MPXV2050GP

Pressure Sensors Transducers Overview

The MPXV2050GP is a silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor from the MPXV2050 series, manufactured by NXP USA Inc. It features a vented gauge configuration with an operating pressure range of 0 to 50 kPa (0 to 7.25 psi). The device provides a linear voltage output directly proportional to applied pressure, utilizing a single monolithic silicon diaphragm with integrated strain gauges and a thin-film resistor network. It operates within a supply voltage range of 10V to 16V and delivers a typical full-scale span of 40 mV. The sensor is laser trimmed for precise span and offset calibration, ensuring temperature compensation over a range of -40°C to +85°C.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm package type and port configuration, as variations exist within the MPXV2050 series. Ensure the selected variant matches the required application interface, such as top port or side port options. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance requirements if necessary for the target market. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure access to the most current electrical specifications and mechanical drawings before finalizing procurement orders.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Selection Notes

Select this component when a ratiometric, temperature-compensated pressure measurement is required in compact surface-mount designs. The MPXV2050GP is suitable for applications demanding high linearity and accuracy without external signal conditioning. Consider the 8-SMD gull wing package for automated assembly processes. Evaluate the 50 kPa range against system pressure requirements to ensure adequate headroom. This sensor integrates strain gauges and resistor networks on-chip, simplifying circuit design compared to non-integrated alternatives.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Part Context

The MPXV2050GP belongs to the MPX2050 series of silicon piezoresistive pressure sensors originally developed by Freescale Semiconductor, which was acquired by NXP Semiconductors in 2015. This series utilizes unique silicon shear stress strain gauge technology to provide reliable performance in various industrial and consumer applications. The devices are designed for board mounting and offer differential and gauge pressure options within the broader product family.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the MPXV2050 series include variants with different port configurations, such as the MPXV2050GC for side port applications. Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions when considering alternative part numbers. Ensure that any replacement maintains the same operating pressure range and temperature compensation characteristics to preserve system functionality.
