DA54XX_020 000054XX280 ECN1882 www.meas-spec.com 4/9 Nov. 20, 2012 MS54XX Miniature SMD Pressure Sensor APPLICATION INFORMATION GENERAL The MS54XX is a miniaturized absolute pressure sensor series which has been designed as a surface mount device (SMD). Its main advantages are the high performance of the semiconductor sensor and a design which makes it suitable for applications requiring small dimensions and cost efficiency. The sensor element of the MS54XX consists of a micromachined silicon membrane with borosilicate glass wafer-bonded under vacuum to the back side for reference pressure. Implanted resistors make use of the piezoresistive effect to sense pressure applied to the membrane. The sensor is mounted using a special process allowing best offset stability making the device suitable for direct PCB assembly. Typical applications for this miniaturized pressure sensor MS54XX are altitude measurements and the measurement of atmospheric reference pressure in medical and industrial equipment as well as in automotive and household applications, consumer electronics and pneumatics. Full Scale Pressure 1 bar 7 bar 12 bar 70 bar High Sensitivity Versions (MS54XX-AX) Variometer, Altimeter, Barometer Divers Watch, Tire Pressure, Electronic Scale High Linearity Versions (MS54XX-BX) High End Altimeter, Medical Instrumentation High End Electronic Scale Pneumatic Brake, Diving Computer Engine Control, Diving Computer HUMIDITY, WATER PROTECTION MS54XX-XM WITH METAL CAP The MS54XX-AM / - BMXXBA has an anticorrosive and antimagnetic metallic protection cap filled with silicone gel for enhanced protection against humidity. The properties of this gel ensure function of the sensor even when in direct water contact. This feature can be useful for waterproof watches or other applications, where direct water contact cannot be avoided. Nevertheless the user should avoid drying of hard materials like for example salt particles on the silicone gel surface. In this case it is advisable to rinse with clean water afterwards. Special care has to be taken not to mechanically damage the gel. Damaged gel may lead to air entrapment and consequently to unstable sensor signal, especially if the damage is close to the sensor surface. The metal cap is fabricated of special anticorrosive alloy in order to avoid any galvanic effects within the end product. The MS5401-BM is qualified referring to the ISO Standard 2281 and can withstand a pressure of 11 bar in salt water. The concentration of the sea water used for the qualification is 41 g of sea salt per 1 litre of DI water. The MS5407-BM satisfies salt-water testing with a pressure capability of 21 bar. For underwater operations as specified in ISO Standard 2281 it is important to seal the sensor with a rubber Oring around the metal cap. Any salt water reaching the contact side (ceramic and pads) of the sensor could lead to permanent damage. Especially for "water-resistant 100 m" watches and for diving computers, it is recommended to provide a stable mechanical pusher from the backside of the sensor; otherwise the overpressure may push the sensor backwards and even deform the electronic board on which the sensor is mounted. LIGHT SENSITIVITY The MS54XX is sensitive to sunlight (visible and near-infrared spectrum). This is due to the strong photo effect of silicon. As the effect is reversible there will be no damage, but the user has to take care that in the final product the sensor cannot be exposed to direct light during operation as it effects the measurement. This can be achieved for instance by placing mechanical parts with holes in such that light cannot pass.

This can be important for applications in watches and other special devices, and will also reduce mechanical stress on the device. For applications subjected to mechanical shock, it is recommended to enhance the mechanical reliability of the solder junctions by covering the rim or the corners of MS54XX ceramic substrate with glue or globtop-like material. SOLDERING Please refer to the application note AN808 for all soldering issues. CLEANING The MS54XX has been manufactured under clean-room conditions. Each device is inspected for homogeneity and cleanness of the silicone gel. It is therefore recommended to assemble the sensor under class 10 000 or better conditions. Should this not be possible, it is recommended to protect the sensor opening during assembly from entering particles and dust. To avoid cleaning of the PCB, solder paste of type "no-clean" must be used. Cleaning might damage the sensor.
