Pressure sensors

As a fundamental physical force, pressure governs key processes in both the environment and advanced engineered systems. Pressure sensors measure force per unit area and convert it into an electrical signal. They are essential for machines and digital systems to monitor critical environmental and process variables such as altitude, fluid levels, gas flow, and safety events. ST’s MEMS pressure sensors act as a "sixth sense", translating pressure into precise, actionable digital data. Our recently expanded portfolio features high-performance, highly reliable devices alongside our ultra-low power technologies, delivering unparalleled accuracy across consumer, industrial, and automotive markets.

ST's pressure sensors combine state-of-the-art MEMS technology with integrated intelligence and the market's most rugged designs.

  • Expanded automotive safety: Our portfolio has been significantly enhanced with high-reliability, AEC-Q100-qualified sensors for critical systems, including automotive safety pressure sensors for side crash detection and airbag deployment. These sensors are developed to meet up to ASIL D functional safety compliance.
