Analog Microelectronics presents the new pressure sensor series AMS 5935 for mobile applications

Portable, battery-powered devices are ever-present in our daily lives, but the trend in medical instrumentation and industrial measurement technology is also towards smaller, mobile end devices. Intelligent power-saving concepts and components are needed to enable these devices to run for as long as possible. 

For use in battery-powered applications, Analog Microelectronics has developed the AMS 5935 18-bit board-mount digital pressure sensor. With their extremely low current consumption (250 nA in sleep mode and 2 mA during measurements) and supply voltage range of 1.7 V to 3.6 V, the AMS 5935 high-precision pressure sensors are perfect for battery-powered microcontroller applications. They have an integrated I2C / SPI interface, which can be used to read calibrated pressure and temperature values. [...]
