Overview

The MS5803-14BA01 is a high-resolution absolute pressure sensor with I2C and SPI interfaces, designed for measurements up to 14 bar. It features a 24-bit Delta-Sigma ADC and an internal oscillator, packaged in a surface-mount module that can be hermetically sealed for outdoor or harsh environments.

Why Choose This Part

This sensor offers exceptional long-term stability and very low power consumption, drawing only 0.14 microamps in standby. Its ability to interface via both I2C and SPI provides flexibility for different microcontroller architectures without requiring external components.

Applications

Diving Computers
Utilizes the 14 bar range and high resolution for precise depth measurement in underwater equipment.
Industrial Process Control
Provides stable absolute pressure monitoring for pneumatic and hydraulic systems requiring up to 1400kPa.
Outdoor Weather Stations
The hermetically sealable design and 24-bit ADC allow for high-accuracy barometric tracking in exposed environments.
Automotive Systems
Monitors tire pressure or manifold absolute pressure where a wider dynamic range than standard barometric sensors is required.

Getting Started

To begin development, interface the 8-SMD module with a 3.3V microcontroller and use the 16 bytes of internal EEPROM to access factory calibration coefficients. Engineers should implement the 24-bit conversion sequence for pressure and temperature to ensure accurate compensated readings.
