Overview

The MS580301BA01-00 is a high-resolution altimeter sensor that combines a piezoresistive pressure sense element with a 24-bit delta-sigma ADC. It is designed for precision pressure measurements ranging from 10 to 1300 mbar with an altitude resolution of 10cm. The module features an internal oscillator and is hermetically sealable, making it suitable for outdoor or harsh environment integration.

Why Choose This Part

This module requires no external components for operation and provides a true 24-bit digital output for both pressure and temperature. Its high resolution and fast conversion times down to 1ms allow for real-time monitoring in dynamic applications while maintaining excellent long-term stability.

Applications

Variometers
High-resolution pressure sensing allows for accurate vertical speed indication in flight instruments.
Mobile Altimeters
The ultra-low standby current of 0.02uA and wide 1.8V to 3.6V supply range are ideal for battery-powered handheld devices.
Outdoor Weather Stations
Hermetic sealing and long-term stability support reliable environmental monitoring in varying weather conditions.
Industrial Data Loggers
High accuracy and simple I2C/SPI digital interfaces simplify integration into professional logging equipment.

Getting Started

Communicate with the sensor via I2C or SPI by selecting the protocol through the PS pin. After power-on, send a reset command and then read the 128-bit PROM to retrieve factory calibration coefficients needed for pressure and temperature compensation calculations. Evaluation can be performed using the MEAS development kits or by connecting the LGA-8 package to a standard microcontroller via 0.1uF bypass capacitors.
