A sensor detects, measures, and controls physical properties such as light, humidity, motion, moisture, temperature, and pressure. It converts data such as light and sound into a practical format for the user. On the other hand, a smart sensor has built-in circuitry for a designer. For instance, the motion sensor has an operational amplifier (op-amp) and digital circuitry built into the sensor module, making it ready to use once plugged in. A smart sensor can produce an electrical output when combined with a sensing element, an analog interface circuit, an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), and a bus interface under one housing. It is a combination of sensing elements with a microprocessor or microcontroller providing processing capabilities. A smart sensor is capable of multi-sensing, multi-tasking, and communication. The smart sensors market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period, with consumer electronics and industrial automation being the major end-user industries. The growing popularity of IoT devices and the increasing need for energy conservation are among the major factors contributing to the market's growth. Since the circuitry of digital sensors is similar to that of smart sensors, all digital sensors are considered smart sensors for this study.
