Abstract: Subject matter herein can include identifying a biochemical test strip assembly electrically, such as using the same test circuitry as can be used to perform an electrochemical measurement, without requiring use of optical techniques. The identification can include using information about a measured susceptance of an identification feature included as a portion of the test strip assembly. The identification can be used by test circuitry to select test parameters or calibration values, or to select an appropriate test protocol for the type of test strip coupled to the test circuitry. The identification can be used by the test circuitry to validate or reject a test strip assembly, such as to inhibit use of test strips that fail meet one or more specified criteria.

Abstract: Sensor error detection with an additional channel is disclosed herein. First and second magnetic sensing elements can be disposed at angles relative to each other. In some embodiments, the first and second magnetic sensing elements can be magnetoresistive sensing elements, such as anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) sensing elements. Sensor data from first and second channels, respectively, having the first and second sensing elements, can be obtained. Third channel can receive a signal from the first sensing element and a signal from the second sensing element, and sensor data from the third channel can be obtained. Expected third channel data can be determined and compared to the obtained third channel data to indicate error.

Abstract: An improved receiver for use in a data pocket communications is provide, where the process of configuring the gain of the receiver and identifying a preamble in the data packet are made more robust. The improved receiver does not need to rely on the received power level exceeding a trigger threshold to initiate the gain control. Instead the gain control runs while the receiver is waiting for a data packet. The frequency correction process can run concurrently with the gain control process.

Abstract: A control circuit for use with a four terminal sensor, the sensor having first and second drive terminals and first and second measurement terminals, the control circuit arranged to drive at least one of the first and second drive terminals with an excitation signal, to sense a voltage difference between the first and second measurement terminals, and control the excitation signal such that the voltage difference between the first and second measurement terminals is within a target range of voltages, and wherein the control circuit includes N poles in its transfer characteristic and N−1 zeros in its transfer characteristic such that when a loop gain falls to unity the phase shift around a closed loop is not substantially 2π radians or a multiple thereof, where N is greater than 1.
