Overview

The SCC30AD2 is a silicon pressure sensor designed for absolute pressure measurements from 0 psia to 30 psia. This 5-pin DIP-packaged component provides a cost-effective solution for applications requiring high-integration and integrated temperature compensation in a small footprint. It is engineered to operate across a standard temperature range of -40C to 85C with a low typical supply current of 1mA.

Why Choose This Part

The sensor offers an excellent 0.5 percent accuracy rating, making it suitable for precision instrumentation. Its low 1V to 1.5V VDD requirement allows for energy-efficient operation in battery-powered handheld devices. The standardized DIP package simplifies through-hole PCB assembly and prototyping while maintaining a compact physical size of 13.97mm by 9.65mm.

Applications

Medical Diagnostics
Used in blood pressure monitoring and dental equipment requiring stable absolute pressure measurement.
Pneumatic Control Systems
Ideal for industrial robotics and automated machinery monitoring system-level air pressure.
Automotive Engine Management
Supports manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensing and vacuum diagnostic tools.
Environmental Monitoring
Integration into barometric measurement devices and HVAC airflow control systems.

Getting Started

To interface with the SCC30AD2, engineers should use a high-impedance instrumentation amplifier or a high-resolution ADC, as the output is typically a millivolt-level bridge signal. Ensure the supply voltage is regulated within the 1V to 1.5V range to maintain calibration. For initial prototyping, the 5-pin DIP package is breadboard compatible, though a custom PCB is recommended for final noise-sensitive measurements.
