current of an air flow sensor or the like from being generated.
