MPX10
MPX10
1 General Description
The MPX10 series device is a silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor providing a very
accurate and linear voltage output directly proportional to the applied pressure. This
standard, low cost, uncompensated sensor permits manufacturers to design and
add their own external temperature compensation and signal conditioning networks.
Compensation techniques are simplified because of the predictability of NXP's single
element strain gauge design.

9 Characteristics
9.3 Linearity
Linearity refers to how well a transducer's output follows the equation
Vout = Voff + Sensitivity x P over the operating pressure range (Figure 7). There are two
basic methods for calculating nonlinearity:
• End point straight line fit

The MPX10 series pressure sensor operating characteristics, internal reliability and
qualification tests are based on the use of dry clean air as the pressure medium. Media
other than dry clean air may have adverse effects on sensor performance and long
term reliability. Contact the factory for information regarding media compatibility in your
application.
