Product details
Overview
MP3V5050GC6U from NXP is a monolithic silicon piezoresistive gauge pressure sensor with 0–50 kPa full-scale range, ratiometric analog output (2.7–2.888 V at 3.0 V supply), ±2.5% accuracy over 0 °C to 85 °C, and on-chip temperature compensation across –40 °C to +125 °C. It interfaces directly with microcontroller A/D inputs in medical diagnostics and pump control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MP3V5050GC6U datasheet, MP3V5050GC6U pinout, MP3V5050GC6U application, or MP3V5050GC6U equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (Case 98ASB17757C), confirmed pin functions, real-world use value for pressure switching and level detection, and two validated alternative parts with documented technical differences.
Technical Context
The MP3V5050GC6U integrates a patented silicon shear-stress strain gauge with thin-film metallization and bipolar processing to deliver a high-level analog output proportional to applied gauge pressure. Its transfer function is VOUT = VS × (0.018 × P + 0.04), with sensitivity of 54 mV/kPa and response time ≤1.0 ms.
On-chip temperature compensation corrects offset and span drift across –40 °C to +125 °C using internal circuitry; error bands are bounded by ±1.25 kPa pressure hysteresis and ±0.5% VFSS offset stability after 1000-hour stress testing. The device requires a decoupling network (1.0 μF + 470 pF) per Figure 5 for stable A/D interfacing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pressure Range | 0–50 kPa gauge; supports blood pressure monitoring and low-pressure industrial sensing. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7–3.3 VDC; ratiometric operation ensures output scaling matches ADC reference voltage. |
| Full-Scale Output | 2.752–2.888 V at 3.0 V supply; enables direct connection to 3.3 V MCU ADC without signal conditioning. |
| Accuracy | ±2.5% VFSS over 0–85 °C; includes linearity, temp hysteresis, pressure hysteresis, and TcSpan/TcOffset. |
| Response Time | ≤1.0 ms (10%–90%); suitable for dynamic pressure events in robotics and motor control feedback loops. |
| Operating Temp | –40 °C to +125 °C; qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial embedded environments. |
Pinout & Package
MP3V5050GC6U uses a thermoplastic (PPS) small outline package (Case 98ASB17757C), surface-mountable with vertical porting for robust tube connection. Pin 1 is identified by notch; pins 5–8 are no-connects.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DNC | Do not connect; mechanical pin 1 identifier (notch side); floating per spec. |
| 2 | VS | 3.0 V ±0.3 V supply input; requires 1.0 μF + 470 pF decoupling per Figure 5. |
| 3 | GND | Analog ground reference; must be low-impedance return path for sensor and ADC. |
| 4 | VOUT | Ratiometric analog output (0.053–2.888 V); connects directly to 12-bit+ MCU ADC input. |
| 5–8 | DNC | No-connect terminals; electrically isolated; must remain unconnected per Table 1. |
Key Features

Applications
| Blood Pressure Monitoring | Pump/Motor Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous non-invasive cuff-based or catheter-tipped pressure acquisition in clinical and portable diagnostic devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary gauge pressure transducer converting arterial pressure into calibrated analog voltage for MCU sampling. Use Value: ±2.5% VFSS accuracy and ±0.5% VFSS offset stability ensure repeatable readings across 1000+ pressure cycles required for FDA-cleared devices. |
Use Scenario: Real-time feedback of fluid pressure in HVAC compressors, vacuum pumps, or centrifugal blower systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Closed-loop pressure sensing element feeding analog signal to motor driver controller for speed modulation. Use Value: 1.0 ms response time and ratiometric output allow precise duty-cycle adjustment within <10 ms control loop windows. |
| Level Detection | Robotics Actuation |
Use Scenario: Liquid height measurement in tanks or reservoirs via hydrostatic pressure at fixed depth. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Static gauge pressure sensor referenced to atmospheric vent, translating column height to kPa. Use Value: 0–50 kPa range covers ~0–5 m water column; temperature-compensated offset prevents drift during ambient thermal cycling. |
Use Scenario: Force feedback in pneumatic/hydraulic robotic joints or end-effectors requiring pressure-regulated actuation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dynamic differential pressure monitor detecting chamber pressure changes during motion sequences. Use Value: Vertical porting simplifies integration into compact joint housings; fluorosilicone gel ensures reliability under repeated mechanical vibration. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar gauge pressure sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPX5050GP | Same 0–50 kPa range and SOP-8 package but uses older Case 98ASA99303D; lacks vertical port; offset drift ±3.0% VFSS over 0–85 °C. | Requires horizontal port routing; less suited for space-constrained medical cuffs or robotic joints. | Select MPX5050GP only if legacy footprint compatibility is mandatory and vertical porting is unnecessary. |
| MP3V5004DP | Differential variant (0–4 kPa range); same Case 98ASB17757C package and vertical port; ±1.5% VFSS accuracy; lower sensitivity (135 mV/kPa). | Designed for ultra-low-pressure differential sensing (e.g., airflow in ventilators), not gauge applications. | Choose MP3V5004DP only when measuring pressure differentials <5 kPa with high resolution; not a functional substitute for MP3V5050GC6U's gauge function. |
Compared with MPX5050GP, MP3V5050GC6U offers tighter accuracy and vertical porting; compared with MP3V5004DP, it provides 12.5× higher full-scale range and gauge (not differential) operation-critical for blood pressure and tank level use cases.

FAQ
What is the pressure type and range supported by the MP3V5050GC6U?
The MP3V5050GC6U is a gauge pressure sensor with a full-scale range of 0–50 kPa. It measures pressure relative to ambient atmospheric pressure using a single port (P1) with vertical orientation per Case 98ASB17757C. This range corresponds to approximately 0–7.25 psi and supports applications including blood pressure monitoring and liquid level detection.
Does the MP3V5050GC6U require external calibration or compensation circuitry?
No, the MP3V5050GC6U includes on-chip temperature compensation and factory calibration across –40 °C to +125 °C. Its output is ratiometric and stable within ±2.5% VFSS over 0–85 °C without external components. Only recommended decoupling (1.0 μF + 470 pF) is needed per Figure 5 in the datasheet for reliable MCU interfacing.
What is the correct pinout and package for MP3V5050GC6U?
The MP3V5050GC6U uses Case 98ASB17757C-a thermoplastic small outline package with vertical porting. Pinout (top view, notch at Pin 1) is: Pin 1 = DNC, Pin 2 = VS, Pin 3 = GND, Pin 4 = VOUT, Pins 5–8 = DNC. All DNC pins must remain unconnected per NXP specification.
Can MP3V5050GC6U be used in differential pressure configurations?
No, MP3V5050GC6U is specified exclusively as a gauge pressure sensor with one active port (P1). It is not rated or characterized for differential operation. For differential sensing, NXP offers the MP3V5050DP variant (Case 98ASA99255D), which has dual ports and separate P1/P2 designation.
What is the maximum supply current and warm-up time for MP3V5050GC6U?
The MP3V5050GC6U draws 7.0 mA typical supply current (max 10 mA) at 3.0 V. Its warm-up time-the duration required to meet specified output voltage after pressure stabilization-is 20 ms. This allows rapid system initialization in battery-powered or responsive control applications.
