  • Patent number: 11686267
    Abstract: A system includes a control circuit and an adjustable low-pass filter. The control circuit is configured to receive an input signal and to control at least one engine output based on the input signal. The adjustable low-pass filter receives the input signal, and filters the input signal prior to forwarding the input signal to the control circuit. The adjustable low-pass filter has a first setting in which the adjustable low-pass filter has a first cut-off frequency and a second setting in which the adjustable low-pass filter has a second cut-off frequency. The first setting configures the control circuit to be used with a first sensor having a first dynamic range and the second setting configures the control circuit to be used with a second sensor having a second dynamic range.

  • Patent number: 11199151
    Abstract: An engine control module comprises an input terminal configured to receive an input signal, an analog-to-digital converter configured to receive the input signal from the input terminal, control circuitry configured to receive the input signal from the analog-to-digital converter and to control at least one engine output based on the input signal, and an adjustable low-pass filter. The adjustable low-pass filter is coupled between the input terminal and the analog-to-digital converter such that the analog-to-digital converter receives the input signal from the input terminal via the adjustable low-pass filter. The adjustable low-pass filter is configured to filter the input signal from the input terminal prior to the input signal being applied to the analog-to-digital converter.
