It is surface-micromachined with a monolithic integrated signal conditioning circuit, implemented in state-of-the-art 0.5 micron robust BiCMOS technology. Because the KP236 is a high-precision IC for cost critical solutions, the chip is packaged in a &quot;green&quot; low-cost SMD (surface-mounted device) PG-DSFO-8-16 housing. The sensor was developed for measurement of barometric air pressure (BAP). This is an important parameter in engine management applications to compute the air-fuel ratio provided to the engine and for controlling spark advance to optimize engine efficiency. High accuracy and robustness make it an ideal fit for automotive and industrial applications.</p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;"></p><table style="width:748px;"><tbody><tr><td style="line-height:19px;font-size:13px;font-weight:bold;width:375px;">Features</td><td style="font-size:13px;font-weight:bold;width:365px;">Applications</td></tr></tbody></table><p style="margin:0;"></p><table><tbody><tr><td style="padding-left:5px;padding-right:10px;width:355px;" valign="top"><ul style="list-style-type:none;padding:0px;margin:0px;"><li>Full compensation</li><li>Broken wire detection</li><li>High sensitivity and linearity</li><li>Customized transfer functions</li><li>Optional output clamping</li><li>Green SMD package PG-DSOF-8-16</li><li>Inverse polarity protection</li></ul></td><td class="extraMerkmalSpalte" style="padding-left:15px;padding-right:10px;width:345px;" valign="top"><ul style="list-style-type:none;padding:0px;margin:0px;"><li>Engine management</li><li>Seat comfort (KP236N6165)</li><li>Barometric pressure</li><li>Medical devices</li><li>Altitude compensation</li></ul></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;"><a href="http://www.infineon-designlink.com/images/article/diagram_000052.jpg"><img loading="lazy" alt="image" src="http://www.infineon-designlink.com/images/article/diagram_000052.jpg" /></a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: sp:infineon, ic, kp236, bicmos, pressure_sensor, pgdsfo816</div>
