This shows that log resistance versus log concentration is linear. circuitry exacerbate these challenges and must be understood in order to account for or eliminate these effects.

  1. Heater Driver Circuits and Control

constant temperature) control of the heater.

6.1 Constant Voltage Drive

the temperature of the heater (and consequently gas sensitivity), voltage regulation is required. An easily implemented control circuit utilizes a three terminal voltage regulator, with the LM317 serving as an example as shown in Figure 5. Figure 5. Three Terminal Voltage Regulator three terminal voltage regulators is available from component manufacturers.

6.2 Constant Current Drive

and feedback control of the heater is possible through a simple measurement of the resultant voltage on the heater. well as the heater. Limiting the supply voltage to several hundred mV above the highest required drive voltage will help increase circuit efficiency. Figure 6. Voltage-Controlled Constant Current Circuit

6.3 Pulse-Width Modulation

sufficient testing at IDT to allow us to recommend it for any sensors in the SGAS family.  Voltage to the heater should not exceed the maximum voltage allowed for a given heater family.  A low-pass filter should be considered as part of the sensor signal circuit path to reduce noise from heater PWM.

6.4 Operating the Sensor at Temperature Extremes

Applications and Use Conditions The SGAS711 sensor is designed for gas leak detection and measurement of ppm levels of flammable gases. The sensor is not intended, recommended, or approved for use in safety or life-protecting applications or in potentially explosive environments. IDT disclaims all liability for such use. For sensor storage, IDT strongly recommends a dust and VOC free atmosphere, e.g. in synthetic air. 12.
