APPLICATION NOTES

CPS120 Digital Low Pressure Sensor/Digital Barometer
digital-low

Brief Description:

The CPS120 is a high-quality, low-cost capacitive absolute pressure sensor solution with a compensated digital pressure and temperature output for low pressure applications, such as vacuum and barometric sensing. Low current consumption

The Consensic's absolute capacitive pressure sensor comprises of a hermetic silicon to silicon fused top and bottom electrode with an internal vacuum cavity. Our proprietary TSV (Through Silicon Via) technology enables the charge transduction from the top of one electrode to the bulk of the silicon. This TSV enabling technology sets Consensic apart from traditional sensors, allowing the delivery of robust and highly reliable sensors to any application

The CSP120 SiP (System-in-a-Package) solution comprises of an ultra-small capacitive MEMS pressure sensor and a conditioning ASIC for accurate pressure measurements in the 70kPa to 110kPa range. An integrated sigma-delta based ADC combined with internal calibration logic provides fully compensated temperature and pressure measurements to the application via the SPI or I²C interface. There is no need to separately download internal calibration coefficients and have the host microcontroller conduct complicated compensation calculations. The compensated values are simply scaled to produce highly accurate, compensated pressure and temperature measurements. Two selectable modes (Normal and Sleep) and an external “Measurement Ready” pin ensure operational flexibility suitable for an unlimited range of applications.
