ABSTRACT:
In a method and with a circuit for operating a nitrogen oxide sensor for determining the nitrogen oxide (NOx) concentration in a gas mixture, in particular in post-treatment of an automotive exhaust, an electric pumping voltage (U_APE,IPE) which induces a pumping current (I_pump) being applied between an internal pump electrode (IPE) and an external pump electrode (APE) of a pumping cell, by which a constant oxygen partial pressure is established in a first test gas space by pumping oxygen in or out, the pumping voltage (U_APE,IPE) being regulated so that a constant voltage value is established at electrodes of a concentration cell, a NOx-sensitive third electrode situated in a second test gas space being operated as the second pumping cell in which a limit pumping current is established, indicating the NOx concentration, in order to minimize the influence of oxygen on the nitrogen oxide signal measured, the pumping current (I_pump) is switched off or reduced in a controlled manner within a measurement time window (T_Mess) and the NOx concentration is determined within the measurement time window (T_Mess).
