The invention relates to a relative pressure sensor for determining a pressure (p1) of a medium, having a housing (12), having a measurement element (2), which is arranged in the housing (12), wherein an outer side of the measurement element (2), in contact with the medium, is charged with the pressure to be measured (p1), having a reference pressure supply (3) which supplies surrounding air to the measurement element (2) and having at least one drying chamber (4) arranged in the housing (12) for receiving air moisture. The invention is characterized in that the drying chamber (4) comprises a moisture-absorbing material (41) or is substantially made of the moisture-absorbing material (41), the moisture-absorbing material (41) is surrounded by a wall (51) at least in sections, which is made of a first moisture-permeable material, or is free from a wall at least in sections, and the reference pressure supply (3) is produced at least in sections from the first or a second moisture-permeable material, or the reference pressure supply (3) has an opening.

A pressure sensor (1) comprises a measuring diaphragm (2), which can be deformed on the basis of the pressure, and a mating body (3) which are connected to one another in a pressure-tight manner and form a measuring chamber (5) in which a reference pressure is present, wherein a pressure can be applied to an outside of the measuring diaphragm (2), wherein the pressure sensor (1) has a capacitive transducer having at least one mating body electrode (8, 9) and at least one diaphragm electrode (7), wherein, above a pressure limit value for the pressure, at least one central surface section of the measuring diaphragm (2) rests against the mating body with a contact surface (A(p)), the size of which is dependent on the pressure, wherein the pressure sensor also has a resistive transducer for converting a pressure-dependent deformation of the measuring diaphragm, when pressed in a range of values above the pressure limit value, into an electrical signal using an electrical resistance which is dependent on the contact surface of the measuring diaphragm (2) on the mating body (3).

The invention relates to a pressure transducer comprising a resistive pressure sensor element (1) with a measurement membrane (10) which has at least four resistor elements. The resistor elements (12, 13, 14, 15) are arranged in a full-bridge circuit, said full bridge having a longitudinal direction in which the full bridge is to be supplied. When supplying a constant current, a longitudinal voltage has a first pressure dependency and a first temperature dependency, and a diagonal voltage has a second pressure dependency and a second temperature dependency, said second pressure dependency being greater than the first pressure dependency at a given temperature. The pressure transducer has a processing circuit which is designed to determine a measured pressure value at least using the diagonal voltage and optionally the longitudinal voltage. The invention is characterized in that the processing circuit is further designed to check whether a value pair of a longitudinal voltage and a diagonal voltage corresponds to an expected functional relationship at a current temperature.

The invention relates to a method for operating a pressure sensor, which has a measurement diaphragm, at least one counter-body and a capacitive transducer with two pressure-dependent capacitances in each case between electrodes at the measurement diaphragm and spatially-fixed counter-electrodes, wherein the measurement diaphragm splits a volume into two partial volumes in a pressure-tight manner, wherein the second partial volume is enclosed in a measurement chamber between the measurement diaphragm and the counter-body, wherein a deflection of the measurement diaphragm is dependent on a pressure measurement variable p as the difference between a first pressure p 1 and second pressure p 2 in the partial volumes, wherein the pressure measurement variable p results from both capacitances, wherein for an intact pressure sensor the second capacitance is a predetermined function of the first capacitance and, if appropriate, the temperature, wherein the method has the following steps: capturing value pairs of both capacitances; checking whether the value pairs correspond to the predetermined function within a tolerance range; and establishing a change in or damage to the sensor, if this has not been the case for too long.

The invention relates to a method for compensating for temperature gradient influences on a pressure transducer, comprising: registering a pressure signal S p (t), registering a temperature signal T(t), determining a pressure measurement value p s (S p (t), T(t)), determining the temporal derivation of the temperature signal dT/dt, correcting the pressure measurement value with a correction function that depends on the temporal derivation, characterized in that a different correction function is selected or different coefficients are selected in a function of the same type depending on the algebraic sign of the temporal derivation.
