NimbleSense
The Superior Architecture for Sensing Pressure


Superior Sensor has created an innovative architecture enabling engineers to move beyond a piece-meal approach to a fully integrated module combining the MEMS sensor with additional circuitry and software. This approach is driven by intelligent software that is programmable for each end application. We call this architecture NimbleSense, and it is the industry’s first System-in-a-Sensor. This approach is the same as IC designers have used in designing many of the complex SoCs that power today’s smartphones, automobiles, data centers, etc.

The NimbleSense architecture enables product designers to create highly differentiated advanced pressure sensing systems from a technology toolbox consisting of many building blocks. This methodology improves system performance, while providing enhanced features and cost-optimized manufacturing.

Core Technology


The NimbleSense architecture’s overarching goal is to knock out every bit of noise. Noise is anything interfering with the desired signal, including long-term drift, thermal errors, thermal or pressure hysteresis, etc. The result is an architecture having a very clear signal and practically no noise. This leads to incredible accuracy, TEB and long-term stability. 

You typically see a 5 to 10x performance increase over other solutions. From this advantage we add unique building blocks providing application specific features for various industrial, HVAC and medical devices.


Application Specific Building Blocks

Flexibility is at the core of the NimbleSense architecture. This unique technology allows you to quickly prototype and design the sensor into your product, support multiple product lines with one particular sensor, add new capabilities and features via software updates and reduce system cost through lower component count and greater product reliability.

These building blocks provide significant design flexibility and greatly speed up time to market. With this System-in-a-Sensor method, you can quickly and easily develop the pressure sensing solution required for your specific end product.
