Munich—Epson Toyocom Corp. has developed an extremely small absolute pressure sensor dubbed the XP-6000CA, which employs a QMEMS pressure-sensing structure that allows the sensor to squeeze into a ...

Freescale Semiconductor recently announced a new sensor–the MPL115A–that delivers absolute barometric-pressure values as 10-bit values via either an SPI or an I2C port. The small sensor operates over ...

Distinguishing between pressure sensors can be challenging. The widespread use of synonymous terminologies like transducer, sensor, and transmitter only compounds the issue and makes pressure sensor ...

STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, has introduced the market's first MEMS water/liquid-proof absolute ...

Most engineers understand the concept of pressure. It’s a force, often measured in pounds, on a specific area. It is commonly listed in pounds per square inch (psi). But there are a variety of ...

Highly accurate pressure sensors with long-term stability are necessary for fuel efficiency and reduction of harmful emissions. Increasingly demanding requirements of piezoresistive sensors include ...

With no exposed corrodible metals, the MLX90818 absolute pressure sensor from Melexis survives rugged automotive under-the-hood applications. The device is factory-calibrated to cover a range of 1.0 ...

Packing two independent sensors in a single package, the Basic Dual Sensor (BDS) series is allegedly the market’s first pressure sensor capable of measuring both an absolute and differential pressure ...

Imagine a turbocharger trying to pressurize a carburetor with its small venturis and finicky floats and you can get some idea why electronic fuel injection opened the door to big boost, big power, big ...
