Abstract

The SENSIPLUS, a recently introduced versatile sensor interface, is described. The SENSIPLUS is a single-chip solution that allows a wide variety of operations required by sensor systems, such as vector impedance, voltage and current measurements across a wide frequency range. Integration with standard embedded systems is facilitated by the presence of a configurable communication line. In this work, the capability of interfacing resistive sensors and performing impedance spectroscopy is demonstrated by means of experiments executed on external reference components.
