DESCRIPTION
The 1210 1psi is a temperature compensated, piezoresistive silicon pressure sensor packaged in a
dual-in-line configuration. It is intended for cost sensitive applications where excellent performance and long-
term stability are required.
Integral temperature compensation is provided over a range of 0-50°C using laser-trimmed resistors. An
additional laser-trimmed resistor is included to normalize pressure sensitivity variations by programming the gain
of an external differential amplifier. This provides sensitivity interchangeability of ±1%.
Please refer to the 1210 standard datasheet for information on products with operating pressures
greater than 1psi. For voltage excitation, please refer to the Model 1220.

Notes
1. Output span of unamplified sensor.
2. Best fit straight line.
3. Temperature range: 0°C to 50°C with reference to 25°C.
4. Guarantees input/output ratiometricity for span.
5. For a zero-to-full scale pressure step change.
6. 10Hz to 1kHz.
7. Prevents increase of TC-Span due to output loading.
8. Wetted materials: glass, ceramic, silicon, fluorosilicone, nickel, gold and aluminum.
Additional Notes
Soldering leads pins: 250°C for 5 seconds, maximum.
