Pressure sensors: Why you should consider going digital We live in an analogue world. To give the electronic systems we design the ability to detect changes to what is around them we need analogue sensors. But the processing that sits behind those sensors is in almost every case going to be in the digital domain. In the penultimate installment of our pressure sensor series, Martin Keenan investigates the importance of digital data and why more and more applications are suited to sensors with built-in digital outputs over external analogue-digital conversion. |
