  • Publication number: 20250003819
    Abstract: An ultra-compact stacked differential pressure sensor is provided, which includes a differential pressure sensor stacked on an ASIC stacked on a substrate. The differential pressure sensor is connected to the ASIC by an inner ring and outer ring. The region between the inner ring and outer ring forms an isolation region. The ASIC may be connected to the substrate with glue. Each of the ASIC and substrate may have a through hole channel and the differential pressure sensor may have a back channel. The differential pressure sensor is exposed to a first pressure on a first side and a second pressure via the differential pressure back channel, the ASIC channel, and the substrate channel. The differential pressure sensor may generate an electrical signal based on a difference in pressures between the first environment and the second environment.

  • Patent number: 12025506
    Abstract: An ambient temperature sensor is provided that may be coupled to a PCB. The ambient temperature sensor includes a package including a first cap and an insulating structure. The insulating structure is formed of thermally insulating material, and the first cap and the insulating structure delimit a first cavity. A semiconductor device is included and generates an electrical signal indicative of a temperature. The semiconductor device is fixed on top of the insulating structure and arranged within the first cavity. The package may be coupled to the PCB so that the insulating structure is interposed between the semiconductor device and the PCB. The insulating structure delimits a second cavity, which extends below the semiconductor device and is open laterally.
