Principal of Pressure detection
Omron’s 2SMPP series pressure sensors utilize a piezo-resistive type sensing element. Fig. 3.
shows image of overview of Piezo-resistive pressure sensor chip. The diaphragm (blue circle of a
Fig. a) is a thin disc, formed on a silicon wafer and deformed by pressure difference between upper
and lower. Piezoresistors(green part of Fig. b & Fig. c) are arranged on four points of this thin
diaphragm.

Piezoresistive pressure sensor image and state of change diaphragm
Atmospheric pressure (Light blue arrow) pushes down on the diaphragm, and the pressure to be
measured (Pink arrow in Fig. c) pushes up from the bottom of the diaphragm. In Fig. b, the target
pressure (green arrow) is equal to atmospheric pressure, so it is a condition that does not bend the
diaphragm. In Fig. c, the target pressure (Pink arrow) is bigger than atmospheric pressure (Light
blue arrow), so the diaphragm is pushed up. Under this condition, the deflection of the diaphragm
changes the piezoresistance's value on the upper surface of diaphragm.

[2SMPP-03] Application Note No.MDMK-12-0500
Fig. 4 shows how to convert from piezoresistance value change to output voltage change. If the
pressure applied to the upper and lower diaphragms are balanced, the bridge output voltage V0 is
represented by formula 1.1. In theory V0 is zero if R1=R2=R3=R4, as the voltage is generated by a
slight variation in manufacturing , and is defined as Voffset .
Upon deflection of the diaphragm, pressure equilibrium is broken and each of the resistances of the
piezoresistive are changed from R to R ± ⊿ R. Piezoresistive change in the resistance value which
is arranged diagonally as shown by the arrows in the figure has the same tendency (increase or
decrease). In case of the condition R=R1=R2=R3=R4 formula 1.1 applies, however when the
piezoresistive value has changed from R to R ± ⊿ R formula 1.2 applies. This voltage is called the
span voltage, by supplying a constant current I, the amount of change can be detected as a voltage
V0 resistance value change amount(⊿ R).
Since there are manufacturing variations in the piezoresistive R1/R2/R3/R4 as described above, the
approximate expression of the span voltage is found in formula 1.3.

Features of Product
As discussed in the section on the principle of pressure sensing, piezoresistive type sensors to
minimize the variation in piezoresistive leads to minimization of measurement error. By using
CMOS technology which is applied to the production of highly integrated semiconductor, our gauge
pressure sensor is able to achieve a good offset voltage, span voltage and temperature variation
characteristics.

Example of Recommended Circuit Diagram for 2SMPP-03
In such recommended circuit diagram, instrumentation amplifier such as Texas Instruments
LMV324 with four operational amplifies can be used for gain adjustment. A metal film resistor
with good temperature characteristics should be used for R3. In addition, it is necessary to adjust
the Ref voltage value connected to R10 according to the gain to be used. For example, if Gain =
21 then Ref = 1.0 [V], if Gain=201 then Ref = 1.5 [V] would be needed.
