    Abstract: A pressure sensor assembly for sensing a pressure of a process fluid includes a sensor body (56) having a cavity (132, 134) formed therein and first and second openings to the cavity configured to apply first and second pressures (PI, P2). A diaphragm (106) in the cavity separates the first opening from the second opening and is configured to deflect in response to a differential pressure between the first pressure and the second pressure. A capacitance based deformation sensor (59) is provided and configured to sense deformation of the sensor body in response to a line pressure applied to the sensor body.

    Abstract: A two-wire industrial process control transmitter includes a sensor, at least two integrated circuits, and a level shift circuit. The first integrated circuit contains the analog measurement circuit that includes a sensor detection circuit and the analog portion of a digital-to-analog convertor. The second integrated circuit contains the digital system circuit that includes a modem and the digital portion of the analog-to-digital convertor. The first and second ICs may be powered at different voltage levels to maximize the power of the analog circuit and improve resolution. Alternatively, the ICs may be powered at the same voltage level, but the digital circuits are divided among several stacked dies to minimize the voltage for each digital circuit. In either case, the level shifting circuit shifts the voltage level between the analog and digital circuits.
