Abstract: A sensor interface operates to communicate a sensed quantity along one or more processing pathways and in different data representations. The signal representations can be swapped along one or more locations of the signal processing branches. These branches are independent from one another and combined at an interface component for transmission along a single path or node for a control unit.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to an indirect tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) and methods that utilize anti-lock braking system (ABS) sensed signals coupled to circuitry and/or controllers to process the sensed signals using a multidimensional resonance frequency analysis (MRFA) technique. In some embodiments, additional information from other sensed signals or stored data settings for non-tire variables and parameters can be incorporated into the MRFA. Thus, in an embodiment an indirect TPMS comprises at least one signal from an ABS, such as a wheel speed signal, and an electronic control unit (ECU) that processes the at least one signal from the ABS using at least one MRFA technique. Unlike conventional MRFA approaches that look for a single resonance frequency, the MRFA of embodiments uses a spectral analysis of tire vibrations as determined from the sensed ABS signals over different points in the spectrum that can reflect different vibration modes and different corresponding resonance frequencies.

Abstract: A receiver for receiving messages from a transmitter includes a controller and a driver stage for providing a supply voltage to the transmitter based on a control signal. The controller is configured to provide the control signal to compensate for changes of the supply voltage caused by a modulation of the current consumption of the transmitter, such that the supply voltage remains in a predefined range. Furthermore, the controller is configured to evaluate a series of succeeding values of the control signal to derive a message generated by the transmitter by modulating its current consumption.

A type of the second set of sensing elements is different from a type of the first set of sensing elements. The angle sensor may include a safety path to perform a set of safety checks, the set of safety checks including a first vector length check associated with the first angle measurement path and a second vector length check associated with the second angle measurement path. The angle sensor may include an output component to provide an indication of a result of the set of safety checks.

Abstract: In some implementations, an angle sensor may receive a first x-component value and a first y-component value from a first set sensing elements and a second x-component value and a second y-component value from a second set of angle sensing elements. The angle sensor may perform a safety check including determining a first range of angles associated with a target object based on a relationship between a magnitude of the first x-component value and a magnitude of the first y-component value; determining a second range of angles associated with the target object based on a relationship between a magnitude of the second x-component value and a magnitude of the second y-component value; and determining whether the second range of angles is a subset of the first range of angles. The angle sensor may output an indication of a result of the safety check.

Abstract: The described techniques facilitate the secure transmission of sensor measurement data to an ECU by implementing an authentication procedure. The authentication procedure includes an integrated circuit (IC) generating authentication tags by encrypting portions of sensor measurement data. These authentication tags are then transmitted together with the sensor measurement data as authenticated sensor measurement data. The ECU may then use the authentication tags to authenticate the sensor measurement data based upon a comparison of the portions of the sensor measurement data sensor measurement data to the authentication tag that is expected to be generated for those portions of sensor measurement data.
