As pressure transducers are employed in many fields such as production facilities, test facilities vehicles and industrial machinery, there is an increasing need for high precision measurement of pressure without any calibration or maintenance. In this paper, we discuss the development of a smart thin film pressure transducer which is highly suitable for a precise measurement of pressure. The smart functions include automatic zero tracking, automatic span adjustment, temperature compenstion, continuous self-diagnostics for faults (open strain gages, abnormal data, incorrect A/D conversion, and overpressure), data memory and multi-drop communication with PC
