Infineon Broadens Pressure Sensor Offerings; Introduces KP124 & KP125 High Accuracy Pressure Sensors

  
    
  
  
    
      Infineon Technologies (FWB:IFX) (NYSE:IFX) today introduced two new 
      industrial sensors, the KP124 and KP125 Pressure Sensor. On display in 
      the Infineon booth # 327 at the Sensors Expo, Rosemont, IL (June 9-11, 
      2008), these devices expand the family of high-accuracy barometric 
      pressure sensors Infineon supplies for demanding industrial applications.
    
    
      “The KP124 and KP125 are extensions of 
      Infineon’s proven pressure sensing technology 
      and are ideally suited for process control, gas flow, consumer and other 
      industrial pressure measurement applications,” 
      said Andre Wankelmuth, Pressure Sensor Marketing Manager for Infineon 
      Technologies. “These sensors are specifically 
      tailored for industrial applications in more rugged environments.”
    
    
      The KP124 and KP125 are surface mount devices (SMD) that permit 
      convenient package design and manufacturability and the sensor packages 
      are “Green” for 
      environmentally conscious design. The sensors’ 
      accuracy is ± 1.2 kPa (± 
      1.5 percent F.S.) over an operating range of 40 to115 kPa at 
      temperatures spanning -40°C to 125°C. 
      Sensor transfer functions are calibrated and the outputs are ratiometric 
      relative to the power supply voltage. Infineon has also incorporated 
      open supply, open ground and broken pressure cell detection and inverse 
      polarity protection in these sensors to assure customers more reliable 
      products.
