    Abstract: A sensing device is provided. The sensing device includes a processing circuit and a multi-sensor integrated single chip. The multi-sensor integrated single chip includes a substrate and a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, and an environmental sensor disposed on the substrate. The temperature sensor senses temperature. The pressure sensor senses pressure. The environmental sensor senses an environmental state. The processing circuit obtains a first sensed temperature value from the temperature sensor when the environmental sensor does not operate, and it obtains a second sensed temperature value from the temperature sensor when the environmental sensor operates. The processing circuit obtains a sensed pressure value from the pressure sensor. The processing circuit obtains at least one temperature calibration reference of the pressure sensor according to the first and second sensed temperature values and calibrates the sensed pressure value according to the temperature calibration reference.

    Abstract: A sensing device is provided. The sensing device includes a plurality of infrared thermosensitive elements and a plurality of resistor-capacitor (RC) oscillators. The plurality of infrared thermosensitive elements are arranged in an array. Each of the plurality of infrared thermosensitive elements has a resistance value which changes with a temperature of the infrared thermosensitive element by absorbing infrared radiation and generates a sensing voltage corresponding to the resistance value. The plurality of RC oscillators are coupled to the plurality of infrared thermosensitive elements to receive the corresponding sensing values, respectively. Each of the plurality of RC oscillators generates a digital sensing signal according to the corresponding sensing value to indicate the temperature of the corresponding infrared thermosensitive element. Each of the plurality of RC oscillators is disposed under the corresponding infrared thermosensitive element.

    Abstract: A reading device for capacitive sensing element comprises a differential capacitive sensing element, a modulator, a charge-voltage conversion circuit, a phase adjustment circuit, a demodulator and a low-pass filter. The modulator outputs a modulation signal to the common node of the capacitive sensing element and modulates the output signal of the capacitive sensing element. The two input terminals of the charge-to-voltage conversion circuit are connected to two non-common nodes of the capacitive sensing element. The charge-to-voltage converter read the output charge of the capacitive sensing element and convert it into a voltage signal. The modulator generates a demodulation signal through the phase adjustment circuit. The demodulator receives the demodulation signal from the phase adjustment circuit and demodulates the output of the charge-to-voltage conversion circuit. The low-pass filter is connected to the output of the demodulator for filtering the demodulated voltage signal to output the read signal.
