DESCRIPTION
The MS5534A is a SMD-hybrid device including a piezoresistive pressure sensor and an ADC-Interface IC. It
provides a 16 Bit data word from a pressure- and temperature-dependent voltage. Additionally the module
contains 6 readable coefficients for a highly accurate software calibration of the sensor. MS5534A is a low-
power, low-voltage device with automatic power down (ON/OFF) switching. A 3-wire interface is used for all
communications with a microcontroller. Sensor packaging options are plastic or metal cap.

Notes:
1. Under the assumption of one conversion every second. Conversion means either a pressure or a
temperature measurement started by a command to the serial interface of MS5534.
2. During conversion the sensor will be switched on and off in order to reduce power consumption; the total on
time within a conversion is about 2ms.
3. This value can be reduced by switching off MCLK while MS5534 is in standby mode.
4. It is strongly recommended that a crystal oscillator be used because the device is sensitive to clock jitter. A
square-wave form of the clock signal is a must.
5. Reliable operation requires protection of the pressure sensor from direct contact with light.
6. Power supply pins (VDD, GND) must be decoupled with a tantalum (47µF) capacitor placed close to the
module.

Notes:
1.
A stable pressure reading of the given resolution requires to take the average of 2 to 4 subsequent pressure
values due to noise of the ADC. A better resolution can be obtained with more averaging.
2.
Maximum error of pressure reading over the pressure range.
3.
Maximum error of pressure reading over the pressure range after offset adjustment at one pressure point.
4.
With the second-order temperature compensation as described in Section "Calculation of pressure using
compensation coefficients C1 to C5".
5.
With the first-order temperature compensation as described in Section "Calculation of pressure using
compensation coefficients C1 to C5".
6.
The long-term stability is measured with non-soldered devices
TEMPERATURE OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS
This temperature information is not required for most applications, but it is necessary to allow for temperature
compensation of the pressure output. The reference temperature is 20°C.
