[Melexis]

Description

The MLX90210 is a discrete micromachined pressure sensor IC suitable for pressure ranges between 0 to 1.0 Bar. The pressure medium must be dry and non-corrosive, such as air.

The 90210 is packaged in a plastic/ceramic package, (CA) or can be ordered as unpackaged die (UD) The principal of the circuit is a piezoresistive bridge which is realized in silicon through a special micromachine process. As pressure is applied to the bridge, a differential voltage change is seen across the VOUT pins, while a bias voltage is applied to the VEXC pins.

The MLX90210 is a versatile pressure sensor solution which can be directly interfaced with other Melexis ICs such as the MLX90308, which provides amplification, signal conditioning as well as the bias current to supply the sensor itself.
