Smart cartridge wake up operation and data retention

A powered surgical instrument, comprising:

• a motor;
• an end effector operably coupled to the motor, wherein the end effector comprises jaws, and wherein the motor is configured to actuate the end effector to grasp tissue between the jaws;
• a tissue sensor assembly, comprising:
• a first sensor coupled to the end effector, wherein the first sensor is configured to measure a first parameter of the tissue;
• and
• a second sensor coupled to the end effector, wherein the second sensor is configured to measure a second parameter of the tissue, wherein the first sensor and the second sensor are in signal communication with a processor, and wherein the processor is configured to combine data from the first sensor and a second sensor to determine a characteristic of the tissue;
• and
• a third sensor configured to measure an internal parameter of the surgical instrument, wherein an actuation of the end effector by the motor is based on a combination of the data from the first sensor and the second sensor and a measurement of the internal parameter of the surgical instrument.
