MPX5100A

Pressure Sensors Transducers Overview

The MPX5100A is a monolithic silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor from NXP USA Inc., designed for absolute pressure measurement. It operates within a working pressure range of 2.18 PSI to 16.68 PSI (15 kPa to 115 kPa) and features an analog voltage output spanning 0.2 V to 4.7 V. The device requires a supply voltage between 4.75 V and 5.25 V, drawing approximately 7 mA of current. It offers ±2.5% accuracy and includes on-chip temperature compensation. Packaged in a 6-SIP module with through-hole PC pin termination, it supports board mounting and functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.
