Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) System
Authors: Ruan Lourens Microchip Technology Inc. Curtis Kell Kell Laboratories An auto-location system can dynamically detect the position of a specific sensor, which is useful when tires are rotated. The heart of the TPM system is the Sensor/Transmitter (S/TX) device and it is based on Microchip's rfPIC12F675.
INTRODUCTION
This document explains a typical tire pressure monitoring (TPM) system specifically intended for automotive use. It serves as a reference to design a real-world system based on various Microchip products. A TPM system primarily monitors the internal temperature and pressure of an automobile's tire.
