What is a sensor?

The sensor is a detection device, can feel the measured information, and can feel the information, according to certain laws, transformed into electrical signals or other required forms of information output to meet the information transmission, processing, storage, display, recording and control requirements.

The national standard GB7665-87 definition of the sensor is: "can feel the measured parts and according to a certain law (mathematical function law) into a usable signal device or device, usually by the sensitive components and conversion components.

Expanded Information:

p>The characteristics of the sensor include: miniaturization, digitalization, intelligence, multifunctionality, systematization, networking, which not only promotes the transformation and renewal of traditional industries, but also may establish a new type of industry, thus becoming a new economic growth point in the 21st century. Miniaturization is based on micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology, has been successfully applied to silicon devices made of silicon pressure sensors.

The composition of the sensor: the sensor is generally composed of sensitive components, conversion components, conversion circuits and auxiliary power supply four parts.
