The MPXHZ6117A series pressure sensor integrates on-chip, bipolar op
amp circuitry and thin film resistor networks to provide a high output signal
and temperature compensation. The sensor’s packaging has been designed
to provide resistance to high humidity conditions as well as common
automotive media. The small form factor and high reliability of on-chip
integration make this sensor a logical and economical choice for the system
designer.
The MPXHZ6117A 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 Span (V
FSS
) is defined as the algebraic difference between the output voltage at full rated pressure and the output voltage at the
minimum related pressure.
4. Accuracy (error budget) is the deviation in actual output from nominal output over the entire pressure range and temperature range as a
percent of V
SS
span at 25°C due to all sources of error including the following:
Linearity: Output deviation from a straight line relationship with pressure over the specified pressure range.
Temperature Hysteresis: Output deviation at any temperature within the operating temperature range, after the temperature is cycled to and
from the minimum or maximum operating temperature points, with zero differential pressure applied.
Pressure Hysteresis: Output deviation at any pressure within the specified range, when this pressure is cycled to and from minimum or
maximum rated pressure at 25°C.
Offset Stability: Output deviation, after 1000 temperature cycles, -40° to 125°C, and 1.5 million pressure cycles, with minimum rated pressure
applied.
TcSpan: Output deviation over the temperature range of 0° to 85°C, relative to 25°C.
TcOffset: Output deviation with minimum pressure applied, over the temperature range of 0° to 85°C, relative to 25°C.

ON-CHIP TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION AND CALIBRATION
The performance over temperature is achieved by
integrating the shear-stress strain gauge, temperature
compensation, calibration, and signal conditioning circuitry
onto a single monolithic chip.
Figure 2
illustrates the configuration in the basic chip
carrier (case 1317-04) prior to porting. A gel die coat isolates
the die surface and wire bonds from the environment, while
allowing the pressure signal to be transmitted to the sensor
diaphragm. The gel die coat and durable thermoplastic
package provide a media resistant barrier that allows the
sensor to operate reliably in high humidity conditions as well
as common automotive media. NOTE: The MPXHZ6117A
series pressure sensor’s operating characteristics, internal
reliability and qualification tests are based on use of air as the
pressure media. Media, other than air, may have adverse
effects on sensor performance and long–term reliability.
Contact the factory for information regarding media
compatibility in your application.
Figure 3
shows the recommended decoupling circuit for
interfacing the integrated sensor to the A/D input of a
microprocessor or microcontroller. Proper decoupling of the
power supply is recommended.
Figure 4
shows the sensor output signal relative to
pressure input. Typical, minimum, and maximum output
curves are shown for operation over a temperature range of
0° to 85°C using the decoupling circuit shown (Figure
3).
The
output will saturate outside of the specified pressure range.

SURFACE MOUNTING INFORMATION
Minimum Recommended Footprint for Super Small Outline Packages
Surface mount board layout is a critical portion of the total
design. The footprint for the semiconductor package must be
the correct size to ensure proper solder connection interface
between the board and the package. With the correct pad
geometry, the packages will self-align when subjected to a
solder reflow process. It is always recommended to fabricate
boards with a solder mask layer to avoid bridging and/or
shorting between solder pads, especially on tight tolerances
and/or tight layouts.
