A local bus is described which is designed for use in a multi-chipcomposedmicroinstrumentation system. The bus is able to transmit a digitalcode, bitstream, analog voltage, frequency, duty-cycle and also providescalibration facilities, service request and interrupt request for the smartsensors. Corresponding sensor bus interface was implemented in a 1.6 mCMOS process and successfully tested in a local sensor network.
