Pressure

The MPL115A2 is an absolute pressure sensor with digital output for low cost

applications. A miniature 5 x 3 x 1.2 mm LGA package ideally suits it for portable

electronics and space constrained applications. Low current consumptions of

5

μA during Active mode and 1 μA during Shutdown (Sleep) mode target battery

and other low-power applications. A wide operating temperature range from -40°C

to +105°C fits demanding environmental requirements.

MPL115A2 employs a MEMS pressure sensor with a conditioning IC to provide

accurate pressure measurement from 50 to 115 kPa. An integrated ADC provides

Data is stored in internal ROM. Utilizing raw sensor output, the host

microcontroller executes a compensation algorithm to render Compensated

Absolute Pressure with 1 kPa accuracy.

The MPL115A2 pressure sensor’s small form factor, low power capability,

precision, and digital output optimize it for barometric measurement applications.
