[0003] However, due to the following disadvantages of the analog pressure sensor: 1. The output of the analog pressure sensor is an analog voltage signal, and the subsequent system needs to perform A / D conversion before processing, which has low precision and increases system cost and complexity. , which is not conducive to system matching and integration

2. Poor anti-interference ability

The output of the analog pressure sensor is an analog voltage signal, and the analog signal is easily disturbed during the transmission process, which affects the stability of the subsequent system

3. Poor temperature characteristics

The temperature coefficient of the analog pressure sensor is relatively large. In the case of a large range of ambient temperature changes, the subsequent system needs to be equipped with a temperature compensation unit, which increases the volume and cost of the system.

4. Large non-linearity error

[0004] However, the current digital piezoresistive pressure sensor generally has a relatively complex structure, resulting in high cost. Although the detection accuracy has been improved compared with the analog pressure sensor, it still cannot meet the requirements of the high detection accuracy field.
