DESCRIPTION
In contrast to traditional pressure-sensing chips the media only comes in contact with silicon materials. Therefore, the electronic structures on the front side of the die will not be affected during operation. The family has been qualified using AEC-Q100 Level 0 Automotive standards. This device is available in a full-scale range of 10 Bar and 20 Bar absolute (145 and 280 PSIA) and is ideal for OEM and highvolume applications.
