Abstract: A photoacoustic detector unit comprises a housing having an opening, and also a photoacoustic transducer designed to convert optical radiation into at least one from a pressure signal or a heat signal. The photoacoustic transducer covers the opening of the housing, such that the photoacoustic transducer and the housing form an acoustically tight cavity. A pressure pick-up is arranged in the acoustically tight cavity.

Abstract: A gas sensor having a heater, a receiver, and a space arranged between the heater and the receiver, is described, the heater being configured to generate a thermoacoustic sound wave propagating through the space by using a stimulation signal. The receiver is in this case configured to receive the thermoacoustic sound wave that has propagated through the space and to convert it into a reception signal that has a time-of-flight-dependent shift with respect to the stimulation signal and therefore information relating to the gas concentration in the space.

Abstract: A gas sensor includes a multi-wafer stack of a plurality of layers and a measurement chamber. The plurality of layers includes a first layer comprising a sensor element that has a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) membrane; and a second layer comprising an emitter element configured to emit electromagnetic radiation. The measurement chamber is interposed between the first layer and the second layer. The measurement chamber is configured to receive a measurement gas and further receive the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the emitter element as the electromagnetic radiation travels along a radiation path from a first end of the measurement chamber to a second end of the measurement chamber that is opposite to the first end.

Abstract: An example of a system comprises a volume filled with a gas, a gas excitation device configured to excite the gas inside the volume, a microphone configured to output a microphone signal on the basis of the gas excited by the gas excitation device, and a testing unit configured to take the microphone signal as a basis for testing a gas-tightness of the volume. An example of a photoacoustic sensor comprises a hermetically sealed sensor cell, a gas excitation device and a testing unit configured to take the microphone signal dependent on the thermally excited gas as a basis for testing a gas-tightness of the sensor cell. One example comprises a method for testing a gas-tightness of a volume filled with a gas.

Abstract: An interconnect module includes a metal clip having a first end section, a second end section and a middle section extending between the first and the second end sections. The first end section is configured for external attachment to a bare semiconductor die or packaged semiconductor die attached to a carrier or to a metal region of the carrier. The second end section is configured for external attachment to a different metal region of the carrier or to a different semiconductor die or packaged semiconductor die attached to the carrier. The module further includes a magnetic field sensor secured to the metal clip. The magnetic field sensor is operable to sense a magnetic field produced by current flowing through the metal clip. The interconnect module can be used to form a direct electrical connection between components and/or metal regions of a carrier to which the module is attached.

Abstract: An example of a power converter is disclosed. At least one converter module provides an alternating output voltage. The converter module is coupled to an output terminal by a conductor path. A current sensor is placed within a magnetic field generated by a current through the conductor path. The current sensor includes at least one magneto-resistive sensing element to provide a sensor signal in response to the magnetic field. A signal generator causes a magnetic self-test field at the magneto-resistive sensing element. A readout circuit receives a first sensor signal of the magneto-resistive sensing element before the magnetic self-test field is applied and a second sensor signal of the magneto-resistive sensing element after the magnetic self-test field is applied. An evaluation circuit determines information indicating a safe operation of the current sensor based on an evaluation of the first sensor signal and the second sensor signal.
