Abstract
The problems associated with the use of solid state sensors in digital systems are reviewed and some solutions are offered which are intended to aid progress towards a methodology for the design and development of 'intelligent' sensor subsystems. The combination of silicon-based sensors with on-chip electronics, together with the processing power of modern microprocessors, offers great improvements in techniques of compensation, signal processing and data communications. As a result radical changes in the exploitation of sensing mechanisms are forecast.Keywords
