Abstract
A pressure sensor device () includes a sensing element () for sending an analog signal according to pressure. The pressure sensor device () outputs the analog voltage to a microcomputer () through an input-output terminal (). An input-output control circuit () monitors the voltage value in the input-output terminal (). When the voltage of the input-output terminal () is set to high by the microcomputer () and is dislocated from a predetermined range, the input-output control circuit () functionally changes the input-output terminal () outputting a detecting signal to a terminal for inputting an external signal from the microcomputer. After the input-output terminal () is changed to the terminal for inputting the external signal, a range control circuit () fetches an external command signal through the input-output terminal () and switches the output characteristics.
