MPX5500
Rev 6, 05/2005
Integrated Silicon Pressure Sensor
On-Chip Signal Conditioned,
Temperature Compensated and
Calibrated
The MPX5500 series piezoresistive transducer is a state-of-the-art monolithic
silicon pressure sensor designed for a wide range of applications, but particularly
those employing a microcontroller or microprocessor with A/D inputs. This
patented, single element transducer combines advanced micromachining
techniques, thin-film metallization, and bipolar processing to provide an accurate,
high level analog output signal that is proportional to the applied pressure.
