MPXAZ4100A6U

The MPXAZ4100A6U is a high quality pressure sensor, transducer and transmitter that offers a wide range of applications and uses in industrial and commercial environments. It is capable of accurately measuring pressure over a wide range of conditions, from a very low vacuum to a very high pressure. When combined with the appropriate controller and signal conditioning circuitry, the MPXAZ4100A6U can be used to measure, control and detect pressure in gas, liquid, and air systems.

Applications

The MPXAZ4100A6U is an ideal choice for measuring and monitoring pressure in a wide range of industries and applications. It can be used in the medical industry for monitoring respiratory systems, or in engineering applications like aircraft control systems. In the automotive industry, it is suitable for use in motor-vehicle fuel injection systems and can LED to more efficient fuel consumption. In petrochemical applications, it is used as monitoring the pressure of oil and gas systems.

The MPXAZ4100A6U is also used in daily consumer goods, like home electric pressure cookers, where it is used to monitor the pressure and temperature inside the cooking chamber. This ensures that the food is cooked properly and to the highest quality. It is also used in HVAC systems as part of temperature and pressure monitoring, comfort and climate control systems found in residential and commercial buildings.

Working Principle

The MPXAZ4100A6U uses a stable and reliable Temperature Compensated (TC) Silicon Piezo-Resistive (SPR) sensing element. This sensing element is located at the center of the device and is connected to two stainless steel diaphragms that form a ‘capacitive bridge’. The capacitive bridge forms the pressure conductance that will correspond to the pressure being measured. This pressure conductance is then converted to an electrical signal by the CMOS output electronics and digital processing system.

The precision signal conditioning processor in the MPXAZ4100A6U allows for highly accurate pressure readings over a wide range of conditions. The output can be factory configured to a variety of ranges, frequencies, sensitivities, and linearities for maximum usability and flexibility. The device is also able to compensate for changes in temperature and pressure using an internal temperature compensation circuit.

Conclusion

The MPXAZ4100A6U is a high quality, reliable pressure sensor, transducer and transmitter that offers a wide range of applications and uses in many industries. Its Temperature Compensated (TC) Silicon Piezo-Resistive (SPR) sensing element provides a long life and reliable operation, while its near-zero drift and accuracy over a wide operating temperature range make it ideal for many industrial and commercial applications.
