Pressure
50 kPa Uncompensated
Silicon Pressure Sensors
The MPX53 series silicon piezoresistive pressure sensors provide a very
accurate and linear voltage output, directly proportional to the applied
pressure. These standard, low cost, uncompensated sensors permit
manufacturers to design and add their own external temperature
compensating and signal conditioning networks. Compensation techniques
are simplified because of the predictability of Freescale's single element
strain gauge design.
Features
