Melexis unveils accurate automotive pressure sensor
Summary
This accuracy is not impacted by the sensor integration thanks to the PCB-less packaging.” Very accurate and stable pressure measurements allow optimal engine management to guarantee fuel savings and emission reductions. The MLX90824 and MLX90822 consist of a sensor readout circuit, digital hardware, voltage regulators and SENT or analogue output drivers, plus all the essential passive components. Piezo-resistive elements implanted into the diaphragm are configured to create a Wheatstone bridge that generates a signal. “Access to stable and accurate data on pressure as well as temperature enable long-term engine management across the full lifetime of vehicles. This positively influences fuel saving and emission reductions,” states Karel Claesen, Product Manager Pressure Sensors.
