SENSOR DEVICE PROVIDED WITH A CIRCUIT FOR DETECTION OF SINGLE OR MULTIPLE EVENTS FOR GENERATING CORRESPONDING INTERRUPT SIGNALS

Torna indietro

Abstract

Described herein is a sensor device (2) for an electronic apparatus (1), provided with: a sensing structure (5) generating a first detection signal (A x ); and a dedicated integrated circuit (6), connected to the sensing structure (5), detecting, as a function of the first detection signal (A x ), a first event associated to the electronic apparatus (1) and generating a first interrupt signal (INT1x) upon detection of the first event. The dedicated integrated circuit (6) detects the first event as a function of a temporal evolution of the first detection signal (A x ), and in particular as a function of values assumed by the first detection signal (A x ) within one or more successive time windows (T s1 -T s3 ), and of a relation between these values.
