MPXAZ6115AC6U Visão geral
A pressure sensor, also known as a pressure transducer, is a device that converts an applied pressure into an electrical signal. Absolute pressure sensors measure pressure relative to a sealed vacuum reference rather than ambient air. The MPXAZ6115AC6U belongs to the integrated silicon pressure sensor category (piezoresistive transducer -> MEMS pressure sensor -> pressure sensor -> sensor IC), which integrates the sensing element, signal conditioning, temperature compensation, and calibration on a single silicon die. These devices sit at the front of any pressure-measurement signal chain, feeding an ADC, microcontroller, or display driver.
Key differentiating features include on-chip bipolar op-amp signal conditioning, thin-film resistor networks for temperature compensation from -40C to +125C, and ratiometric analog output that scales with supply voltage (typically 5.0 V). The top-port tube mounting allows direct attachment to a manifold or sealed chamber via a 0.13" (3.17 mm) tube. Media-resistant packaging protects the silicon die from harsh gases and liquids, and the 8-SMD gull-wing form factor supports automated pick-and-place assembly.
Architecturally, the device uses a piezoresistive Wheatstone bridge micromachined into a silicon diaphragm. As pressure deflects the diaphragm, the bridge resistors change value proportionally, producing a differential output that the on-chip amplifier converts to a single-ended 0.2-4.7 V signal. Internal thin-film trim networks compensate temperature-induced drift across the full automotive operating range.
Typical applications include automotive manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensing, barometric altitude tracking, weather stations, HVAC pressure monitoring, and industrial process control. The 15 kPa lower bound (roughly -0.7 psi) makes it ideal for partial vacuum measurements down to high altitude (above 18,000 ft).
When designing with this sensor, always use a clean, regulated 5 V supply and decouple the supply pin with a 100 nF ceramic capacitor placed within 5 mm of the device. Ratiometric ADC sampling (using the same 5 V as the ADC reference) cancels supply-noise errors. Avoid exposing the top-port inlet to condensing moisture or particulates above 5 microns.

Aplicações típicas
MPXAZ6115AC6U é adequado para 6 aplicaçãos: Automotive Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensing, Barometric Altitude Tracking for Drones and UAVs, Weather Station Pressure Monitoring, HVAC System Pressure Monitoring, Medical Respiratory Equipment, Industrial Process Control.
Automotive Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensing
The MPXAZ6115AC6U is purpose-designed for MAP sensing in naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines. Its 15-115 kPa range covers full manifold vacuum at idle (typically 30-50 kPa) up to boost pressure at wide-open throttle (up to ~115 kPa absolute, equivalent to ~1.0 bar boost). The media-resistant 'Z' gel coating protects the die from fuel vapors, oil aerosols, and condensation inside the intake manifold. The 0.2-4.7 V ratiometric output feeds directly into the ECU's 5 V ADC without scaling. According to NXP's automotive sensor portfolio, this part is qualified for under-hood operation across the full -40C to +125C range with +/-1.5% Vfss accuracy.
Recomendado
Barometric Altitude Tracking for Drones and UAVs
The MPXAZ6115AC6U's 15 kPa lower bound makes it ideal for altitude hold in drones, where ambient pressure can drop below 60 kPa at altitudes above 4,500 m (14,800 ft). The on-chip temperature compensation maintains accuracy across the wide thermal swings encountered during rapid climbs and descents, while the top-port tube inlet accepts a flexible silicone tube for sealed enclosure mounting. According to NXP, the 4.5 V output span over a 100 kPa range yields approximately 45 mV per kPa, which translates to roughly 11 mV per meter of altitude when used with standard atmosphere equations.
Recomendado
Weather Station Pressure Monitoring
Consumer weather stations use the MPXAZ6115AC6U to log barometric pressure for forecasting, since its 15-115 kPa range covers all observed sea-level conditions (typically 98-105 kPa) plus high-altitude readings when the station is moved above 1,500 m. The 0.2-4.7 V output feeds a low-power MCU ADC, and the top-port tube inlet accommodates a sealed housing with waterproof cable gland. The ratiometric output scales cleanly with battery voltage, simplifying power management in battery-powered weather station designs.
Recomendado
HVAC System Pressure Monitoring
Commercial HVAC systems use the MPXAZ6115AC6U to monitor duct static pressure across air handlers, where the 15-115 kPa range accommodates both supply-side and return-side duct pressures. The media-resistant gel protects the die from airborne dust and humidity in plenums, while the top-port tube inlet accepts standard pneumatic tubing. The 5 V supply and 0.2-4.7 V output integrate cleanly with industrial PLC analog input modules rated 0-10 V when scaled by a simple resistor divider.
Recomendado
Medical Respiratory Equipment
The MPXAZ6115AC6U can monitor patient airway pressure in CPAP and BiPAP machines, where the 15-115 kPa range covers typical therapeutic pressures up to 20 cm H2O (~15 kPa gauge when starting from ambient). According to the NXP datasheet, the on-chip temperature compensation and +/-1.5% Vfss accuracy are adequate for non-critical respiratory monitoring, though medical-grade variants require additional validation. The media-resistant coating allows periodic alcohol-based disinfection of the inlet tube.
Recomendado
Industrial Process Control
Industrial process control loops use the MPXAZ6115AC6U to monitor sealed-tank vapor pressure where the absolute-pressure reference prevents drift from atmospheric changes. The 15-115 kPa range covers typical process vessels from partial vacuum to 2 bar absolute, and the top-port tube inlet accepts standard 1/8" NPT fittings via silicone tubing. According to NXP's industrial sensor portfolio, the 5 V ratiometric output interfaces cleanly with 4-20 mA loop transmitters when scaled by a precision current-loop converter.

Notas de projeto
The MPXAZ6115AC6U requires a clean, regulated 5.0 V supply. Place a 100 nF ceramic decoupling capacitor within 5 mm of the Vcc pin (pin 1) to suppress high-frequency noise from the supply. For ratiometric ADC sampling, derive the ADC voltage reference from the same 5 V rail used to power the sensor; this cancels supply-noise errors and improves effective accuracy by 1-2 LSBs at 12-bit resolution.
Do not block the central pressure inlet port on the top of the package with conformal coating, potting compound, or solder flux residue - any blockage will shift the pressure measurement or cause a permanent zero offset. If conformal coating is required, mask the inlet port and the surrounding 2 mm clearance zone. Additionally, avoid exposing the inlet to direct water jets or particulates above 5 microns, as the gel coating protects the die but not the inlet passage.
Route the analog output trace (pin 3) as a short, guarded track on a separate layer from noisy digital or switching signals. Keep the trace impedance low by using a wide ground-return path directly beneath the output trace. If the output must travel more than 50 mm, add an RC low-pass filter (100 ohm + 100 nF) at the ADC input to suppress coupled noise, with the corner frequency set above the fastest expected pressure change rate (1 kHz is typical for MAP applications).
