NETWORK – ONLY SILICON AND GLASS EXPOSED
DESCRIPTION
The SM5112 is a silicon micro-machined,
piezoresistive pressure-sensing chip. The
SM5112 is designed for harsh environments
where absolute pressure needs to be
accurately measured. These devices are
available in full-scale ranges from 15 to 300
psi and are ideal for OEM and high volume
applications.
Provided in die form, these sensors can be
mounted on ceramic or PC board substrates
as part of an OEM system. They also may
be packaged into proprietary, or application
specific sensor lines.
Die are probed, inked and diced, and
shipped on tape.
Custom pressure ranges available in high-
volume applications.

Notes:
1.
Bridge may be driven with positive or negative voltage
as long as Vsub is not connected. Positive output for positive pressure
applied to bottom side of die when bridge is driven with positive voltage.
2.
Measured at 5V constant voltage excitation.
3.
Measured from 0 to 70 C
4.
Defined as best straight line.
