Product details
Overview
MPVZ4006GW7U 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 uses a durable thermoplastic (PPS) package with through-hole mounting (Case 1560-02). It is deployed in respiratory equipment and appliance liquid-level sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MPVZ4006GW7U datasheet, MPVZ4006GW7U pinout, MPVZ4006GW7U application, or MPVZ4006GW7U equivalent, key selection considerations include its 6 kPa full-scale range, 5 V ratiometric excitation, ±2.46% VFSS accuracy with auto-zero, through-hole small-outline package (Case 1560-02), and compatibility with microcontroller A/D inputs without external signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The MPVZ4006GW7U integrates micromachined silicon sensing elements with on-chip thin-film temperature compensation, gain stages, and offset correction circuitry - all monolithically fabricated. Its transfer function is Vout = VS × [(0.1533 × P) + 0.053], where P is pressure in kPa and VS is supply voltage.
It operates exclusively with dry air as pressure media; non-air media may degrade long-term reliability. The device requires auto-zeroing post-installation to achieve specified ±2.46% VFSS accuracy, due to sensitivity to mechanical stress and mounting orientation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pressure Range | 0–6 kPa (0–612 mm H₂O); defines usable differential/gauge pressure span for accurate linear output. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.3–4.6 V at VS = 5.0 V; ratiometric analog output directly compatible with 5 V microcontroller ADCs. |
| Accuracy | ±2.46% VFSS with auto-zero; error budget includes linearity, TcSpan, TcOffset, hysteresis, and stability after thermal/pressure cycling. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75–5.25 Vdc; operation outside this range invalidates accuracy and may damage device. |
| Operating Temperature | +10°C to +60°C; full performance specification applies only within this ambient range. |
| Max Pressure Rating | 75 kPa; absolute maximum differential pressure before risk of permanent damage. |
| Sensitivity | 766 mV/kPa typical; determines resolution and signal-to-noise ratio for given pressure step size. |
Pinout & Package
MPVZ4006GW7U uses a through-hole small-outline package (Case 1560-02), featuring a stainless steel cap and vertical port attachment for industrial tubing. Pin 1 is identified by a notch in the lead frame; pins 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are internal no-connects and must remain unconnected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | No Connect | Internal device connection; electrically isolated from external circuitry. |
| 2 | VS | Positive supply input (4.75–5.25 Vdc); powers all on-chip circuitry including sensor and signal conditioning. |
| 3 | Gnd | Analog ground reference; must be low-impedance and shared with microcontroller ground for ratiometric accuracy. |
| 4 | Vout | Analog output (0.3–4.6 V); connects directly to ADC input; requires 0.01 µF decoupling per datasheet Figure 3. |
| 5–8 | No Connect | Internally bonded but not routed externally; floating terminals must not be soldered or grounded. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip temperature compensation | Eliminates need for external thermistor networks or software temperature correction over +10°C to +60°C. |
| Factory calibration and auto-zero support | Enables ±2.46% VFSS accuracy post-mounting via simple zero-offset subtraction in firmware. |
| Durable PPS thermoplastic package | Withstands mechanical stress and humidity in appliance and healthcare enclosures without hermetic sealing. |
| Ratiometric 5 V operation | Output scales linearly with supply voltage, allowing direct interface to 5 V MCU ADCs without reference voltage scaling. |
| Differential/gauge configuration | Supports both differential pressure (P1 > P2) and single-ended gauge measurements using atmospheric reference. |

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, 0.2–4.8 V output, same Case 482B-03 through-hole package. | Limited to lower full-scale pressure; unsuitable for 6 kPa applications like high-head washing machines. | Select MPXV5004DP only when system pressure never exceeds 4 kPa and dual-port differential configuration is required. |
| MPVZ5004GW7U | 0–4 kPa range, same Case 1560-02 package, ±2.46% VFSS accuracy, identical pinout and auto-zero requirement. | Lower full-scale range reduces resolution for 6 kPa use cases; output spans only 0.3–3.9 V at 5 V supply. | Choose MPVZ5004GW7U if design targets ≤4 kPa pressure and shares PCB layout with MPVZ4006GW7U for manufacturing flexibility. |
Compared with MPXV5004DP and MPVZ5004GW7U, the MPVZ4006GW7U uniquely supports the full 6 kPa range while retaining identical through-hole mounting, auto-zero workflow, and accuracy spec - making it the only validated option for applications requiring up to 612 mm H₂O head pressure.

FAQ
What is the full-scale pressure range of the MPVZ4006GW7U?
The MPVZ4006GW7U has a full-scale pressure range of 0–6 kPa (0–612 mm H₂O), specified for differential or gauge pressure measurement. This range is fixed and cannot be extended beyond 6 kPa without risking saturation or accuracy degradation. The MPVZ4006GW7U output saturates outside this range, and maximum rated pressure is 75 kPa for survival only.
Does the MPVZ4006GW7U require external signal conditioning?
No, the MPVZ4006GW7U does not require external signal conditioning. It integrates on-chip temperature compensation, calibration, and two-stage gain amplification. Its 0.3–4.6 V ratiometric analog output is designed to connect directly to a microcontroller's A/D input, provided proper 0.01 µF decoupling is used per the recommended circuit in Freescale Application Note AN1646.
What is the significance of "auto-zero" for the MPVZ4006GW7U?
Auto-zero for the MPVZ4006GW7U refers to a firmware-based calibration step where the zero-pressure output reading is captured after mechanical installation and subtracted from subsequent measurements. This compensates for mounting-induced stress and orientation effects. The MPVZ4006GW7U achieves ±2.46% VFSS accuracy only when auto-zero is implemented; without it, accuracy degrades to ±5.0% VFSS.
Which package type does the MPVZ4006GW7U use, and how is pin 1 identified?
The MPVZ4006GW7U uses a through-hole small-outline package (Case 1560-02) with vertical port attachment. Pin 1 is identified by a physical notch in the lead frame, located adjacent to the first pin. Pins 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are internal no-connects and must remain unconnected in the PCB layout.
Can the MPVZ4006GW7U be used with pressure media other than dry air?
The MPVZ4006GW7U is qualified and characterized for use with dry air only. Freescale explicitly states that other media may adversely affect long-term reliability and sensor performance. Media compatibility testing for non-air fluids or gases must be requested directly from NXP (formerly Freescale), and no validation data for alternative media is included in the MPVZ4006GW7U datasheet.
