MPXA4100A6U 概要
An absolute pressure sensor is a transducer that measures pressure referenced to a sealed vacuum rather than to ambient atmospheric pressure. As a board-mount sensor with on-chip signal conditioning, temperature compensation, and calibration, the MPXA4100A6U belongs to the broader category of MEMS pressure sensors (micro-electro-mechanical systems) used in automotive engine control, environmental monitoring, and industrial process control hierarchies where reliable absolute pressure measurement is required.
Key features of the MPXA4100A6U include a transfer function of 54 mV/kPa, an accuracy of approximately +/-1.5% over 0 to 85 C, an operating temperature range of -40 C to +125 C, and a single 5 V supply (4.85 V to 5.35 V). The on-chip ASIC normalizes the raw piezoresistive bridge signal and applies factory calibration, eliminating the need for external compensation components. The output is ratiometric to Vcc, which improves noise immunity in noisy electrical environments.
The sensor integrates a silicon MEMS diaphragm with a Wheatstone piezoresistive bridge and a bipolar ASIC for signal conditioning. The bridge converts mechanical deflection into a differential voltage, while the ASIC amplifies, calibrates, and temperature-compensates the signal to produce a near-linear voltage output. The sealed vacuum reference underneath the diaphragm provides absolute pressure measurement independent of ambient conditions.
Typical applications include automotive manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensing in engine control units, barometric pressure measurement for altitude correction, HVAC pressure monitoring, and industrial pneumatic system control. The wide temperature range and calibrated output make it suitable for under-hood automotive applications where PCB space is constrained and external compensation components are undesirable.
When designing with this device, ensure the supply is well-regulated within 4.85 V to 5.35 V for specified accuracy. The output is ratiometric to Vcc, so any supply noise will scale with the output. Decoupling capacitors (typically 100 nF) close to Vcc and GND pins are recommended to suppress high-frequency supply noise.

主な用途
MPXA4100A6U の用途: 6 件s: Automotive Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensing, Barometric Pressure Measurement for Altitude Correction, HVAC Pressure Monitoring, Industrial Pneumatic System Control, Weather Stations and Environmental Monitoring, Dataloggers and Telematics.
Automotive Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensing
Why this part fits: The MPXA4100A6U's 20-105 kPa absolute range directly covers the manifold pressure window of naturally aspirated gasoline engines, where manifold vacuum at idle (~30 kPa) and atmospheric pressure (~100 kPa) set the operating envelope. The 54 mV/kPa transfer function and 0.3-4.9 V analog output feed directly into an ECU ADC without external gain stages. How it is used: The sensor mounts on the intake manifold via a vacuum hose to the vertical port; the ECU converts Vout to kPa using the calibration curve and uses it to compute engine air mass. The ratiometric output tracks Vcc variation, so a regulated 5 V supply preserves accuracy under cranking and load-dump transients.

Barometric Pressure Measurement for Altitude Correction
Why this part fits: The MPXA4100A6U's 20-105 kPa range spans the full sea-level-to-altitude barometric pressure window (101.3 kPa sea level down to ~70 kPa at 3000 m), and its calibrated output removes the need for software compensation. The -40 C to +125 C range supports outdoor and automotive underhood environments. How it is used: Mounted on the engine control board or weather station PCB, the sensor outputs a voltage proportional to local barometric pressure; a microcontroller reads the ADC and applies altitude correction to GPS, engine timing, or environmental telemetry. The 8-SMD footprint simplifies integration into compact IoT and telematics enclosures.
おすすめ
HVAC Pressure Monitoring
Why this part fits: HVAC refrigerant and air-handling systems operate in the 0-100 kPa range, which the MPXA4100A6U's 20-105 kPa span comfortably accommodates. The on-chip temperature compensation eliminates drift across the -40 C to +125 C operating range, critical for rooftop and outdoor HVAC units. How it is used: Installed in the air duct or refrigerant line, the sensor's analog output feeds a microcontroller that drives variable-speed fans or compressor inverters. The 5 V single-supply simplifies power design in 24 VAC-powered HVAC controllers when rectified and regulated locally.
おすすめ
Industrial Pneumatic System Control
Why this part fits: Factory pneumatic systems typically operate at 0-100 kPa, well within the MPXA4100A6U's 20-105 kPa window. The calibrated 0.3-4.9 V output interfaces directly with industrial PLC analog inputs without signal conditioning. How it is used: Mounted at manifold points along a pneumatic line, the sensor provides feedback to a PLC or industrial controller that regulates solenoid valves and actuators. The 8-SMD package supports high-density manifold PCB designs where multiple pressure points are monitored.
おすすめ
Weather Stations and Environmental Monitoring
Why this part fits: The MPXA4100A6U's absolute pressure reference and calibrated output make it a low-cost alternative to dedicated barometric modules for hobbyist and prosumer weather stations. The 54 mV/kPa sensitivity produces a large signal swing that simplifies low-resolution ADC readings. How it is used: Combined with temperature and humidity sensors, the MPXA4100A6U provides a third environmental axis; firmware converts voltage to hPa using the calibrated transfer function. The vertical port orientation accepts a flexible tube for enclosure-mounted designs.
おすすめ
Dataloggers and Telematics
Why this part fits: Telematics devices that log vehicle or environmental data benefit from the MPXA4100A6U's small 8-SMD footprint, calibrated output, and wide operating temperature. The absolute pressure reference is unaffected by enclosure altitude or weather, ideal for cross-fleet comparisons. How it is used: Mounted inside a telematics box, the sensor records manifold or ambient pressure at intervals and transmits aggregated data over cellular or satellite links. The 5 V supply is easily derived from a 12 V battery rail via a small LDO.

設計ノート
The MPXA4100A6U requires a regulated 5 V supply within 4.85 V to 5.35 V. Use a low-noise LDO such as LP2985 or a switching regulator followed by an LC filter, and place a 100 nF decoupling capacitor as close to the Vcc pin as possible. Because the output is ratiometric to Vcc, any supply noise above ~50 kHz couples directly into the pressure reading - add a bulk 10 uF cap if the supply is shared with switching circuitry.
The 8-SMD module uses a vertical port that requires clearance above the PCB for a vacuum hose or barbed fitting. Reserve at least 8 mm of vertical headroom and avoid placing tall components within 5 mm of the port opening. The package has a sealed vacuum reference on the back side; do not expose this side to conformal coating or mechanical stress, which can shift the absolute pressure calibration.
Do not assume the transfer function is exact across all units without calibration - lot-to-lot variation is typically +/-2% before factory calibration. Avoid exposing the sensor to pressures above 16.7 PSI without confirming the maximum overload rating, as diaphragm damage can permanently shift the output. The output is ratiometric; do not compare two sensors powered from different Vcc rails without accounting for the scaling factor Vcc / 5.0 V.
Route the analog output trace away from switching converter nodes and high-current traces to minimize coupled noise. Add an RC low-pass filter (10 kohm + 100 nF, fc ~160 Hz) at the ADC input if the host samples below 1 kHz to reject HVAC and motor-induced noise. Keep the ground return path short and use a ground plane under the sensor body to stabilize the ratiometric output.
