Generic specification for sensors


FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60747-14-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 47E: Discrete
semiconductor devices, of IEC technical committee 47: Semiconductor devices.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2000, and constitutes
a technical revision.
The major changes with regard to the previous edition are as follows:
a) Title change from "Semiconductor sensors - General and classification" to "Semiconductor
sensors - Generic specification for sensors";
b) Clause 3 has been divided into three Clauses 3, 4 and 5;
c) Added new terms from IEC 60747-14-5;
d) Added a new Clause relating to Quality assessment procedures;
e) Added a Bibliography;
f) Added a new Annex for the sampling procedure.

3.2 Terms and definitions
3.2.1
ambient conditions allowed
specified tolerance which the sensor can perform, including temperature, acceleration,
vibration, shock, ambient pressure (e.g. high altitudes), moisture, corrosive materials, and
electromagnetic field
IEC 60721-2-1 and IEC60 721-3-0 shall be referred to for basic conditions.
3.2.2
bias
voltage or current that apply to signal electrode, etc., to decide action datum of sensor
3.2.3
full scale output
upper limit of sensor output over the measuring range
3.2.4
full scale span
FSS
algebraic difference between the end points of the output. The upper limit of sensor output
over the measuring range is called the full scale output (FSO), see Figure 1. This signal is the
sum of the offset signal plus the full scale span
3.2.5
hysteresis
maximum difference in output, at any measurand value, within the measuring range when the
value is approached first with an increasing and then decreasing measurand (Figure 2).
Hysteresis is expressed in percent of FSO during one calibration cycle

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
60747-14-1 © IEC:2010 – 9 –
3.2.6
input full scale
upper limit of sensor input over the measuring range
3.2.7
linearity
closeness between the calibration curve and a specified straight line. There are two basic
methods for calculating linearity: end point straight line fit or a least squares best line fit.
While a least squares fit gives the “best case” linearity error (lower numerical value), the
calculations required are burdensome. Conversely, an end point fit will give the “worst case”
error (often more desirable in error budget calculations) and the calculation are more
straightforward for the user. The result is called the end-point or terminal linearity
3.2.8
long term stability
ability that can keep feature of sensor during certain period
3.2.9
measuring range
set of values for a measurand for which the error of a measuring instrument is intended to lie
within specified limits (Figure 1)
NOTE 1 The upper and lower limits of the specified measuring range are sometimes called “maximum capacity”
and “minimum capacity”, respectively.
NOTE 2 In some other fields of knowledge, “range” is used to mean the difference between the greatest and the
smallest values.
3.2.10
measurable temperature range
temperature range that sensor can measure
3.2.11
offset
output of a sensor, under room-temperature condition unless otherwise specified, with zero
measurand applied (Figure 1)

3.2.12
operating life
minimum duration over which the sensor will operate, either continuously or over a number of
on-off cycles whose duration is specified, without changing performance characteristics
beyond specified tolerances
3.2.13
operating temperature range
temperature range that sensor can operate in without giving damage in sensor normally
3.2.14
output quantity
output is usually the electrical quantity produced by a sensor and is a function of the
measurable. The output format includes analogue output (e.g. a continuous function of the
measurand such as voltage amplitude, voltage ratio, and changes in capacitance). Frequency
output (i.e. the number of cycles or pulses per second as a function of the measurand) and
frequency-modulated output (i.e. frequency deviation from a centre frequency) are also forms
of analogue output. Another output format is the digital output which represents the
measurand in the form of discrete quantities coded in some system of notation (e.g. binary
code)
3.2.15
overload characteristics
overload (or overrange) is the maximum magnitude of measurand that can be applied to a
sensor without causing a change in performance beyond specified tolerance. A key parameter
of the overload characteristics is the recovery time, which is the amount of time allowed to
elapse after removal of an overload condition before the sensor again performs within the
specified tolerance
3.2.16
precision
ability that can measure real value repeatedly
3.2.17
repeatability
ability of a sensor to reproduce output readings at room temperature, unless otherwise
specified, when the same measurand is applied to it consecutively, under the same conditions
and in the same direction (Figure 2). It is expressed as the maximum difference between
output readings as determined by two calibration cycles (Figure 2). It is usually stated as
"within x % FSO"
3.2.18
resolution
minimal change of the value necessary to produce a detectable change at the output. When
the measurand increment is from zero, it is called the threshold
3.2.19
selectivity
ability of sensor to measure one (e.g. one chemical component) in the presence of others
3.2.20
sensitivity
ratio of the change in sensor output to the change in the value of the measurable. It is the
slope of the calibration curve (Figure1). For a sensor in which the output y is related to the
measurand x by the equation y = f(x), the sensitivity S(x ), at point x is
a a
dy
S ( x ) =
a
dx
x = x
a

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
60747-14-1 © IEC:2010 – 11 –
It is desirable to have a high and, if possible, constant sensitivity. For a sensor having y =
kx+b, where k and b are constants, the sensitivity S is k for the entire measuring range. For a
2
sensor having y = kx +b, the sensitivity S is 2kx and changes from one point to another over
the measuring range
3.2.21
sensor
device which is affected by the measurand (stimulus) and provides an output quantity
(response)
3.2.22
supply voltage range
supply voltage range not to affect the change for sensibility and feature of sensor
3.2.23
span
modulus of the difference between the two limits of the range
3.2.24
stability
ability of a sensor to maintain its performance characteristics for a certain period of time.
Unless otherwise stated, stability is the ability of a sensor to reproduce output readings,
obtained during the original calibration, and constant room conditions, for a specified period of
time. It is typically expressed as a percentage of FSO
3.2.25
temperature coefficient
ratio of resistance change to temperature change
3.2.26
time of response
time interval, with the apparatus in a warmed-up condition, between the time when an
instantaneous variation in volume ratio is produced at the apparatus inlet and the time when
the response reaches a stated percentage (x) of the final indication.
