Low-Cost,
SO-8 Packaged Pressure Sensor

•
For High-Volume Applications
Ultra-Small, Low Cost OEM Pressure Package
DESCRIPTION
The SM5420 is a small outline SO-8
packaged pressure sensor. The sensor uses
SMI’s SM5108 micromachined,
piezoresistive pressure sensing chip that
has been optimized to provide the highest
possible accuracy for a package of this size.
This performance is achieved through
careful resistor placement and mechanical
configuration along with advanced MEMS
processing.
This sensor is intended for high volume
applications where cost is a critical factor,
such as consumer tire pressure gauges or
automotive tire pressure monitoring. The
SM5420 is available as an absolute
pressure sensor in full-scale ranges of 15
PSI, 30 PSI, 60 PSI, and 100 PSI. It is
designed to be surface-mounted on ceramic
or PC board substrates by high-volume
OEM manufacturers.
The SM5420 is available in a ported
configuration to allow positive positioning of
a pressure source over the inlet or in a non-
ported configuration to be used for sensing
general environmental pressures or with an
o-ring seal. The port position has been
chosen to minimize the chance of pressure
pulses directly impacting the face of the
sensor die for added long-term reliability in
hostile environments. The part comes with
gel over the die as standard; the part can be
ordered without gel in high volumes where
the maximum stability is required, such as in
barometric, weather station sensing
applications. Please contact SMI for more
information.
The SM5420 is shipped either in IC tubes or
in tape-and-reel.
