Sense the pressure

Posted

This pressure sensor is bound to become an instant hit in the engineering world. Highly structured 8-pin LGA frame, coupled with a stainless steel anti-magnetic cap. With different operation modes delivered for the best current consumption and conversion speed, accurate digitized 24-bit pressure and temperature values are given due an ultra-low power 24-bit Delta-sigma modulation operated with an internal factory calibration coefficient. As the communication protocol is ever simple, this sensor is compatible with most micro-controller communication interfaces on the market. With a temperature resolution of up to 0.003°C, you know this solution sounds great. As this solution is fully operational, just keep in mind that “no pressure”.

You don’t have to be part of a song of a music legend to be an acoustic cult classic. Introducing the new fully operational piezoresistive pressure sensor, dubbed “PSAL8-XS01” by acoustic’s visioner SOUND COMPONENTS LIMITED, to hit the tech “charts”. Modeled as a compact 8-pin Land Grid Array (LGA) packaging, coupled with an anti-magnetic stainless-steel cap, an accurate digitized 24-bit pressure and temperature values and different operation modes are delivered. That allows the average user to optimize conversion speed and current consumption. Based on Micro-Electromechanical System (MEMs) technology, the communication protocol is simplistic as it is compatible to most of the microcontroller communication interfaces on the market right now such as Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) or Inter-integrated Circuit (I²C).

Let me entertain you (with some more amazing features)? A delicate temperature resolution of 0.003°C has been achieved through a wonderful integration between a pressure signal having an extremely low hysteresis and high stability, and an internal integrated data processing module. Not only that, an accurate digitized 24-bit pressure and temperature values are a given. The end result of a high linearity pressure sensor placed within this high pressure-high performance packaged solution, and an ultra-low power 24-bit Delta-Sigma modulation (??ADC) with an internal factory calibration coefficient. These features further provide different operation modes for conversion speed and current consumption optimization.

With an average temperature accuracy of 0.5°C, and an operating temperature range from
-40°C to 85°C, this pressure reliever pressure sensor is extremely suited for a wide range of monitoring systems and appliances. These include barometers, mobile altimeters, indoor navigation and map AIDS, industrial pressure and temperature sensing systems, pressure and temperature data loggers, adventure and sports watches, gas meters, weather station equipment and oil contact applications among others.
