Analog signal sensors are sensors that output measurement results through continuous voltage or current signals (such as 4-20mA current signals, 0-5V voltage signals, etc.). The core feature is the continuity of signal output, which can reflect the changing trend of the measured value in real time, and is suitable for industrial scenarios that require high dynamic response and linear output. It has a simple structure and strong compatibility, and can be directly connected to traditional PLC, DCS and other industrial control systems without the need for additional signal conversion modules.
Analog signal sensors are widely used in process control, environmental monitoring, automated production lines and other fields, such as the detection of physical quantities such as temperature, pressure, and flow. Standardized signal output (such as 4-20mA) has the advantages of strong anti-interference ability and long transmission distance, and is especially suitable for long-distance and stable transmission in industrial sites.

VIEW MOREIn the context of rapid development in modern electronics and the Internet of Things (IoT), analog signal sensors have become essential core components in various smart devices and systems. Whether in medical devices, automotive electronics, or consumer electronics, analog signal sensors play a critical role in data acquisition and control systems. So, what advantages do analog signal sensors offer, and how do they transform our daily life and industrial applications? This article explores the technical principles, application areas, and industry trends of analog signal sensors, while highlighting the strengths of Wuxi Mems Tech Co., Ltd. in delivering high-performance solutions.
An analog signal sensor is a type of sensor that converts physical quantities, such as pressure, temperature, humidity, or acceleration, into continuous electrical signals. Unlike digital sensors, analog sensors output continuous voltage or current signals, which directly reflect the changes in physical quantities. This characteristic makes them ideal for scenarios requiring high-precision data acquisition and continuous monitoring.
For example, a pressure sensor can detect changes in air or liquid pressure in real time and output a voltage signal proportional to the pressure, providing accurate data for control systems. Since its founding in 2011, Wuxi Mems Tech Co., Ltd. has focused on the R&D and production of MEMS pressure sensors, ensuring high accuracy and reliability in medical, automotive, and consumer electronics applications.
In medical devices, accurate and real-time data acquisition is crucial. Analog signal sensors can continuously monitor physiological parameters such as blood pressure, respiratory rate, and heart rate, converting these physical quantities into continuous electrical signals to provide doctors with precise information. Compared with traditional measurement methods, medical devices using high-performance analog signal sensors offer improved accuracy and significantly enhance patient comfort.
