Waterproof barometric sensor IC for industrial equipment and compact IoT devices introduced by ROHM
KYOTO, Japan – ROHM Semiconductor in Kyoto, Japan, is introducing the waterproof BM1390GLV(-Z) compact barometric pressure sensor integrated circuit (IC) for industrial equipment and compact IoT devices.
The barometric pressure sensor resists the effects of temperature fluctuations and mechanical stress, and combines MEMS and control circuitry to deliver IPX8 waterproof performance in a 2-by-2-by-1-millimeter package.
Barometric pressure sensors have become popular in wearables and smart phones for indoor navigation, and for acquiring altitude data in activity meters. In recent years, as applications have expanded, demand increased for small waterproof barometric pressure sensors that resist external disturbances.
The device has a built-in temperature compensation function, and ceramic packaging minimizes fluctuations of device-specific characteristics caused by mechanical stress during board mounting.
These features enable accuracy barometric pressure measurement in applications requiring waterproof performance in environments exposed to large temperature changes.
