MS7904 PRESSURE SENSOR DIE (0-4 BAR) • • • • • 0 to 400 kPa range (4 bar or 58 PSI) Absolute/differential pressure sensors High linearity, small size High overpressure capability (15 bar) RoHS-compatible & Pb-free1 DESCRIPTION The sensor element of the MS7904 consists of a silicon micro-machined membrane. Implanted resistors make use of the piezo-resistive effect to sense the membrane deflection and transform it in an electrical signal. This sensor, which has outstanding linearity and span values, is available in various configurations. The absolute pressure sensor employs a sealed vacuum reference cavity underneath the membrane. The Pyrex glass wafer used for this sealing has a thickness of 0.2 mm (MS7904-A_0.2) or 0.5 mm (MS7904-A_0.5). Two gauge versions are available: one with a drilled Pyrex glass (MS7904-D) and the other without Pyrex glass (MS7904-S). FEATURES • • • Uncompensated pressure sensor die Output span 150mV @ 5V Temperature range -40°…+125°C • • • Linearity 0.05% (typical) Very small die size 1.72 x 1.58 mm (MS7904-A) Low cost, high reliability • • Engine controls Dive computers APPLICATION • • Absolute pressure sensor systems Differential/gauge pressure sensor systems ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Positive output for pressure applied topside Vs+ EPI Vs+ : Supply voltage of Wheatstone bridge Epi : Connection of epitaxial layer (membrane) Out- Out+ Out- : Negative output Out+ : Positive output GND1 : Ground GND2 : Ground GND1 GND2 1 The European RoHS directive 2002/95/EC (Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment) bans the use of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium and polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE). DA7904_000.doc 000079041579 ECN 1186 May 8, 2009 1/5 BOND PAD CONFIGURATION Vs+ Epi Important remarks: Out- MS7912 As the sensing elements are diffused resistances, the voltage applied on the ground pads (GND1 and GND2) has to be lower than the voltage applied on supply voltage pad (Vs+). Out+ The epitaxial layer is connected to the Vs+ pin under the pad. GND1 Gold ball bonding or aluminium wedge bonding can be used to wire-bond the sensor. The quality of the wire-bonding is equipment and process dependant. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that a thorough wire-bonding qualification is made by the end user if the sensor is going to be operated over an extended temperature range.

PICKING TOOLS The MS7904 sensors have a sensitive membrane size of 0.5 x 0.5 mm and outer dimensions of 1.72 x 1.58 mm (MS7904-A_0.2, MS7904-A_0.5 and MS7904-D) and 1.75 x 1.61mm (MS7904-S). The pick and place tool has to be of a soft material such as rubber (Hardness 78-97 Shore A). Its external size must fit the sensor and the vacuum cavity must be as large as the membrane itself. Successful tests have been made with specific SPT tools, see SPT drawing and references below. Ensure that the ejection pins do not touch the membrane for gauge versions.
