Pressure sensors

45

Pressure sensors
For pressures up to 1800 bar (180 Mpa)

Ratiometric signal evaluation

(referred to supply voltage).

Self-monitoring of offset and
sensitivity.

Protection against polarity
reversal, overvoltage, and
short circuit of output to supply
voltage or ground.

High level of compatibility
with media since this only
comes into contact with
stainless steel.

Resistant to brake fluids,
mineral oils, water, and air.
Application
Pressure sensors of this type are used
to measure the pressures in automotive
braking systems, or in the fuel-distributor
rail of a gasoline direct-injection engine,
or in a diesel engine with Common Rail
injection.

Only for 0 265 005 303

This sensor differs from conventional
sensors due to the following diagnostic
functions:
Offset errors
Amplification errors
can be detected by comparing two signal
paths in the sensor.
Storage conditions
Temperature range
30...+60 C
Relative air humidity
0...80 %
Maximum storage period
5 years
Through compliance with the above
storage conditions, it is ensured that the
sensor functions remain unchanged.
If the maximum storage conditions are
exceeded, the sensors should no longer be
used.

Design and function

Pressure measurement results from the
bending of a steel diaphragm on which are
located polysilicon strain-gauge elements.
These are connected in the form of a
Wheatstone bridge. This permits high
signal utilisation and good temperature
compensation.
The measurement signal is amplified in an
evaluation IC and corrected with respect to
offset and sensitivity. At this point, temperature compensation again takes place so
that the calibrated unit comprising
measuring cell and ASIC only has a very
low temperature-dependence level.
Part of the evaluation IC is applied for a
diagnostic function which can detect the
following potential defects:
Fracture of a bonding wire to the
measuring cell.
Fracture anywhere on any of the signal
lines.
Fracture of the bridge supply and
ground.
