1 General description

The FXPS7115D4 high-performance, high-precision barometric absolute pressure (BAP) sensor consists of a compact capacitive micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) device coupled with a digital integrated circuit (IC) producing a fully calibrated digital output. The sensor is based on NXP's high-precision capacitive pressure cell technology. The architecture benefits from redundant pressure transducers as an expanded quality measure. This sensor delivers highly accurate pressure and temperature readings through either a serial peripheral interface (SPI) or an inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface. Furthermore, the sensor employs an on-demand digital self-test for the digital IC and the MEMS

transducers. The sensor operates over a pressure range of 40 kPa to 115 kPa and over a wide temperature range of −40 ºC to 130 ºC. The sensor comes in an industry-leading 4 mm x 4 mm x 1.98 mm, restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS) compliant, high power quad flat no lead (HQFN) package[1] suitable for small PCB integration. Its AEC-Q100[2] compliance, high accuracy, reliable performance, and high media resistivity make it ideal for use in automotive, industrial, and consumer applications.
