Frequently Asked Questions

What is the supply voltage range for the MPX5050DP sensor?

The MPX5050DP requires a supply voltage between 4.75 VDC and 5.25 VDC. Operating outside this range can affect the accuracy and proper functioning of the on-chip signal conditioning circuitry. A stable 5V supply is recommended for optimal performance.

How do I interface the MPX5050DP with an Arduino or microcontroller?

The sensor provides an analog voltage output proportional to pressure. Connect the Vout pin to an analog input (ADC) pin on your microcontroller. The output scale is 90 mV per kPa, so a 50 kPa reading will yield approximately 4.5V. Ensure you provide a clean, regulated 5V supply to the Vs pin.

What is the difference between differential and gauge pressure measurement?

Differential pressure measures the difference between two applied pressures (Port 1 and Port 2). The MPX5050DP is a differential sensor. Gauge pressure measures pressure relative to ambient atmospheric pressure. This sensor is suitable for applications like filter monitoring or flow measurement where the pressure difference between two points is critical.

What is the operating temperature range and accuracy?

The sensor is temperature compensated from -40°C to +125°C. Over the compensated range of 0°C to 85°C, it maintains a maximum error of ±2.5% of Full Scale (50 kPa). For operation outside 0-85°C, consult the datasheet for potential accuracy deviations.
