Silicon Pressure Sensors

The MPX12 series silicon piezoresistive pressure sensors provide a very

accurate and linear voltage output, directly proportional to the applied

pressure. This standard, low cost, uncompensated sensor permits

manufacturers to design and add their own external temperature

compensating and signal conditioning networks. Compensation techniques

are simplified because of the predictability of Freescale's single element

strain gauge design.
