Product details
Overview
MPX10GS from NXP Semiconductors is an uncompensated silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor with 10 kPa full-scale range, ratiometric voltage output (20–50 mV span at 3 V supply), and ±1.0 %VFSS linearity. It delivers linear differential or gauge pressure sensing in industrial pneumatic controls, medical diagnostics, and environmental monitoring systems requiring external temperature compensation.
For engineers reviewing the MPX10GS datasheet, MPX10GS pinout, MPX10GS application, or MPX10GS equivalent, this page provides verified pin assignments, operating characteristics across −40 °C to +125 °C, media compatibility with dry clean air, and validated alternative options for low-cost, uncalibrated pressure transduction.
Technical Context
The MPX10GS implements a patented single-element silicon shear-stress strain gauge integrated directly into the diaphragm, eliminating thermal expansion mismatch errors common in bonded-gauge sensors. Its ratiometric output scales linearly with supply voltage (3.0–6.0 VDC), enabling direct interface with ADCs without independent reference.
It operates as a four-terminal Wheatstone bridge with differential output (+VOUT/–VOUT), ground (GND), and excitation (VS) pins. Input impedance is 400–550 Ω; output impedance is 750–1250 Ω; response time is 1.0 ms (10%–90%). No internal signal conditioning or temperature compensation circuitry is included.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Full-scale pressure | 0–10 kPa (1.45 PSI); defines usable pressure range before nonlinearity exceeds ±1.0 %VFSS |
| Supply voltage | 3.0–6.0 VDC; output scales ratiometrically-no separate voltage reference needed |
| Full-scale span | 20–50 mV at VS = 3.0 VDC; determines minimum ADC resolution required (e.g., 12-bit for ~12 mV LSB) |
| Linearity error | ±1.0 %VFSS (end-point method); sets worst-case deviation from ideal Vout = Voff + Sensitivity × P |
| Operating temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C; offset drift ±15 μV/°C and TCVFSS −0.22 to −0.16 %VFSS/°C require external compensation |
| Response time | 1.0 ms (10%–90%); supports dynamic pressure monitoring in robotics and leak detection |
| Burst pressure | 100 kPa; mechanical safety margin beyond rated 10 kPa range |
Pinout & Package
MPX10GS uses the SOT1753-1 (Case 344-15) unibody epoxy package - a compact, surface-mount 4-pin SOIC-style outline with stainless steel cap on the pressure (P1) side. The package is rated for dry clean air media only and requires external temperature compensation circuitry.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for bridge excitation and output measurement; must be low-impedance to minimize noise coupling |
| +VOUT | Positive bridge output | Differential output terminal; voltage increases with applied pressure on P1 side relative to P2 |
| VS | Bridge excitation supply | Provides bias current to piezoresistive elements; output scales linearly with this voltage (ratiometric) |
| –VOUT | Negative bridge output | Completes differential output pair; enables rejection of common-mode noise in instrumentation amplifiers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Patented silicon shear-stress strain gauge | Eliminates thermal expansion mismatch between gauge and diaphragm-enables predictable TC behavior for external compensation |
| Ratiometric output | Output voltage scales directly with VS; removes need for precision voltage reference in microcontroller-based readout circuits |
| Differential output architecture | Provides inherent common-mode noise rejection-critical for stable measurements in electrically noisy industrial environments |
| Unibody epoxy construction (Case 344-15) | Robust, hermetically sealed housing with stainless steel cap; suitable for PCB-level integration in space-constrained medical and robotics designs |
| Low power consumption | 6.0 mA typical supply current at 3 V-enables battery-powered portable diagnostic and environmental monitoring applications |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar uncompensated pressure sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPX2010DP | Includes on-chip temperature compensation and signal conditioning; 10 kPa range; same 4-pin SOT1754-1 (Case 344C-01) package | Reduces external component count but increases cost; not drop-in compatible due to different pinout and internal architecture | Select MPX2010DP when system-level calibration resources are limited and higher accuracy over temperature is required without external circuitry. |
| MPXV10GC6U | Same 10 kPa range and uncompensated design; uses SOT1854-1 (Case 482A) small-outline package with 8-pin layout (4 active, 4 NC) | Larger footprint and different mounting geometry; requires PCB redesign; identical electrical specs and media compatibility | Choose MPXV10GC6U only if legacy board layout accommodates the 8-pin SOIC variant and additional NC pins do not interfere with routing. |
Compared with MPX10GS, MPX2010DP offers integrated compensation at the cost of design flexibility and higher BOM cost, while MPXV10GC6U retains identical performance but demands mechanical rework due to incompatible 8-pin packaging.

FAQ
What is the pressure range and output type of the MPX10GS?
The MPX10GS is rated for 0–10 kPa full-scale pressure and provides a ratiometric differential analog output (20–50 mV span at 3 V supply). It outputs two complementary signals (+VOUT and –VOUT) referenced to GND and VS, requiring no internal signal conditioning. This makes MPX10GS ideal for systems where external amplification and temperature compensation are implemented per application requirements.
Does the MPX10GS include built-in temperature compensation?
No, the MPX10GS is an uncompensated sensor. Its temperature coefficient of full-scale span (TCVFSS) is −0.22 to −0.16 %VFSS/°C and offset drift is ±15 μV/°C-both require external compensation networks. Application Note AN840 details resistor-based compensation methods across −40 °C to +125 °C, and MPX10GS data confirms these parameters are consistent with its unibody silicon strain gauge architecture.
What package and pin configuration does the MPX10GS use?
The MPX10GS uses the SOT1753-1 (Case 344-15) unibody epoxy package-a 4-pin surface-mount outline with stainless steel cap on the pressure (P1) side. Pin 1 is GND, Pin 2 is +VOUT, Pin 3 is VS, and Pin 4 is –VOUT. This matches the pin definitions documented in Table 3 of the MPX10 Series datasheet Rev. 15.
Can the MPX10GS be used with media other than dry clean air?
No-the MPX10GS is qualified and characterized exclusively for use with dry clean air. Exposure to moisture, oils, solvents, or corrosive gases may degrade long-term reliability and alter calibration. NXP explicitly states that media compatibility beyond dry clean air must be confirmed with factory support, and Application Note AN3728 provides guidance for evaluating alternate media under controlled conditions.
How does the MPX10GS differ from the MPX2010 series?
The MPX10GS is uncompensated and requires external temperature compensation circuitry, whereas the MPX2010 series integrates on-chip compensation and signal conditioning. Both share the 10 kPa range, but MPX2010DP uses Case 344C-01 (SOT1754-1) and has different pin functionality and electrical behavior-making them not interchangeable without hardware and firmware changes. MPX10GS prioritizes cost and design flexibility; MPX2010DP prioritizes out-of-box accuracy.
