MEMS Pressure Dies

The piezoresistive lnsenso Pressure sense Dies (IPD) are designed and specialized for a wide range of applications. Through 5 product lines the design, material and production process are optimized for their multiple target applications.

This ranges from high precision application with an excellent long-term stability, to highly robust application through cost efficient mobility application and strain gage dies.
