Miniature I2C Digital Barometer
MPL115A2
The MPL115A2 is an absolute pressure sensor with a digital I2C output targeting
low cost applications. A miniature 5 x 3 x 1.2 mm LGA package is ideally suited
for the space constrained requirements of portable electronic devices. Low
current consumptions of 5 μA during Active mode and 1 μA during Shutdown
(Sleep) mode are essential when focusing on low-power applications. The wide
operating temperature range spans from -40°C to +105°C to fit demanding
environmental conditions.
50 to 115 kPa
The MPL115A2 employs a MEMS pressure sensor with a conditioning IC to
provide accurate pressure measurements from 50 to 115 kPa. An integrated
ADC converts pressure and temperature sensor readings to digitized outputs via
a I2C port. Factory calibration data is stored internally in an on-board ROM.
Utilizing the raw sensor output and calibration data, the host microcontroller
executes a compensation algorithm to render Compensated Absolute Pressure
with ±1 kPa accuracy.

5.0 mm x 3.0 mm x 1.2 mm
The MPL115A2 pressure sensor’s small form factor, low power capability,
precision, and digital output optimize it for barometric measurement
applications.

Figure 2. Sequence Flow Chart
The MPL115A interfaces to a host (or system) microcontroller in the user’s application. All communications are via I2C. A typical
usage sequence is as follows:
Initial Power-up
All circuit elements are active. I2C port pins are high impedance and associated registers are cleared. The device then enters
standby mode.
Reading Coefficient Data
The user then typically accesses the part and reads the coefficient data. The main circuits within the slave device are disabled
during read activity. The coefficients are usually stored in the host microcontoller local memory but can be re-read at any time.
It is not necessary to read the values stored in the host microcontroller multiple times because the coefficients within a device
are constant and do not change. However, note that the coefficients will be different from device to device, and cannot be used
for another part.
Data Conversion
This is the first step that is performed each time a new pressure reading is required which is initiated by the host sending the
CONVERT command. The main system circuits are activated (wake) in response to the command and after the conversion
completes, the result is placed into the Pressure and Temperature ADC output registers.
The conversion completes within the maximum conversion time, tc (see Row 7, in the Operating Characteristics Table). The
device then enters standby mode.
Compensated Pressure Reading
After the conversion has been given sufficient time to complete, the host microcontroller reads the result from the ADC output
registers and calculates the Compensated Pressure, a barometric/atmospheric pressure value which is compensated for
changes in temperature and pressure sensor linearity. This is done using the coefficient data from the MPL115A and the raw
sampled pressure and temperature ADC output values, in a compensation equation (detailed later). Note that this is an absolute
pressure measurement with a vacuum as a reference.
From this step the host controller may either wait and then return to the Data Conversion step to obtain the next pressure reading
or it may go to the Shutdown step.

Shutdown
For longer periods of inactivity the user may assert the SHDN input by driving this pin low to reduce system power consumption.
This removes power from all internal circuits, including any registers. In the shutdown state, the Pressure and Temperature
registers will be reset, losing any previous ADC output values.
This step is exited by taking the SHDN pin high. Wait for the maximum wakeup time, tw (see Row 8, in the Operating
Characteristics Table), after which another pressure reading can be taken by transitioning to the data Conversion step.

*These registers are set to 0x00. These are reserved, and were previously utilized as Coefficient values, c11 and
c22, which were always 0x00.
For values with less than 16 bits, the lower LSBs are zero. For example, c12 is 14 bits and is stored into 2 bytes as follows:
c12 MS byte = c12[13:6] = [c12b13 , c12b12 , c12b11 , c12b10 , c12b9 , c12b8 , c12b7 , c12b6]

Compensation
The 10-bit compensated pressure output, Pcomp, is calculated as follows:
Pcomp = a0 + ( b1 + c12 ⋅ Tadc ) ⋅ Padc + b2 ⋅ Tadc
Eqn. 1
Where:
Padc is the 10-bit pressure ADC output of the MPL115A
Tadc is the 10-bit temperature ADC output of the MPL115A
a0 is the pressure offset coefficient
b1 is the pressure sensitivity coefficient
b2 is the temperature coefficient of offset (TCO)
c12 is the temperature coefficient of sensitivity (TCS)
Pcomp will produce a value of 0 with an input pressure of 50 kPa and will produce a full-scale value of 1023 with an input pressure
of 115 kPa.
Pressure (kPa) = P comp

I2C Device Read/Write Operations
All device read/write operations are memory mapped. Device actions e.g. “Start Conversions” are controlled by writing to the
appropriate memory address location.
•
•
For I2C the 7-bit Device Address (from Table 2) has a read/write toggle bit, where the least significant bit is ‘1’ for read
operations or ‘0’ for write operations. The Device Address is 0xC0 for a Write and the Device Address is 0xC1 for a Read.
The most significant bit in the Command tables below is not used and is don't care (X). In examples given it’s set to ‘0’.
Refer to Sensor I2C Setup and FAQ Application Note AN4481 for more information on I2C communication between the sensor
and host controller.

2.
Use SAC solder alloy (i.e., Sn-Ag-Cu) with a melting point of about 217°C. It is recommended to use SAC305
(i.e., Sn-3.0 wt.% Ag-0.5 wt.% Cu).
Reflow
•
•
•
•
•
•
Ramp up rate: 2 to 3°C/s.
Preheat flat (soak): 110 to 130s.
Reflow peak temperature: 250°C to 260°C (depends on exact SAC alloy composition).
Time above 217°C: 40 to 90s (depends on board type, thermal mass of the board/quantities in the reflow).
Ramp down: 5 to 6°C/s.
Using an inert reflow environment (with O2 level about 5 to 15 ppm).

Handling Recommendations
It is recommended to handle the MPL115A pressure sensor with a vacuum pick and place tool. Sharp objects utilized to move
the MPL115A pressure sensor increase the possibility of damage via a foreign object/tool into the small exposed port.
The sensor die is sensitive to light exposure. Direct light exposure through the port hole can lead to varied accuracy of pressure
measurement. Avoid such exposure to the port during normal operation.
Please note that the Pin 1 designator is on the bottom of the package. Do not use the port as a orientation reference in production.

Soldering/Landing Pad Information
The LGA package is compliant with the RoHS standard. It is recommended to use a no-clean solder paste to reduce cleaning
exposure to high pressure and chemical agents that can damage or reduce life span of the Pressure sensing element.
