GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The sensors in the AMS 6915 series are high
precision OEM pressure sensors with a digital I²Cinterface. They are calibrated and temperature
compensated within an operating temperature
range of -25 … 85 °C. The I2C output and the
selectable supply voltage of 3.3 V or 5 V make the
AMS 6915 series ideal for microcontroller
applications.
AMS 6915 combine a micromachined, high quality
piezoresistive sensing element with a modern
mixed-signal conditioning ASIC on a ceramic
substrate. With the compact DIL package for
assembly on printed circuit boards the series is
especially suitable for low and medium differential
pressure measurements in applications, which
require consequent miniaturization.
AMS 6915 board mount pressure sensors are
available in various pressure ranges for all types of
pressure: differential pressure sensors in ranges
from 0 ... 5 mbar up to 0 ... 2.5 bar, relative (gage)
sensors from 0 ... 200 mbar up to 0 ... 2 bar, absolute pressure sensors from 0 ... 500 mbar up to
0 ... 2 bar and a 700 ... 1200 mbar variant for barometric measurements. Bidirectional differential
sensor types are available in pressure ranges from
-2.5 ... +2.5 mbar up to -1 ... +1 bar.
Custom specific pressure ranges or further 1odifycations are available on request.
