Abstract:
Apparatus and associated methods relate to generating redundant measurement of pseudo differential pressure using two absolute-pressure sensors, each exposed to a different environment. Each of the two absolute-pressure sensors has complementary first and second output nodes. The first output node has a positive relation with and/or response to increasing pressure, while the second output node has a negative relation with and/or response to increasing pressure. A first difference measurement signal is calculated based on a difference between the positive relation output signals of the first and second absolute-pressure sensors. A second difference measurement signal is calculated based on a difference between the negative relation output signals of the first and second absolute-pressure sensors. Both the first and second difference measurement signals are indicative of a pressure difference between the first and second environments. Such redundant measurement of differential pressure can advantageously provide continuous pressure-difference measurement in spite of various component failures.
