STMicroelectronics MPL3150A2S
The MPL3150A2S is a compact, piezoresistive, absolute pressure sensor with an I²C digital interface. The MEMS is temperature compensated utilizing an on-chip temperature sensor. The pressure and temperature data is fed into a high-resolution ADC to provide fully compensated and digitized outputs for pressure in Pascals and temperature in °C.FEATURES
● Operating range: 50 kPa to 150 kPa absolute pressure● Calibrated range: 70 kPa to 150 kPa absolute pressure
● Calibrated temperature output: −40 °C to 85 °C
● I²C digital output interface
● Fully compensated internally
● Direct reading – Pressure: 20-bit measurement (Pascals) ◦ 50 kPa to 150 kPa – Temperature: 12-bit measurement (°C) ◦ –40 °C to 85 °C
● Programmable interrupts
