MPX5100DP
Overview
The MPX5100DP is a high-performance differential pressure sensor designed to measure air or liquid pressure differences up to 100 kPa (14.5 psi). This sensor integrates on-chip signal conditioning, temperature compensation, and calibration to provide a linear analog voltage output ranging from approximately 0.2 V to 4.7 V. Its unibody package with dual barbed ports makes it ideal for direct board mounting in systems requiring precise pneumatic or hydraulic monitoring.
Why Choose This Part
The sensor features a high sensitivity of 45 mV/kPa and maintains a low maximum error of 2.5 percent over a wide temperature range of 0 to 85 degrees Celsius. Its patented silicon shear stress strain gauge technology ensures long-term stability, while the durable epoxy unibody housing protects the internal circuitry from environmental stress.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To interface the MPX5100DP, connect the output pin to a 10-bit or higher analog-to-digital converter (ADC) on a microcontroller powered at 5V. Use a decoupling capacitor (typically 1.0 uF) near the sensor power supply pins and an RC filter on the output line to minimize signal noise in industrial environments.
