Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017102210A1] The invention relates to a pressure sensor (1) for determining a pressure measurement variable, comprising at least one housing (2), a pressure sensor element (3) which is arranged in said housing (2), a lighting means (4) likewise arranged in said housing (2), and a control/analysis unit (8). The pressure sensor element (3) has a semiconductor material and a measuring membrane, and a first pressure (p1) is applied to a first face of the measuring membrane (5) and a second pressure (p2) is applied to a second face of the measuring membrane (5) such that said measuring membrane (5) undergoes a pressure-dependent deflection. The measuring membrane (5) comprises at least one integrated resistance element (6), and the control/analysis unit (8) detects an electric signal (10) with the aid of the integrated resistance element (6) in order to determine pressure measurement variables. The lighting means (4) optically excites the pressure sensor element (3), and the control/analysis unit (8), using a change in the electric signal (10) resulting from said optical excitation, determines a statistical pressure value inherent to the first and/or second pressure and implements correction or compensation of the pressure measurement variable with the aid of said statistical pressure value.
