GENERAL DESCRIPTION

AMS 6916 is an OEM pressure sensors series

offering an analog voltage output in a compact

DIL package for assembly on printed circuit

boards (PCBs). The high-precision pressure

sensors feature a short circuit protected

ratiometric 0.5 … 4.5 V output and diagnostic

functions indicating sensor errors.

The sensors in the AMS 6916 series are digitally

calibrated, linearized and temperature

compensated with an operating temperature

range of -25 … 85 °C. Combining a high quality

piezoresistive MEMS sensing element with a

modern, mixed-signal conditioning ASIC on a

ceramic substrate the AMS 6916 achieves a small

total error band together with excellent long term

stability.

AMS 6916 sensors are available for all pressure

types in various pressure ranges: differential / relative pressure sensors in ranges from 0 … 5 mbar

up to 0 … 1 bar, absolute pressure sensors for

0 … 500 mbar and 0 … 1 bar and a barometric

type (700 … 1200 mbar). Bidirectional differential

pressure sensors are offered in ranges from

-5 … +5 mbar up to -1 … +1 bar. Custom specific

pressure ranges or further modifications are available on request.

The robust AMS 6916 are especially suitable for

precise low and medium differential pressure

measurements in applications, where a consequent miniaturization is required.
