1 General description

The FXPS7400A4S high-performance, high-precision absolute pressure sensor consists of a compact

capacitive micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) device coupled with a digital integrated circuit (IC)

producing a fully calibrated analog output.

This sensor is ideal for many automotive applications such as manifold air pressure (MAP), turbo MAP, comfort

seating, and other applications requiring operating absolute pressure ranges up to 400 kPa.

The sensing element is based on NXP's high precision capacitive pressure cell technology. The architecture

benefits from redundant pressure transducers as an expanded quality measure. It delivers highly accurate

ratiometric analog readings of absolute pressure while operating from either a 3.3 V or 5.0 V power supply.

The sensor operates over a pressure range of 20 kPa to 400 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 printed circuit board (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.
