MPX5100GSX

The MPX5100GSX pressure sensor is an electronic pressure transducer designed to offer reliable performance at a lower cost than other available pressure transducers. It is a diaphragm-based piezoresistive transducer, using a stainless steel diaphragm that is bonded to an ASIC chip. The ASIC chip contains a Wheatstone bridge, which is used to measure the voltage generated by the diaphragm in response to changes in pressure. The output of the diaphragm is then used to determine the pressure value.

The MPX5100GSX pressure sensor is capable of providing an accuracy of 0.25% Full Scale (FS) at temperatures between -20℃ to 60℃, with a temperature coefficient of 0.3% FS per degree Celsius. It is suitable for operation with a variety of gases, including air, nitrogen, and argon, as well as aqueous solutions and refrigerants.

Applications of the MPX5100GSX pressure sensor include local and remote pressure sensing, electronic pressure control, medical instrumentation, industrial automation, and fuel-tank pressure monitoring. It is also suitable for use in hazardous areas where explosion proof requirements apply.

The MPX5100GSX pressure sensor operates by detecting changes in pressure applied to the diaphragm. The Wheatstone bridge in the ASIC chip is used to convert the diaphragm\'s movement into a voltage. This voltage is then amplified and sent to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The ADC converts the voltage into a digital value that can be read by the user.

The MPX5100GSX pressure sensor can be calibrated according to the user\'s requirements. The calibration process ensures that the pressure values obtained from the sensor are accurate. The user can also set the pressure range of the sensor to match the application. Additionally, the pressure sensor can be used with a variety of digital communication protocols, such as RS-485 and CAN.

The MPX5100GSX pressure sensor is a reliable and cost-effective solution for a variety of applications, including medical instrumentation, fuel-tank pressure monitoring, and industrial automation. It provides accuracy and reliability, as well as ease of use and calibration. This makes it an ideal choice for a variety of applications such as local and remote pressure sensing, electronic pressure control, and hazardous area applications.
