摘要
Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) are gaining importance due to improved security standards in automotive industry. In active systems, the power consumption of the system is of utmost importance for a required lifetime of more than 10 years. The presented integrated circuit comprises high resolution pressure, temperature and voltage monitoring, low-power oscillators, a specialized DSP with RAM/ROM and an EEPROM to store calibration data. The continuously running low-power oscillator for internal wake-up timing is operated with 30 nA. Due to the extremely low-power consumption of all circuit blocks pressure measurements can be carried out in. short intervals (0.5 s). This enables the implementation of a new intelligent dynamic wake-up algorithm to optimize the power-intensive HF-transmission intervals at different driving situations. Thus additional rotation detectors are not needed anymore. The charge consumption without HF-transmission results into 48 mAh in 10 years.
