Sensing Solutions—Robust, Reliable Performance
FXTH870x TPMS Family
Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors 100-900 kPa
Overview
Freescale’s FXTH870s family of tire pressure monitoring sensors (TPMS) is the smallest, fully
integrated 7 x 7 mm package footprint on the market which is 40% smaller than Freescale’s
previous-generation QFN 9 x 9 mm package. It also provides the lowest transmitting power
consumption (less than 8 mA Idd), largest customer memory size (8 kB) and unique dual-axis
accelerometer architecture. Freescale’s TPMS solution integrates an 8-bit microcontroller
(MCU), pressure sensor, XZ-axis or Z-axis accelerometer and RF transmitter.
Freescale’s portfolio with pressure ranges of 100-450 kPa and 100–900 kPa support cars
and light trucks TPMS markets. These TPMS markets are mainly regulation driven with new
mandates, resulting in significant growth. Freescale continues to produce TPMS products
that meet the latest mandates with ease to accommodate customer requirements.
