XPC/XPCL and XPX/XPXL
Series
Uncompensated/Compensated and
Compensated Calibrated Silicon
Pressure Sensors
DESCRIPTION
The XPC/XPCL and XPX/XPXL Series sensors integrate
silicon micromachined sensing technology, temperature
compensation, and calibr atio n in a compl ete fam ily of low -co s t
packages. This series offers a cost-effective solution for design
requirements.
These piezoresistive pressure sensors use micromachined
silicon chips mounted on 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.
Although the sensors are designed for use with noncorrosive,
nonionic pressure media, they accommodate many gases that
are used in medical applications.
FEATURES
• Low cost, small si ze
• Temperature compensated
• Zero and span calibrated
• Millivolt output
• Differential, gage and absolute pressure
• Constant voltage excitation
• High impedance - low current
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
• Medical applications
• Applicat ion s requiri ng sm all si ze
• Applications requiring vacuum and positive pressure
