Overview

The NPP-301A-200A is a surface-mount absolute pressure sensor designed for reliable measurements up to 30 PSI. It utilizes a four-element Wheatstone bridge configuration and silicon piezoresistive technology to provide a 60 mV full-scale output from a 3V supply. Housed in a standard 8-SOIC package, it is optimized for high-volume automated assembly in cost-sensitive applications.

Why Choose This Part

This sensor offers high precision with +/-0.2% accuracy and solid-state reliability across a wide temperature range of -40C to 125C. Its 8-SOIC package enables easy integration into standard PCB assembly workflows without specialized mounting hardware. The Wheatstone bridge output provides a predictable linear response that is easily conditioned by standard instrumentation amplifiers.

Applications

Automotive Tire Pressure Monitoring
Used in TPMS modules to provide accurate absolute pressure data for vehicle safety systems.
Portable Manometers
Ideal for handheld pressure gauges due to its small SOIC footprint and low power consumption.
Pneumatic Control Systems
Monitors air line pressure in industrial automation and process control environments.
Consumer Appliances
Integrates into vacuum cleaners or water pressure monitors where board-level mounting is required.

Getting Started

To use this sensor, connect the 3V to 10V supply to the bridge excitation pins and interface the differential output to a high-impedance ADC or an instrumentation amplifier like the AD8226. Ensure the PCB layout accounts for the non-ported nature of the device, as it measures ambient pressure reaching the die via the package. Calibration is recommended at two points to account for offset and span variations inherent in piezoresistive bridges.
