DESCRIPTION
The MS7212 is an absolute silicon micro-machined pressure sensor for harsh environment. A vacuum reference
cavity is sealed on top of the sensitive silicon membrane by the anodic bonding of a Pyrex™ cap. The pressure,
applied on the backside, is converted in electrical signal by piezo-resistors implanted in the silicon membrane.
To improve the sensor stability, a drilled Pyrex™ is bonded on the backside. As the pressure port consists of
Pyrex™ and silicon, both stable in most of the chemicals, the MS7212 is suitable for media-resistive
applications.

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).

Important remarks:
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+).
The epitaxial layer is connected to the Vs+ pin on the die.

NOTES
1) Deviation at one half full-scale pressure from the least squares best line fit over pressure range (0 to 12 bar).
2) Slope of the endpoint straight line from 25°C to 60°C.
3) Output deviation at any pressure within the specified range, when this pressure is cycled to and from the
minimum or maximum rated pressure, at 25°C.
4) Same as 3) after 10 pressure cycles
5) Maximum difference in offset after one thermal cycle from -40°C to +125°C.

PICKING TOOLS
2
2
The MS7212 sensors have a topside Pyrex™ cap (1.23 x 0.94 mm ) and a backside Pyrex™ (1.95 x 1.63 mm ).
The pick and place tool has to be of a soft material as rubber (Hardness 78-97 Shore A). Its external size must
fit the Pyrex™ cap. Successful tests were done with some tools of SPT (see SPT drawing and references
bellow).

WIRE BONDING
2
The bondable area is 100 x 100 µm . The location of the bonding pads is close to the top Pyrex glass edge
reducing the possible size and angle of the bonding capillary. Refer to the detail view D on the layout for more
precision.
