Figure 2-3: Signal Processing Block Diagram


In the presence of oxygen the sensor generates a millivolt potential

which is fed to a voltage amplifier. The output from the sensor amplifier
is sent to an analog to digital converter (ADC), and the resulting digital
concentration signal is passed to the micro-controller. The ADC has a
second channel which monitors the temperature of the probe.
