SSCMANN001PGAA5

Pressure Sensors, Transducers

Pressure sensors are widely used in industrial, automotive, and environmental applications. They are used to measure pressure as it changes over time. SSCMANN001PGAA5 is a common type of pressure sensor and a cost-effective solution for various pressure sensing application requirements. An overview of its application field and working principle is discussed in this article.

Application Field

The SSCMANN001PGAA5 is a high accuracy and jitter proof piezo-resistive pressure sensor designed for use in both industrial and consumer markets. It can handle pressure up to 6 bar and has a wide operating temperature range, which makes it well suited for applications such as automotive, robotic, medical, and industrial pressure sensing. It is also suitable for aerospace and fuel cell applications.

The sensor is also very suitable for use in harsh environment and high temperature applications. It is often used in applications where absolute as well as gauge pressure measurements are needed. It can also be used for gas turbine test benches, shock and vibration tests, and automotive and industrial fluid analysis.

Working Principle

The SSCMANN001PGAA5 pressure sensor uses the piezo-resistive sensing technology to measure pressure. The sensor is equipped with a pressure transducer, which contains a diaphragm with a strain gauge. When pressure is applied, the diaphragm deforms which changes the resistance of the strain gauge. The change in resistance is converted into a voltage signal, which is then amplified and processed by the signal conditioning circuit, and finally it is converted to a digital signal, which can be read by the user.

The sensor comes with both analog and digital outputs. The analog output is usually used for low-resolution sensing applications, while the digital output is more suitable for applications where higher resolution is needed. The digital output can be read in both single-ended and differential configurations, allowing for the sensor to be used in applications where absolute and/or relative measurements are required.

The SSCMANN001PGAA5 sensor is also noted for its high accuracy and reliance. Its operations are highly reliable due to its use of high-quality components, such as ceramic and metal parts. As a result, it is suitable for applications which require a high level of accuracy and reliability.

Conclusion

In summary, the SSCMANN001PGAA5 pressure sensor is a reliable, cost-effective, and highly accurate solution for various pressure sensing applications. Its wide temperature range, high accuracy, jitter-proof performance, and digital and analog output options make it suitable for use in different types of industrial, automotive, and environmental applications.
