Product details
Overview
SP370251160XTMA3 from Infineon Technologies is a monolithic RF tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor IC with integrated pressure and temperature sensing, 3-axis accelerometer, and ASK/FSK RF transmitter operating at 315 MHz or 433.92 MHz. It delivers ±10 kPa pressure accuracy, -40°C to 125°C operating range, and 12-bit ADC resolution for direct OEM TPMS module integration in passenger vehicles.
For engineers reviewing the SP370251160XTMA3 datasheet, SP370251160XTMA3 pinout, SP370251160XTMA3 application, or SP370251160XTMA3 equivalent, key selection criteria include RF output power compliance (≤10 dBm), integrated MEMS pressure sensor calibration stability, low-power wake-up via acceleration threshold detection, and AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification for automotive under-hood deployment.
Technical Context
The SP370251160XTMA3 integrates a piezoresistive MEMS pressure sensor, bandgap temperature sensor, and triaxial capacitive accelerometer on a single die. Its RF section uses a fully integrated ASK/FSK modulator with programmable data rate (up to 20 kbps) and carrier frequency selectable between 315 MHz and 433.92 MHz via external resistor.
Digital functionality includes a 16-bit RISC microcontroller core with 4 kB flash and 256 B RAM, configurable wake-up logic based on pressure delta, temperature drift, or motion events, and CRC-16 protected telemetry frame formatting compliant with SAE J2716 (TPMS standard).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pressure Range | 100–1400 kPa: supports full passenger vehicle tire inflation range including high-pressure spare tires. |
| Pressure Accuracy | ±10 kPa @ 25°C: enables precise leak detection and real-time PSI/bar reporting without external calibration. |
| RF Carrier Frequency | 315 MHz or 433.92 MHz: factory-configurable to match regional regulatory requirements (e.g., FCC Part 15 vs. ETSI EN 300 220). |
| RF Output Power | ≤10 dBm: meets global ISM band emission limits while ensuring ≥10 m reception range in metal-rich wheel well environments. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C: qualified for direct mounting inside aluminum or steel valve stems without thermal derating. |
| Supply Voltage | 1.9 V to 4.5 V: compatible with primary lithium thionyl chloride (LiSOCl₂) cells over full discharge curve. |
| Wake-up Trigger | Programmable acceleration threshold (0.1–2.0 g): enables motion-activated transmission to extend battery life beyond 10 years. |
Pinout & Package
SP370251160XTMA3 is housed in a 16-pin QFN package (4 mm × 4 mm × 0.85 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with wettable flank terminations for automated optical solder-joint inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for analog sensors, RF stage, and MCU; requires low-inductance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| RFOUT | RF signal output | Direct connection to matching network and PCB trace antenna; no external PA required. |
| OSCIN/OSCOUT | Crystal oscillator interface | Drives 32.768 kHz tuning fork crystal for RTC and low-power timing control. |
| ACC_X/Y/Z | Accelerometer analog outputs | Provide ratiometric voltage signals proportional to axis-specific g-force; digitized internally by 12-bit SAR ADC. |
| TEMP | Temperature sensor output | Analog voltage proportional to die temperature; used for pressure compensation and thermal event detection. |
| PRESS | Pressure sensor output | Differential analog signal from MEMS bridge; amplified and offset-corrected before ADC conversion. |
| WAKE | External wake-up input | Active-low interrupt pin for external trigger (e.g., service mode button or diagnostic tool pulse). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| Commercial Vehicle Trailer Monitoring | Motorcycle TPMS Integration |
Use Scenario: Deployed in dual-wheel trailer axles where vibration and temperature extremes exceed standard passenger car conditions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Operates in extended temperature mode (−40°C to +125°C) with enhanced pressure hysteresis filtering to suppress false alarms from road shock. Use Value: Reduces trailer blowout risk by detecting pressure loss >20 kPa within 5 minutes, meeting FMVSS 138 compliance thresholds. | Use Scenario: Embedded in lightweight alloy valve stems of high-performance motorcycles where space and weight constraints limit component count. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uses low-g wake-up (0.2 g threshold) to detect lean-angle-induced lateral acceleration and transmit pressure only during cornering events. Use Value: Extends battery life to >7 years by eliminating idle transmissions while maintaining safety-critical alert responsiveness. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar TPMS sensor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NXP SLF3702A | Lacks integrated accelerometer; requires external 3-axis MEMS part for motion detection. | Suitable only for static-mount or hub-based TPMS designs without motion-triggered wake-up. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs motion-aware functionality and board space allows discrete sensor integration. |
| TE Connectivity MS5839-02BA | Pressure/temperature sensor only; no RF, MCU, or accelerometer - requires external transceiver and controller. | Used in custom TPMS modules where OEM mandates proprietary RF protocol or encryption scheme. | Choose for full design flexibility and security customization, accepting higher BOM count and validation effort. |
Compared with SLF3702A and MS5839-02BA, SP370251160XTMA3 provides highest integration density and fastest time-to-market for standard SAE J2716-compliant TPMS, trading off some protocol flexibility for guaranteed AEC-Q100 qualification and production-ready firmware stack.

FAQ
What is the maximum RF transmission distance achievable with SP370251160XTMA3?
The SP370251160XTMA3 achieves ≥10 meters line-of-sight transmission range using its integrated 315/433.92 MHz transmitter and PCB trace antenna, verified per ISO 21848 testing with standard vehicle body shielding. Range depends on antenna layout, ground plane size, and local RF noise; no external amplifier is supported or required.
Does SP370251160XTMA3 support FSK modulation only, or is ASK also available?
SP370251160XTMA3 supports both ASK and FSK modulation schemes, selected via configuration bits in the device's non-volatile memory. FSK is recommended for improved noise immunity in electric vehicle environments, while ASK offers lower current consumption for extended battery life in conventional ICE applications.
Can the internal pressure sensor be recalibrated in-system after soldering?
No. The MEMS pressure sensor is factory-calibrated across temperature and pressure ranges, with coefficients stored in one-time-programmable memory. In-system recalibration is not supported; however, software-based temperature compensation using the on-die sensor ensures ±10 kPa accuracy over −40°C to +125°C without user intervention.
Is SP370251160XTMA3 compatible with existing TPMS receiver modules using the SAE J2716 standard?
Yes. SP370251160XTMA3 generates SAE J2716-compliant telemetry frames with 32-bit unique ID, 12-bit pressure, 10-bit temperature, and status flags. Its FSK data rate (10–20 kbps) and Manchester-encoded payload match legacy receiver demodulation requirements without protocol translation.
