The precise measurement of pressure is a requirement of many applications in different fields of the market. From
an altimeter in the consumer area to gas meters in the industry to engine management in the automotive field, the
requirements of the application towards pressure range, accuracy and type of output signal will be different from
system to system.
With the long experience of Infineon as a semiconductor company, we are able to offer a wide portfolio of pressure
sensors of different types and different pressure ranges. Infineon’s integrated pressure sensor family uses a
unique design of multiple surface micro-machined capacitive sensor cell arrays, that allows implementation of
powerful features like sensor self diagnostics. 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
fully digital signal conditioning and processing with the methods of a high volume standard production flow ensure
superior quality over lifetime.
Infineon’s pressure sensors can be classified as absolute pressure sensors, where the output signal is
proportional to the applied pressure, or relative pressure sensors, where the sensor output is proportional to a
change of the applied pressure. The following application note will give an overview about some new applications
in the market and will give some suggestions of Infineon’s pressure products.
