How does sensor packaging adapt for challenging applications?
At the device level, packaging for microelectromechanical (MEMS) sensors is often performed by an outsourced assembly and test (OSAT) company. The sensors could include accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers and microphones as well as pressure, temperature, infrared, biomedical, chemical and gas sensors. The first level of chip packaging formats includes cavity land grid array (LGA), molded cavity […]

This device series offers design engineers excellent performance for pressure ranges of ±1 inH2O through ±30 inH2O, and now 5 psi to 150 psi […]
What can you do with a water-resistant pressure sensor?
At Sensors Expo 2018, a product marketing engineer for ST Microelectronics demonstrates how a water-resistant pressure sensor mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) can be submerged in water and provide accurate readings. With this capability, it has potential applications in wearable devices, altimeters and barometers for portable devices, GPS applications, weather station equipment, Industry […]
How can sensing be distributed in a smart building?
At Sensors Expo 2018, Masakazu Shiinoki, a field application engineer from the MEMS Sensor Business Unit of Omron shows how different microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensing technologies can be used in a building. The three (ground, first and second) floors use barometric (absolute pressure), airflow and differential pressure sensors. In addition, the first floor has an […]
How do you design a winning pressure sensor demo?
At Sensors Expo 2018, Caleb Kim from ROHM Semiconductor explains a visually intriguing display in his booth. A ROHM pressure sensor was used to build a game. Whenever the ball portion of the game is struck, the pressure sensor attached to the ball measures the difference in pressure. The harder the ball is hit, the […]
