Product details
Overview
MPVZ4006G7U from Freescale Semiconductor is a fully integrated, temperature-compensated and factory-calibrated silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor with analog output, designed for differential or gauge pressure measurement in the 0–6 kPa range. It delivers a ratiometric 0.3–4.6 V output at 5 V supply, features ±2.46% full-scale accuracy with auto-zero, and is housed in a durable thermoplastic (PPS) small-outline through-hole package (Case 482B-03). It is used in respiratory equipment and appliance liquid level sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MPVZ4006G7U datasheet, MPVZ4006G7U pinout, MPVZ4006G7U application, or MPVZ4006G7U equivalent, key selection considerations include its 6 kPa full-scale range, ±75 kPa maximum pressure rating, +10°C to +60°C operating temperature, 10 mA max supply current, and N/C pin configuration requiring careful PCB layout to avoid connecting pins 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
Technical Context
The MPVZ4006G7U integrates micromachined silicon sensing elements with on-chip thin-film temperature compensation, dual-stage gain amplification, and offset reference shift circuitry - all monolithically fabricated. Its signal conditioning provides a linear, ratiometric analog output directly compatible with microcontroller A/D inputs without external amplification.
It operates exclusively in differential or gauge mode (P1 > P2), with pressure applied to the stainless steel cap side (P1) identified per Freescale's Pressure/Vacuum Side Identification Table. The device requires dry air as pressure media; alternative media may degrade long-term reliability and require factory qualification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pressure Range | 0–6 kPa (0–612 mm H₂O); defines usable sensing span for liquid level and low-pressure differential applications. |
| Output Voltage | 0.3–4.6 V at VS = 5.0 V; ratiometric transfer function Vout = VS × [(0.1533×P) + 0.053] enables direct MCU A/D interfacing. |
| Accuracy | ±2.46% VFSS with auto-zero; requires post-installation zero-offset subtraction to achieve specified error budget over +10°C to +60°C. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75–5.25 Vdc; strict 5 V ±2.5% excitation required to maintain ratiometric performance and accuracy. |
| Max Supply Current | 10 mA; determines minimum power rail capacity and decoupling requirements (e.g., 1.0 μF + 0.01 μF recommended). |
| Max Pressure Rating | 75 kPa; mechanical overpressure limit beyond which permanent damage may occur. |
| Operating Temp | +10°C to +60°C; functional range for calibrated output; storage extends to −30°C to +100°C but calibration not guaranteed outside operating band. |
Pinout & Package
MPVZ4006G7U uses a Small Outline Package (SOP) through-hole configuration, Case 482B-03, with 8 leads and stainless steel cap identifying the pressure (P1) side. Pins 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are internal no-connects and must remain unconnected in PCB layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | N/C | Internal connection; marked by notch; must not be soldered or grounded. |
| 2 | VS | Positive supply input (4.75–5.25 Vdc); requires local decoupling per Figure 3. |
| 3 | Gnd | Analog ground reference; must tie to clean system ground plane with low-impedance path. |
| 4 | Vout | Analog output (0.3–4.6 V); routed away from noise sources and filtered if high-resolution A/D used. |
| 5–8 | N/C | All internal; no external connection permitted; floating terminals must be left unattached. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip temperature compensation | Eliminates need for external thermistor networks or digital correction algorithms across +10°C to +60°C. |
| Factory calibration & signal conditioning | Delivers ready-to-use analog output without external op-amps, ADC drivers, or offset trimming components. |
| Durable PPS thermoplastic package | Provides mechanical robustness and environmental resistance suitable for industrial and medical-grade assemblies. |
| Ratiometric output architecture | Ensures proportional response to supply variation, simplifying system-level voltage regulation and improving noise immunity. |
| Stainless steel pressure port | Enables reliable sealing with industrial tubing and resists corrosion in humid or mildly aggressive environments. |

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, SOIC-8 package, ±2.5% accuracy, same 5 V supply. | Limited to lower pressure range; lacks axial port modification for industrial tubing. | Select when differential measurement only is needed and 4 kPa full scale suffices; verify port compatibility with existing manifold design. |
| SSCDANT006PDAA3 | Honeywell SSC series; 0–6 kPa, digital I²C output, 3.3 V operation, ±0.25% typical accuracy. | Requires I²C interface and digital firmware integration; higher accuracy but no analog simplicity. | Choose for systems needing digital output, tighter accuracy, or multi-sensor daisy-chaining; not drop-in for analog A/D designs. |
Compared with MPXV5004DP and SSCDANT006PDAA3, the MPVZ4006G7U offers analog simplicity and industrial port ruggedness at the cost of slightly lower accuracy than the Honeywell digital option and broader pressure range than the MPXV5004DP - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, analog-centric appliance and medical OEM designs.

FAQ
What is the pressure port configuration of the MPVZ4006G7U?
The MPVZ4006G7U uses a gauge or differential configuration with the pressure (P1) side identified by the stainless steel cap, per Freescale's Pressure/Vacuum Side Identification Table. It is designed for P1 > P2 operation and accommodates industrial-grade tubing via an axial port modified for robust sealing. The P2 side is vented to ambient or referenced to a second pressure source depending on application topology.
Does the MPVZ4006G7U require external signal conditioning?
No, the MPVZ4006G7U does not require external signal conditioning. It integrates on-chip temperature compensation, calibration, and dual-stage gain amplification to deliver a ready-to-use 0.3–4.6 V ratiometric analog output. Only basic power supply decoupling (1.0 μF + 0.01 μF) is recommended per Freescale Application Note AN1646 - no op-amps, filters, or offset trimming are needed for standard operation.
What is the meaning of "auto-zero" for the MPVZ4006G7U?
Auto-zero for the MPVZ4006G7U refers to a post-installation software calibration step where the output voltage at zero pressure is measured and subtracted from subsequent readings during normal operation. This compensates for mechanical stress and mounting position effects. The ±2.46% VFSS accuracy specification assumes this procedure is performed, with temperature change limited to ±5°C between auto-zero and measurement.
Can the MPVZ4006G7U be used with media other than dry air?
Freescale specifies that the MPVZ4006G7U is qualified for use with dry air as the pressure media. Other media may adversely affect long-term reliability and sensor performance due to chemical interaction with the gel die coat or silicon diaphragm. Media-specific qualification data is available from NXP (formerly Freescale); users must contact the manufacturer directly before deploying the MPVZ4006G7U with non-dry-air media.
What is the correct PCB footprint for the MPVZ4006G7U?
The MPVZ4006G7U uses Case 482B-03, a through-hole small-outline package. Its recommended minimum footprint is defined in Freescale's Issue B drawing: lead pitch 2.54 mm, body dimensions 10.54 × 10.54 × 5.84 mm (max), with 8 leads spaced 2.54 mm apart. A solder mask layer is strongly advised to prevent bridging, and board layout must isolate pins 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 as no-connects - no copper pads or traces should connect to them.
