Abstract

A hot wire type air flowmeter has a drive circuit for controlling the temperature of a hot wire type resistor and for outputting indications of controlling states as electric signals, an output adjusting circuit for adjusting the electric signals output from the drive circuit, and a subtracter provided in the output adjusting circuit of the hot wire type air flowmeter. The electric signals output from a non-inverting amplifier in the drive circuit are input to one input terminal of the subtracter and a standard voltage supplied via a voltage follower are input to the other input terminal of the subtracter.
