Abstract:
1. A digital pressure transducer, comprising: a microprocessor; at least one memory component coupled with the microprocessor, the at least one memory component storing a correction algorithm and a set of coefficients obtained during a calibration process for the specific digital pressure transducer; at least one analog to digital converter coupled with the microprocessor at least one sensor coupled with the at least one analog to digital converter, wherein the at least one sensor provides an analog output signal related to the pressure and temperature of a pressure sensing element, and wherein the analog to digital converter is configured to convert the analog output signal to a digitized output signal; a plurality of ports coupled with the microprocessor, the plurality of ports comprising, wherein the microprocessor couples with firmware that is configured to implement an adjustment application to convert the digitized output signal to a pressure value using the correction algorithm and the set of coefficients obtained during the calibration process, and wherein the read-only port is adapted to communicate with the host device with an electronic component level communication protocol.
