TDK Corp. has introduced a new generation of barometric pressure sensors designed for smartphones, tablets, drones and smart home appliances.
The ICP-20100 sensor improves accuracy, long-term drift and temperature stability of TDK’s SmartPressure product family.
The ICP20100 barometric pressure sensor can be configured for ultra-low noise or ultra-low power or anywhere in-between.

The sensor can be configured for ultra-low noise or ultra-low power performance and can perform anywhere in-between, TDK said.
The SmartPressure family uses capacitive microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) architecture for low power consumption and lower noise compared to competing pressure sensors, TDK said.
The ICP-20100 sensor can operate over wide temperature ranges and deliver measurement accuracies required for 3D geolocation and emergency location services, mobile indoor/outdoor navigation, sport and fitness activity tracking and altitude-hold in drones.
