APPARATUS AND A METHOD FOR PROVIDING AN OUTPUT PARAMETER AND A SENSOR DEVICE

摘要

An apparatus for providing an output parameter includes an output parameter generator circuit configured to determine a value of an output parameter repeatedly. The output parameter generator circuit includes at least one circuit block mandatory for the determination of a value of the output parameter. Further, the apparatus includes an output interface circuit configured to transmit the output parameter repeatedly to a receiver and a test circuit configured to test a basic functionality of the at least one mandatory circuit block of the output parameter generator circuit repeatedly. The at least one mandatory circuit block of the output parameter generator circuit is unavailable for the determination of a value of the output parameter during the basic functionality test.
