It measures absolute pressure from 50 to 115 kPa with 12-bit resolution (0.015 kPa steps) and \u00b11 kPa accuracy. The device includes an integrated temperature sensor and factory-calibrated compensation coefficients stored in on-chip EEPROM. Communication is via a standard I2C interface at up to 400 kHz. The host reads raw pressure and temperature data along with calibration coefficients and performs the compensation calculation using the provided formula. At just 5 \u00b5A active current (1 sample\/second) and 1 \u00b5A in shutdown, the MPL115A2 is ideal for battery-powered weather stations and altimeters.","working_principle":"The MPL115A2 uses a piezoresistive MEMS pressure sensor element fabricated on a silicon die. The sensor consists of a thin silicon diaphragm with implanted piezoresistors forming a Wheatstone bridge. Atmospheric pressure deflects the diaphragm, changing the resistance of the piezoresistive elements and producing a differential voltage output proportional to pressure. The ASIC digitizes both the pressure bridge output and the on-chip temperature sensor using a 12-bit ADC. Temperature compensation is essential because piezoresistive elements have significant temperature coefficients. The factory stores unique calibration coefficients (a0, b1, b2, c12) in on-chip EEPROM. The host microcontroller reads the raw pressure and temperature ADC values along with these coefficients and applies the polynomial compensation formula: Pcomp = a0 + (b1 + c12 times Tadc) times Padc + b2 times Tadc, then scales to kPa. This approach achieves \u00b11 kPa accuracy over the full temperature range.","pin_description":"<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"4\">\n<tr><th>Pin<\/th><th>Name<\/th><th>Type<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr>\n<tr><td>1<\/td><td>SDA<\/td><td>I\/O<\/td><td>I2C serial data (open-drain)<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>2<\/td><td>GND<\/td><td>Power<\/td><td>Ground<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>3<\/td><td>VDD<\/td><td>Power<\/td><td>Supply voltage (2.375-5.5V)<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>4<\/td><td>SCL<\/td><td>Input<\/td><td>I2C serial clock<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>5<\/td><td>NC<\/td><td>-<\/td><td>No connect<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>6<\/td><td>NC<\/td><td>-<\/td><td>No connect<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>7<\/td><td>SHDN<\/td><td>Input<\/td><td>Shutdown (active high, connect to GND for normal)<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>8<\/td><td>RST<\/td><td>Input<\/td><td>Reset (active low, internal pull-up)<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/table>","application_scenarios":"<ul>\n<li><strong>Weather Stations:<\/strong> 50-115 kPa range and \u00b11 kPa accuracy for barometric pressure measurement and weather forecasting<\/li>\n<li><strong>Altitude Measurement:<\/strong> 12-bit resolution enables approximately 1.2m altitude resolution using the barometric formula<\/li>\n<li><strong>Indoor Navigation:<\/strong> Pressure-based floor detection in multi-story buildings where GPS is unavailable<\/li>\n<li><strong>Smartphones\/Tablets:<\/strong> Compact LGA package and 5 \u00b5A current enable integration into mobile devices<\/li>\n<li><strong>HVAC Systems:<\/strong> Barometric pressure compensation for airflow calculations in building automation<\/li>\n<\/ul>","alternative_models":"<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"4\">\n<tr><th>Model<\/th><th>Manufacturer<\/th><th>Key Difference<\/th><\/tr>\n<tr><td>MPL3115A2<\/td><td>NXP<\/td><td>20-110 kPa, 20-bit, SPI\/I2C, altitude mode<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>BMP280<\/td><td>Bosch<\/td><td>300-1100 hPa, I2C\/SPI, smaller package<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>DPS310<\/td><td>Infineon<\/td><td>300-1200 hPa, SPI\/I2C, \u00b10.5 hPa accuracy<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>LPS22HB<\/td><td>ST<\/td><td>260-1260 hPa, I2C\/SPI, embedded FIFO<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>BME280<\/td><td>Bosch<\/td><td>Pressure + humidity + temperature, I2C\/SPI<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/table>"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7811","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7811"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7811\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7811"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7811"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7811"},{"taxonomy":"chip_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chip_brand?post=7811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
