Pressure sensor with I²C communication – possibilities and boundary conditions
| Christian Wirl | Know-howI²C was designed to communicate over short distances between printed circuit boards and is a simple, 8-bit serial data bus. In the meantime, it is not only PCB-mountable pressure sensors that use the I²C signal for data transfer, but also pressure sensors remote from …
Anchor force measurement – a discipline that requires experience
| Matthias Winkel | Applications, Force, Know-howSomewhat less illuminated than the conventional application areas of force measurement, but no less important, is force measurement in the field of geotechnology. Here it depends, to a high degree, on know-how and experience. The term geotechnology combines …
Integration of a ceramic pressure sensor
| Christian Wirl | Know-howIn space- and price-critical applications, the ceramic pressure sensor offers a compact and cost-effective solution for implementing pressure measurement which is embedded in the customer's application. However, there are some details to consider when integrating the …
Sensor integration – notes on mechanics and EMC
| Christian Wirl | Know-howWhen integrating pressure sensors and pressure sensor modules, there are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to mechanics and EMC protection: Mechanics Depending on the installation situation and intended use of the sensor module, its design will differ; …
