Automotive Microfused Silicon Strain Gage (MSG)
Hermetic Pressure Sensing


MSG sensors provide Pressure and Temperature output signals to the application’s ECU that is used to control various systems. The output is an analog or digital signal that reflects the pressure and temperature of the medium being measured in the application.
