Overview

The KP253XTMA2 is a high-accuracy digital absolute pressure sensor featuring a 12-bit SPI interface and integrated temperature sensing. Designed for harsh environments, this AEC-Q100 qualified component provides a calibrated pressure output with a typical accuracy of +/- 1.0 kPa across a wide temperature range of -40 C to 125 C.

Why Choose This Part

This sensor offers a high 12-bit resolution for both pressure and temperature data while maintaining a low 10.0 mA run current. Its integrated self-diagnosis features and robust PG-DSOF-8-16 package make it ideal for safety-critical automotive and industrial applications where reliability is paramount.

Applications

Automotive Engine Management
Used for manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensing and barometric pressure compensation to optimize fuel injection and emissions.
Industrial Process Control
Provides reliable pressure monitoring in automated systems requiring high resolution and integrated self-diagnosis features.
Weather Stations and Altimeters
Utilizes 12-bit resolution and low power consumption for high-precision environmental monitoring and altitude tracking.

Getting Started

Communication is handled via a standard 4-wire SPI interface, requiring a supply voltage between 3.135V and 5.25V. For initial prototyping, ensure the SPI master is configured to match the 12-bit data format and utilize the power-down mode (12 uA) to evaluate battery-operated performance.
