FXPS7250X - Pressure Sensor Evaluation Board
Active8 in stock

Overview

The BRKTSTBAPA7250S is a specialized breakout board designed to evaluate the FXPS7250X absolute pressure sensor. It provides a simple hardware interface to access the sensor's analog output, which is calibrated for a wide pressure range of 15 kPa to 400 kPa. This board is particularly useful for engineers prototyping automotive manifold or tank pressure monitoring systems.

Why Choose This Part

The board simplifies prototyping by breaking out the analog signal of the high-performance FXPS7250X sensor to standard headers. Its wide measurement range up to 400 kPa makes it versatile for both naturally aspirated and turbocharged engine applications. The integrated design reduces the need for custom PCB fabrication during the initial proof-of-concept phase.

Applications

Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)
Monitoring intake manifold air and gas mixtures in internal combustion engines.
Alternative Fuel Systems
Measuring pressure in CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) and LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) tanks.
Barometric Pressure Sensing
High-altitude or weather-related atmospheric pressure monitoring in industrial environments.
Engine Management Systems
Providing feedback for air-to-fuel ratio calculations in automotive engine control units.

Getting Started

To use this board, connect the VCC, GND, and Analog Output pins to an ADC-capable microcontroller such as an NXP S32K or an Arduino. Ensure your system's ADC reference voltage matches the sensor's supply to maintain measurement accuracy over the 15-400 kPa range. Use the transfer function provided in the FXPS7250X datasheet to convert the measured voltage back into pressure units.
