• Provides enhanced sensor interchangeability-there is minimal part-to-part variation in accuracy
Industry-leading accuracy
Extremely tight accuracy of ±0.25 %FSS BFSL (Full Scale Span Best Fit Straight Line) reduces software needed to correct system inaccuracies, minimizing system design time:
• Avoids additional customer calibration
• Helps to improve system efficiency
• Often simplifies software development
High burst pressures
• Promotes system reliability and reduces potential system downtime
• Can simplify the design process.
High working pressure ranges
Allows ultra-low pressure sensors to be used continuously well above the calibrated pressure range.
Industry-leading flexibility
Modular, flexible design with many package styles (with the same industryleading stability), pressure ports, and options simplify integration into the device manufacturer's application.
Wide variety of pressure ranges
From ±1.6 mbar to ±10 bar | ±160 Pa to ±1 MPa | ±0.5 inH2O to 150 psi provide support for many unique applications. Meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020E moisture sensitivity level 1 requirements
• Allows the customer to avoid the thermal and mechanical damage during solder reflow attachment and/ or repair that lesser rated products would incur
• Allows unlimited storage life, when inside sealed moisture bag as specified (<30ºC/85 %RH), simplifying storage and reducing scrap
• Never requires lengthy bakes prior to reflow
• Stable and usable shortly after reflow process allows for lean manufacturing
Optional internal diagnostic functions
• May reduce the need for redundant sensors in the system
• Detects most internal failures including burst sensors
Energy efficient
Extremely low power consumption (less than 10 mW, typ.):
• Reduces system power requirements.
• Enables extended battery life
• Optional sleep mode available upon special request
Output: ratiometric analog; I2C- or SPI-compatible 14-bit digital output (min. 12-bit sensor resolution)
Accelerates performance through reduced conversion requirements and the convenience of direct interface to microprocessors.
Small size
Miniature 10 mm x 10 mm [0.39 in x 0.39 in] package is very small when compared to many board mount pressure sensors:
• Occupies less area on the PCB
• Typically allows for easy placement on crowded PCBs or in small devices REACH and RoHS compliant Liquid media option
• Provides robustness in environments with condensing humidity
• Compatible with a variety of nonionic fluids
• Available for pressure ranges above 40 mbar | 4 kPa | 20 inH20
