DESCRIPTION
The MS5806-02BA 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 20cm. 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 MS5806-02BA 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 has 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.

FUNCTION AL DESCRIPTION
§
Figure 1: Block diagr am of MS5806-02BA
GENERAL
The MS5806-02BA consists of a piezo-resistive sensor and a sensor interface IC. The main function of the
MS5806-02BA is to convert the uncompensated analogue output voltage from the piezo-resistive pressure
sensor to a 24-bit digital value, as well as providing a 24-bit digital value for the temperature of the sensor.
FACTORY CALIBRATION
Every m odule is indi viduall y factor y calibrated at t wo t em peratures and two press ures. As a result, 6 c oeff icients
necessary to compensate for process variations and temperature variations are calculated and stored in the
128-bit 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 MS5806-02BA has built in two types of serial interfaces: SPI and I2C.
The pin PS is factory connected to GND or VCC to define the Protocol Select:

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 obtain ed when t he SPI bus is qui et a nd witho ut c ommunication to ot her de vices
during the ADC conversion in progress.

I2C MODE
The external microcontroller clocks in the data through the input SCLK (Serial CLocK) and SDA (Serial DAta).
The sens or res ponds on th e sam e pin SDA which is bidirec tiona l for the I2C bus i nterfac e. So th is inter fac e type
uses only 2 signal lines and does not require a chip select, which can be favorable to reduce board space. In
I2C-Mode the com plement 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!).

I2C INTERFACE (MS5806-02BA52 ONLY)
COMMANDS
Each I2C communication message starts with the start condition and it is ended with the stop condition. The
MS5806-02BA address is 111011Cx, where C is the complementary value of the pin CSB. Since the IC does
not have a microcontroller inside, the commands for I2C and SPI are quite similar.
RESET SEQUENCE
The reset can be sent at any time except when the power on did not work it could be possible that the
acknowledge blocks the SDA. When SDA is blocked by an undefined state the only way to get the
MS5806-02BA to work is to send a power on reset.

CYCLIC REDUNDANCY CHECK (CRC)
MS5806-02BA contains a PROM memory with 128-Bit. A 4-bit CRC has been implemented to check the data
validity in memory. The application note AN520 describes in detail CRC-4 code used.

MOUNTING AND ASSEMBLY CONSIDERATIONS
SOLDERING
Please refer to the application note AN808 available on our website for all soldering issues.
MOUNTING
The MS5806-02BA can be placed with automatic Pick & Place equipment using vacuum nozzles. It will not be
damaged by the vacu um. Due to the l o w str ess as sembl y the sens or does not show pressur e hyst eres is ef fects.
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 MS5806-02BA provides the possibility to seal with an O-ring. The protective cap of the
MS5806-02BA is made of special anticorrosive stainless steel with a polished surface. In addition to this the
MS5806-02BA is filled with silico ne gel cover ing the s ens or and t he b onding wires . The O -ring ( or O-ri ngs) s hall
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 MS5806-02BA has been manufactured under cleanroom conditions. It is therefore recommended to
assem ble the sens or under class 10 ’000 or b etter co nditions . Should this not be poss ible, it is recomm ended 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
MS5806-02BA 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 MS5806-02BA VDD pin. This capacitor will stabilize the power
supply during data conversion and thus, provide the highest possible accuracy.
