Pressure sensors and transducers are used to measure and identify pressure conditions and may use different types of technologies, including piezoresistive, ceramic, capacitive and piezoelectric. The MPXH6300A6T1 is an example of a pressure sensor that uses a Piezoresistive bridge to detect pressure, making it a good choice for many applications spanning a range of industries from automotive and medical to industrial and consumer electronics. This article provides an overview of the MPXH6300A6T1, including its pressure sensing technology, applications, and working principle.

MPXH6300A6T1 Pressure Sensor

The MPXH6300A6T1 pressure sensor is a high-accuracy device capable of measuring absolute and differential pressure in a range of ±15 psi (±103 kPa). It is designed with a rugged, small footprint, making it suitable for a variety of low- to medium-pressure sensing applications. It features a piezoresistive bridge integrated onto a standard polysilicon element that responds to pressure changes. The active area is solderable and easy to connect to a variety of terminals.

Pressure Sensing Technology

The MPXH6300A6T1 pressure sensor utilizes a piezoresistive bridge configuration to detect pressure. Piezoresistivity is the change in electrical resistance of a material in response to applied pressure. The pressure sensor also includes a polysilicon element that has a piezoresistive bridge integrated into it. This bridge consists of four piezoresistors connected in a Wheatstone bridge formation. As the pressure applied to the element changes, the resistance values of the piezoresistors change, which in turn changes the output voltage of the bridge.

The bridge is designed to have a low output impedance, which means it can drive a signal that is directly connected to an MCU. The bridge has a high linearity and low non-linearity error, allowing it to accurately measure pressure changes over the range of ±15 psi (±103 kPa). In order to minimize offsets due to temperature changes, the bridge is temperature-compensated.

Applications

The MPXH6300A6T1 pressure sensor is suitable for many different types of pressure sensing applications, including automotive, industrial, medical, and consumer electronics. It is ideal for use in a wide range of applications such as tire pressure monitoring systems, rainwater harvesting, HVAC systems, cooling systems, hydraulic pressure monitoring, and liquid level monitoring. It is also used for biomedical applications such as respiratory and blood pressure monitoring.

Working Principle

The MPXH6300A6T1 pressure sensor measures pressure changes using a Wheatstone bridge configuration. The Wheatstone bridge is composed of four piezoresistors connected in a bridge formation. When a pressure is applied, the resistance values of the piezoresistors change, which causes the output voltage of the bridge to change. The output voltage is proportional to the applied pressure, allowing the device to measure pressure in real-time.

The sensor is designed with a low offset feature to ensure accurate and stable readings over temperatures. The sensor is also designed to have a low total error band, meaning that readings will remain within a certain range regardless of temperature. This allows the sensor to accurately measure pressure changes over the ±15 psi (±103 kPa) range.
