Product details
Overview
FXTH87EH02DT1 from NXP Semiconductors is a fully integrated tire pressure monitoring sensor (TPMS) IC featuring an 8-bit S08 MCU core, on-die pressure sensor, optional XZ- or Z-axis accelerometer, internal 315/434 MHz RF transmitter with OOK/FSK modulation, and 16 kB FLASH + 512-byte RAM. It operates in automotive wheel environments with low-power measurement cycles and supports LF wake-up via differential LFA/LFB inputs.
For engineers reviewing the FXTH87EH02DT1 datasheet, FXTH87EH02DT1 pinout, FXTH87EH02DT1 application, or FXTH87EH02DT1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its QFN-24 package with pressure port, dual-axis accelerometer configuration, RF output buffer size (256-bit), programmable data encoding (Manchester/Bi-Phase/NRZ), and integrated voltage reference for ADC10 calibration.
Technical Context
The FXTH87EH02DT1 implements a dedicated TPMS system-on-chip architecture with hardware state machines for autonomous pressure/accelerometer sampling and RF transmission sequencing-reducing MCU intervention and power consumption. Its RF subsystem uses a PLL-based fractional-N divider with external 26 MHz crystal (XI/XO pins) to generate precise 315/434 MHz carriers.
Measurement integrity is maintained through separate analog (AVDD/AVSS) and RF (RFVSS) ground domains, star-connected decoupling, and internal bandgap reference feeding a six-channel 10-bit ADC10. The device supports STOP1/STOP4 low-power modes, real-time interrupts at intervals from 2–128 ms, and LF receiver activation via LFA/LFB differential input for external trigger-based wake-up.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Core | S08 8-bit MCU with SIM and interrupt controller - enables deterministic real-time control of sensor acquisition and RF transmission timing. |
| Memory | 16 kB FLASH + 512-byte RAM + 64-byte parameter registers - sufficient for firmware, calibration data, and runtime variables in sealed TPMS modules. |
| RF Output | 315/434 MHz OOK/FSK transmitter with 256-bit variable-length buffer - supports flexible packet formats for regional TPMS protocols (e.g., SAE J2952). |
| ADC | 6-channel, 10-bit ADC10 with internal voltage reference - provides calibrated digitization of pressure, temperature, and accelerometer signals without external references. |
| Accelerometer | Optional XZ- or Z-axis configuration with adjustable offset - enables motion-triggered wake-up and orientation-aware pressure reporting in rotating wheel assemblies. |
| Power Modes | STOP1 (deep sleep, RAM retention off) and STOP4 (fast wake-up, full regulation) - allows trade-off between battery life (10+ years) and response latency (< 10 ms). |
| LF Interface | Differential LFA/LFB inputs with ~500 kΩ input impedance - enables robust reception of 125 kHz LF commands from vehicle base stations for diagnostics and relearn. |
Pinout & Package
FXTH87EH02DT1 is housed in a 7 × 7 mm QFN-24 package with exposed thermal pad and integrated pressure port oriented upward (per Figure 3). Pin 1 (PTB1) is located at top-left when pressure port faces up and ID feature is visible on top lid.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PTA0–PTA3, PTB0–PTB1 | General-purpose I/O | Seven multipurpose GPIOs; four support STOP4 wake-up interrupt and internal pullup/pulldown; two configurable as ADC10 inputs; two as TPM1 timer inputs. |
| LFA / LFB | LF receiver differential input | High-impedance (≈500 kΩ to VSS) inputs for 125 kHz LF coil interface - enables vehicle-initiated wake-up and programming without battery drain. |
| RF | RF energy output | Direct connection point for matching network and antenna - delivers modulated 315/434 MHz signal with no external PA required. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar tire pressure monitoring sensor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| FXTH871H09DT1 | Same FXTH87E family; differs in pressure range calibration (0–1200 kPa vs. 0–900 kPa) and default accelerometer axis (Z-only vs. XZ-selectable). | Targeted at heavy-duty truck tires with higher pressure ratings; lacks XZ-axis flexibility for motion-aware algorithms. | Select FXTH87EH02DT1 when dual-axis motion detection and mid-range pressure (≤900 kPa) are required for passenger/light-truck applications. |
| SP370-315 | Infineon SP370 family; 315 MHz only; no integrated pressure sensor - requires external piezoresistive element and signal conditioning. | Used in legacy designs where modular sensor + ASIC approach is preferred; higher BOM cost and larger PCB footprint. | Choose FXTH87EH02DT1 for single-chip integration, reduced assembly steps, and guaranteed sensor-to-ASIC matching over temperature. |
Compared with FXTH871H09DT1 and SP370-315, FXTH87EH02DT1 offers superior integration density, factory-calibrated pressure/accelerometer correlation, and unified firmware control - reducing validation effort and improving long-term drift performance in automotive wheel environments.

FAQ
What is the pressure measurement range supported by FXTH87EH02DT1?
The FXTH87EH02DT1 supports a calibrated pressure range of 0–900 kPa (0–130 psi), optimized for passenger car and light-truck tire applications. This range is factory-trimmed and stored in on-chip parameter registers; it does not require external scaling or software compensation. The FXTH87EH02DT1's monolithic pressure transducer maintains ±1.5 kPa total error band over –40°C to +125°C, as verified in NXP's production test flow.
Does FXTH87EH02DT1 include an integrated temperature sensor?
Yes, FXTH87EH02DT1 includes an on-die temperature sensor connected to the ADC10 module. It provides direct die-temperature readings with ±2°C accuracy across –40°C to +125°C, enabling real-time compensation of pressure sensor offset and sensitivity drift. The temperature value is accessible via dedicated ADC channel and used automatically in NXP's reference firmware for pressure linearization.
Can FXTH87EH02DT1 operate without an external crystal?
No, FXTH87EH02DT1 requires an external 26 MHz fundamental-mode crystal connected to XI/XO pins to drive its PLL-based RF transmitter. The internal oscillators (HFO, MFO, LFO) do not provide sufficient frequency stability for compliant 315/434 MHz RF transmission. Crystal load capacitance and PCB layout must follow NXP's layout guidelines in Section 4.3 of the FXTH87ERM to meet FCC/ETSI spectral mask requirements.
How is the accelerometer configured on FXTH87EH02DT1?
The FXTH87EH02DT1 supports either XZ-axis or Z-axis-only accelerometer configurations, selected at manufacturing via laser trimming of internal fuses. The XZ option enables motion-triggered wake-up and rotation-direction detection; the Z-only option reduces current draw by disabling the X-axis sensing element. Configuration is fixed per unit and cannot be changed in-field - verify ordering code suffix (e.g., "H02" denotes XZ-capable variant).
What debug interface does FXTH87EH02DT1 support?
FXTH87EH02DT1 supports Background Debug Mode (BDM) via the BKGD/PTA4 pin, compatible with standard HCS08 BDM tools. It enables full memory access, register inspection, breakpoint setting, and flash programming without halting system clocks. In production, BKGD/PTA4 functions as output-only GPIO; debug entry requires pulling the pin low during power-on reset - no additional pins or protocols are needed.
