MEMS microphones
In this forum you can post your questions, comments and feedback about Infineon’s XENSIV™ MEMS microphones. Our high performance microphones can be used in a variety of application such as earbuds, headphones, smartphones or laptops for high quality audio pickup.
Pressure Sensors
Our XENSIV™ family of digital absolute barometric pressure sensors gives designers the best choice when it comes to mobile and wearable devices. Highlights include small form factors to facilitate system integration, highest precision and relative accuracy over a wide temperature range, fast read-out speeds via the serial I2C/SPI interface, and low power consumption to ensure longer battery lifetimes. All of our air sensing solutions have a FIFO buffer that can store the last 32 measurements. Since the host processor can remain in sleep mode for a longer period between readouts, the FIFO buffer can reduce system power consumption further.
Speed (Magnetic sensor)
In this forum you can post your questions, comments and feedback about the XENSIV™ Speed sensors. This sensor family is based on integrated Magneto Resistive (ixMR) or hall-based technologies in order to determine linear and rotational speed. Our Speed sensors can be used with ferromagnetic gear tooth wheels or encoders to measure speed and position and they are essential components for the function of safety and powertrain applications like rotating shafts. Here you can also find the links to the latest board pages, documents and FAQs.

What is the magnetic hysteresis of the TLI5590 sensor? Does it differ on the two bridges?
Hi friends,
TLE5012B E5000 is showing "System error" in "Safety Word" after reading the angle value every time.
However, Status Register (that is at 00H) doesn't show any of the errors corresponding to "S_VR; S_DSPU; S_OV; S_XYOL; S_MAGOL; S_FUSE; S_ROM; S_ADCT"
Refer: Infineon-TLE5012B_Exxxx-DataSheet-v02_01-EN.pdf page 29
Thank you for providing insight on why this "System error" is observed in "Safety Word", how to overcome it.

What is the difference between configuring full measurement as 0, or 1 in Lib_Meas_Fast_Sample function?

Show LessHello!
I have designed a PCB that uses the SP490-01-11 tire pressure monitoring sensor. I would like to program the sensor but have run into some problems.
According to the documentation available here: https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/product/evaluation-boards/sp4x_prog_adapter/ the SP4X_PROG_ADAPTER should be used to program the IC, the programming adapter is currently not available to purchase anywhere. Are there any alternative programmers I could use?
Based on the quick start guide I should be able to write code, compile and flash it to the IC using Keil μVision, but even after installing the plugin there is no SP490 in the list of targets. How can I add it?
Thank you for the help in advance.
Show LessHi,
I would like to ask if anyone has tried connecting multiple kits of EVAL AHNB DIGITALV01 into a PC. The goal here is to connect 6 microphone kits so that I can have a single output fed into the pc and into Audacity. Is there any hardware/inteface you can recommend. thank you!
Show LessDear,
i have couple of question on pressure sensor KP264 and usage of Diag1\Diag2 .
1- The Diag1 and Diag2 test shall be triggered at start-up or after start-up by means of Diag SPI commands ?
2- The use case UC2 in the safety manual mention a tsafety= 1ms. Does it means that the pressure measurement is available 1ms after the Acquire pressure SPI command? (So opposite to the UC1 where the system shall wait 5 ms before reading the response of a Pressure SPI command).
Show LessHello community,
I need to calculate the MTBF value of my desgin. Therefore I need the reliability data of the TLE4906K or similar. Do you hagve corresponding data for a hall sensor e.g. SN29000?
Thank you in advice.
We bought SP4X_DEV_KIT. I am trying to communicate with SP400-15-11 sensor and CC1101 SubGHz transceiver. I can see it's broadcasting on 433MHz. But i can't see the data packets the SP40 is sending.
There is very little information about SP40.
I use CC-Debugger with CC1101 and SmartRF Studio 7.0 from TI. I am sharing my SmartRF Studio 7.0 setting parameters in the attachment.
Which parameters is wrong? How can I build communication CC1101 with SP40?
Show LessHello,
We have TLE4921-5U in a back biased double output speed sensor application but it is not recommended for new designs. Cost has increased and I have been asked to find a off the shelf drop in replacement.
Is there a drop in PN you can recommend?
is there an EOL situation in the horizon for TLE4921-5U?
Can you direct me to a sales representative to understand if cost price is defined globally or per area ( production facilities are in China. Price increased in the region) Wondering is North America has a diferent piece price.
Show LessI registered on MyICP, but I can't find any example code to use in the SP40 DevKit. Where can I find?
