Pressure

On-chip Temperature Compensation, Calibration, and Signal Conditioning

The performance over temperature is achieved by

integrating the shear-stress strain gauge, temperature

compensation, calibration and signal conditioning circuitry

onto a single monolithic chip.

chip carrier (Case 482). A fluorosilicone gel isolates the die

surface and wire bonds from the environment, while allowing

the pressure signal to be transmitted to the silicon diaphragm.

The MPXV4115V series sensor operating characteristics

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

than dry air, may have adverse effects on sensor

performance and long-term reliability. Internal reliability and

qualification test for dry air, and other media, are available

from the factory. Contact the factory for information regarding

media tolerance in your application.

of a microprocessor or microcontroller. Proper decoupling of

the power supply is recommended.
