MPX5010DP
Overview
The MPX5010DP is an integrated silicon pressure sensor designed for a wide range of applications, particularly those employing a microcontroller or microprocessor with A/D inputs. This differential transducer combines advanced micromachining techniques, thin-film metallization, and bipolar processing to provide an accurate, high-level analog output signal that is proportional to the applied pressure. It is specifically calibrated and temperature compensated to provide a reliable 0 to 10 kPa measurement range.
Why Choose This Part
The sensor features a patented silicon shear stress strain gauge that provides high sensitivity and linear performance. Its on-chip signal conditioning simplifies system design by providing a large 0.2 V to 4.7 V output swing, effectively eliminating the need for external instrumentation amplifiers.

Key Specifications
Getting Started
To use this sensor, connect the 6-SIP module to a 5V supply and interface the analog output directly to a 10-bit or 12-bit ADC on a microcontroller. Ensure the dual barbed ports are connected using 0.19 inch (4.93mm) ID tubing, and apply the transfer function provided in the datasheet to convert voltage back to kPa.
