Description

The Tiger TKJP100 pressure sensor employs a diffused silicon piezoresistive sensing element to provide accurate gauge pressure measurements. The MEMS-based chip translates pressure-induced strain into a calibrated digital signal, which is amplified and temperature-compensated internally for high reliability across varying environmental conditions.

Outputting data via a UART serial interface, the sensor is pre-calibrated and ready for immediate use with common 3.3V or 5V microcontroller platforms, including Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi. Its compact design and fast 10 ms response time make it suitable for dynamic pressure monitoring in both consumer and industrial systems.

Key Features

  • High-Accuracy Digital Pressure Sensor with ±1% Full Scale accuracy.
  • Integrated temperature compensation circuit ensures stable performance from -40°C to +85°C.
  • Digital UART serial output provides noise-immune communication with host controllers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output interface of the TKJP100 sensor and how do I connect it to an Arduino?

The TKJP100 provides a digital UART (Serial) output. To connect it to an Arduino, you would wire the sensor's TX pin to a digital RX pin on the Arduino (e.g., pin 0 or a SoftwareSerial pin) and its RX pin to an Arduino TX pin. Ensure both devices share a common ground and are powered within the 3.3V to 5V range. The sensor communicates via standard serial protocol at a predefined baud rate.

What is the difference between gauge pressure and absolute pressure, and which does this sensor measure?

Gauge pressure measures pressure relative to the ambient atmospheric pressure, while absolute pressure is measured relative to a perfect vacuum. The Tiger TKJP100 is specifically a gauge pressure sensor. Its zero reading corresponds to the local atmospheric pressure, making it ideal for applications like monitoring tank pressure or inflatable products where you need to know the pressure above the surrounding environment.

Does the sensor require external calibration or signal conditioning?

No, the TKJP100 sensor is factory-calibrated and includes built-in temperature compensation and signal conditioning. The pressure readings are output as pre-processed digital values via UART, eliminating the need for external amplification or calibration circuits. This makes it a plug-and-play component for direct microcontroller integration.

What is the maximum pressure the sensor can withstand without damage?

The TKJP100 has a maximum pressure rating of 206.9 kPa. This is the pressure limit the sensor can be exposed to without causing permanent damage or failure. It is significantly higher than its 100 kPa measuring range, providing a safety margin for overpressure events in your application.
