STMicroelectronics' pressure sensor family is enabled by key features including enhanced temperature compensation which allows apps to perform consistently in changing environments, an absolute pressure range from 260 hPa to 1260 hPa that covers all possible user altitudes (from the deepest mines to the top of Mount Everest), low power consumption less than 4 µA, and pressure noise lower than 1 Pa RMS, with water resistant packages, and packages as small as 2 mm x 2 mm.

STMicroelectronics' pressure sensors are increasingly being used in smartphones, tablets, and wearable technology, such as sports watches, smart watches and fitness bands enabling accurate floor detection, and enhanced location-based services, allowing more accurate dead-reckoning calculations and opening the door to new smartphone apps, such as weather analyzers, health, and sports monitors.
