description

The FXPS7550D4S 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 20 kPa to 550 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.
