Pressure Sensors

Sensors for Side Crash Detection (SAB)

Barometric Air Pressure Sensors (BAP)

Manifold Pressure Sensor (MAP)

Integrated Pressure Sensor ICs

Infineon’s integrated pressure sensor family uses a unique design of multiple surface micro-machined capacitive sensor cell arrays, that allows to implement powerful features like the sensor self diagnoses. The monolithic integration onto one chip allows a state-of-the-art production using a standard automotive qualified BiCMOS process. The combination of sensor cell design with a fully digital signal conditioning and processing with the methods of a high volume standard production flow ensure a superior quality over lifetime.

Pressure Sensors for Automotive Applications

Today’s automotive applications are side crash detection, pedestrian protection, engine management (BAP, MAP, Turbo MAP, secondary air valve),fuel vapour, break booster and seat comfort. The next generation pressure sensors will offer digital interfaces like SPI, SENT and PSI5.

Pressure Sensors for Industrial & Consumer Applications

Infineon´s Pressure Sensors for industrial and consumer use can be used in applications such as altimeters, weather stations, gas meters, blood pressure monitors and many more. Our pressure sensors family is available with different pressure ranges and interface options (analog and digital) according to the needs of the individual application.
