Question:

A pressure sensor in an electronic sphygmomanometer

I would like to know the principle of the simple pressure sensor (except the single chip microcomputer) and some main parameters.

Answer:

Pressure sensors generally have capacitive and piezoresistive ones. Capacitance uses the change of capacitance between two pieces of metal to correspond to the pressure value, and the piezoresistive type uses the change of resistance value to correspond to the value of the pressure.
