I²C was designed to communicate over short distances between printed circuit boards and is a simple, 8-bit serial data bus. In the meantime, it is not only PCB-mountable pressure sensors that use the I²C signal for data transfer, but also pressure sensors remote from …

Integration of a ceramic pressure sensor
| Christian Wirl | Know-howIn space- and price-critical applications, the ceramic pressure sensor offers a compact and cost-effective solution for implementing pressure measurement which is embedded in the customer's application. However, there are some details to consider when integrating the …
Sensor integration – notes on mechanics and EMC
| Christian Wirl | Know-howWhen integrating pressure sensors and pressure sensor modules, there are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to mechanics and EMC protection: Mechanics Depending on the installation situation and intended use of the sensor module, its design will differ; …
Integration of a pressure sensor element – error compensation of signal for zero point and span
| Christian Wirl | Know-howThe installation of a sensor element or a corresponding assembly has the advantage that very compact dimensions are possible. However, some points need to be taken into account, which are an additional effort for the customer compared to using a fully adjusted sensor …
Which are the available configuration levels for pressure sensors?
| Christian Wirl | PressureThe various possible configuration levels for a pressure measurement solution are not defined conceptually in any standard. At WIKA we have chosen the following terminology: A pressure sensor (also pressure transmitter) delivers a standardised, …
