Digital pressure sensor ideal for embedding in smartphones and other mobile devices

Alps Electric (Tokyo) has now developed the HSPPAD Series pressure sensor with digital output. Mass production is already underway. The HSPPAD Series has a built-in temperature compensation function, optimized based on data accumulated by Alps Electric through compensation simulations. This simultaneously removes the need to incorporate temperature compensation circuitry into the main unit and eliminates the power requirement for temperature compensation, contributing to energy savings. Other features include: 

• A wide measurement range of 300 to 1,100hPa.
• Measurements of 2.5mm x 2.5mm x 0.8mm.
• Operating temperature range of -40 to +85°C.
• Measurement range of 300 to 1100hPa.
• Accuracy of ±2hPa.
