Product details
Overview
MPVZ4006G6U from Freescale Semiconductor is a fully integrated, on-chip signal-conditioned, temperature-compensated and factory-calibrated silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor with analog output. It delivers 0.3–4.6 V output over a 0–6 kPa (0–612 mm H₂O) gauge pressure range, operates at 5.0 V supply, and achieves ±2.46% full-scale span accuracy with auto-zero. It is designed for liquid level and differential pressure sensing in washing machines, respiratory equipment, and appliance control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MPVZ4006G6U datasheet, MPVZ4006G6U pinout, MPVZ4006G6U application, or MPVZ4006G6U equivalent, key selection factors include its ratiometric 5 V excitation, built-in thin-film temperature compensation, NIST-traceable factory calibration, stainless-steel cap port identification, and surface-mount small-outline package (Case 482-01) with defined P1/P2 side orientation.
Technical Context
The MPVZ4006G6U integrates a micromachined silicon diaphragm with bipolar signal conditioning, dual-stage gain amplification, and on-die temperature compensation circuitry onto a single monolithic chip. Its transfer function is Vout = VS × [(0.1533 × P) + 0.053], where P is pressure in kPa and VS is supply voltage.
It uses fluorosilicone gel die coating to isolate wire bonds while transmitting pressure to the sensing element, and requires dry air as the pressure medium. The device features internal offset stability validated over 1000 thermal cycles (−30°C to +100°C) and 1.5 million pressure cycles at minimum rated pressure.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pressure Range | 0–6 kPa (0–612 mm H₂O) - defines usable differential pressure span for gauge-mode sensing with P1 > P2. |
| Output Voltage | 0.3–4.6 V - ratiometric analog output directly compatible with 5 V microcontroller ADC inputs. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75–5.25 Vdc - tight excitation window ensures stable biasing and enables ratiometric measurement. |
| Accuracy | ±2.46% VFSS with auto-zero - error budget includes linearity, TcSpan, TcOffset, hysteresis, and offset stability per Freescale Rev 2 spec. |
| Operating Temp | +10°C to +60°C - validated performance envelope for consumer and industrial appliance environments. |
| Max Pressure | 75 kPa - absolute maximum rating before mechanical damage; not for continuous operation. |
| Supply Current | ≤10 mA - low quiescent draw suitable for battery-backed or energy-conscious embedded systems. |
Pinout & Package
MPVZ4006G6U is housed in a Small Outline Package (SOP), surface-mount configuration, Case 482-01, with thermoplastic (PPS) housing and stainless-steel cap identifying the Pressure (P1) side. Pin 1 is marked by a notch in the lead frame.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | No Connect | Internal connection; must remain unconnected to avoid interference or damage. |
| 2 | Supply Voltage (VS) | 5 V power input; requires 1.0 μF decoupling capacitor per Freescale Figure 3. |
| 3 | Ground (GND) | Analog ground reference for signal chain; must be tied to system AGND with low-impedance path. |
| 4 | Analog Output (Vout) | Conditioned, temperature-compensated voltage output proportional to applied pressure. |
| 5–8 | No Connect | Internally bonded; external connection prohibited per datasheet warning. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip signal conditioning | Eliminates need for external op-amps or ADC driver stages; outputs clean, amplified analog voltage. |
| Factory calibration & temperature compensation | Reduces system-level calibration effort; enables direct integration into microcontroller-based designs without lookup tables. |
| Durable PPS thermoplastic package | Withstands humidity, vibration, and thermal cycling in washing machine and medical equipment enclosures. |
| Stainless-steel cap port identification | Enables unambiguous P1 (pressure) side mounting in differential configurations per Table 3. |
| Ratiometric output | Output scales linearly with supply voltage variation, improving noise immunity when sharing VDD with MCU. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar pressure transducer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPXV5004DP | 0–4 kPa range, dual-port differential output, 0.2–4.8 V output, same Case 482-01 package. | Designed for bidirectional differential pressure (±2 kPa); lacks axial port modification for industrial tubing. | Select MPXV5004DP only when bidirectional ΔP measurement is required and port geometry is compatible. |
| MPVZ5004GW6U | 0–4 kPa range, same architecture, but packaged in Case 1735-01 with vertical port attachment instead of stainless-steel cap. | Vertical port simplifies PCB mounting in space-constrained consumer modules; P1 side identified differently. | Choose MPVZ5004GW6U when board layout favors vertical port orientation and higher-volume tape-and-reel procurement is needed. |
Compared with MPVZ4006G6U, MPXV5004DP offers bidirectional capability at lower full-scale range but no industrial port adaptation, while MPVZ5004GW6U shares core signal conditioning but differs in mechanical interface and marking-requiring updated assembly documentation and orientation verification.

FAQ
What is the pressure media compatibility of the MPVZ4006G6U?
The MPVZ4006G6U is qualified for use with dry air as the pressure medium. Other media-including liquids, solvents, or corrosive gases-may degrade long-term reliability or alter calibration. Freescale's internal qualification testing was performed exclusively with dry air; media-specific validation must be requested directly from NXP (formerly Freescale) prior to deployment. The MPVZ4006G6U includes fluorosilicone gel die coating to protect wire bonds, but this does not extend media compatibility beyond dry air.
Does the MPVZ4006G6U require external zero calibration after installation?
Yes-the MPVZ4006G6U achieves its specified ±2.46% VFSS accuracy only when auto-zeroed after mechanical mounting. External stress or orientation shifts can induce offset drift; auto-zeroing involves capturing the zero-pressure output and subtracting it digitally during operation. Without this step, accuracy degrades to ±5.0% VFSS. The MPVZ4006G6U itself contains no onboard auto-zero circuitry-it relies on host MCU firmware implementation.
What is the meaning of "P1 > P2" in the MPVZ4006G6U datasheet?
"P1 > P2" defines the operational mode: MPVZ4006G6U is a gauge pressure sensor where P1 is the pressure side (identified by stainless-steel cap per Table 3) and P2 is the reference (ambient) side. It measures differential pressure only when P1 exceeds P2. Applying vacuum to P1 or equal/positive pressure to P2 violates the specified operating condition and may cause nonlinearity or saturation. The MPVZ4006G6U is not rated for true vacuum or bidirectional ΔP measurement.
Can the MPVZ4006G6U be used with supply voltages other than 5.0 V?
The MPVZ4006G6U is ratiometric and specified for 4.75–5.25 Vdc operation. While output scales linearly with VS, deviations outside this range risk violating maximum ratings (e.g., exceeding 10 mA supply current limit or inducing thermal drift). Using 3.3 V is not supported-output would fall below 0.3 V, compromising resolution and noise margin. The MPVZ4006G6U must be powered from a stable, regulated 5 V rail with 1.0 μF decoupling capacitance as shown in Figure 3.
How is the MPVZ4006G6U pin 1 identified on the physical package?
Pin 1 of the MPVZ4006G6U is identified by a notch in the lead frame located at one end of the small-outline package (Case 482-01). This notch aligns with the "P1 side" stainless-steel cap and corresponds to the leftmost pin when viewing the package top-side with the cap facing up and the notch oriented toward the viewer's left. Pins 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are internal no-connects and must remain unattached in PCB layout.
