SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A DIGITAL SENSOR

A system for controlling a digital sensor (CN) for measuring a physical quantity (GP) includes a transducer (TRD) delivering as output an analog signal representative of the physical quantity (GP), with means (MGD) for implementing gain and/or shift on the analog output signal (SA1) of the transducer (TRD), and with an analog-digital converter (CAN) at the output of the sensor (CN) so as to deliver a digital signal (SN1). A first means (MA1) applies a first shift to the analog signal of the physical quantity (GP), and a second means (MA2) applies a second shift to the digital signal (SN1). Control means (CMD) continuously controls the first application means (MA1), on the basis of the digital signal (SN1), as well as the second application means (MA2), on the basis of the digital signal (SN1) and/or of the first shift.
