MPXAZ6115AP

Pressure Sensors Transducers Overview

The MPXAZ6115AP is an absolute pressure sensor from the MPXAZ6115A series, manufactured by STMicroelectronics (originally NXP). It features a patented silicon strain gauge design for accurate measurement within a working pressure range of 15 kPa to 115 kPa (2.18 PSI to 16.68 PSI). The device provides an analog voltage output ranging from 0.2 V to 4.7 V and operates on a supply voltage of 4.75 V to 5.25 V. It offers ±1.5% accuracy and includes temperature compensation. Packaged in an 8-SOP surface-mount format with a side port, it supports board mounting and functions across a wide temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Procurement Notes

Verify manufacturer attribution carefully, as the component is currently produced by STMicroelectronics despite historical NXP origins. Confirm the specific package variant matches project requirements, noting potential differences between SOP-8 and SMD configurations. Ensure compatibility with the required 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply voltage. Check for RoHS3 compliance status if environmental regulations apply. Validate that the absolute pressure type aligns with the system's reference needs rather than gauge or differential types.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Selection Notes

Select this component when precise absolute pressure data is required in compact electronic assemblies. The analog voltage output simplifies signal conditioning compared to digital alternatives. Consider the operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C for harsh environment suitability. The side port configuration aids in specific mechanical integration scenarios. Evaluate the ±1.5% accuracy against application tolerances before finalizing the choice.
