Pressure Sensors
The MPX2200 series device is a silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor
providing a highly accurate and linear voltage output - directly proportional to the
applied pressure. The sensor is a single monolithic silicon diaphragm with the
strain gauge and a thin-film resistor network integrated on-chip. The chip is laser
trimmed for precise span and offset calibration and temperature compensation.
They are designed for use in applications such as pump/motor controllers,
robotics, level indicators, medical diagnostics, pressure switching, barometers,
altimeters, etc.

VOLTAGE OUTPUT VS. APPLIED DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE
The differential voltage output of the sensor is directly
proportional to the differential pressure applied.
The absolute sensor has a built-in reference vacuum. The
output voltage will decrease as vacuum, relative to ambient,
is drawn on the pressure (P1) side.
The output voltage of the differential or gauge sensor
increases with increasing pressure applied to the pressure

voltage increases as increasing vacuum is applied to the
vacuum (P2) side relative to the pressure (P1) side.

5. Accuracy (error budget) consists of the following:
• Linearity: Output deviation from a straight line relationship with pressure, using end point method, over the specified
pressure range.
• Temperature Hysteresis:Output deviation at any temperature within the operating temperature range, after the temperature is cycled to
and from the minimum or maximum operating temperature points, with zero differential pressure applied.
• Pressure Hysteresis: Output deviation at any pressure with the specified range, when this pressure is cycled to and from the minimum
or maximum rated pressure at 25°C.
• TcSpan: Output deviation at full rated pressure over the temperature range of 0 to 85°C, relative to 25°C.
• TcOffset: Output deviation with minimum rated pressure applied, over the temperature range of 0 to 85°C, relative to 25°C.
6. Response Time is defined as the time form the incremental change in the output to go from 10% to 90% of its final value when subjected
to a specified step change in pressure.
7. Offset stability is the product’s output deviation when subjected to 1000 hours of Pulsed Pressure, Temperature Cycling with Bias Test.
