Abstract:
A sensor device includes: a first sensor element; a second sensor element; and a processing chip that includes a semiconductor substrate, a first processor that receives a first detection signal and processes the first detection signal, a second processor that receives the second detection signal and processes the second detection signal, and an isolation portion that electrically isolates the first processor the second processor. The first processor includes a first diagnosis unit that self-diagnoses a presence or absence of a failure. The second processor includes a second diagnosis unit that self-diagnoses a presence or absence of a failure. The processing chip identifiably outputs a first output of the first processor and a second output of the second processor.
