Smart sensors are sensors combined with interfacing electronic circuits that can perform logic functions, two-way communication, and make decisions. They convert physical, biological, or chemical inputs into digital outputs. Smart sensors have evolved from first generation devices with little electronics to now being fully integrated systems-on-chip with sensing, processing, communication and power management. They are used widely in industrial applications like structural health monitoring and geological mapping due to advantages like minimum interconnects, high reliability, and scalability.

15. WHAT IS SMART SENSORSA sensor producing an electrical output when combined with interfacing electronic circuits is known as “Smart Sensor", it is a combination of both sensor and actuator.

16. It simply physical, biological or chemical input & converts it to the measured value into a digital format.USEFULNESS OS SILICON TECHNOLOGY IN SMART SENSORSSingle chip solution

17. Very small in size

18. Less space in configuration

19. Work with small signalsWHY SMART SENSORS?Smart sensor enhances the following applications:Self calibration: Adjust deviation of o/p of sensor from desired value.

20. Communication: Broadcast information about its own status.

21. Computation: Allowsone to obtain the average, variance and standard deviation for the set of measurements.
