Abstract: In an electrochemical gas sensor (10), a first sensing element (21) is stored in a first storage portion (31). A moisture permeable film (24) is disposed in a first introduction inlet (31A) of the first storage portion (31). The moisture permeable film (24) substantially prevents a to-be-detected gas from permeating therethrough. A second sensing element (22) is disposed in a space into which water vapor and the to-be-detected gas contained in a target gas flow. In such a configuration, the electrochemical gas sensor (10) is capable of detecting a to-be-detected gas having a concentration of 0 or more and 1 ppm or less.

Abstract: An output buffer circuit is provided for maintaining the slew rate of output waveforms of the output signal within a predetermined range regardless of changes of load on the output terminal. Series-connected feedback delay circuits (11-14) delay an input signal (IN) on the basis of the potential of an output signal (OUT) obtained through a feedback path (L1). Delay time of each feedback delay circuit varies according to load on an output terminal (2). Delay signals from the feedback delay circuits (11-14) are applied to one inputs of high-output selecting NAND gates (G11-G14), respectively. The NAND gates (G11-G14) also receive the input signal (IN) at their other inputs and output signals to gates of high output transistors (QP1-QP4), respectively. At the rise of the input signal (IN), the high output transistors (QP1-QP4) output the output signal (OUT) in response to the delay signals from the feedback delay circuits (11-14).
