The MS52XX SMD pressure sensor series is designed for pressure sensor systems with highest demands on
resolution and accuracy. The device consists of a silicon micromachined pressure sensor die mounted on a 7.6 x
7.6 mm ceramic carrier protected by a metal cap. The MS52XX can be delivered in a highly sensitive version
giving a maximal output voltage or in a highly linear version giving a linear output voltage directly proportional to
the applied pressure.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
GENERAL
The MS52XX is a miniaturised absolute pressure sensor series that has been designed for surface mounting
applications. Its main advantages are the high reliability of the semiconductor sensor and a design which makes it
suitable for applications requiring small-scale and cost-efficient solutions.
The sensor element of the MS52XX consists of a micromachined silicone membrane with Pyrex glass waferbonded under vacuum to the backside for reference pressure. Implanted resistors make use of the piezoresistive effect to sense pressure applied to the membrane. The sensor is mounted in a special process allowing
best-offset stability making the part suitable for direct PCB assembly.
Typical applications for this miniaturised pressure sensor MS52XX are altitude measurements and the
measurement of atmospheric reference pressure in medical and industrial equipment as well as in automotive and
household applications, consumer electronics and pneumatics.

LIGHT SENSITIVITY
The MS52XX is sensitive to sunlight, especially to infrared light sources. This is due to the strong photo effect of
silicon. As the effect is reversible there will be no damage, but the user has to take care that in the final product
the sensor cannot be exposed to direct light during operation. This can be achieved for instance by placing
mechanical parts with holes in such way that light cannot go trough.
CONNECTION TO PCB
The package outline of the module allows the use of a flexible PCB to connect it. This can be important for
applications in watches and other special devices, and will also reduce mechanical stress on the device.
For applications subjected to mechanical shock, it is recommended to enhance the mechanical reliability of the
solder junctions by covering the rim or the corners of MS52XX ceramic substrate with glue or Globtop-like
material.
SOLDERING
Please refer to the application note AN808 for all soldering issues.
CLEANING
The MS52XX has been manufactured under cleanroom conditions. Each device has been inspected for the
homogeneity and the cleanness of the silicone gel. It is therefore recommended to assemble the sensor under
class 10’000 or better conditions. Should this not be possible, it is recommended to protect the sensor opening
during assembly from entering particles and dust. To avoid cleaning of the PCB, solder paste of type “no-clean”
shall be used. Cleaning might damage the sensor.
