Abstract
In a large number of sensor principles, the physical or chemical property being analysed is converted into an electric current, a charge, a resistance or a capacitance, whereby in the last two cases an electric current or a charge needs to be measured. Especially ionization-based sensors such as photoionization detectors (PID) or flame ionization detectors (FID) generating currents ranging from femto- to nanoamperes. In all these cases, a current amplifier converting the electric current into a measurable voltage forms the link between the sensor and the rest of the measurement system.
