Most sensors needs some signal conditioner electronics before digitize the signal. Few examples are:

• Piezoelectric force sensors
• Geophone
• Thermocouple, ...

The signal conditioning electronics can have different functions:

• Amplification
• Isolation
• Filtering
• Excitation
• Linearization
