Product details
Overview
LPS225HBTR from STMicroelectronics is an ultra-compact piezoresistive absolute pressure sensor with 26–126 kPa range, 1 Pa RMS resolution in high-resolution mode, embedded 24-bit ADC, and dual SPI/I²C interfaces. It operates from 1.7–3.6 V, consumes as low as 4 μA, and delivers pressure/temperature data at ODRs up to 75 Hz - deployed in portable altimeters, GPS-assisted navigation, and sport watches.
For engineers reviewing the LPS225HBTR datasheet, LPS225HBTR pinout, LPS225HBTR application, or LPS225HBTR equivalent, key selection criteria include absolute pressure accuracy (±0.1 hPa over 800–1100 hPa), integrated temperature compensation, FIFO buffering for burst-read efficiency, and HLGA-8L package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LPS225HBTR integrates a monolithic silicon MEMS sensing element with a dedicated CMOS interface IC. Its piezoresistive Wheatstone bridge detects absolute pressure via membrane deflection, while factory-trimmed calibration parameters stored in non-volatile memory enable ±0.1 hPa relative accuracy without user calibration.
Digital output is delivered through configurable SPI (3- or 4-wire) or I²C (standard/fast mode) interfaces. The device supports seven FIFO operating modes-including Stream, Dynamic-Stream, and Stream-to-FIFO-with 32×40-bit depth to decouple sensor sampling from host read timing and reduce system power consumption.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pressure Range | 26–126 kPa absolute - covers sea-level barometric pressure and altitudes up to ~10,000 m. |
| Resolution (HR Mode) | 1 Pa RMS - enables altitude resolution better than 8.5 cm under standard conditions. |
| Current Consumption | 4 μA at 1 Hz ODR - extends battery life in wearable and IoT edge devices. |
| Output Data Rate | 1–75 Hz - selectable via CTRL_REG1 register for trade-off between responsiveness and power. |
| Interface Support | SPI (3-/4-wire) and I²C - allows direct connection to MCU peripherals without level-shifting or protocol translation. |
| Embedded FIFO | 32-slot × 40-bit depth - stores pressure + temperature samples to reduce host polling frequency and interrupt load. |
| Overpressure Tolerance | 2 MPa (20× full scale) - protects against mechanical shock and transient pressure spikes during handling or deployment. |
Pinout & Package
Package: HLGA-8L (2.0 × 2.5 × 0.8 mm max), holed for external pressure access, ECOPACK® lead-free compliant, rated for −40 °C to +85 °C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference | 0 V supply return for analog and digital sections; must be low-impedance for noise-sensitive pressure measurement. |
| 2 CS | Interface mode select / chip enable | High = I²C enabled (SPI idle); Low = SPI enabled (I²C disabled); critical for bus arbitration in mixed-interface systems. |
| 3 SDA/SDI/SDI-SDO | Data line (I²C)/Input (SPI 4-wire)/I/O (SPI 3-wire) | Shared terminal requires careful pull-up/pull-down configuration depending on selected interface mode. |
| 4 SCL/SPC | Clock line (I²C)/Serial clock (SPI) | Common clock input; timing compliance required per Table 5 (SPI) or Table 6 (I²C) for reliable communication. |
| 5 SDO/SA0 | Data output (SPI)/Address LSB (I²C) | In I²C mode, SA0 sets LSB of 7-bit slave address (0x5C or 0x5D); in SPI mode, provides pressure/temperature data output. |
| 6 VDD_IO | I/O power supply | Independent rail (1.7–VDD+0.1 V) isolates interface logic from core sensor supply, enabling mixed-voltage system integration. |
| 7 INT_DRDY | Interrupt / Data Ready output | Active-low open-drain signal asserts when new pressure/temperature sample is ready - eliminates polling and synchronizes host reads. |
| 8 VDD | Analog/digital core supply | Main supply (1.7–3.6 V); powers MEMS element, ADC, DSP, and internal regulators - noise filtering essential for RMS noise performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Embedded temperature compensation | Factory-calibrated across −40 °C to +85 °C using three-point trim; eliminates need for external thermal modeling or software correction. |
| 24-bit pressure ADC with digital filtering | Delivers 1 Pa RMS noise floor in high-resolution mode; low-pass filter configurations (via RES_CONF register) allow ODR/noise trade-offs. |
