|
| |
Pressure Sensor
|
|
Pressure sensor chips are based on micro-machining technology, where the physical parameter being sensed (pressure) causes a temporary and reversible deformation to a specifically designed mechanical structure etched into the solid silicon. The output generated can be an analog voltage or current, or a digital signal (serial, parallel, etc.), and is proportional to the measured pressure. Depending on the specific requirements of the application, these sensors are manufactured as stand-alone transducers, signal conditioning chips, or integrated transducers that include signal conditioning and the sensor on the same die.
|
| |
Temperature Sensor
|
|
Temperature sensor chips measure temperature. The output generated can be an analog voltage or current, or a digital signal (serial, parallel, on-off thermostat, etc.) that is proportional to the measured temperature. Vendors classify IC temperature sensors according to the input source and output-signaling method. The temperature source to be measured is usually the IC's own package, but airflow can be measured with an on-chip heater that raises the package temperature above ambient. Remote temperature can be measured with a diode-connected transistor. On the output side, analog-output, thermostat-logic-output, and serial-digital-output signaling methods are in widespread use.
|
| |
Magnetic Sensor
|
|
Sensor chips that measure magnetic field strength. The output generated can be an analog voltage or current, or a digital signal (serial, parallel, etc.) that is proportional to the measured field. Magnetic sensors have many industrial uses, from measuring automotive position, to driving speed and current sensors. Low voltage battery-powered sensors are used in handheld instrumentation and in implanted medical devices.

MSOP 8
|
|
MSOP 8 products are packed in tape reel assemblies that include a carrier tape with embossed cavities for storing individual components. The carrier tape is made from dissipative polystyrene resin. The cover tape is a multilayer film composed of a polyester film, adhesive layer, heat-activated sealant, and anti-static sprayed agent. The reel is made of polystyrene plastic (anti-static coated or intrinsic) and individually bar coded. Reels are placed inside barcode-labeled boxes for shipping.
