Overview

The KP236N6165 is a high-precision analog absolute pressure sensor designed primarily for barometric air pressure (BAP) measurement. It features a monolithic integrated signal conditioning unit that provides a ratiometric analog output proportional to the applied pressure. This sensor is automotive qualified and offers temperature compensation and amplified output in a compact PG-DSOF-8-16 package.

Why Choose This Part

The sensor provides high accuracy of +/-2 kPa and integrated broken wire detection for enhanced system reliability. Its ratiometric output simplifies integration with ADCs by scaling the 0.1V to 4.85V output signal directly with the supply voltage.

Applications

Automotive Barometric Air Pressure
Measuring ambient air pressure for engine management systems to optimize fuel injection and combustion.
Industrial Control Systems
Monitoring atmospheric pressure in climate-controlled environments or industrial process monitoring.
Weather Stations
Providing accurate barometric data for local weather monitoring and forecasting equipment.
Altimeters
Utilizing pressure changes to calculate altitude for navigation and tracking devices.
