Current detection circuit for A/F sensor

摘要

A highly flexible current detection circuit for an A/F sensor, that can readily provide for a change to an A/F sensor having a difference characteristic. The A/F sensor current detection circuit of the invention comprises: an operational amplifier for generating a voltage to be applied to the A/F sensor; a current-measuring first resistor connected between the operational amplifier and the A/F sensor; voltage-dividing second and third resistors connected in series with each other with one end thereof connected between the operational amplifier and the first resistor; a first output terminal provided between the operational amplifier and the first resistor; a second output terminal provided between the first resistor and the A/F sensor; and a third output terminal provided between the voltage-dividing second and third resistors. When measuring the sensor element admittance with this circuit, the third output terminal is used in place of the first output terminal.
