Elmos Semiconductor AG: IC with integrated pressure sensor for airbag applications

(DGAP-Media / 16.10.2013 / 14:22)

E524.40: Internal PSI5 interface - extensive self test capability

With the E524.40, Elmos introduces a second-generation IC with integrated
pressure sensor and PSI5 interface. The pressure sensor is geared
especially towards automotive safety applications (side airbags and
pedestrian protection systems). The sensor detects sudden changes in
pressure independent of the average ambient air pressure. Both relative and
average air pressure are constantly analyzed by the IC. The IC complies
with the specifications according to AK-LV29 (VDA) and has been designed in
accordance with 'Functional Safety' ISO 26262.

The pressure sensor and the signal readout IC identify the dynamic pressure
change and communicate it digitally to the PSI5 interface. The diagnostic
data of sensor and IC are transmitted as well in order to monitor the
system status, thus complying with functional safety requirements.
Additionally extensive self test routines are implemented for diagnostic
functionality at system start and in operation. Self test capability
comprises both the sensor and the IC (analog part, DSP, ROM, and EEPROM).

The integrated EEPROM is designed to save calibration data, device ID, and
other freely programmable data. The system is delivered in a modified
SOIC20 package.

For the assembly of the PSI5 network, Elmos offers the interface components
E981.07 and E981.08 (dual and quad channel, respectively). Thus a complete
system can be configured with synchronized modules easily and quickly.
