What sensors are in a smart HVAC system?
In addition to increased efficiency, a smart heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system will have many new features. Recent air flow requirements and proper room pressures to cope with the COVID-19 virus have brought increased interest to HVAC systems. Before COVID-19, one market research report forecast compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1% between […]
SMI pressure sensor package enables portable applications
TE Connectivity (TE) has developed a minimal footprint SMI SO-10 pressure sensor package with vertical port, which is now in full production. Inside the housing, a MEMS pressure sensor, based on TE’s proprietary silicon technology platform, and an advanced signal-conditioning IC are combined to provide a fully pressure calibrated and temperature compensated output. Covering gauge […]
SMI pressure sensors offer low pressure sensing ranges
There is an increasing demand for lower pressure sensing capabilities in the industrial and medical markets. From HVAC and gas flow, to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), ventilation, and patient monitoring applications, the ability to detect small pressure changes is critical. This demand requires pressure sensors to be highly accurate and provide long-term stability in […]
