Product details
Overview
MPX2053D from NXP Semiconductors is a silicon piezoresistive gauge pressure sensor with differential output, 50 kPa full-scale range, ratiometric voltage output (40 mV typ. span at 10 V supply), and on-chip temperature compensation over 0 °C to 85 °C. It delivers high linearity (±0.6% VFSS) and low offset (±1.0 mV) for precision medical diagnostics and industrial pressure switching applications.
For engineers reviewing the MPX2053D datasheet, MPX2053D pinout, MPX2053D application, or MPX2053D equivalent, key selection considerations include its unibody stainless-steel package (Case 344-15), 4-pin differential analog output architecture, 1.0 ms response time, and compatibility with dry clean air media in gauge-pressure configurations.
Technical Context
The MPX2053D integrates a monolithic silicon diaphragm with embedded strain gauges and thin-film resistor networks, laser-trimmed for precise span/offset calibration and temperature compensation. Its ratiometric output scales linearly with supply voltage (10–16 Vdc), enabling direct interface with ADCs without external reference scaling.
It operates as a gauge pressure sensor with P1 (pressure side) identified by the stainless-steel cap and P2 (vacuum/reference side) sealed internally. Output is differential (+VOUT/–VOUT), requiring instrumentation amplifier input or matched resistor network for single-ended conversion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pressure Range | 0–50 kPa gauge - supports non-invasive blood pressure monitoring and pump control up to ~7.25 PSI. |
| Output Span | 40 mV typical at 10 V supply - provides 0.8 mV/kPa sensitivity for high-resolution analog-to-digital conversion. |
| Linearity Error | ±0.6% of full-scale span (VFSS) - enables <±0.3 kPa absolute error across full range using end-point fit method. |
| Temperature Compensation | 0 °C to 85 °C - ensures stable offset (<±1.0 mV) and span (<±2.0% VFSS) without external circuitry. |
| Response Time | 1.0 ms (10%–90%) - suitable for dynamic pressure events in robotics and motor controllers. |
| Supply Voltage | 10–16 Vdc - ratiometric operation allows direct use with industrial 12 V or 15 V rails without regulation. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - extends usable range beyond compensated zone for environmental robustness. |
Pinout & Package
MPX2053D uses the Unibody package (Case 344-15), featuring a stainless-steel cap over the silicon die and silicone gel isolation for environmental protection. The 4-pin SIP configuration supports direct PCB mounting with no exposed bond wires.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for both supply and output - must be low-impedance to minimize common-mode noise in differential measurement. |
| 2 | +VOUT | Positive output terminal - delivers voltage proportional to applied pressure relative to −VOUT; requires matched trace length when routing differentially. |
| 3 | VS | Power supply input - supplies excitation current to piezoresistive bridge; ratiometric behavior ties output scale directly to this rail. |
| 4 | −VOUT | Negative output terminal - completes differential pair; not ground-referenced - must be terminated at same impedance as +VOUT for common-mode rejection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Differential analog output | Eliminates common-mode noise in electrically noisy environments like motor controllers and medical equipment. |
| On-chip temperature compensation | Reduces need for external thermistors or digital correction algorithms in portable diagnostic devices. |
| Laser-trimmed span and offset | Enables factory-calibrated accuracy without user trimming, lowering BOM count and production test time. |
| Stainless-steel unibody package | Provides mechanical robustness and long-term stability in industrial level indicators and robotic end-effectors. |
| Ratiometric supply dependence | Allows direct connection to microcontroller ADC references, simplifying power architecture in battery-powered systems. |
Applications
| Medical Diagnostics | Robotics |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar gauge pressure sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPXV2053DP | Same core sensor die but in Small Outline Package (Case 1351); 8-pin SOIC footprint with 4 active pins and 4 NC terminals. | Requires PCB layout change due to SOIC-8 footprint and different thermal mass; less rugged than stainless-steel unibody. | Choose MPXV2053DP only if board space constraints favor surface-mount SOIC and mechanical durability is secondary. |
| MPXM2053GS | Same performance specs but in MPAK package (Case 1320A-02); includes integrated port for direct tubing attachment. | Designed for direct pneumatic interface in medical gas analyzers; lacks stainless-steel cap, relying on epoxy-sealed port instead. | Prefer MPXM2053GS when tubing integration is required and environmental sealing is managed externally. |
Compared with MPX2053D, MPXV2053DP offers surface-mount compatibility at the cost of reduced mechanical robustness, while MPXM2053GS adds a molded port for fluidic interfacing but trades off hermetic stainless-steel protection - MPX2053D remains optimal for harsh industrial or portable medical use where package integrity is critical.

FAQ
What is the pressure type supported by the MPX2053D?
The MPX2053D is a gauge pressure sensor configured for differential measurement, with P1 designated as the pressure side (identified by the stainless-steel cap) and P2 as the internal vacuum reference. It measures pressure relative to ambient atmospheric pressure and is not rated for absolute or sealed-gauge operation. This configuration is validated in the official NXP datasheet Rev. 11 for MPX2053D and applies exclusively to this unibody variant.
Does the MPX2053D require external temperature compensation?
No, the MPX2053D does not require external temperature compensation. It features on-chip temperature compensation calibrated over 0 °C to 85 °C, with specified TCOffset ≤ ±1.0 mV and TCVFSS ≤ ±2.0% VFSS. These parameters are measured and guaranteed per the NXP MPX2053 datasheet Rev. 11, eliminating the need for thermistor networks or software correction in most medical and industrial applications.
What is the maximum overpressure rating for the MPX2053D?
The MPX2053D has a maximum overpressure rating of 200 kPa (P1 > P2), as defined in Table 6 of the NXP MPX2053 datasheet Rev. 11. Exceeding this value may cause permanent damage. This 4× margin above its 50 kPa full-scale range supports reliable operation during pressure transients in pump control and robotic actuation systems.
Can the MPX2053D be used with a 5 V supply?
No, the MPX2053D is not specified for 5 V operation. Its recommended supply voltage is 10–16 Vdc (Table 7, Operating Characteristics), and operation below 10 Vdc falls outside the validated ratiometric range. Using 5 V risks insufficient bridge excitation, degraded signal-to-noise ratio, and unguaranteed linearity or temperature performance - confirmed in Note [2] of the NXP MPX2053 datasheet Rev. 11.
Is the MPX2053D compatible with fluids other than air?
The MPX2053D is characterized and qualified for use with dry clean air only. Other media - including liquids, oils, or corrosive gases - may degrade long-term reliability or alter calibration due to silicone gel interaction or diaphragm stress. NXP explicitly states this limitation in Section 9.5 and recommends contacting factory support before substituting media, as referenced in AN3728.
