1. A sensor system, comprising:

  • a plurality of sensors configured to independently generate digital sensor signals, each sensor signal corresponding to a sensed quantity;

    a plurality of channel protection elements, respectively configured to receive one of the digital sensor signals output from an individual one of the sensors and to introduce channel protection data (CPD) into the received digital sensor signal to generate an individual channel protected sensor signal (CPS);

    a shared communication interface configured to receive the individual CPS signals from the plurality of channel protection elements and to assemble selected ones of the individual CPS signals into a data frame; and

    wherein the plurality of sensors, the plurality of channel protection elements, and the shared communication interface are disposed onto a same integrated chip.
