Melexis TPMS Wins Excellence in Product Design for Automotive at Elektra Awards

Melexis entered the Excellence in design category with its MLX91804, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) integrated circuit. This third generation TPMS IC is 60% smaller and draws three times lower power (in sleep mode) than any competing solution available. It incorporates a sophisticated microcontroller and an advanced pressure sensing element, as well as energy efficient wireless transceivers for communication with the vehicle.
 
Monitoring tire pressure is now an essential part of modern vehicle design and global rollout of TPMS is increasing all the time.
 
The attributes shown by the MLX91804 will facilitate the next generation of TPMS deployment in automobiles, as it needs just half the space and delivers three times lower sleep mode power consumption figures than competitors.
