Product details
Overview
MP3V5010GC6U from Freescale Semiconductor is a monolithic silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor with on-chip signal conditioning, temperature compensation, and factory calibration. It delivers a ratiometric analog output (0.1–3.1 V) over a 0–10 kPa gauge pressure range, operates from 2.7–3.3 V supply, consumes ≤10 mA, and achieves ±5.0% full-scale accuracy across 0–85°C - deployed in respiratory systems and HVAC sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MP3V5010GC6U datasheet, MP3V5010GC6U pinout, MP3V5010GC6U application, or MP3V5010GC6U equivalent, key selection criteria include its thermoplastic PPS surface-mount package (Case 482A), differential/gauge configuration support, fluoro-silicone gel media isolation, and compatibility with microcontroller A/D inputs requiring low-offset, stable analog pressure feedback.
Technical Context
The MP3V5010GC6U integrates a patented silicon shear-stress strain gauge with thin-film metallization and bipolar signal conditioning circuitry on a single die. Its transfer function is Vout = VS × (0.09 × P + 0.08), where output scales linearly with pressure and supply voltage - enabling ratiometric measurement immunity to VS drift.
On-chip temperature compensation corrects offset and span errors across –40°C to +125°C operating range, while internal gain stages and ground-reference shift circuitry deliver a buffered, low-impedance output capable of sourcing 0.1 mA at full scale. The device requires external decoupling (1.0 μF + 0.01 μF + 470 pF) per Figure 3 for specified performance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pressure Range | 0–10 kPa gauge - supports low-pressure medical and environmental monitoring with 1.45 psi full scale. |
| Output Voltage | 0.1–3.1 V ratiometric - tracks supply voltage (2.7–3.3 V), eliminating need for separate reference in MCU-based systems. |
| Accuracy | ±5.0% VFSS over 0–85°C - includes linearity, temp hysteresis, pressure hysteresis, TcSpan, and TcOffset contributions. |
| Sensitivity | 270 mV/kPa - enables high-resolution pressure detection with <0.04 kPa LSB at 12-bit ADC resolution. |
| Response Time | 1.0 ms (10%–90%) - suitable for dynamic pressure events such as breath cycle tracking in ventilators. |
| Supply Current | 7.0 mA typical - allows integration into battery-powered portable diagnostics without excessive power burden. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - supports deployment in automotive under-hood or industrial process control environments. |
Pinout & Package
MP3V5010GC6U uses a thermoplastic (PPS) Small Outline Package (Case 482A-01), 8-pin surface-mount housing with 2.54 mm pitch, 10.54 × 10.54 × 3.17 mm footprint, and pin 1 identifier marked on top. Pins 5–8 are no-connects; functional terminals are GND, Vout, Vs, and –Vout (Style 1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for signal conditioning circuitry and output stage - must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 2 | +Vout | Analog output terminal - provides buffered, temperature-compensated voltage proportional to applied pressure (0.1–3.1 V). |
| 3 | Vs | Supply input - accepts 2.7–3.3 V DC; output is ratiometric to this rail, requiring stable regulation or direct MCU VDD tie. |
| 4 | –Vout | Differential output complement - used with +Vout for noise-rejecting differential A/D acquisition in high-interference environments. |
| 5–8 | No Connect | Internally unconnected - must remain floating; no PCB traces or solder mask openings required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Patented silicon shear-stress strain gauge | Enables high stability and low hysteresis (<±0.5% VFSS offset drift after 1000-hour stress test) versus conventional piezoresistive elements. |
| On-chip temperature compensation | Corrects both offset and full-scale span across –40°C to +125°C, eliminating need for external thermistor or digital correction in embedded systems. |
| Fluoro-silicone gel isolation | Protects die and wire bonds from moisture and chemical exposure while transmitting pressure accurately - validated for dry air media compatibility. |
| Ratiometric output architecture | Output voltage scales directly with supply rail, allowing direct interface to MCU ADC reference without external voltage reference IC. |
| Small Outline Package (Case 482A) | Enables automated SMT assembly and compact board layout in space-constrained applications like portable medical devices. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar pressure transducer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPXV5004GP | Same Freescale family; 0–4 kPa range, 0.2–2.8 V output, Case 1369 tray packaging - lower full-scale pressure and different footprint. | Optimized for sub-1 psi vacuum/low-differential sensing; not drop-in due to different pressure range and package dimensions. | Select when system requires <4 kPa full scale and tray-based procurement; verify PCB land pattern against Case 1369-01. |
| SPX3115-001-D-3L | Infineon device; 0–15 kPa range, 0.5–4.5 V output, SOIC-8 package - higher full-scale range and wider output swing but no integrated temperature compensation. | Requires external compensation circuitry or software correction; suited for cost-sensitive industrial gauges where ±1% accuracy is acceptable. | Choose when broader pressure range or higher output voltage is needed and design can accommodate external calibration. |
Compared with MP3V5010GC6U, MPXV5004GP offers lower-range precision for vacuum-critical applications but demands PCB redesign, while SPX3115-001-D-3L trades built-in compensation for extended range and output headroom - making MP3V5010GC6U optimal for plug-and-play, temperature-stable 0–10 kPa medical sensing.

FAQ
What is the pressure media compatibility of the MP3V5010GC6U?
The MP3V5010GC6U is qualified for use with dry air as the pressure media. Its fluoro-silicone gel die coating isolates the sensing element from environmental contaminants while transmitting pressure accurately. Other media may affect long-term reliability or accuracy; Freescale recommends contacting factory application engineering before deploying MP3V5010GC6U with non-dry-air fluids or gases.
Does the MP3V5010GC6U require external decoupling capacitors?
Yes, the MP3V5010GC6U requires a specific decoupling network per Figure 3 in the datasheet: 1.0 μF, 0.01 μF, and 470 pF capacitors between Vs and GND. This network is mandatory to meet the ±5.0% accuracy specification and suppress supply-induced noise - omitting it degrades linearity and temperature stability in the MP3V5010GC6U output.
What does "Gauge" mean in MP3V5010GC6U's part number suffix?
The "G" in MP3V5010GC6U denotes gauge pressure configuration - meaning the sensor measures pressure relative to ambient atmospheric pressure using a single port (P1) exposed to media and a vented reference cavity (P2). This differs from differential (D) or absolute (A) variants and defines how MP3V5010GC6U interfaces mechanically and electrically in the system.
Can the MP3V5010GC6U operate from a 5 V supply?
No, the MP3V5010GC6U is rated for 2.7–3.3 V supply only. Exceeding 3.3 Vdc violates Absolute Maximum Ratings and may cause permanent damage. For 5 V systems, a dedicated 3.3 V LDO regulator must supply the MP3V5010GC6U - its ratiometric output ensures accuracy remains tied to that regulated rail, not the main 5 V bus.
How is the pressure side (P1) identified on the MP3V5010GC6U package?
The pressure side (P1) of the MP3V5010GC6U is the side with the port attached - visible as an open aperture on the thermoplastic case. Per Freescale's identification table, MP3V5010GC6U/C6T1 uses Case 482A and is marked with the port on the P1 side; applying positive differential pressure (P1 > P2) is required for correct operation of the MP3V5010GC6U.
