Integrated Silicon Pressure Sensor
for Manifold Absolute Pressure
Applications On-Chip Signal
Conditioned, Temperature
Compensated and Calibrated
The Freescale MPXAZ4100A 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 Freescale MAP sensor a logical and economical choice for
automotive system designers.
The MPXAZ4100A 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 applied pressure.
Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the internal circuitry integrated on a
pressure sensor chip.

Figure 2 illustrates an absolute sensing chip in the basic
chip carrier (Case 482).
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.
A gel die coat isolates the die surface and wire bonds from
the environment, while allowing the pressure signal to be
transmitted to the sensor diaphragm. The gel die coat and
durable polymer package provide a media resistant barrier
that allows the sensor to operate reliably in high humidity
conditions as well as environments containing common
automotive media. Contact the factory for more information
regarding media compatibility in your specific 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.

INFORMATION FOR USING THE SMALL OUTLINE 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 bridging and
shorting between solder pads.
