Claim:
1. A sensor subassembly, comprising: a memory unit configured to store a sensor data value from the sensor subassembly; a transmission unit configured to communicate a data signal with sensor data value information to an external receiver at a data rate that is dependent on a clock frequency of a clock signal produced by the sensor subassembly, wherein the transmission unit communicates the data signal with sensor data value information based on a piece of trigger information in an externally received control signal; and wherein the externally received control signal is a modulated supply voltage from the external receiver; and wherein the transmission unit is further configured to communicate the data signal by modulating a supply current, drawn by the transmission unit, of the modulated supply voltage, that operates as the externally received control signal that is received by the transmission unit.
