Pressure Sensor IC for Seat Comfort Applications

The Infineon XENSIV KP466 is a miniaturized barometric air pressure sensor based on a capacitive principle. It is surface micromachined with a monolithic integrated signal conditioning circuit implemented in BiCMOS technology. Highly accurate, highly sensitive and reliable features make the sensor the ideal fit for advanced automotive applications, but also for industrial and consumer use cases.

Summary of Features

  • High accuracy pressure sensing, tailored for seat somfort application
  • Best in class low power consumption with dedicated power-down mode for energy saving
  • 10-, 12- or 14-bit resolution pressure and temperature values via SPI Interface
  • Integrated signal path diagnosis features
  • Green, small 4.5 mm x 5.1 mm 8-pin DFN package

Potential Applications

  • Automotive barometric air pressure sensor (BAP)
  • Automotive manifold air flow sensor (MAF)
  • Automotive battery monitoring system (BMS)
  • Automotive seat comfort system
  • Industrial control
  • Weather stations
