  • Patent number: 7154425
    Abstract: A multiplexer selects an input signal from one of plural sensors. An A/D converter converts the selected input signal to a digital input value. A processor then determines, based on the digital input value, an output resistance to which the resistance of the selected sensor is to be translated. Finally, the processor controls a digital potentiometer corresponding to the selected sensor to the determined output resistance. In one embodiment, a conditioning circuit adjusts the gain of the input signal according to calibration data, effectively performing at least a part of the translation in the analog domain.
