DESCRIPTION
The 13 and 43 are temperature compensated, piezoresistive silicon pressure sensors packaged in a
TO-8 configuration. It provides excellent performance and long-term stability.
Gage and absolute pressure ranges from 0-2 to 0-250 psi are available. Integral temperature
compensation is provided over a range of 0-50°C using laser-trimmed resistors. An additional laser-trimmed
resistor is included to normalize pressure sensitivity variations by programming the gain of an external
differential amplifier. This provides sensitivity interchangeability of ±1%.
Please refer to the 13 and 43 1 psi datasheets for low pressure applications.