| Multi-mode FIFO (32×40-bit) | Enables burst sampling at 75 Hz while host reads at lower rate - reduces average current and simplifies real-time firmware scheduling. |
| Programmable pressure thresholds & interrupts | INTERRUPT_CFG and THS_P_L/H registers allow hardware-triggered alerts on pressure excursions - offloads threshold monitoring from MCU. |
| High overpressure survival (2 MPa) | Withstands 20× full-scale pressure without membrane rupture - ensures reliability in consumer handling, drop tests, and rapid environmental changes. |
Applications
| Portable Altimeters | GPS-Assisted Navigation |

Use Value: ±0.1 hPa relative accuracy over 800–1100 hPa ensures sub-meter altitude drift correction without frequent GPS reacquisition. |
| Weather Station Sensors | Sport Watches |
|
Use Scenario: Long-term atmospheric pressure logging in compact outdoor weather stations powered by coin-cell batteries. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power barometer operating at 1 Hz ODR with FIFO buffering to minimize MCU wake-ups. Use Value: 4 μA typical current draw at 1 Hz extends 10-year battery life; ECOPACK® HLGA-8L package withstands outdoor humidity and thermal cycling. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute pressure sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LPS22HBTR | Successor with improved accuracy (±0.05 hPa), lower noise (0.8 Pa RMS), and extended ODR (up to 100 Hz); same HLGA-8L footprint and register map. | Required where higher altitude resolution (<5 cm) or faster response (e.g., drone stabilization) is needed. | Select LPS22HBTR for new designs demanding tighter specs; LPS225HBTR remains valid for cost-sensitive or legacy-replacement use cases. |
| BMP280 | Lower resolution (0.01 hPa typ.), no FIFO, no programmable pressure thresholds; I²C/SPI compatible but lacks INT_DRDY hardware interrupt flexibility. | Suitable for basic barometric trending but not for real-time altitude triggering or burst-sampling architectures. | Choose BMP280 only if system firmware already handles polling and no hardware interrupt coordination is required. |
Compared with LPS22HBTR, the LPS225HBTR offers proven field reliability and lower BOM cost but trades off 0.05 hPa accuracy and 25 Hz ODR headroom; versus BMP280, it delivers deterministic interrupt-driven operation and FIFO-based power optimization essential for ultra-low-power wearables.

FAQ
What is the maximum overpressure the LPS225HBTR can withstand without damage?
The LPS225HBTR features intrinsic mechanical stoppers that protect the MEMS membrane up to 2 MPa (20× full-scale pressure), as specified in Table 7 (Absolute Maximum Ratings). This exceeds typical environmental overpressure events encountered in consumer handling, drop testing, or rapid cabin pressurization scenarios - ensuring robust field reliability without requiring external pressure-limiting hardware.
Does the LPS225HBTR require external calibration after soldering?
No. The LPS225HBTR undergoes factory calibration at three temperatures and two pressures, with trimming values stored in non-volatile memory. Upon power-up, these parameters are automatically loaded into operational registers, delivering ±0.1 hPa relative accuracy over 800–1100 hPa without any user-performed calibration - critical for high-volume manufacturing and field-deployed devices.
How does the FIFO reduce system power consumption?
The 32-slot FIFO allows the host MCU to configure the LPS225HBTR for continuous sampling at 75 Hz while reading batches of data infrequently (e.g., every 100 ms). This minimizes MCU wake-up frequency and active time, directly lowering average system current - especially valuable in coin-cell-powered wearables where interrupt-driven reads replace constant polling.
Can the LPS225HBTR operate with different supply voltages for VDD and VDD_IO?
Yes. VDD (1.7–3.6 V) powers the MEMS element and core logic, while VDD_IO (1.7 V to VDD+0.1 V) independently supplies the digital interface. This separation enables interfacing with 1.8 V or 3.3 V MCUs regardless of core sensor voltage - simplifying mixed-voltage board design and eliminating level-shifters in most implementations.
