MS5803-02BA Miniature Altimeter Module SPECIFICATIONS High resolution module, 20cm Fast conversion down to 1 ms Low power, 1 µA (standby < 0.15 µA) Integrated digital pressure sensor (24 bit ΔΣ ADC) Supply voltage 1.8 to 3.6 V Operating range: 300 to 1100 mbar, -40 to +85 °C Extended Pressure Range: 10 to 2000mbar I2C and SPI interface (Mode 0, 3) No external components (Internal oscillator) Excellent long term stability Hermetically sealable for outdoor devices The MS5803-02BA is a new generation of high resolution altimeter sensors from MEAS Switzerland with SPI and I2C bus interface. It is optimized for altimeters and variometers with an altitude resolution of 20 cm. The sensor module includes a high linearity pressure sensor and an ultra low power 24 bit ΔΣ ADC with internal factory calibrated coefficients. It provides a precise digital 24 Bit pressure and temperature value and different operation modes that allow the user to optimize for conversion speed and current consumption. A high resolution temperature output allows the implementation of an altimeter/thermometer function without any additional sensor. The MS5803-02BA can be interfaced to virtually any microcontroller. The communication protocol is simple, without the need of programming internal registers in the device. The gel protection and antimagnetic stainless steel cap allows the use in 100m water resistant altimeter/compass watches. This new sensor module generation is based on leading MEMS technology and latest benefits from MEAS Switzerland proven experience and know-how in high volume manufacturing of altimeter modules, which have been widely used for over a decade. The sensing principle employed leads to very low hysteresis and high stability of both pressure and temperature signal.

MUX CSB Digital Interface +IN SENSOR PGA -IN ADC SDO dig. Filter Sensor Interface IC SDI / SDA SCLK / SCL Memory (PROM) 128 bits SGND GND Figure 1: Block diagram of MS5803-02BA GENERAL The MS5803-02BA consists of a piezo-resistive sensor and a sensor interface IC. The main function of the MS580302BA is to convert the uncompensated analogue output voltage from the piezo-resistive pressure sensor to a 24bit digital value, as well as providing a 24-bit digital value for the temperature of the sensor. FACTORY CALIBRATION Every module is individually factory calibrated at two temperatures and two pressures. As a result, 6 coefficients necessary to compensate for process variations and temperature variations are calculated and stored in the 128bit PROM of each module. These bits (partitioned into 6 coefficients W1 to W6) must be read by the microcontroller software and used in the program converting D1 and D2 into compensated pressure and temperature values. The 2 coefficients W0 and W7 are for factory configuration and CRC. SERIAL INTERFACE The MS5803-02BA has built in two types of serial interfaces: SPI and I2C. Pulling the Protocol Select pin PS to low selects the SPI protocol, pulling PS to high activates the I2C bus protocol. Pin PS Mode Pins used High Low I2 C SPI SDA, SCL, CSB SDI, SDO, SCLK, CSB SPI MODE The external microcontroller clocks in the data through the input SCLK (Serial CLocK) and SDI (Serial Data In). In the SPI mode module can accept both mode 0 and mode 3 for the clock polarity and phase. The sensor responds on the output SDO (Serial Data Out). The pin CSB (Chip Select) is used to enable/disable the interface, so that other devices can talk on the same SPI bus. The CSB pin can be pulled high after the command is sent or after the end of the command execution (for example end of conversion). The best noise performance from the module is obtained when the SPI bus is quiet and without communication to other devices during the ADC conversion in progress. SENSOR SOLUTIONS ///MS5803-02BA 09/2015 Page 7 MS5803-02BA Miniature Altimeter Module I2C MODE The external microcontroller clocks in the data through the input SCLK (Serial CLocK) and SDA (Serial DAta). The sensor responds on the same pin SDA which is bidirectional for the I 2C bus interface. So this interface type uses only 2 signal lines and does not require a chip select, which can be favorable to reduce board space. In I 2C-Mode the complement of the pin CSB (Chip Select) represents the LSB of the I2C address. It is possible to use two sensors with two different addresses on the I2C bus. The pin CSB shall be connected to VDD or GND (do not leave unconnected!). Pin CSB Address (7 bits) High Low 0x76 (1110110 b) 0x77 (1110111 b) COMMANDS The MS5803-02BA has only five basic commands: 1. Reset 2. Read PROM (128 bit of calibration words) 3. D1 conversion 4. D2 conversion 5. Read ADC result (24 bit pressure / temperature) Size of each command is 1 byte (8 bits) as described in the table below. After ADC read commands the device will return 24 bit result and after the PROM read 16bit result. The address of the PROM is embedded inside of the PROM read command using the a2, a1 and a0 bits.

If the conversion is not executed before the ADC read command, or the ADC read command is repeated, it will give 0 as the output result.

MOUNTING The MS5803-02BA can be placed with automatic Pick & Place equipment using vacuum nozzles. It will not be damaged by the vacuum. Due to the low stress assembly the sensor does not show pressure hysteresis effects. It is important to solder all contact pads. CONNECTION TO PCB The package outline of the module allows the use of a flexible PCB for interconnection. This can be important for applications in watches and other special devices. SEALING WITH O-RINGS In products like outdoor watches the electronics must be protected against direct water or humidity. For those products the MS5803-02BA provides the possibility to seal with an O-ring. The protective cap of the MS5803-02BA is made of special anticorrosive stainless steel with a polished surface. In addition to this the MS5803-02BA is filled with silicone gel covering the sensor and the bonding wires. The O-ring (or O-rings) shall be placed at the outer diameter of the metal cap. This method avoids mechanical stress because the sensor can move in vertical direction. CLEANING The MS5803-02BA has been manufactured under cleanroom conditions. 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! ESD PRECAUTIONS The electrical contact pads are protected against ESD up to 4 kV HBM (human body model). It is therefore essential to ground machines and personnel properly during assembly and handling of the device. The MS5803-02BA is shipped in antistatic transport boxes. Any test adapters or production transport boxes used during the assembly of the sensor shall be of an equivalent antistatic material. DECOUPLING CAPACITOR Particular care must be taken when connecting the device to the power supply. A 100 nF ceramic capacitor must be placed as close as possible to the MS5803-02BA VDD pin. This capacitor will stabilize the power supply during data conversion and thus, provide the highest possible accuracy.
