  • Method for measuring a physical quantity by means of a digital sensor
    Patent number: 11835007
    Abstract: A method for controlling a motor-vehicle electronic control unit with a view to acquiring the measurement of a physical quantity using a digital sensor connected to the electronic control unit, in which method the sensor sends measurement digital data with a send period and the electronic control unit processes these measurement data with a processing period, the send period being shorter than the processing period. At the end of each processing period, the average value of the measured physical quantity is determined over an interval of N preceding processing periods.
    Type: Grant
