Abstract
A household appliance apparatus, in particular a cooktop apparatus, includes a temperature sensor unit which includes a photodiode designed to detect incident infrared radiation and to convert the incident infrared radiation into a measurement signal. The measurement signal is amplified by an amplifier of an amplifier unit. A compensation unit at least partially compensates for a temperature influence as the infrared radiation is converted into the measurement signal and/or the measurement signal is amplified.

1-15. (canceled)
A household appliance apparatus, in particular a cooktop apparatus, comprising:
- a temperature sensor unit comprising a photodiode designed to detect incident infrared radiation and to convert the incident infrared radiation into a measurement signal;
- an amplifier unit comprising an amplifier designed to amplify the measurement signal;
- and
- a compensation unit designed to at least partially compensate for a temperature influence as the infrared radiation is converted into the measurement signal and/or the measurement signal is amplified.
A household appliance, in particular a cooktop, the household appliance comprising a household appliance apparatus which includes a temperature sensor unit comprising a photodiode designed to detect incident infrared radiation and to convert the incident infrared radiation into a measurement signal, an amplifier unit comprising an amplifier designed to amplify the measurement signal, and a compensation unit designed to at least partially compensate for a temperature influence as the infrared radiation is converted into the measurement signal and/or the measurement signal is amplified.
A method for operating a household appliance apparatus, in particular a cooktop apparatus, the method comprising:
- detecting incident infrared radiation and converting the incident infrared radiation into a measurement signal by a photodiode of a temperature sensor unit;
- amplifying the measurement signal with an amplifier of an amplifier unit;
- and
- at least partially compensating with a compensation unit a temperature influence as the infrared radiation is converted into the measurement signal and/or the measurement signal is amplified.
