The engine test stands used with advanced data-acquisition systems require a different type of pressure sensor than those used in the past. Engine hydraulics and pneumatics operate faster and often, ...

Piezoresistive (diaphragm-based) differential pressure sensors based on silicon comprise a thin silicon diaphragm in which resistors (connected together in a Wheatstone bridge) are lodged. If there is ...

Modern automotive systems use serial data transmissions to enable the rapid transfer of information. Single edge nibble transmission (SENT) bus, a serial data standard managed by SAE International, is ...

The basic function of a pressure sensor is straightforward. It gauges the force applied by a substance across each square inch of surface area and translates this physical measurement into an ...
