To meet emerging tire-pressure monitoring system mandates and torque sensing applications, Transense Technologies is integrating TMS320F28x digital signal controllers (DSCs) from Texas Instruments into what may be the automotive industry’s first

To meet emerging tire-pressure monitoring system mandates and torque sensing applications, Transense Technologies is integrating TMS320F28x digital signal controllers (DSCs) from Texas Instruments into what may be the automotive industry’s first piezo-electric surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor based systems. Operating in harsh or remote and industrial applications, the sensor units operate wirelessly, require no power source, and typically measure 11 mm x 3 mm and weigh less than 2g. Reportedly, employing the F28x-enabled SAW TPMS reduces accidents due to tire under inflation or failure and enhances fuel efficiency by up to 10%.
