SENSOR SUBASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR SENDING A DATA SIGNAL
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A sensor subassembly, comprising:
- a memory unit configured to store a sensor data value from the sensor subassembly; and
a transmission unit configured to send a data signal with sensor data value information to an external receiver at a data rate that is dependent on a clock frequency of a clock signal produced by the sensor subassembly, wherein the transmission unit sends the data signal with sensor data value information on the basis of a piece of trigger information in an externally received control signal.

Abstract
A sensor subassembly having a memory unit for storing a sensor data value from the sensor subassembly and a transmission unit for sending a data signal with information about the stored sensor data value to an external receiver at a data rate that is dependent on a clock frequency of a clock signal produced by the sensor subassembly. The transmission unit sends the data signal with the information about the stored sensor data value on the basis of a piece of trigger information in an externally received control signal.

16. A sensor subassembly, comprising:
-
a clock signal generator configured to produce an internal clock signal; and a transmission unit configured to send a data signal at a first data rate, wherein the first data rate is less than or equal to a data rate or a frequency of an externally received control signal, and wherein the transmission unit is configured to send a data signal at a send data rate, which is dependent on a clock frequency of an internal clock signal, following reception of a piece of trigger information in the externally received control signal, wherein the second data rate is higher than the data rate or the frequency of the externally received control signal. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)

20. A method for data transmission for a sensor subassembly, comprising:
-
storing a sensor data value for a measured variable measured by the sensor subassembly; and sending a data signal with sensor data value information to an external receiver at a data rate that is dependent on a clock frequency of a clock signal produced by the sensor subassembly, wherein the data signal with the sensor data value information is sent asynchronously with respect to a clock or a frequency of the control signal on the basis of a piece of trigger information in an externally received control signal.
