MLX90817 - High Accuracy Pressure Sensor with Analog Output
Melexis has announced the release of MLX90817 as a new member of its portfolio of Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor solutions for use in harsh and non-harsh media applications, especially in the automotive sector. This new device can provide more traditional analog output voltage, which is an addition to the previous IC MLX90818. This new absolute pressure sensor IC with digital SENT output is factory calibrated to cover the range from 1.0bar to 5.5bar.
Features and benefits of MLX90817
- Best accuracy for factory calibrated pressure information
- Ratiometric analog output
- Large automotive temperature range (-40 °C to 150 °C)
- Automotive qualified and automotive diagnostic features (clamping levels, broken track diagnostics, multiple internal fault diagnostics)
- Factory calibrated or fully programmable or reconfigurable through the connector for customized calibration curves
- Assembled in a rugged and easy to use 4x5 mm DFN package
- Excellent harsh media compliance
Note: More Technical details can be found in the datasheet linked at the bottom of this page.
MLX90817 shares many unique features of MLX90818 such as harsh media compliance for some specific version and unmatched accuracy and small size.
