Micrel and Balda Battle Escalating Gas Costs With Tire Pressure Measurement System (TPMS) IC Solution
Gadgets, Site Feeds, aving.net August 20th, 2008
(Nasdaq: MCRL), an industry leader in analog, high bandwidth and Ethernet IC
solutions, today announced that Balda Solutions Malaysia, has chosen Micrel’s
MICRF112 and MICRF211 QwikRadio(R) IC solutions as its devices of choice for
inclusion into new TPMS systems for aftermarket applications. The system
consists of a minimum of four sensor transmitters (MICRF112 used) and a
Receiver Display system (RF211 used). The application senses the tire pressure
and temperature continuously and then alerts the driver when any of the tires’
pressure or temperature reaches beyond a specified set level, potentially
saving the driver significant gas and associated tire “wear and tear” costs.
“We are pleased to have chosen Micrel’s RF solutions for use in our most
advanced applications,” stated Mr.
