Across multiple electronic applications, the world's leading semiconductor suppliers, the world's largest manufacturer of MEMS, the world's largest consumer electronics and mobile MEMS suppliers, the world's largest supplier of automotive MEMS STMicroelectronics (STMicroelectronics, referred to as ST) Further expand environmental sensors Product lineup, launching new groundbreaking pressure sensor . The new product LPS22HB is the world's smallest pressure sensor With high measurement accuracy, stable package design, ultra-small size and other advantages.

Current pressure sensor Integrated into more and more consumer electronics and wearable devices, such as smartphones, tablets, sports watches, smart watches, and bracelets, enabling floor detection and enhanced location services for targeted applications (location) -based services) Improve dead-reckoning accuracy and create more opportunities for smartphone applications such as weather analyzers and health sports monitors. Therefore, market analyst firm HIS predicts that by 2018, global pressure sensors for consumer electronics Sales will be close to 1 billion.

LPS22HB is not only the world's smallest pressure sensor Or the only fully-molded plastic package (fullymoldedpackage) on the market, leading the industry in thermal performance and mechanical strength (impact resistance > 20,000g), while improving measurement performance and perfectly solving the contradiction between working current and noise. problem. This is all thanks to STMicroelectronics , a new MEMS technology called "Bastille". The technology is packaged in a HLGA (Holland Land Grid Array) plastic package with a surface area of ​​only 2x2 mm and a thickness of less than 0.8mm, making it the smallest package on the market. This revolutionary packaging technology has passed the STMicroelectronics LPS25HB 2.5 x 2.5mm pressure sensor The inspection, because it is designed to be dust-free and waterproof, eliminates the need for metal or plastic covers and additional mechanical isolation grilles.

STMicroelectronics high-end sensor And FrancescoItalia, general manager of analog device products, said: "Using our industry-leading MEMS manufacturing process, advanced packaging technology and ASIC design capabilities, STMicroelectronics' LPS22HB is a one-piece molded plastic package with a size of only 3mm3, unique. Pressure sensor . We have increased the pressure sensor again The benchmark of the market allows our customers to bring more value to their customers. "

New pressure sensor A number of extraordinary features, such as enhanced temperature compensation, allow applications to maintain stable performance in a constantly changing environment; absolute pressure range of 260 to 1260 hPa covers all possible realities Application height (from the deepest mine to the summit of Mufeng); low power consumption of less than 5μA; pressure noise below 1Pa RMS.

The LPS22HB is expected to begin mass production in the third quarter of 2015 and will open an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) application sample from now on.
