This chapter describes the features and operation of the Single Edge Nibble Transmission Extended Receiver Features module (SENT). The SENT protocol is unidirectional and uses single wire between two or more points to transmit signals from one or more sensors to a controller. SENT uses the open standard released by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and supports J2716 January 2010 and J2716 April 2016, and is mainly used for automotive applications. This protocol can transmit high resolution data at a low cost to the system. The SENT module utilizes a Master Trigger Pulse Generator to control and receive data from one or more sensors, using a configurable pulse signal. The received data can be stored directly into memory or a FIFO and read by the CPU or RTDMA.
