MPX5700AP
Overview
The MPX5700AP is a high-performance absolute pressure sensor designed for a wide range of applications requiring accurate pressure measurement between 15 kPa and 700 kPa. It features a patented silicon shear stress strain gauge and provides a conditioned analog voltage output typically ranging from 0.2 V to 4.7 V. The sensor is temperature compensated from 0 to 85 degrees Celsius and comes in a durable epoxy unibody 6-SIP package.
Why Choose This Part
The sensor offers a high accuracy with a maximum error of 2.5 percent over its specified temperature range, reducing the need for complex software calibration. Its analog voltage output is specifically designed to interface directly with microcontroller ADC inputs, simplifying the front-end circuit design. The unibody construction provides mechanical durability and a standard 0.19-inch barbed tube port for secure pneumatic connections.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To integrate this sensor, provide a stable 5V DC power supply and connect the analog output pin directly to a 10-bit or 12-bit ADC on a microcontroller. Use a simple linear transfer function to convert the measured voltage back to kPa or PSI based on the datasheet's typical output range. For prototyping, the 6-SIP through-hole package is compatible with standard 0.1-inch pitch breadboards or perfboards.
