The MPX2100 series devices silicon piezoresistive pressure sensors
providing a highly accurate and line ar voltage output directly proportional to
the applied pressure. The sensor is a single, monolithic silicon diaphragm
with the strain gauge and a thin-film resistor network integrated on-chip.
The chip is laser trimme d for precise span and offset calibration an

Voltage Output versus Applied Differen tial Pressure
The differential voltage output of the sensor is directly
proportional to the differential pressure applied.
The absolute sensor has a built-in reference vacuum. The
output voltage will decrease as vacuum, relative to ambient,
is drawn on the pressure (P1) side.
The output voltage of the differential or gauge sensor
increases with increasing pressure applied to the pressure
side (P1) relative to the vacuum side (P2). Similarly, output
voltage increases as increasing vacuum is applied to the
vacuum side (P2) relative to the pressure side (P1).

Linearity: Output deviation from a straight line relationship with pressure, using end point method, over the specified
pressure range.
Temperature Hysteresis: Output deviation at any temperature within the operating temperature range, after the temperature is cycled to and
from the minimum or maximum operating temperature points, with zero differential pressure applied.
Pressure Hysteresis: Output deviation at any pressure within the specified range, when this pressure is cycled to and from the minimum
or maximum rated pressure, at 25°C.
TcSpan: Output deviation at full rated pressure over the temperature range of 0 to 85°C, relative to 25°C.

LINEARITY
Linearity refers to how well a transducer's output follows
the equation: Vout = Voff + sensitivity x P over the operating
pressure range. There are two basic methods for calculating
nonlinearity: (1) end point straight line fit (see Figure 2) or (2)
a least squares best line fit. While a least squares fit gives the
“best case” linearity error (lower numerical value ) , th e
calculations required are burdensome.
Conversely , an end point fit will give the “worst case” error
(often more desirable in error budget calculations) and the
calculations are more straightforward for the user . Motorola's
specified pressure sensor linearities are based on the end
point straight line method measured at the midrange
pressure.

Figure 3 shows the output characteristics of the
MPX2100 series at 25°C. The output is directly proportional
to the differential pressure and is essentially a straight line.
The effects of temperature on Full-Scale Span and Offset
are very small and are shown under Operating
Characteristics.
Figure 3. Output versus Pressure Differential
Figure 4. Cross-Sectional Diag ram (not to scale)
Figure 4 illustrates the absolute sensing configuration
(right) and the differential or gauge configuration in the basic
chip carrier (Case 344). A silicone gel isolates the die surface
and wire bonds from the environment, while allowing the
pressure signal to be transmitted to the silicon diaphragm.
The MPX2100 series pressure sensor operating
characteristics and internal reliability and quali fi c ation 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.

Pressure PRESSURE (P1)/VACUUM (P2) SIDE IDENTIFICATION TABLE
Freescale designates the two sides of the pressure sensor
as the Pressure (P1) side and the Vacuum (P2) side. The
Pressure (P1) side is the side containing the silicone gel
which isolates the die. The differential or gauge sensor is
designed to operate with positive differential pressure
applied, P1 > P2. The absolute sensor is designed for
vacuum applied to P1 side.
The Pressure (P1) side may be identified by using the
