Description

The KP226E3408 is a miniaturized Analog Manifold Air Pressure Sensor IC based on a capacitive principle. It is

surface micromachined with a monolithic integrated signal conditioning circuit implemented in BiCMOS

technology.

The sensor converts a pressure into an analog output signal. The calibrated transfer function converts a

pressure of 15 kPa to 400 kPa into a voltage range of 0.35 V to 4.65 V.

The chip is packaged in a “green” SMD housing. The sensor has been primarily developed for measuring

manifold air pressure, but can also be used in other application fields. The high accuracy and the high

sensitivity of the device makes it a perfect fit for advanced automotive applications as well as in industrial and

consumer applications.
