The Sensor design is based upon Infineon’s patented bulk micro-machined sensing technology which allows highly reliable measurements in harsh environments. The SP35 measures pressure, temperature, supply voltage and radial acceleration. The device is offered with a pressure range of 100–450 kPa.
The Infineon SP35 Tire Pressure Sensor incorporates all the major active functions of wheel-mounted TPMS in a single package. The integrated device, mounted on a printed circuit board with a battery and antenna, enables tier-one suppliers to meet the requirements of the new regulations. Its single package integrates an MEMS pressure sensor, acceleration sensor and temperature sensor with an 8-bit controller and wireless communication module. It eliminates the need for separate communication chips, thus reducing complexity and reportedly cutting costs by about 10 percent.
