Overview

The MS560702BA03-50 is a high-resolution barometric pressure sensor that combines a piezoresistive sensor with a 24-bit Delta-Sigma ADC. It is optimized for altimeter and variometer applications, offering an altitude resolution of 20cm and a wide operating range from 10 to 1200 mbar.

Why Choose This Part

This sensor features an integrated internal oscillator to eliminate external components and supports both I2C and SPI interfaces for design flexibility. It is extremely power-efficient, consuming only 0.15 uA in standby and 1.4 mA during conversion, making it ideal for battery-operated devices.

Applications

High-Resolution Altimeters
Provides precise altitude tracking with 20cm resolution for flight computers and handheld GPS units.
Variometers
Fast conversion times down to 1 ms enable real-time vertical speed indications for gliders and drones.
Industrial Pressure Monitoring
The 24-bit digital output and long-term stability make it suitable for industrial process control and weather stations.
Mobile Navigation
Compact 3x5x1mm footprint allows for integration into consumer electronics for floor-level indoor navigation.

Getting Started

Engineers can interface this sensor directly with a microcontroller via 4-wire SPI or I2C by setting the PS pin high or low. Calibration coefficients stored in the 128-bit internal PROM must be read at startup to calculate temperature-compensated pressure values using the formulas provided in the datasheet.
