The MPX10 series device is a silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor providing a very
accurate and linear voltage output — directly proportional to the applied pressure. This
standard, low cost, uncompensated sensor permits manufacturers to design and add
their own external temperature compensating and signal conditioning networks.
Compensation techniques are simplified because of the predictability of Motorola’s single
element strain gauge design.

VOLTAGE OUTPUT versus APPLIED DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE
The differential voltage output of the X–ducer is directly proportional to the differential
pressure applied.
The output voltage of the differential or gauge sensor increases with increasing
pressure applied to the pressure side (P1) relative to the vacuum side (P2). Similarly,
output voltage increases as increasing vacuum is applied to the vacuum side (P2)
relative to the pressure side (P1).

TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
Figure 2 shows the typical output characteristics of the
MPX10 series over temperature.
The X–ducer piezoresistive pressure sensor element is a
semiconductor device which gives an electrical output signal
proportional to the pressure applied to the device. This device uses a unique transverse voltage diffused semiconductor strain gauge which is sensitive to stresses produced in a
thin silicon diaphragm by the applied pressure.
Because this strain gauge is an integral part of the silicon
diaphragm, there are no temperature effects due to differences in the thermal expansion of the strain gauge and the
diaphragm, as are often encountered in bonded strain gauge
pressure sensors. However, the properties of the strain
gauge itself are temperature dependent, requiring that the
device be temperature compensated if it is to be used over
an extensive temperature range.
Temperature compensation and offset calibration can be
achieved rather simply with additional resistive components,
or by designing your system using the MPX2010D series
sensor.
Several approaches to external temperature compensation over both – 40 to +125°C and 0 to + 80°C ranges are
presented in Motorola Applications Note AN840.
LINEARITY
Linearity refers to how well a transducer’s output follows
the equation: V
pressure range (Figure 3). There are two basic methods for
calculating nonlinearity: (1) end point straight line fit or (2) a
least squares best line fit. While a least squares fit gives the
“best case” linearity error (lower numerical value), the calculations required are burdensome.
Conversely, an end point fit will give the “worst case” error
(often more desirable in error budget calculations) and the
calculations are more straightforward for the user. Motorola’ s
specified pressure sensor linearities are based on the end
point straight line method measured at the midrange
pressure.
