Figure 29. 3-Lead Amperometric Cell
2-lead Galvanic Cell In Ground Referred Configuration
When the LMP91000 is interfaced to a galvanic cell (for instance to an Oxygen gas sensor) referred to the
ground of the system, an external resistor needs to be placed in parallel to the gas sensor; the negative
electrode of the gas sensor is connected to the ground of the system and the positive electrode to the Vref pin of
the LMP91000, the working pin of the LMP91000 is connected to the ground.
The LMP91000 is then configured in 2-lead galvanic cell mode and the Vref bypass feature needs to be enabled.
In this configuration the Control Amplifier (A1) is turned off, and the output of the gas sensor is amplified by the
Transimpedance Amplifier (TIA) which is configured as a simple non-inverting amplifier.
The gain of this non inverting amplifier is set according the following formula
Gain= 1+(R

If different gains are required, an external resistor can be connected between the pins C1 and C2. In this case
the internal feedback resistor should be programmed to “external”.
