Circuit for a combustible gas sensor

A circuit for a combustible gas sensor comprising: a bridge circuit having first and second legs; a first node at a first midpoint in the first leg of the bridge circuit; a second node at a second midpoint in the second leg of the bridge circuit;

a first temperature responsive resistive sensor element coupled between the first node and a bottom of the bridge circuit and located in a flow of combustible gas;

a second temperature responsive resistive sensor element coupled between the bottom of the bridge and ground and located in the flow of combustible gas;

and a voltage control circuit coupled to the first and second nodes and to the top of the bridge circuit for maintaining closed loop control of first and second node voltages at the first and second nodes by varying a bridge voltage at the top of the bridge circuit wherein one of the first and second sensor elements includes a catalyst for stimulating reactions of reactive constituents in the flow of combustible gas.
