Zusammenfassung:In one embodiment, an inductive/LC sensor device includes: - energy accumulation means (C ref ) for accumulating excitation energy, - an LC sensor (10) configured for oscillating energized by energy accumulated, - an energy detector (12) for detecting the energy accumulated on the energy accumulation means (C ref ) reaching a charge threshold, and - at least one switch (S1, S2) coupled with the energy detector (12) for terminating accumulating excitation energy for the sensor (10) on the energy accumulation means (C ref ) when the charge threshold is detected having been reached by the energy detector (12).
