Melexis Launches Low-Pressure Triphibian Pressure Sensors for EV Thermal Management and AI Data Center Cooling

Melexis has expanded its Triphibian pressure sensor portfolio by introducing new low-pressure variants intended for electric vehicle thermal management systems and artificial intelligence data center liquid cooling applications. Announced on July 9, the latest devices are engineered to deliver dependable pressure measurement across multiple media while supporting improved cooling system performance and making integration into various applications more straightforward. The new additions strengthen the company's pressure sensing portfolio for next-generation cooling technologies.

Low-pressure sensors developed for advanced cooling applications

The newly introduced Triphibian variants are optimized for systems operating at pressures of 2 bar or 4 bar. These compact, factory-calibrated sensors are designed to function in direct contact with gas, liquid, and frozen media, allowing them to operate across a broad range of thermal management environments. Their ready-to-install design minimizes calibration requirements during deployment, helping manufacturers accelerate development while maintaining accurate pressure monitoring.

Flexible integration supports simplified system design

The sensors are suitable for deployment as independent pressure sensing modules or can be integrated directly into equipment such as pumps and coolant distribution units. This flexibility enables engineers to reduce installation complexity while streamlining system architecture. By combining factory calibration with compact packaging, the sensors also help reduce assembly effort and improve consistency across cooling system implementations for electric mobility and advanced computing infrastructure.

Available models and future interface expansion

The new low-pressure variants are immediately available throughout the Triphibian family, including the MLX90830 Analog version, MLX90833 LIN version, and MLX90834 SENT version. Belgium-based Melexis also confirmed that additional SPI and I²C interface options are planned for introduction in 2027, further expanding compatibility with a wider range of electronic control systems and application requirements.
