Product Description
The KP120 is a miniaturized absolute pressure sensor IC based on the capacitive
principle. It is surface micromachined with a monolithic integrated signal conditioning
circuit realized in the state-of-the-art 0.8 µm BiCMOS technology. As the KP120 is a high
precision IC for cost critical solutions the chip is packaged in a low cost SMD housing.
High accuracy and high sensitivity enable the dedication in automotive applications as
well as consumer products.
In the automotive field the manifold air pressure (MAP) and barometric air pressure
(BAP) are important parameters to compute the air-fuel ratio provided to the engine and
for controlling spark advance to optimize engine efficiency.
The IC consists of a surface micromachined pressure sensor, a sigma-delta A/D-
converter, a digital filter and the SPI-interface. In normal operation, the applied pressure
has to be in the range between 10 kPa and 150 kPa and the KP120, KP120 Exxxx can
deliver output voltages between 0.25 V and 4.85 V.
