Abstract
Described herein is a sensor assembly that can be calibrated after manufacture and a method for calibrating that assembly. The assembly comprises a sense element, microprocessor and a protection circuit. The assembly can use pins on the existing connector to input calibration data. The present invention also is a method of calibrating sensor outputs using an assembly that contains a protection circuit to prevent the sensor assembly from electrostatic discharge and high and reverse voltage.
