A pressure and sensing element is provided that includes one piezo-resistive sensing element configured as a single light implant square, and may produce outputs relating to both a pressure and temperature that has been sensed. The piezo-sensing element may operate as a piezo-resistive radial element when a constant current is conducted through the element in the radial direction with respect to the diaphragm. Conversely, the piezo-sensing element may operate as a piezo-resistive tangential element when a constant current is conducted through the element in the tangential direction to the edge of the diaphragm. A difference in the radial and tangential resistances and a corresponding difference in voltage drop are proportional to an applied pressure, while a sum of the same two resistances is a function of temperature. |
