This week’s review is a bit different from normal. And that’s because the board at the center of this evaluation system, the EB01-SPI, really isn’t the showstopper. This week’s showstopper is the ND Series of five piezoresistive MEMS pressure sensors that connect to it over, you guessed it, the serial peripheral interface (note that there’s an I2C variant of the board, too).

Superior Sensor Technology announced that Dwyer Instruments is using the HV210 pressure sensor in its Series DP3 Wireless Differential Pressure Module for measuring air flow and velocity in HVAC equipment.

The integration of many components onto a single die revolutionized the consumer electronics industry. Instead of each feature having its own integrated circuit (IC), a system-on-a-chip IC integrates these distinct functions on a single die or substrate in order to reduce power, shrink the size and lower the cost of a product.
