MPVZ5004G6T1 Overview
A piezoresistive transducer is a MEMS device in which implanted strain gauges on a silicon diaphragm change resistance when deflected by applied pressure; an integrating electronics device with on-chip conditioning, temperature compensation, and calibration amplifies and linearizes the raw bridge output into a useable analog voltage. Pressure sensors sit at the bottom of the sensor signal chain (sensor -> signal conditioner -> ADC -> microcontroller), and the MPVZ5004G6T1 is an integrated transducer whose calibration eliminates the need for external analog trimming by the user.
Key features include an operating pressure span of 0 to 3.92 kPa, an output voltage span of 1 V to 4.9 V at 5 V supply, a sensitivity of approximately 1 V/kPa, and a 5 V typical supply voltage (5 V max 5.25 V). The MPVZ5004G6T1 is part of the MPxx5004 family (MPXV5004G and MPVZ5004G series), built with thin-film metallization and bipolar semiconductor processing.
The transducer combines an implanted strain gauge with advanced micromachining techniques, thin-film metallization, and bipolar processing to deliver a temperature-compensated, calibrated analog voltage directly to a microcontroller ADC. A vented gauge reference port at the package rear exposes the back side of the diaphragm to ambient atmosphere, so output reflects the differential pressure between the front port and the local atmosphere.
Typical applications include HVAC variable-air-volume (VAV) controls, weather station barometric pressure monitoring, respiratory and spirometry equipment, medical monitoring devices, altitude estimation in portable electronics, and small appliance pressure feedback. The vented gauge topology makes it directly suitable where atmospheric reference is desired.
When designing with this device, place a 0.1 uF decoupling capacitor as close as possible to the supply pin and keep the analog output trace short to minimize noise pickup. Vented gauge sensors must be exposed to ambient pressure through a clean hydrophobic vent, and the inlet port must be protected from contamination and direct water exposure.

Typical Applications
MPVZ5004G6T1 is suitable for 6 applications: HVAC Variable-Air-Volume (VAV) Controls, Weather Station Barometric Pressure, Respiratory and Spirometry Equipment, Altitude Estimation in Portable Electronics, Small Appliance Pressure Feedback, Industrial Airflow and Filter Monitoring.
HVAC Variable-Air-Volume (VAV) Controls
The MPVZ5004G6T1 is ideal for HVAC VAV box control where low-pressure air duct feedback is required. Its 0-3.92 kPa range covers typical duct static-pressure spans, and the vented gauge reference automatically compensates for altitude and barometric pressure changes. The 1 V to 4.9 V ratiometric output feeds a 5 V ADC on the HVAC controller MCU without external signal conditioning. On-chip temperature compensation eliminates the need for firmware offset tables across the 0C to +85C operating range.
Recommended
Weather Station Barometric Pressure
The MPVZ5004G6T1 delivers calibrated barometric pressure measurement for consumer weather stations when paired with a higher-range companion for absolute pressure. The vented gauge topology allows direct reading of differential pressure relative to local atmosphere. The 8-SMD surface-mount package fits compact consumer enclosures, and the 5 V supply is well-suited to mains-powered weather station designs. On-chip calibration provides sub-percent accuracy without field trimming.
Recommended
Respiratory and Spirometry Equipment
The MPVZ5004G6T1 is suitable for low-pressure medical applications such as spirometry flow sensing and respiratory effort monitoring. Its 0-3.92 kPa range matches the differential pressure drops across flow elements used in spirometers. The calibrated analog output simplifies FDA-cleared medical device designs by reducing firmware compensation burden. Note: this part is not AEC-Q100 qualified, so additional validation is needed for production medical devices.
Recommended
Altitude Estimation in Portable Electronics
The MPVZ5004G6T1 can be used in portable devices for altitude estimation when paired with an absolute pressure reference, although its 0-3.92 kPa range is limited. The vent port exposed to atmosphere provides the differential measurement. The 8-SMD module fits compact portable form factors. Designers should account for weather-system barometric drift since this sensor measures differential rather than absolute pressure.
Recommended
Small Appliance Pressure Feedback
The MPVZ5004G6T1 provides low-pressure feedback in small appliances such as vacuum cleaners, coffee machines, and CPAP-style consumer devices. The 0-3.92 kPa range covers typical suction or pressure monitoring spans. The ratiometric output interfaces directly to a 5 V appliance controller. The surface-mount 8-SMD module enables compact consumer appliance form factors.
Recommended
Industrial Airflow and Filter Monitoring
The MPVZ5004G6T1 suits industrial airflow monitoring across HVAC filters and clean-room pressure differential measurement. Its 0-3.92 kPa range is well-matched to typical filter pressure-drop monitoring. The vented gauge reference eliminates the need for a separate atmospheric reference sensor. The 0C to +85C operating range covers most industrial environments, and the calibrated output reduces field-service calibration requirements.

Design Notes
Place a 0.1 uF decoupling capacitor as close as possible to the VCC pin to suppress supply noise. The MPVZ5004G6T1 output is ratiometric to VCC - any noise or ripple on the supply will appear directly on the output. For high-accuracy applications, use a low-noise LDO (e.g., MAX150ACWP) rather than a switching supply for sensor excitation.
Keep analog output traces short and routed away from digital signals or switching power traces to minimize noise coupling. The vented gauge port on the package rear must be exposed to ambient atmosphere through a hydrophobic vent membrane to prevent contamination. Avoid sealing the vent port with conformal coating or potting compound.
Do not obstruct the front pressure port during PCB assembly. Do not subject the part to over-pressure beyond the maximum rating (per datasheet). The output is ratiometric - operating at 3.3 V instead of 5 V reduces output span proportionally. Calibration is on-chip and field-trimming is unnecessary; do not add external offset resistors.
The MPVZ5004G6T1 output impedance is sufficiently low to drive a 5 V ADC input directly, but adding a unity-gain op-amp buffer (e.g., MAX174AEPI) prevents ADC switching transients from disturbing the sensor output. For high-accuracy absolute pressure measurement, pair this sensor with a higher-range absolute pressure reference.
