Abstract
A sensor including at least one sensor chip for detecting a radiation; and an electronics unit with a digital, bidirectional connection line and with a standby control circuit, as well as with an active status line; wherein the connection line is configured to be connected to an external activation unit; and the standby control circuit is configured to determine whether the connection line is externally addressed by the activation unit when the connection line is not addressed by the active status line, and precisely then to place the sensor in a standby mode.
Claims16
A sensor comprising
- at least one sensor chip for detecting a radiation;
- and
- an electronics unit with a digital, bidirectional connection line and with a standby control circuit, as well as with an active status line;
- wherein
- the connection line is configured to be connected to an external activation unit;
- and
- the standby control circuit is configured to determine whether the connection line is externally addressed by the activation unit when the connection line is not addressed by the active status line, and precisely then to place the sensor in a standby mode.
4 more elements
The sensor as claimed in the preceding claim, wherein
- the connection line is connected to the external control unit;
- the standby control circuit determines whether the connection line is externally addressed by the activation unit;
- the standby control circuit determines whether the connection line is addressed by the active status line;
- and
- the standby control circuit places the sensor in a standby mode precisely when the connection line is not addressed by the active status line and is addressed externally by the activation unit.
