Silicon Microstructures (SMI) releases SM5415 and SM5455 pressure sensors
ˇ
Full-scale pressure ranges from 0.15 psi to 100 psi in SIP package
ˇ
Differential pressure configuration available

Small package takes up minimal PC Board space
Milpitas, Ca. 16 December 2002 – Silicon Microstructures, Inc. (SMI) today announced that it has released the SM5415 and SM5455 pressure sensors. These pressure sensors use SMI’s MEMS-based piezoresistive pressure sensor element in a new, small footprint Single In-Line Package (SIP). These products are available in gauge, absolute, or differential configurations and have barbed pressure ports for secure tubing attachment. This small footprint package is available in a differential pressure configuration as well as for gauge and absolute pressure. Straight or bent pins are available.
These uncompensated pressure sensors have the same excellent performance characteristics of SMI’s popular SM5410 and SM5450 (DIP packages), including the unique 0.15 psi full-scale pressure for very low pressure measurement. This uncompensated sensor is incorporated by users into their own signal conditioning electronics. The SIP configuration is used for through-hole mounting on PC Boards.
These products are for use in a wide range of OEM sensing applications including medical equipment, HVAC, level detection, barometric pressure monitoring, altimeters and industrial control. The SM5415 is available for pressure ranges 0-5 psi up to 0-100 psi and the SM5455 is available for pressure ranges from 0-0.15 psi up to 0-3 psi.
“These sensors were designed in response to customer requests for small-footprint differential package configurations for our uncompensated pressure sensor family,’” said Henry Allen, VP of Engineering for SMI. “This leadframe package provides a low cost, rugged solution for PC board mounting applications.”
Background: SMI develops and manufactures MEMS-based silicon pressure sensors and custom microstructures. Customers range from high-volume automotive to companies requiring precision sensors for medical and industrial applications. SMI has all of the manufacturing capability and processes required to design, develop and fabricate a wide range of MEMS-based sensor devices. Combining parent ELMOS’ advanced circuit and SOI technologies and SMI’s sensors leads to integrated smart sensor modules. The Elmos group’s advanced automated packaging capabilities at Eurasem B.V (NL) complete the capability, especially for the fast growing automotive sensor market.
