Abstract
Circuits, systems and methods are provided that may be implemented using a corrosion sensor that employs a differential bridge circuit layout to detect corrosion events occurring to corrosion-sensitive components such as exposed electronic circuits. In one possible implementation, a detection circuit may be coupled to a corrosion coupon that includes the differential bridge circuit layout, and that is exposed to corrosive conditions such as ambient atmospheric conditions that contain contaminants (e.g., pollutants), humidity, particulates, etc.; as well as varying temperatures.
