NXP Semiconductors MP3V5050VC6T1

Overview

MP3V5050VC6T1 from Freescale Semiconductor is a monolithic, signal-conditioned, gauge pressure sensor optimized for vacuum pressure measurement (–50 to 0 kPa) on the P1 port, delivering a ratiometric analog output (0.06–2.9 V) with ±2.5% accuracy over 0 °C to 85 °C and ±0.5% offset stability after 1000-hour stress testing - used in medical diagnostics, pump control, and robotics.

For engineers reviewing the MP3V5050VC6T1 datasheet, MP3V5050VC6T1 pinout, MP3V5050VC6T1 application, or MP3V5050VC6T1 equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (Case 98ASB17757C), confirmed 8-pin SOP pin functions, calibrated transfer function (V_OUT = V_S × (0.018 × P + 0.94)), and validated alternatives for vacuum-sensing systems requiring stable analog output and on-chip temperature compensation.

Technical Context

The MP3V5050VC6T1 integrates a patented silicon shear-stress strain gauge with thin-film metallization and bipolar processing, enabling high-accuracy differential pressure sensing in vacuum conditions. Its on-chip temperature compensation operates across –40 °C to +125 °C, while its ratiometric architecture ensures output scaling directly with supply voltage (2.7–3.3 V).

Signal conditioning includes two-stage gain amplification, ground-reference shift circuitry, and fluorosilicone gel isolation of the die and wire bonds. The device exhibits 1.0 ms response time (10–90%), 20 ms warm-up time, and full-scale span of 2.7 V at 3.0 V supply - all specified for dry air media only.

FAQ

What is the pressure range and type supported by the MP3V5050VC6T1?

The MP3V5050VC6T1 is a gauge pressure sensor rated for –50 to 0 kPa vacuum pressure applied exclusively to the P1 port. It is not rated for positive pressure, differential, or absolute configurations. Its transfer function and calibration are optimized for vacuum-only operation, with full-scale output occurring at 0 kPa and minimum output near –50 kPa. Dry air is the validated pressure medium; other media require factory consultation.

What are the supply voltage requirements and power consumption of the MP3V5050VC6T1?

The MP3V5050VC6T1 operates from 2.7 to 3.3 VDC with a typical supply current of 7.0 mA and maximum of 10 mA. Its ratiometric output means V_OUT scales linearly with V_S, so output voltage changes proportionally with supply variation - eliminating need for precision voltage references. Decoupling with 1.0 μF and 470 pF capacitors is recommended per the datasheet to maintain noise immunity.

How is the MP3V5050VC6T1 calibrated and compensated for temperature effects?

The MP3V5050VC6T1 features on-chip temperature compensation validated over –40 °C to +125 °C, with accuracy specified as ±2.5% VFSS over 0–85 °C. Compensation is implemented via integrated circuitry that adjusts gain and offset in real time using internal thermal sensing. No external components or software correction are required - the device outputs a fully compensated analog voltage directly usable by an ADC.

What is the meaning of "DNC" pins on the MP3V5050VC6T1 pinout?

On the MP3V5050VC6T1, Pins 1 and 5–8 are designated DNC (Do Not Connect). Pin 1 serves solely as a mechanical notch-based orientation marker and must remain unconnected. Pins 5–8 have no internal connection and must not be soldered, grounded, or routed - doing so may compromise sensor reliability or cause electrical interference. Only Pins 2 (VS), 3 (GND), and 4 (VOUT) are functional.

Is the MP3V5050VC6T1 suitable for use with non-air pressure media?

The MP3V5050VC6T1 is qualified and characterized using dry air as the pressure medium. Fluorosilicone gel isolation protects the die, but chemical compatibility with other gases or liquids is not guaranteed. Exposure to aggressive or condensing media may degrade long-term reliability or alter calibration. For non-air applications, consult NXP (formerly Freescale) technical support before deployment - validation testing is required per application-specific conditions.
