DESCRIPTION
The SM7221, SM7321 & SM7421 series is a digital, low pressure
MEMS sensor family offering state-of-the-art pressure transducer
technology and CMOS mixed signal processing technology to
produce a digital, fully conditioned, multi-order pressure and
temperature compensated sensor in JEDEC standard SOIC-16
package with a dual vertical porting option. It is available in both
compound gage or differential pressure configurations. With the
dual porting, a vacuum-gage measurement is possible to minimize
altitude errors due to changes in ambient pressure.
Combining the pressure sensor with a signal-conditioning ASIC in a
single package simplifies the use of advanced silicon micro-machined
pressure sensors. The pressure sensor can be mounted directly on a
standard printed circuit board and a high level, calibrated pressure
signal can be acquired from the digital interface. This eliminates the
need for additional circuitry, such as a compensation network or
microcontroller containing a custom correction algorithm.
Customer-specified pressure ranges and supply voltages are
available.
The SM7221, SM7321 & SM7421 series is shipped in sticks or tape &
reel.

Notes:
a. Tested on a sample basis.
b. Proof pressure is defined as the maximum pressure to which the device can be taken and still perform within specifications after
returning to the operating pressure range
c. Burst pressure is the pressure at which the device suffers catastrophic failure resulting in pressure loss through the device.

C Communications
1. SCL Clock frequency:
•
100kHz to 400kHz
2. Slave Address
•
The factory setting for the I
2
C slave address is 28HEX. The
part will only respond to the set address.
•
For the Read_DF3 data fetch command (Data Fetch 3
Bytes), the sensor returns three bytes in response to the
master sending the slave address and the READ bit (1): two
bytes of bridge data with the two status bits as the MSBs
and then 1 byte of temperature data (8-bit accuracy). After
receiving the required number of data bytes, the master
sends the NACK and stop condition to terminate the read
operation.
For the Read_DF4 command, the master delays sending the
NACK and continues reading an additional final byte to
acquire the full corrected 11-bit temperature measurement.
In this case, the last 5 bits of the final byte of the packet are
undetermined and should be masked off in the application.
The Read_DF2 command is used if corrected temperature is
not required. The master terminates the READ operation
after the two bytes of bridge data.
3. Read Operations
•
For read operations, the I
2
C master command starts with
the 7-bit slave address with the 8th bit = 1 (READ). The
sensor as the slave sends an acknowledge (ACK) indicating
success.
The sensor has four I
2
C read commands: Read_DF2,
Read_DF3, and Read_DF4. The following figures show the
structure of the measurement packet for three of the four
I
2
C read commands, which are further explained below.
•
•
•
3.1 I
2
C Read_DF (Data Fetch):
•
For the Data Fetch commands, the number of data bytes
returned by the sensor is determined by when the master
sends the NACK and stop condition.
