A sensor apparatus is disclosed. A sense circuit is provided to convert
inputted physical quantity to electrical signal. An amplifier amplifies
an analog signal outputted from the sense circuit. An A/D converter
converts the output signal of the amplifier to digital data. A sensing
interval setup unit sets a sensing interval for the sense circuit. A
power supply unit supplies electric power to the sense circuit, the
amplifier and the A/D converter. The amplifier and the A/D converter
constitute an analog signal processing unit. A power supply control unit
is provided to control the power supply unit. A storage unit stores the
digital data outputted from the A/D converter every sensing interval of
the sensing interval. A data value change judgment unit changes the setup
of the sensing interval by the sensing interval setup unit. The data
value change judgment unit also changes the control mode of the power
supply control unit in response to judgment of value change between a
plural number of digital data which are designated from the digital data
being stored in the storage unit.
