Claim 11:
12. The sensor system as claimed in claim 1, comprising
a plurality of n sensor chips interfaced with the microcontroller via the first bidirectional digital signal interface,
wherein n is greater than three,
wherein the microcontroller is designed to use the first bidirectional digital signal interface to provide an addressing command to at least n−1 of the plurality of n sensor chips,
wherein each of the at least n−1 of the plurality of n sensor chips is configured to respond to the addressing command by using a respective analog signal interface or a respective bidirectional digital signal interface to convey a random output signal to the microcontroller, and
wherein each of the at least n−1 of the plurality of n sensor chips is configured to receive a unique address in response to a respective random output signal.
