Conditioned, Temperature
Compensated and Calibrated
The MPX4100A series Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor for
engine control is designed to sense absolute air pressure within the intake
manifold. This measurement can be used to compute the amount of fuel
required for each cylinder . The small form factor and high reliability of on-chip
integration makes the MAP sensor a logical and economical choice for
automotive system designers.
The MPX4100A series piezoresistive transducer is a state-of-the-art,
monolithic, signal conditioned, silicon pressure sensor . This sensor combines
advanced micromachining techniques, thin film metallization, and bipolar
semiconductor processing to provide an accurate, high level analog output
signal that is proportional to appli ed pressure.

On-chip Temperature Compensation and Calibration
Figure 2 illustrates an absolute sensing chip in the basic
chip carrier (Case 867). A fluorosilicone gel isolates the die
surface and wire bonds from the environment, while allowing
the pressure signal to be transmitted to the sensor
diaphragm. The MPX4100A series pressure sensor
operating characteristics, and internal reliability and
qualification tests are based on use of dry air as the pressure
media. Media, other than dry air, may have adverse effects on
sensor performance and long-term reliability. Contact the
factory for information regarding media compatibility in your
application.
Figure 3 shows the recommended decoupling circuit for
interfacing the output of the integrated sensor to the A/D input
of a microprocessor or microcontroller . Proper decoupling of
the power supply is recommended.
Figure 4 shows the sensor output signal relative to
pressure input. Typical, minimum, and maximum output
curves are shown for operation over a temperature range of
0° to 85°C using the decoupling circuit shown in Figure 3.
(The output will saturate outside of the specified pressure
range.)

PRESSURE (P1)/VACUUM (P2) SIDE IDENTIFICATION TABLE
The two sides of the pressure sensor are designated as
the Pressure (P1) side and the Vacuum (P2) side. The
Pressure (P1) side is the side containing fluorosilicone gel,
which protects the die from harsh media. The MPX pressure
sensor is designed to operate with positi ve differential
pressure applied, P1 > P2.
The Pressure (P1) side may be identified by using the
following table:
INFORMATION FOR USING THE SMALL OUTLIN E PACKAGE (CASE 482)
MINIMUM RECOMMENDED FOOTPRINT FOR SURFACE MOUNTED APPLICATIONS
Surface mount board layout is a critical portion of the total
design. The footprint for the surface mount packages must be
the correct size to ensure proper solder connection interface
between the board and the package. With the correct
footprint, the packages will self align when subjected to a
solder reflow process. It is always recommended to design
boards with a solder mask layer to avoid bridgi ng and
shorting between solder pads.
