Self-monitoring pressure detection apparatus and method |
摘要 |
A pressure detection apparatus including a pressure detection diaphragm, pressure detection circuit for outputting a pressure detection signal proportional to a pressure applied to the pressure detection diaphragm and clamping circuit for clamping the pressure detection signal to a predefined maximum or minimum value when the detected pressure signal is larger than the maximum value or less than the minimum value. Signal clamping by the clamping circuit is cut-off or cancelled when the pressure applied to the pressure detection diaphragm causes an operational error. This operational error may be detected by forming part of the clamping circuit on a semiconductor diaphragm of the sensor. Also, a failure detection circuit may be used to detect sensor failure and then cancel signal clamping.
