PMF2000 Series Mass Flow Sensor

PMF2000 Series Mass Flow Sensor

The PMF2000 Series of mass airflow sensors incorporate the latest MEMS and microelectronics innovations. The sensor die uses a pair of thermopiles to detect changes in temperature gradient caused by mass flow, delivering ultra-low noise-to-signal, and unsurpassed repeatability. The "solid-state" thermal isolation on the sensor die eliminates the need for surface cavities or fragile membranes, used in competing solutions, making the sensor resistant to clogging and pressure shock. The sensor's internal signal conditioning circuitry leverages an off-the-shelf microcontroller, providing proven reliability and low cost.
