PD IEC TS 60747‑19‑2 provides a guideline of indication of specifications of a low-power sensor being a device or a module allowing autonomous power supply operation, which contributes to the low-power design of a smart sensing unit. Here, the smart sensing unit comprises a smart sensor, a terminal module, and a power supply, which can send output data of the smart sensor to the outside.
PD IEC TS 60747‑19‑2 also provides a guideline of indication of specifications of the power supply to drive the smart sensor(s) in the smart sensing unit. Based on these, the three components of the smart sensing unit can be easily selected and combined from the point-of-view of newly designed, low-power, smart sensing units.
PD IEC TS 60747‑19‑2 on semiconductor devices and smart sensors specifications is useful for:
The development of smart sensors which integrate analogue-to-digital conversion and digital processing of the captured sensor signal(s) is in progress. the three components of the smart sensing unit, namely, smart sensor, terminal module, and power supply, standardization regarding control schemes to connect the components mutually and regarding the indication of specifications of the components have not been sufficiently established yet. This issue leads to the present situation, where the development of each component in the smart sensing unit has not proceeded efficiently.
PD IEC TS 60747‑19‑2 aims to provide you with guidelines that are required when the smart sensing unit is newly designed. PD IEC TS 60747‑19‑2 discusses the indication of specification of power supply and the indication of smart sensors’ time-variation power consumption characteristics.
When developing these smart sensors, a careful and precise power consumption design including time-variation characteristics and depending on each operation mode become essential. Therefore, the guideline specified in PD IEC TS 60747‑19‑2 is essential for developing low-power smart sensors and their related devices.
