MEMS technology for highest precision

Pressure sensor for occupant protection

Precise data for safer, cleaner and more economical driving Bosch Automotive Electronics division (AE) is one of the largest automotive semiconductor manufacturers in Europe. We are the undisputed market leader for automotive MEMS sensors (MicroElectro-Mechanical Systems) with a production of more than 160 million sensors a year. We design, manufacture and sell sensors, ASICs, ASSPs and power semiconductors, based on experience in automotive electronics components of more than 40 years. Our sensors reliably transform physical (e.g. pressure or acceleration) or chemical parameters (e.g. CO2 concentration) into electrical signals. The key technology for these sensors is micromachining, which is similar to the manufacturing methods in microelectronics. MEMS sensors can be made in large numbers at attractive prices.

High accuracy and fast crash information The pressure sensor SMD187 detects the pressure change in a side door of an automotive vehicle due to the deformation of the door during an impact. The sensor is designed as a component for mounting in a satellite sensor housing by the use of direct SMD assembly. A piezo-resistive pressure sensor element and a suitable electronic circuitry for the signal amplification and signal processing are integrated into one pressure sensor module. The sensor offers high accuracy and fast crash information. Customer benefits u Transfer of pressure change: 10 bit resolution u Advanced diagnosis capability (during operation) u Premold/mold package with standard SOIC16 footprint u Absolute pressure range: 50...126.5 kPa u Crash signal range: -5+15 % with respect to ambient pressure u Temperature: -40 C125 C u Digital output u Transfer of absolute pressure u Low noise u Supports PSI5 Standard u Lead-free

A sensor for reduction of fuel consumption The Climate Control Sensor is a spectroscopic sensor with MEMS detection for measuring the concentration of carbon dioxide inside the vehicles compartment. The sensor serves to control fresh-air supply in automotive AC systems and opens up the possibility of demand controlled ventilation for the first time. As a result, a large proportion of the air that has already been conditioned can be reused. This leads to significantly reduced energy consumption by the mobile air-conditioning system, hence lowering total fuel consumption. With the Climate Control Sensor, energy-saving air conditioners can be built that bring in fresh air, before an increased CO2 concentration in the passenger compartment can cause tiredness or reduced attention. Customer benefits u Reduction of AC fuel consumption by optimized ventilation u Recirculation management for improved air quality u System reliability of R744 air-conditioning systems u Small size u Lead-free u Fast and reliable gas measurement u High selectivity, no cross-sensitivity u Long-term stable and robust u Flexible signal processing
