Patent ID: 8297127

Claim:
A pressure sensor assembly suitable for mounting to a printed circuit board, comprising: a pressure sensor die including: a front side; a back side; a pressure sensing diaphragm; one or more piezoresistors coupled to the pressure sensing diaphragm for sensing a pressure induced stress in the pressure sensing diaphragm; two or more electrical bond pads positioned on the front side of the pressure sensor die, with each of the two or more electrical bond pads electrically coupled to one or more of the piezoresistors; a housing having a mounting side and a sensing side, with the sensing side defining a pressure port; and the pressure sensor die secured to the housing, with the back side of the pressure sensor die facing the sensing side of the housing with the pressure sensing diaphragm exposed to the pressure port, and with the front side of the pressure sensor die positioned adjacent to the mounting side of the housing with the two or more electrical bond pads of the pressure sensor die being accessible from outside of the housing such that the two or more electrical bond pads are exposed and suitable for soldering directly to two or more corresponding bond pads of the printed circuit board.
