In the presence of oxygen the cell generates a current. A current to

voltage amplifier converts this current to a voltage, and then the voltage is
amplified in the second stage amplifier.

The second stage amplifier also supplies temperature compensation for

the oxygen sensor output. This amplifier circuit incorporates a thermistor,
which is physically located in the cell block. The thermistor is a temperature
