Product Brief
KP106
Integrated Pressure Sensor IC
for Side Crash Detection
Application
KP106 is a pressure sensor system for the detection of side crashes in passenger cars.
In this application, the pressure sensor is assembled in a module located within
the car’s side doors. When the door is compressed due to a side impact, the KP106
provides a signal pulse which is proportional to the pressure change inside the door.
The height of the signal pulse depends on the relative pressure change. Therefore the
output signal is independent of the ambient pressure.

The surface micro-machined capacitive pressure sensor KP106 is designed to provide the relative pressure as a digital Manchester
encoded output signal. This configuration is optimal for a single IC satellite system, where no further logic IC is used in
the door module.
