1. A sensor comprising:
- one or more transducers adapted to provide a first analog transducer signal and a second analog transducer signal, at least two converters, with a first converter being adapted to convert said first analog transducer signal to a first digital transducer signal, and a second converter adapted to convert said second analog transducer signal to a second digital transducer signal, a memory device associated with said converters capable of receiving said first and second digital transducer signals directly from said converters, and said memory device being configured to provide a digital output value from a memory location, said memory location being associated with or corresponding to both the first digital transducer signal and the second digital transducer signal received by the memory device.

Abstract
A sensor for measuring a parameter includes at least one transducer adapted to provide an analog transducer signal, and at least one converter adapted to convert the analog transducer signal into a digitized transducer signal, and a memory device associated with the converter capable of receiving the digitized transducer signal directly from the converter. The memory device is configured to provide a digitized output value from a memory location, the memory location being associated with or corresponding to the digitized transducer signal received by the memory device.

17. A method of operating a sensor comprising the steps of,
a) providing a first analog transducer signal to a first converter from a transducer, b) providing a second analog transducer signal to a second converter, c) converting said first analog transducer signal to a first digital transducer signal, d) converting said second analog transducer signal to a second digital transducer signal, e) supplying said first and second digital transducer signals directly to two separate inputs of a memory device, f) matching a memory location in the memory device to both said first digital transducer signal and said second digital transducer signal, and g) transmitting a digital output value stored within said matched memory location.
