Pressure Sensors are sensors designed to detect and measure pressure and convert it into a usable electrical signal. They provide a standardized way to represent pressure changes for monitoring and control within electronic systems.
These devices may be based on different sensing principles and can be intended for various pressure reference types, such as measuring pressure relative to a vacuum, ambient atmosphere, or a sealed reference.
- Function: Transduce pressure into an electrical output suitable for electronic processing.
- Measurement references: Commonly categorized as absolute, gauge, or differential pressure sensing.
- Integration: Available as standalone sensing elements or as sensors with integrated signal conditioning.
