KP108 is a pressure sensor system for the detection of side crashes in passenger cars. In this application, the pressure sensor is assembled in a module located within the car‘s side doors. When the door is compressed due to a side impact, the KP108 provides a signal pulse which is proportional to the pressure change inside the door. The height of the signal pulse depends on the relative pressure change. Therefore the output signal is independent of the ambient pressure.

The KP216K1409 is a miniaturized Analog Manifold Air Pressure Sensor IC based on a capacitive principle. It is surface micromachined with a monolithic integrated signal conditioning circuit implemented in BiCMOS technology. The sensor converts a pressure into an analog output signal. The calibrated transfer function converts a pressure of 15 kPa to 115 kPa into a voltage range of 0.5 V to 4.5 V. The chip is packaged in a “green” SMD housing. The sensor has been primarily developed for measuring manifold air pressure, but can also be used in other application fields. The high accuracy and the high sensitivity of the device makes it a perfect fit for advanced automotive applications as well as in industrial and consumer applications.

The KP229E2701 is a miniaturized Analog Manifold Air Pressure Sensor IC based on a capacitive principle. It is surface micromachined with a monolithic integrated signal conditioning circuit implemented in BiCMOS technology. The sensor converts a pressure into an analog output signal. The calibrated transfer function converts a pressure of 10 kPa to 300 kPa into a voltage range of 0.40 V to 4.65 V. The chip is packaged in a “green” SMD housing. The sensor has been primarily developed for measuring manifold air pressure, but can also be used in other application fields. The high accuracy and the high sensitivity of the device makes it a perfect fit for advanced automotive applications as well as in industrial and consumer applications.

The KP256 is a miniaturized Digital Barometric Air Pressure Sensor IC based on a capacitive principle. It is surface micromachined with a monolithic integrated signal conditioning circuit implemented in BiCMOS technology. The sensor converts a pressure into a 10-bit digital value and sends the information via the SPI interface. In addition, a temperature sensor is integrated on chip. Based on the received SPI command, the 10-bit temperature information will be transmitted via the SPI interface. A special reliability feature is the integrated diagnostic mode, which allows testing the sensor cells as well as the signal path. This diagnosis can be simply triggered with a SPI command. The chip is packaged in a “green” SMD housing. The sensor has been primarily developed for measuring barometric air pressure, but can also be used in other application fields. The high accuracy, high sensitivity and reliability features of the device makes it a perfect fit for advanced automotive applications as well as in industrial and consumer applications.
