Description

The MPX2010GP from NXP Semiconductors Semiconductors is a monolithic, piezoresistive pressure sensor engineered for accuracy and stability. The sensor core consists of a single silicon die where the sensing element and signal-conditioning resistor network are integrated, ensuring minimal drift and high linearity. Its output is an analog voltage signal that is ratiometric to the supply voltage, simplifying interface with analog-to-digital converters in microcontroller-based systems like those using Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or industrial PLCs.

Factory laser trimming calibrates the sensor for precise span and offset while providing temperature compensation across the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. This makes the MPX2010GP suitable for demanding applications in motor drive control, medical diagnostic equipment, and consumer electronics where reliable low-pressure measurement is critical. The sensor’s gauge-ported design references pressure to the ambient atmosphere.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal of the MPX2010GP pressure sensor?

The MPX2010GP provides a ratiometric analog voltage output. Its sensitivity is 2.5 millivolts per kilopascal (mV/kPa), meaning the output voltage scales linearly with both the applied pressure and the supply voltage. This simplifies interface with ADCs in microcontrollers like Arduino or PLC analog input modules.

What is the required power supply voltage for this sensor?

The MPX2010GP operates from a supply voltage range of 10 to 16 volts DC. The output signal is ratiometric to this supply voltage, so a stable, low-noise power source is recommended for optimal accuracy. It is not designed for 3.3V or 5V logic-level power rails commonly found on development boards.

How do I connect and interface the MPX2010GP with a microcontroller?

The sensor has a 4-pin SIP footprint. Typically, two pins are for the supply voltage (Vs and GND), and the other two provide the differential analog output signal (Vout+ and Vout-). You must connect the output to a differential or instrumentation amplifier before feeding it into a microcontroller's ADC, as the signal level is in the millivolt range.

What does 'gauge pressure' mean for this sensor?

Gauge pressure measures pressure relative to the ambient atmospheric pressure. The MPX2010GP has a port referenced to the atmosphere. It reads 0 kPa output when the applied pressure equals atmospheric pressure, and positive output for pressures above atmospheric, up to its 10 kPa full-scale limit. It is ideal for measuring fan pressure, filter differentials, or low-pressure vessel levels.

Is the MPX2010GP calibrated and temperature compensated?

Yes, the MPX2010GP is factory laser-trimmed for precise span and offset calibration. It also features integrated temperature compensation circuitry, ensuring stable and accurate readings across its specified operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C without requiring additional user calibration in most applications.
