Abstract
At present, many efforts to integrate total sensor systems are undertaken. The objective is to integrate sensors, electronic interface circuits and digital signal processing circuitry on one single chip. In this contribution an overview of sensor interface systems is given. It will be demonstrated that the above objective is hard to achieve, and is strongly depending on the technologies involved. Some temperature, pressure and chemical interface circuits will be analyzed and discussed.
