pressure input. Typical, minimum, and maximum output

curves are shown for operation over a temperature range of

output will saturate outside of the specified pressure range.

Absolute Sensing Chip in the basic chip carrier (Case 867). A

fluorosilicone gel isolates the die surface and wire bonds from

the environment, while allowing the pressure signal to be

transmitted to the sensor diaphragm.

The MPX5100 series pressure sensor operating

characteristics, and internal reliability and qualification tests

are based on use of dry air as the pressure media. Media,

other than dry air, may have adverse effects on sensor

performance and long-term reliability. Contact the factory for

information regarding media compatibility in your application.

interfacing the output of the integrated sensor to the A/D input

of a microprocessor or microcontroller. Proper decoupling of

the power supply is recommended.
