Posifa Technologies Introduces New MEMS Pirani Vacuum Transducer Designed for Cost-Effective OEM Integration

Device Packages a MEMS Pirani Sensor and Microcontroller-Based Measuring Electronics in a Compact PCB Assembly
March 26, 2021

SAN JOSE, Calif. — March 24, 2021 — Posifa Technologies today introduced its new PVC4000 series MEMS Pirani vacuum transducer. Designed for cost-effective OEM integration, the device consists of a surface-mount MEMS Pirani sensor and microcontroller-based measuring electronics — all packaged in an ultra-compact PCB assembly featuring a connector-terminated wire harness.

The PVC4000’s sensor element is based on Posifa’s second-generation MEMS thermal conduction chip, which operates under the principle that the thermal conductivity of gas is proportional to its vacuum pressure. The transducer’s microcontroller-based measuring electronics amplify and digitize the senor’s signal, providing output via an I²C … Read More → "Posifa Technologies Introduces New MEMS Pirani Vacuum Transducer Designed for Cost-Effective OEM Integration"
