    摘要: We disclose herein a method for testing a batch of environmental sensors to determine the fitness for purpose of the batch of environmental sensors, the method comprising: performing a plurality of electrical test sequences to the sensor inputs of the batch of environmental sensors to measure electrical responses of the sensor outputs of the batch of environmental sensors; correlating the measured electrical responses from the batch of environmental sensors to predetermined environmental parametric ranges of at least one environmental sensor so as to define correlated electrical test limits; and determining the fitness for purpose of the batch of environmental sensors if the measured electrical responses are within the correlated electrical test limits.

    摘要: We disclose herein an environmental sensor system comprising an environmental sensor comprising a first heater and a second heater in which the first heater is configured to consume a lower power compared to the second heater. The system also comprises a controller coupled with the environmental sensor. The controller is configured to detect if a measured value of a targeted environmental parameter is present. The controller is configured to switch on at least one of the first and second heaters based on the presence and/or result of the measured value of the targeted environmental parameter.

    摘要: A circuit for measuring an unknown resistance of a resistive element comprises a sensor circuit to generate a differential voltage dependent on the resistance of the resistive element and a reference circuit to generate a differential reference voltage and a sigma-delta converter comprising a first stage, wherein a first capacitor is selectively coupled to one of the output terminals of the sensor circuit and a second capacitor is coupled to one of the output terminals of the reference circuit. The circuit generates logarithmically compressed values.
