A plug–in module that is part of a systems development tool
set for pressure sensors is presented here. It provides an
analog signal from an MPX5000 series sensor to a Motorola
Sensor Development Controller, or can be used stand alone
to provide power and signal connections to the sensor.
PLUG–IN MODULE DESCRIPTION
A summary of information for using systems development
plug–in module ASB205 includes the schematic in Figure 2,
connector pinout in Figure 3, a pin by pin description of
functionality, specs in Tables 1–3, and a parts list in Table 4.
Figure 4 in the Applications section provides a quick reference
for making connections. A discussion of the design appears
under the heading Design Considerations.
Function
The plug–in module shown in Figure 1 is designed to supply
pressure and temperature inputs to a sensor development
controller. The sensor output is filtered and buffered with a
unity gain rail to rail amplifier. If desired, jumpers on the board
allow direct connection of the sensor output to the controller.
Connections are made through a DB–9 connector, which
allows this board to be plugged directly into its controller. If
physical separation is desired, a standard 9 wire
straight–through serial cable can be inserted between the two
boards. Alternately, connections for 5 volts, ground, and the
output signal can be made through screw terminals at the top
of the board. A socket for sensor connections makes changing
from one pressure range to another relatively easy.

DB–9 Connector
+5:
5 volt power is supplied through pin 5 on the DB–9 connector.
GND:
The ground connection is on pin one. It connects the sensor’s
analog ground to the controller’s digital ground.
KGND:
An additional ground connection, labeled KGND, is made on
pin 2. As shipped, KGND is tied to GND via jumper J1. If J1 is
opened, KGND provides a separate return for the temperature
sensor. This feature can be helpful if a cable is used between
the sensor module and its controller.

VS1:
The pressure sensor output signal, VS1, is on pin 3. This is the
sensor’s output, filtered and then buffered with a unity gain
amplifier. If direct connection to the sensor’s output is
preferred, it will appear on this pin when Jumper J2 is open,
and a wire is soldered into Jumper J3.
Test Points TP1–TP3, & GND
Test points TP1, TP2, & TP3 provide access to output
signals. TP1 is connected to the filtered and buffered pressure
sensor output signal. TP2 is connected to the thermistor
output signal, and TP3 is connected to sensor’s output. A test
point for ground is also provided.
VS2:
A temperature dependent output signal is supplied on pin 4.
It is supplied from a thermistor that has a nominal output
voltage of 2.5 volts at 25 degrees C. This thermistor sees a
temperature rise due to power dissipation on the board, and
typically reads several degrees higher than ambient in still air.
Indicator Lights
+5:
The +5 light is provided to indicate the presence of 5 volt
power.
CNTL:
A control signal is supplied on pin 6. It is normally high, and
switches low to light the RANGE light when the sensor’s full
scale pressure is exceeded. With code modifications, the
pressure at which this transition occurs can be changed, and
the signal used to control an external device.
Board Code:
A board code that lets the controller know that this is an
MPX5000 series module is supplied with a ground on pin 8
and an open on pin 7.

Pin 9:
There is no connection made to Pin 9 on this board. However,
power supply voltage B+ will be present on this pin when
plugged into a Motorola Sensor Development Controller.
Screw Terminals
Connections for +5, VS1, CNTL, KGND, & GND are wired
in parallel with the DB–9 connector. As shipped, KGND and
GND are tied together with Jumper J1. A no connect terminal
labeled, NC, is tied to Jumper J4 which is open. If a wire is
placed in J4, this terminal is then connected to the sensor
output.

RANGE:
The RANGE indicator light turns on when the sensor’s full
scale pressure range is exceeded.
APPLICATION EXAMPLE
An application example shown in Figure 4 illustrates system
connections to an ASB200 control board and a pressure
source. This arrangement can be run stand alone, or the
ASB200 can be connected to an MMDS or MMEVS system for
code development. The two boards are designed such that the
DB–9 connectors plug into each other. Once they are plugged
in it is only a matter of connecting a power supply and a
pressure source to get a system up and running. If physical
separation between the sensor location and the controller is
desired, a standard 9 wire straight–through serial cable can be
used between the two boards.
Measuring different pressure ranges is facilitated by using
a socket for the sensor that is supplied on the board. Pads for
an MPX5006 are also provided. To use the MPX5006, it is
necessary to have the 6 pin socket empty, snap in the
MPX5006, and then solder its leads to the pads that are
provided. The correct orientation is with its marking facing the
front of the board.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
capacitance, in the event that a cable is used between the
plug–in module and controller. For applications where the
sensor and micro–controller are on the same board, an
MC33502 is a better choice, due to its lower offset voltage.
CONCLUSION
The ASB205 plug–in module is part of a systems
development tool set for pressure sensors. It provides
pressure and temperature input signals to a Motorola Sensor
Development Controller, or can be used stand alone to
provide power and signal connections to MPX5000 series
sensors.

MPX5000 sensors are plug and play devices in most
applications,
particularly
when
connected
to
a
micro–controller with an 8 bit A/D converter. Although micro’s
with 8–bit A/D’s are most common, higher resolution A/D’s,
such as the one on the 68HC705JP7 in this tool set, are
becoming increasingly popular. With these higher resolution
A/D’s, the noise that is inherent to piezo–resistive bridges
becomes a design consideration. For that reason, the
sensor’s output is filtered with a single pole filter, and then
buffered with a unity gain buffer. An MC33202 rail to rail
operational amplifier was chosen for its ability to drive cable
