Product details
Overview
KP226E3408 from Infineon Technologies is an analog absolute pressure sensor IC based on capacitive MEMS sensing with monolithic BiCMOS signal conditioning. It delivers ratiometric voltage output (0.35 V to 4.65 V) across 15–400 kPa, achieves ±3.8 kPa accuracy at 0–100 °C, supports -40 °C to +140 °C operation, and integrates broken wire detection for automotive manifold air pressure measurement.
For engineers reviewing the KP226E3408 datasheet, KP226E3408 pinout, KP226E3408 application, or KP226E3408 equivalent, this sensor provides calibrated analog pressure data with clamping, EEPROM-based calibration storage, OBD-ready diagnostics, and automotive-qualified reliability in a green PG-DSOF-8-16 SMD package.
Technical Context
The KP226E3408 implements a third-order polynomial digital linearization engine operating on digitized sensor cell output, with temperature compensation and offset/gain correction derived from factory-stored EEPROM parameters (90+22 bit). Its analog output is ratiometric to VDD, enabling supply-voltage rejection in host systems.
Clamping thresholds (VDD and GND) enable open-bond detection: when VDD or GND is disconnected, internal JFETs force VOUT to rail-level voltages-0 V or VDD-allowing microcontroller-based fault identification without external circuitry. The 1 kHz sampling rate and 12-bit ADC resolution support high-fidelity pressure acquisition within its specified range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pressure Range | 15 kPa to 400 kPa absolute - covers full intake manifold vacuum-to-boost range in gasoline and diesel engines. |
| Output Voltage | 0.35 V to 4.65 V ratiometric - scales linearly with VDD; enables direct ADC interfacing without external reference. |
| Accuracy | ±3.8 kPa (0–100 °C) - meets stringent AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements for engine control unit (ECU) feedback loops. |
| Operating Temp | -40 °C to +140 °C - qualified for under-hood placement with no derating up to 140 °C ambient. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V automotive power rails and noise-tolerant against ripple. |
| Package | PG-DSOF-8-16 - surface-mount, moisture-sensitive level 3, RoHS-compliant "green" housing with dual GND pins for low-impedance grounding. |
| Diagnostic Feature | Built-in broken wire detection via clamping - eliminates need for external comparators or pull-up/down resistors in OBD-II implementations. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-DSOF-8-16 - 8-pin, small-outline flat no-lead package with exposed thermal pad, dual ground terminals (Pins 6 and 8), and test/programming pins isolated for production use only.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 TEST | Digital test interface | Used only during factory calibration; must be left floating in end application to prevent ESD path coupling or ground faults. |
| 2 CLOCK / VPROG | Serial programming clock / programming voltage input | Enables EEPROM write access during calibration; not functional in normal operation; leave unconnected. |
| 3 DATA IN | Serial programming data input | Factory-only interface for calibration parameter loading; no runtime function; must be left floating. |
| 4 DATA OUT | Serial programming data output | Read-only during calibration; inactive during operation; floating connection required for robustness. |
| 5 VDD | Positive supply terminal | 4.5–5.5 V nominal supply; powers analog front-end, digital logic, and EEPROM; decoupling capacitor mandatory. |
| 6 GND | Primary circuit ground | Low-impedance return path for analog and digital sections; must be connected to system ground plane. |
| 7 VOUT | Analog pressure output | Ratiometric voltage proportional to pressure (0.35–4.65 V); drives 10 kΩ minimum load; buffered output stage. |
| 8 GND | Secondary circuit ground | Dedicated ground pin for improved noise immunity and thermal dissipation; must be connected separately to ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitive MEMS sensing element | Monolithic silicon diaphragm with integrated electrode array enables long-term stability and minimal hysteresis (<0.2% FS). |
| On-chip digital linearization | Third-order polynomial engine using EEPROM-stored coefficients eliminates need for host MCU computation or lookup tables. |
| EEPROM with FEC protection | 90+22-bit calibration memory with forward error correction ensures single-bit errors are corrected and multi-bit errors trigger safe output (GND). |
| Open bond detection (OBD) | Hardware-level fault signaling via clamped VOUT (0 V or VDD) upon VDD/GND interruption - reduces diagnostic firmware complexity. |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 0 compliant (−40 °C to +140 °C), qualified per ISO/TS 16949, and validated for 10,000-hour lifetime at 140 °C. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute pressure sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPX5700AP | Analog output (0–5 V), ±1.5% FS accuracy, no built-in clamping or EEPROM; requires external compensation. | Lacks OBD capability and temperature compensation - demands host MCU linearization and fault logic. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs diagnostic robustness and calibration traceability requirements. |
| SP120-015A | Digital I²C output, ±1.0% FS accuracy, integrated temperature sensor, but limited to 0–125 °C operation. | Requires I²C interface and firmware stack; unsuitable for high-temp under-hood locations beyond 125 °C. | Prefer for space-constrained consumer designs where digital interface simplifies routing and reduces ADC channel count. |
Compared with MPX5700AP and SP120-015A, the KP226E3408 uniquely combines automotive-grade temperature range, factory-calibrated ratiometric analog output, hardware-level OBD, and EEPROM-protected coefficients - reducing BOM count, firmware overhead, and validation effort in safety-critical pressure feedback loops.

FAQ
What is the recommended PCB layout practice for KP226E3408 to ensure signal integrity?
Use separate copper pours for Pins 6 and 8 (GND), both connected to a low-impedance ground plane via multiple vias. Place a 100 nF X7R ceramic capacitor between Pin 5 (VDD) and Pin 6 (GND), located ≤2 mm from the package. Avoid routing noisy signals near Pin 7 (VOUT); keep analog traces short and shielded if adjacent to switching nodes.
Does KP226E3408 require external calibration after soldering?
No. The KP226E3408 is fully calibrated at wafer and package level before shipment. All offset, gain, temperature coefficients, and third-order linearization parameters are stored in on-chip EEPROM with forward error correction. No post-solder calibration or trimming is needed for production use.
Can KP226E3408 be used in differential pressure configurations?
No. The KP226E3408 is an absolute pressure sensor with a sealed reference cavity. It measures pressure relative to vacuum, not between two ports. For differential applications, Infineon offers the KP226E3409 variant, which shares the same package and pinout but features dual-port sensing architecture.
What happens to VOUT during a GND disconnect event?
During GND disconnect, internal JFETs in the broken-wire detection circuit become self-conducting, pulling VOUT strongly toward VDD. This rail-to-rail shift (to ~VDD) is detected by the host microcontroller as an overvoltage condition, enabling immediate fault flagging without additional hardware.
