which occurs via the first signal conditioning unit 206 the output signal 207 is then passed to the second signal conditioning unit 208 asic 108 generally performs signal conditioning amplification at the second signal conditioning unit 208 and generates an amplified output signal 209 i e v o amplified the sensor signal conditioning units 206 and 208 work together to perform all necessary functions for calibration temperature compensation influence and linearizing the amplified output signal 209 and thus improvement is obtained by integrating the asic 108 for signal conditioning and its isolation from the pressure block 202 fig7 illustrates a high level block diagram 400 of a pressure sensor 100 incorporating an asic 108 depicted in fig1 in accordance with a preferred embodiment note that in fig1 7 identical or similar parts and or elements are generally indicated by identical reference numerals thus reference numerals 105 and 108 as depicted in fig1 and reference numerals 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 and 209 depicted in fig6 refers to the same components in fig7 as indicated by arrow 401 in fig7 input pressure can be applied to the pressure block 202 pressure sense die 105 senses the pressure change and causes a deflection of membrane as indicated by the arrow 203 and as a result change in resistance of the resistive network 204 occur.
