Abstract
An electrical interface circuit (200), for use with a zirconium dioxide sensor (202), includes an input differential amplifier (208) having its inverting input coupled to the circuit input (204) to receive a sensor voltage relative to sensor ground potential, and having its output coupled to the circuit output (210) to produce an output voltage relative to circuit ground potential. Additionally a feedback differential amplifier (214) has its inverting input coupled to the circuit output (210), its non-inverting input coupled to sensor ground potential, and its output coupled to the non-inverting input of the input differential amplifier (208) so that voltage change at the circuit input due to change of sensor ground potential relative to circuit ground potential is substantially cancelled.
