SEMICONDUCTOR TECHNICAL DATA
The MPX100 series device is a silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor providing a very
accurate and linear voltage output — directly proportional to the applied pressure. This
standard, low cost, uncompensated sensor permits manufacturers to design and add
their own external temperature compensating and signal conditioning networks.
Compensation techniques are simplified because of the predictability of Motorola’s single
element strain gauge design.

VOLTAGE OUTPUT versus APPLIED DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE
The differential voltage output of the X–ducer is directly proportional to the differential
pressure applied.
The absolute sensor has a built–in reference vacuum. The output voltage will decrease
as vacuum, relative to ambient, is drawn on the pressure (P1) side.
The output voltage of the differential or gauge sensor increases with increasing
pressure applied to the pressure (P1) side relative to the vacuum (P2) side. Similarly,
output voltage increases as increasing vacuum is applied to the vacuum (P2) side
relative to the pressure (P1) side.

NOTES:
1. 1.0 kPa (kiloPascal) equals 0.145 psi.
2. Device is ratiometric within this specified excitation range. Operating the device above the specified excitation range may induce additional
error due to device self–heating.
3. Full Scale Span (VFSS) is defined as the algebraic difference between the output voltage at full rated pressure and the output voltage at the
minimum rated pressure.
4. Offset (Voff) is defined as the output voltage at the minimum rated pressure.
5. Accuracy (error budget) consists of the following:
• Linearity:
Output deviation from a straight line relationship with pressure, using end point method, over the specified
pressure range.
• Temperature Hysteresis: Output deviation at any temperature within the operating temperature range, after the temperature is
cycled to and from the minimum or maximum operating temperature points, with zero differential pressure
applied.
• Pressure Hysteresis:
Output deviation at any pressure within the specified range, when this pressure is cycled to and from the
minimum or maximum rated pressure, at 25°C.
• TcSpan:
Output deviation at full rated pressure over the temperature range of 0 to 85°C, relative to 25°C.
• TcOffset:
Output deviation with minimum rated pressure applied, over the temperature range of 0 to 85°C, relative
to 25°C.
• TCR:
Zin deviation with minimum rated pressure applied, over the temperature range of – 40°C to +125°C,
relative to 25°C.
6. Response Time is defined as the time for the incremental change in the output to go from 10% to 90% of its final value when subjected to
a specified step change in pressure.
7. Common mode pressures beyond specified may result in leakage at the case–to–lead interface.
8. Exposure beyond these limits may cause permanent damage or degradation to the device.
9. Offset stability is the product’s output deviation when subjected to 1000 hours of Pulsed Pressure, Temperature Cycling with Bias Test.

Motorola Sensor Device Data
LINEARITY
Linearity refers to how well a transducer’s output follows
the equation: Vout = Voff + sensitivity x P over the operating
pressure range (see Figure 2). There are two basic methods
for calculating nonlinearity: (1) end point straight line fit or (2)
a least squares best line fit. While a least squares fit gives
the “best case” linearity error (lower numerical value), the
calculations required are burdensome.
Conversely, an end point fit will give the “worse case” error
(often more desirable in error budget calculations) and the
calculations are more straightforward for the user. Motorola’s
specified pressure sensor linearities are based on the end
point straight line method measured at the midrange
pressure.
TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
Figure 3 shows the typical output characteristics of the
MPX100 series over temperature.
The X–ducer piezoresistive pressure sensor element is a
semiconductor device which gives an electrical output signal
proportional to the pressure applied to the device. This device uses a unique transverse voltage diffused semiconductor strain gauge which is sensitive to stresses produced in a
thin silicon diaphragm by the applied pressure.
Because this strain gauge is an integral part of the silicon
diaphragm, there are no temperature effects due to differences in the thermal expansion of the strain gauge and the
diaphragm, as are often encountered in bonded strain gauge
pressure sensors. However, the properties of the strain
gauge itself are temperature dependent, requiring that the
device be temperature compensated if it is to be used over
an extensive temperature range.
Temperature compensation and offset calibration can be
achieved rather simply with additional resistive components
or by designing your system using the MPX2100 series
sensors.
Several approaches to external temperature compensation over both – 40 to +125°C and 0 to + 80°C ranges are
presented in Motorola Applications Note AN840.

Motorola Sensor Device Data
The MPX100 series pressure sensor operating characteristics and internal reliability and qualification tests are based
on use of dry air as the pressure media. Media other than dry
air may have adverse effects on sensor performance and
long term reliability. Contact the factory for information regarding media compatibility in your application.

PRESSURE (P1)/VACUUM (P2) SIDE IDENTIFICATION TABLE
Motorola designates the two sides of the pressure sensor
as the Pressure (P1) side and the Vacuum (P2) side. The
Pressure (P1) side is the side containing silicone gel which
isolates the die from the environment. The differential or
gauge sensor is designed to operate with positive differential

for vacuum applied to P1 side.
