CPC/CPCL Series and
CPXL Series
Compensated/Calibrated and
Uncompensated/Uncalibrated Board
Mount Pressure Sensors
DESCRIPTION
The CPC/CPCL Series and the CPXL Series sensors integrate
silicon micromachined sensing technology, temperature
compensation, and calibration in a complete family of low cost
packages. This series offers the most cost-effective solution for
design requirements.
These piezoresistive pressure sensors use micromachined
silicon chips mounted on a ceramic and protected with a plastic
cap. Several tube arrangements with nylon housings are
available for various pressure applications.
On devices of 5 psi and above, the top side of the chip is
protected against humidity by a Silgel coating. While the
sensors are designed for use with non-corrosive, nonionic
pressure media, they accommodate many gases that are used
in medical applications.
The CPC Series is designed for the lowest cost and smallest
profile. The standard packages have only a plastic cap for
OEM applications. The CPC axial port option accommodates
pressure measurements in tube applications.
FEATURES
• Low cost, small size
• Temperature compensated
• Zero and span calibrated
• Millivolt output
• Differential, gage and absolute pressure
• Constant voltage excitation
• High impedance - low current
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
• Medical applications
• Applications requiring small size
• Applications requiring vacuum and positive pressure
reference, or both
