MPXA6115AC6U

Pressure Sensors Transducers Overview

The MPXA6115AC6U is a temperature-compensated absolute pressure sensor designed for precise atmospheric measurements. It operates within a range of 15 kPa to 115 kPa (2.18 PSI to 16.68 PSI) with 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 and features a ±1.5% accuracy rating. Packaged in an 8-SMD, gull wing configuration with a top port, it withstands overpressure up to 400 kPa. The sensor supports surface mount installation and functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as sources list both STMicroelectronics and NXP USA Inc. for this part number. Confirm the package style matches the required PCB footprint, specifically the 8-SMD gull wing termination. Ensure the operating voltage range aligns with the system power supply before integration. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Selection Notes

Select this component when high-accuracy absolute pressure measurement is required within the 15 kPa to 115 kPa range. The integrated temperature compensation eliminates the need for external correction algorithms. The analog voltage output simplifies circuit design by removing the requirement for complex signal conditioning. Consider the 8-pin SMD package constraints during layout planning.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Part Context

This sensor belongs to the MPXA6115A series, which includes variants like MPXH6115AC6U and MPXA6115AC6T1. These devices share similar electrical characteristics but differ in packaging styles such as SSOP or reel configurations. The series is engineered for applications demanding reliable performance in automotive and industrial environments under varying thermal conditions.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Replacement Considerations

MPXH6115AC6U offers identical electrical specifications in an 8-SSOP package. MPXA6115AC6T1 provides the same functionality in a tape-and-reel format. Verify pin compatibility and mechanical dimensions before substituting these alternatives.
