Abstract

See full text

A sensor interface circuit and sensor output adjusting method are provided. The sensor interface circuit includes a processor and a gain control circuit. The processor obtains information of a linear region of a sensor to set a configuration corresponding to the sensor. The gain control circuit is coupled to the processor, performs a return-to-zero operation for a maximum electronic value and a minimum electronic value corresponding to the linear region and performs a full-scale operation for a slope of the linear region according to the maximum input range of an analog-to-digital converter which is a subsequent-stage circuit of the sensor interface circuit.
