Automotive Absolute Pressure Sensor

Description

The NSPAS3 is a series of calibrated absolute pressure sensors developed by NOVOSENSE, primarily designed for applications in the automotive industry, including vacuum boost and Auto TMAP (Turbocharger Map) applications. Here are the key features and specifications of the NSPAS3 series:

Features:

1. Automotive-Grade Calibration: The NSPAS3 series uses an automotive-grade ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) to calibrate and compensate the MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) sensor element. This calibration process ensures accurate and reliable pressure measurements.
2. Wide Pressure Range: The sensors in this series are capable of measuring pressure signals ranging from 10kPa (kilopascals) to 400kPa, covering a broad range of pressure levels often encountered in automotive applications.
3. Customizable Output Range: The NSPAS3 series provides an analog output signal in the range of 0 to 5 volts (0~5V). This output range can be customized to suit specific application requirements, allowing flexibility in signal processing and integration.
4. Integrated Packaging: The series integrates and packages both the ASIC and the MEMS sensor element into a single device. This integration reduces the overall package size, making it suitable for space-constrained automotive applications.
5. High Initial Accuracy: These sensors offer high initial accuracy, ensuring precise pressure measurements at the start of their operational life.
6. Robust Performance: The NSPAS3 series is designed to perform reliably under harsh automotive temperature and stress conditions. It is engineered to minimize drift over its operational lifetime, providing consistent and stable performance.
7. Reliability Testing: The sensors undergo reliability testing according to the AECQ100 standard. This standard ensures that the sensors can withstand the rigorous requirements of the automotive industry, including temperature extremes, vibrations, and other environmental stressors.

Applications:

The NSPAS3 series is well-suited for various automotive applications, including but not limited to:

• Vacuum Boost Sensing: These sensors can be used to monitor vacuum levels in engine systems, ensuring optimal engine performance.
