MPX53, 0 to 50 kPa, Differential and Gauge, Uncompensated, Silicon Pressure Sensors

The MPX53 series silicon piezoresistive pressure sensors provide a very accurate and linear voltage output, directly proportional to the applied pressure. These standard, uncompensated sensors permit manufacturers to design and add their own external temperature compensating and signal conditioning networks. Compensation techniques are simplified because of the predictability of Freescales single element strain gauge design.
