MPR
SERIES
DESCRIPTION
The MPR Series is a very small
piezoresistive silicon pressure sensor
offering a digital output for reading
pressure over the specified full scale
pressure span and temperature range.
It is calibrated and compensated over a
specific temperature range for sensor
offset, sensitivity, temperature effects,
and non-linearity using an on-board
Application Specific Integrated Circuit
(ASIC). This product is designed to meet
the requirements of higher volume
medical (consumer and non-consumer)
devices, commercial appliance, and
industrial/HVAC applications.

• Meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D.1
Moisture Sensitivity Level 1
requirements: Allows avoidance of
thermal and mechanical damage
during solder reflow attachment and/
or repair that lesser rated sensors may
incur; allows long floor life when stored
as specified (simplifying storage and
reducing scrap); eliminates lengthy
bakes prior to reflow, and allows for
lean manufacturing due to stability
and usability shortly after reflow.
• Meets food safety certification for
North America, Europe and Asia (see
Table 2).

DIFFERENTIATION
• Application-specific design addresses
various application needs and
challenges.
• Digital output: Plug and play feature
enables ease of implementation and
system level connectivity.
• Total Error Band: Provides a more
comprehensive measurement of
performance over the compensated
temperature range, which minimizes
testing and calibrating every
sensor, thereby potentially reducing
manufacturing cost; improves sensor
accuracy and offers ease of sensor
interchangeability due to minimal part-
to-part variation. (See Figure 1.)
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
• Consumer medical: Non-invasive
blood pressure monitoring, negative-
pressure wound therapy, breast pumps,
mobile oxygen concentrators, airflow
monitors, CPAP water tanks, and
medical wearables
• Non-consumer medical: Invasive blood
pressure monitors, ambulatory blood
pressure measurement
• Industrial: Air braking systems, gas and
water meters
• Consumer: Coffee machines,
humidifiers, air beds, washing
machines, dishwashers
VALUE TO CUSTOMERS
• Very small form factor: Enables
portability by addressing weight, size,
and space restrictions; occupies less
area on the PCB.
• Wide pressure ranges simplify use.
• Enhances performance: Output
accelerates performance through
reduced conversion requirements and
direct interface to microprocessors.
• Value solution: Cost-effective, higher
volume solution with configurable
options.

FIGURE 1 . TEB COMPONENTS FOR THE MPR SERIES
Total Error Band (TEB) is a single specification that includes
the major sources of sensor error. TEB should not be
confused with accuracy, which is actually a component of
TEB. TEB is the worst error that the sensor could experience.
Honeywell uses the TEB specification in its datasheet
because it is the most comprehensive measurement of
a sensor’s true accuracy. Honeywell also provides the
accuracy specification in order to provide a common
comparison with competitors’ literature that does not use
the TEB specification.
Many competitors do not use TEB—they simply specify
the accuracy of their device. Their accuracy specification,
however, may exclude certain parameters. On their
datasheet, the errors are listed individually. When combined,
the total error (or what would be TEB) could be significant.

POWER CONSUMPTION AND STANDBY MODE
The sensor is normally in Standby Mode and is only turned on in response to a user command, thus minimizing power consumption.
Upon receiving the user command, the sensor wakes up from Standby Mode, runs a measurement in Active State, and automatically
returns to Standby Mode, awaiting the next command. The resulting sensor power consumption is a function of the sampling rate
(samples per second) as shown in Tables 6 and 7 and Figures 2 and 3.
