    摘要: A method of powering one or more electronic devices in a tire monitoring system using a tire pressure based energy scavenger is provided. With this method, a tire is rotated on a surface to generate pressure changes within the tire. These pressure changes are then converted into electrical energy with a transducer and the energy is stored. The electrical energy or stored electrical energy can then be used to power one or more electronic devices in a tire monitoring system, such as a tire pressure sensor, temperature sensor, acceleration profile sensor, and/or a tire wear monitor. A tire monitoring system with a tire pressure based energy scavenger is also provided.

The system includes one or more Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS)-based sensors, including a MEMS-based pressure sensor; a MEMS-oscillator-based wireless signal transmitter; and a microcontroller, where the microcontroller processes the data generated by at least one of the MEMS-based sensors, controls at least one of the MEMS-based sensors, and controls the encoding and timing of transmission of data from the wireless signal transmitter. Preferably, the MEMS-based sensors, MEMS-oscillator-based wireless signal transmitter, and microcontroller are integrated onto one or more chips in one or more packages. The system also preferably includes a MEMS-based motion sensor, a low frequency (LF) receiver, an IC-based voltage sensor, a voltage regulator, a temperature sensor and a polarization voltage generator. Thus, the disclosed tire pressure sensor system is high in functionality, yet small in size.

    摘要: A hermetic media interface for a sensor package is disclosed. Preferably, the hermetic media interface is incorporated into a pressure sensor package for interfacing directly to fluid and/or gaseous media. In one embodiment, the pressure sensor package includes a semiconductor die and a pressure port that are housed in a pre-molded plastic package. A eutectic solder is coupled between the semiconductor die and the pressure port to solder the same to the semiconductor die. The semiconductor die may be metallized to enhance solderability. In an alternative embodiment, the pressure port is made from one or more plastic materials and the pressure port is attached to the semiconductor die with an adhesive. An integral stress-isolation region may optionally be incorporated on the semiconductor die.
