3.3.1 Introduction
In smart temperature sensor systems and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), often integrated sensors are used, which combine sensing elements with the interface electronics needed to communicate with, for instance, microcontrollers. In addition to integrated sensors, in such systems also discrete sensing elements can be applied. Discrete elements are used, for instance, for calibration and testing. Discrete elements are also used in environments in which the temperatures are beyond the range of what interface electronics can tolerate. Table 3.1 (Meijer, 2008a) summarizes the main features of some commonly used on-chip and discrete sensing elements for temperature sensor systems and MEMS.
