High Temperature Accuracy
Integrated Silicon Pressure Sensor
for Measuring Absolute Pressure,
On-Chip Signal Conditioned,
Temperature Compensated and
Calibrated
Freescale's MP3H6115A series sensor integrates on-chip, bipolar op amp
circuitry and thin film resistor networks to provide a high output signal and
temperature compensation. The small form factor and high reliability of on-
chip integration make the Freescale pressure sensor a logical and
economical choice for the system designer.
The MP3H6115A series piezoresistive transducer is a state-of-the-art,
monolithic, signal conditioned, silicon pressure sensor. This sensor combines
advanced micromachining techniques, thin film metallization, and bipolar
semiconductor processing to provide an accurate, high level analog output
signal that is proportional to applied pressure.

1. Device is ratiometric within this specified excitation range.
2. Offset (V
off
) is defined as the output voltage at the minimum rated pressure.
3. Full Scale Output (V
FSO
) is defined as the output voltage at the maximum or full rated pressure.
4. Full Scale Span (V
FSS
) is defined as the algebraic difference between the output voltage at full rated pressure and the output voltage at the
minimum rated pressure.
5. Response Time is defined as the time for the incremental change in the output to go from 10% to 90% of its final value when subjected to a
specified step change in pressure.
6. Warm-up Time is defined as the time required for the product to meet the specified output voltage after the pressure has been stabilized.
7. Offset Stability is the product's output deviation when subjected to 1000 cycles of Pulsed Pressure, Temperature Cycling with Bias Test.

Wire Bond
Lead frame
A fluorosilicone gel isolates the die surface and wire bonds
from the environment, while allowing the pressure signal to
be transmitted to the silicon diaphragm. The MP3H6115A
series pressure sensor operating characteristics, internal
reliability and qualification tests are based on use of dry air as
the pressure media. Media other than dry air may have
adverse effects on sensor performance and long-term
reliability. Contact the factory for information regarding media
compatibility in your application.
