The MP3V5050 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.

1. 1.0 kPa (kiloPascal) equals 0.145 psi.
2.Device is ratiometric within this specified excitation range.
3.Offset (V
off
) is defined as the output voltage at the minimum rated pressure.
4.Full Scale Output (V
FSO
) is defined as the output voltage at the maximum or full rated pressure.
5.Full Scale Span (V
FSS
) is defined as the algebraic difference between the output voltage at full rated pressure and the output voltage at the
minimum rated pressure.
6.Accuracy (error budget) consists of the following:
Linearity: Output deviation from a straight line relationship with pressure over the specified pressure range.
Temperature Hysteresis: Output deviation at any temperature within the operating temperature range, after the temperature is cycled to and
from the minimum or maximum operating temperature points, with zero differential pressure applied.
Pressure Hysteresis: Output deviation at any pressure within the specified range, when this pressure is cycled to and from the minimum or
maximum rated pressure at 25°C.
TcSpan: Output deviation over the temperature range of 0° to 85°C, relative to 25°C.
TcOffset: Output deviation with minimum pressure applied, over the temperature range of 0° to 85°C, relative to 25°C.
Variation from Nominal: The variation from nominal values, for Offset or Full Scale Span, as a percent of V
FSS
at 25°C.
7.Response Time is defined as the time for the incremental change in the output to go from 10% to 90% of its final value when subjected to a
specified step change in pressure.
8.Warm-up Time is defined as the time required for the product to meet the specified output voltage after the Pressure has been stabilized.
9.Offset Stability is the product's output deviation when subjected to 1000 hours of Pulsed Pressure, Temperature Cycling with Bias Test.

On-chip Temperature Compensation and Calibration
Figure 3
illustrates the Differential/Gauge Sensing Chip in
the basic chip carrier (Case 482A). A fluorosilicone gel
isolates the die surface and wire bonds from the environment,
while allowing the pressure signal to be transmitted to the
sensor diaphragm.
The MP3V5050 series pressure sensor operating
characteristics, and internal reliability and qualification tests
are based on use of dry air as the pressure media. Media,
other than dry air, may have adverse effects on sensor
performance and long-term reliability. Contact the factory for
information regarding media compatibility in your application.

pressure input. Typical, minimum, and maximum output
curves are shown for operation over a temperature range of
0° to 85°C using the decoupling circuit shown in
Figure 4.
The
output will saturate outside of the specified pressure range.
Figure 4
shows the recommended decoupling circuit for
interfacing the output of the integrated sensor to the A/D input
of a microprocessor or microcontroller. Proper decoupling of

PRESSURE (P1)/VACUUM (P2) SIDE IDENTIFICATION TABLE
The two sides of the pressure sensor as the Pressure (P1)
side and the Vacuum (P2) side. The Pressure (P1) side is the
side containing fluorosilicone gel which protects the die from
harsh media. The MP3V pressure sensor is designed to
operate with positive differential pressure applied, P1 > P2.
The Pressure (P1) side may be identified by using the
