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: A magnetic sensor, may sense a first magnetic field component corresponding to a first axis of a magnetic field produced by a magnet. The magnetic sensor may sense a second magnetic field component corresponding to a second axis of the magnetic field. The magnetic sensor may determine information that defines potential positions of a movable object associated with the magnet. Each potential position, of the potential positions, may be defined by a first magnetic field range for the first magnetic field component and a second magnetic field range for the second magnetic field component. The magnetic sensor may identify a position of the movable object based on the first magnetic field component, the second magnetic field component, and the information that defines the potential positions. The magnetic sensor may provide an output based on identifying the position of the movable object.

Abstract: A receiver includes a receiver circuit to receive a pulse width modulated signal, which assumes a first signal level, a second signal level and an intermediate signal level between the first signal level and the second signal level. The receiver further includes a quantization circuit to determine a value encoded in the signal based on an intermediate time period between a first transition and an intermediate transition and based on a main time period between the first transition and a second transition. The first transition comprises the first signal level, wherein the intermediate transition includes the intermediate signal level. The second transition includes the second signal level.

Abstract: An integrated sensor device (130) according to an embodiment includes a sensing element (140) and a communication interface (150) to communicate with an external control device (110). The communication interface (150) includes a receiver circuit (160) to receive, from the external device, a signal indicating a request to change a transmission mode, and a transmitter circuit (170) to change the transmission mode based on the received signal. By using an embodiment, it may be possible to improve a trade-off between a robustness of a system comprising a sensor even under adverse operational conditions, simplifying such an implementation or architecture, its energy consumption and a bandwidth of its infrastructure.

Abstract: A data transmission system comprising an Automotive Sensor Network System (ASNS) connected to a plurality of source locations via a common bus, wherein the ASNS is configured to ascertain the source from which the data-frames and first package checksum are received and based on the ascertainment of the source, appropriate decoding methods are used to calculate the ASNS location data-frame checksums and the ASNS location package checksums. A higher order redundancy check is done over a series of data-frames to detect errors in the reception caused by temporary high interference that may exist in the transmission path.
