Product background and integration into existing test setups.
Technical background
Single Edge Nibble Transmission
SENT (Single Edge Nibble Transmission) is a digital interface between sensors and ECUs in automotive electronics. Data is transmitted in four-bit units called nibbles.
A data frame contains 24 bits of measurement data (six nibbles), four CRC error-detection bits (one nibble), and four status bits (one nibble).
