1 General description

The MPxx5010 series piezoresistive transducers are state-of-the-art monolithic silicon pressure sensors

designed for a wide range of applications, but particularly those employing a microcontroller or microprocessor

with A/D inputs. This transducer combines advanced micromachining techniques, thin-film metallization, and

bipolar processing to provide an accurate, high level analog output signal that is proportional to the applied

pressure. The axial port has been modified to accommodate industrial grade tubing.
