Sensirion
Board Mount Pressure Sensors Tube Connection, I2C , 500Pa

Overview

The SDP810-500PA is a high-performance digital differential pressure sensor designed for high-volume applications like HVAC and medical ventilation. It measures a range of -500 to 500 Pa (-2 to 2 inH2O) with 16-bit resolution and communicates via a standard I2C interface. This CMOSens technology-based sensor features excellent repeatability and is fully temperature compensated and calibrated.

Why Choose This Part

The sensor offers exceptional long-term stability with zero drift and no offset, eliminating the need for periodic re-calibration. Its internal smart averaging and high measurement speed of 2 kHz allow for precise control loops in dynamic environments while maintaining a low idle current of 1.1mA.

Applications

HVAC Air Flow Control
Ideal for demand-controlled ventilation and filter monitoring in residential and commercial air handling units.
Medical Ventilation
Provides precise pressure and flow monitoring for respiratory devices and anesthesia machines.
Gas Boilers
Used for mass flow control and burner optimization in condensing gas boilers.
Fume Hoods
Ensures safety and containment by maintaining constant face velocity through accurate low-pressure measurements.

Getting Started

Connect the sensor to an I2C bus with a pull-up resistor on the SDA and SCL lines, ensuring the supply voltage is between 2.7V and 5.5V. Developers can use the Sensirion SEK-SensorBridge for rapid prototyping with provided evaluation software, or integrate the open-source Sensirion I2C SDP8xx driver into an existing MCU toolchain.
