MPX5050DP

Pressure Sensors Transducers Overview

The MPX5050DP is a differential silicon pressure sensor from NXP, designed for board mounting in a 6-SIP module package. It measures pressures ranging from 0 kPa to 50 kPa (7.25 PSI). The device operates on a supply voltage of 4.75 VDC to 5.25 VDC, producing an analog output signal between 0.2 V and 4.7 V. It features integrated signal conditioning, temperature compensation, and calibration, ensuring accuracy within 2.5% over the operating range of -40°C to 125°C. The sensor utilizes piezoresistive technology with a sensitivity of 90 mV/kPa and a response time of 1 ms.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the exact package type and tube quantity, as variations may exist within the MPX5050 series. Ensure the component matches the required pressure range and voltage specifications for your application. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm compatibility with current design standards. Confirm that the supplier provides genuine NXP products to avoid counterfeit components affecting performance.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Selection Notes

Select this component when a differential pressure measurement up to 50 kPa is required with integrated temperature compensation. The 6-SIP package is suitable for through-hole PCB mounting. Consider the 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply requirement and the 0.2 V to 4.7 V output range for interface compatibility with microcontrollers. Evaluate the -40°C to 125°C operating range against environmental conditions.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Part Context

The MPX5050DP belongs to the MPX5050 series of pressure sensors manufactured by NXP USA Inc. This series includes various models with different pressure ranges and output types. The MPX5050DP specifically targets differential pressure applications. It is part of a broader family of silicon pressure sensors known for reliability and integration.
