ST PRODUCE WORLD’S SMALLEST PRESSURE SENSOR

LPS22HB Fits in Fully Molded Package with Smallest Footprint

A new MEMS pressure sensor from STMicroelectronics (ST) Europe’s largest producer of semiconductor chips, is thought to be the world’s smallest, which allows it to fit into a fully molded package for more protection and more precise measurements.

“The LPS22HB is built in ST’s new MEMS technology called ‘Bastille’ that allows the use of fully molded HLGA (Holed Land Grid Array) packages, resulting in the smallest footprint measuring just 2×2 mm and reaching a thickness of 0.76mm.”
