MPVZ7025GP Overview
A pressure sensor is a transducer that converts an applied gas or liquid pressure into a proportional electrical signal. Within the broader component taxonomy, the MPVZ7025GP belongs to the sensor category, specifically piezoresistive MEMS pressure sensors, which sit under force/pressure transducers and ultimately fall within measurement and instrumentation semiconductors. The "GP" suffix indicates a compound (gauge) pressure variant with a side-port tube inlet suitable for through-hole or in-line pneumatic connection, while the chip outputs an analog voltage proportional to differential pressure rather than an absolute vacuum-referenced signal.
Key features include a calibrated analog output spanning 0.2 V to 4.7 V from a 5 V supply, on-chip temperature compensation from 0 °C to +85 °C, and a state-of-the-art monolithic signal-conditioned, temperature-compensated and calibrated silicon die. The transducer exhibits high accuracy across its compound range and is supplied fully calibrated, eliminating the need for external trim components in typical applications.
The MPVZ7025GP architecture is based on a piezoresistive Wheatstone-bridge implant diffused into a silicon diaphragm. Pressure applied to the diaphragm flexes the silicon, unbalancing the bridge and producing a differential output that is conditioned by on-chip ASIC circuitry and scaled to the 0.2 V-4.7 V output swing. Compared with discrete bridge designs, this integration removes external op-amp chains, simplifies firmware, and improves long-term drift behavior.
Typical applications include HVAC differential airflow, respiratory monitoring equipment, process monitoring and control, and appliance pressure sensing. The device is widely deployed in medical ventilators, gas-flow instrumentation, and industrial pneumatic systems where compact, calibrated, side-port pressure sensing is required.
When designing with this part, ensure the input supply is well-regulated at 5 V ±0.25 V (4.75 V-5.25 V), place a 0.01 µF decoupling capacitor close to Vs, and isolate the side port from direct water or particulate exposure. Output is ratiometric to the supply, so use the same 5 V reference for ADC conversion to preserve accuracy.

Typical Applications
MPVZ7025GP is suitable for 6 applications: HVAC Differential Airflow Sensing, Medical Respiratory and Ventilator Pressure Monitoring, Industrial Process Monitoring and Control, Appliance Pressure Sensing (Water/Air), Portable Gas-Flow Instrumentation, VAV Box and Building Damper Control.
HVAC Differential Airflow Sensing
The MPVZ7025GP is widely used in HVAC duct pressure measurement across building automation and energy-recovery ventilator systems. Its compound ±25 kPa range covers both positive (supply-air) and negative (return-air) duct pressures with a single calibrated sensor, eliminating the dual-sensor bridge required by unidirectional parts. The 0.2 V-4.7 V ratiometric analog output feeds directly into a 5 V ADC on the HVAC controller without external op-amps, and on-chip temperature compensation from 0 °C to +85 °C covers all typical commercial HVAC environments. The 8-SMD side-port tube package simplifies in-duct mounting and reduces BOM cost.
Recommended
Medical Respiratory and Ventilator Pressure Monitoring
In respiratory care equipment - ventilators, CPAP/BiPAP machines, and spirometers - the MPVZ7025GP measures airway and circuit pressure with the accuracy required for patient safety. Its compound range covers both inspiratory positive pressure and expiratory negative pressure on a single chip, while the 0.2 V-4.7 V analog output couples to ADC inputs on respiratory controllers with minimal signal-chain complexity. The on-chip calibration removes per-unit trim, supporting rapid medical-device qualification cycles. The 8-SMD side-port package integrates with disposable tubing manifolds while keeping the electronics side isolated from the gas path.
Recommended
Industrial Process Monitoring and Control
The MPVZ7025GP supports industrial process control loops where calibrated analog pressure readings drive PLCs, pump controllers, and filter-status indicators. Its ±25 kPa compound range suits hydraulic and pneumatic line monitoring, and the 0.2 V-4.7 V ratiometric output integrates with standard 5 V PLC analog input cards. The -40 °C to +125 °C operating envelope supports unheated cabinet installations. On-chip calibration eliminates field-trim procedures, while the 8-SMD package is compatible with automated SMT lines used in industrial controller production.
Recommended
Appliance Pressure Sensing (Water/Air)
Home appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers, and water heaters benefit from the MPVZ7025GP's combination of calibrated analog output and compound range for inlet/outlet pressure diagnostics. The 5 V supply matches typical appliance MCU rails, and the 8-SMD side-port package routes the pressure tube directly to the sensing die without long pneumatic runs that would slow response. On-chip temperature compensation maintains accuracy in heated environments such as boiler and dryer cabinets, supporting long-life consumer reliability targets.
Recommended
Portable Gas-Flow Instrumentation
Handheld and bench-top gas-flow meters and leak detectors use the MPVZ7025GP for accurate ±25 kPa compound measurement in field-portable form factors. The 5 V single-supply analog interface keeps power budgets low while supporting battery-powered designs with a small boost regulator. The on-chip calibration supports unit-to-unit consistency required for certification of leak-detector accuracy. The 8-SMD side-port package accepts the small-bore tubing typical of portable flow instruments, while the rugged surface-mount construction tolerates field handling.
Recommended
VAV Box and Building Damper Control
Variable-air-volume (VAV) HVAC terminal boxes and motorized damper actuators rely on differential pressure feedback to modulate airflow per zone demand. The MPVZ7025GP's compound ±25 kPa range captures both supply and return-side pressure swings on a single chip, reducing sensor count versus dual-gauge designs. The ratiometric analog output ties directly to standard VAV controller ADC inputs without scaling resistors, while the on-chip temperature compensation maintains accuracy across seasonal HVAC operating conditions. The 8-SMD side-port tube inlet mounts flush against standard duct-tap hardware.

Design Notes
The MPVZ7025GP requires a tightly regulated 5 V supply (4.75 V - 5.25 V) with low noise because the analog output is ratiometric to Vcc. Place a 0.01 µF decoupling capacitor as close as possible to the Vcc pin and a 1 µF bulk capacitor on the supply rail feeding the sensor. Any noise or drift on Vcc directly multiplies into the pressure reading; for best accuracy, derive the ADC reference voltage from the same 5 V node that powers the sensor rather than from a separate rail.
The 8-SMD gull-wing package has a side-mounted tube port that protrudes off the edge of the PCB; allocate board real estate and keep-out zones so the tube inlet is unobstructed. Use a continuous ground ring around the package and stitch vias along the perimeter to reduce EMI pickup on the analog output trace. Route the Vout trace away from switching converter inductors and high-current digital lines; a 10-20 mil guard trace tied to ground improves noise immunity on the high-impedance analog path.
Estimated: With a 5 V supply and a typical output impedance in the ~1 kΩ range, the sensor's Vout pin is sensitive to ADC input current. Use an ADC with input bias below 100 nA or buffer the output with a low-leakage op-amp follower. Add a small RC filter (1 kΩ + 100 nF) at the ADC input to roll off above-sensor-bandwidth noise if the application does not need the full sensor bandwidth. The output is ratiometric, so do not AC-couple the Vout signal to the ADC input.
Do not subject the side tube port to direct water jets, condensation drips, or particulate-laden flow without an upstream filter - the sensing diaphragm is exposed to the tube and can be damaged by water hammer or debris. Do not apply pressure outside the ±25 kPa specified range, as overpressure can permanently deform the silicon diaphragm and shift calibration. Avoid blocking the tube inlet during reflow soldering as trapped expanding air can damage the package.
