The ABS5 is a digital output waterproof barometric pressure sensor that withstands in outdoor use. Its high waterproof performance enables itself to be applied to water depth measurement in addition to barometric pressure measurement . The ABS5 is smaller than our current product FPBS series. A built-in signal conditioning IC performs several correction calculations automatically. This enables users to obtain digital output data from the sensor without any cumbersome calculation. Figure 1, Figure 2 and Table 1 show an image of ABS5 series, an example of measurement and product specifications, respectively. New Products Digital Output Waterproof Barometric Pressure Sensor ABS5 Series Features 1. High waterproof performance The ABS5 is designed to withstand a pressure of 2MPa so that it works at a water depth of 100 meters. 2.Small size package The ABS5 has achieved small size package of f 4.0 mm¥1.85 mm. 3.Digital output The ABS5 execute all required calculation for signal conditioning, such as voltage amplification of sensor element, temperature compensation and analog to digital conversion, automatically. The sensor outputs compensated pressure and temperature data in digital format. 4.High resolution The ABS5 has a high pressure resolution of 0.02hPa which corresponds to a height change of 16 cm in atomosphere. Digital output Applications The ABS5 is suitable for various types of electronic devices that require barometer/altimeter or water-pressure gauge/depth gauge functions. Fig. 1.
