Advantage PressurePro, the supplier of tyre management and TPMS technology offerings has announced that it has chosen Freescale Semiconductor, a leading provider of embedded processing solutions, as its primary provider of TPMS chips. The announced selection, which will utilise Freescale’s FXTH8715 TPMS technology featuring world-class accuracy and small form factor, brings Freescale’s market leading technology to PressurePro’s standard and large bore (OTR) Sensors and further powers PressurePro’s TPMS+ product platform.

“We’re excited about our move to Freescale’s TPMS family,” stated Jeromy Mogharbel, PressurePro’s Director of Engineering. “Freescale is renowned in the automotive sensing sector and they stand behind their technology, something we credit highly in those we choose to with. Further, their new offerings give us added capabilities that we intend to fully utilise to help keep our offerings the gold standard in TPMS.”

Included in these added capabilities is Freescale’s high range and accuracy for both temperature and pressure, as well as built in accelerometers. “Capitalising on these capabilities, PressurePro has been able to enhance temperature readings to a resolution of 1°C, adding greater protection and savings for customers without compromising their Sensor’s market leading battery life.”

“We are very pleased with Advantage Pressure Pro’s FXTH8715 choice and appreciate the opportunity to contribute to their creation of outstanding TPMS end-products that help optimise the reliability, safety and fuel efficiency of trucks and large vehicles,” said Bob Johnson, Business Development Manager of Freescale’s Sensor Division.
PressurePro’s new Sensor lineup, featuring Freescale’s FXTH8715 technology, is expected to be released in Q3 2015.
