MPXV4006GP

Pressure Sensors Transducers Overview

The MPXV4006GP is a piezoresistive pressure transducer from the MPXV4006 series, designed for appliance and industrial markets. It features a monolithic silicon construction with an analog output compatible with microcontroller A/D inputs. The device operates on a supply voltage of 4.75V to 5.25V and measures a maximum pressure range of 0.87 Psi (approximately 6 kPa). It utilizes a surface-mount SOP-8 package with a 2.54 mm pitch. The sensor incorporates thin-film metallization and bipolar processing to deliver accurate signals proportional to applied pressure.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'GP' corresponds to the Surface Mount Package configuration as documented in official NXP datasheets. Confirm that the required accuracy specifications align with the Auto Zero or non-Auto Zero error margins defined for the operating temperature range. Ensure the media resistance requirements match the available gel options provided in the product documentation.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile surface-mount pressure sensor is required for direct microcontroller integration. The choice depends on the need for a 6 kPa measurement range and compatibility with standard 5V logic levels. Consider the package dimensions and thermal characteristics against the constraints of the target PCB layout and environmental conditions.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Part Context

This part belongs to the MPXV4006 series of piezoresistive transducers manufactured by NXP USA Inc., formerly Freescale Semiconductor. The series represents state-of-the-art monolithic silicon sensors utilizing advanced micromachining techniques. The GP suffix specifically denotes the surface mount variant within this family, distinct from through-hole DIP configurations available in other series members.
