Product details
Overview
MPX2053GP from NXP Semiconductors is a silicon piezoresistive gauge pressure sensor with monolithic diaphragm construction, delivering ratiometric voltage output proportional to applied pressure (0–50 kPa), temperature-compensated over 0 °C to 85 °C, and calibrated via laser trimming for span/offset accuracy-used in medical diagnostics and non-invasive blood pressure measurement.
For engineers reviewing the MPX2053GP datasheet, MPX2053GP pinout, MPX2053GP application, or MPX2053GP equivalent, key selection considerations include its unibody package (Case 344-15), differential/gauge pressure configuration, 40 mV full-scale span at 10 V supply, ±0.1%VFSS pressure hysteresis, and compatibility with dry clean air media.
Technical Context
The MPX2053GP integrates strain gauges and thin-film resistor networks on a single silicon diaphragm, enabling on-chip temperature compensation for both full-scale span and offset across 0 °C to 85 °C. Its ratiometric output scales linearly with supply voltage (10–16 Vdc), ensuring stable performance under varying excitation conditions.
It operates as a passive transducer requiring external excitation, with input impedance of 1–2.5 kΩ and output impedance of 1.4–3 kΩ. Response time is 1.0 ms (10%–90%), and warm-up time is ≤20 ms-critical for real-time pressure monitoring in robotics and pump/motor controllers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Pressure Range | 0–50 kPa (gauge mode); enables precise low-pressure sensing in medical and level-indicator applications |
| Full Scale Span | 38.5–41.5 mV at VS = 10 Vdc; defines analog output range for ADC interface scaling |
| Supply Voltage | 10–16 Vdc; ratiometric operation ensures output proportionality to supply, reducing reference dependency |
| Linearity Error | ±0.6% to ±0.4%VFSS (end-point method); determines worst-case deviation from ideal linear transfer function |
| Pressure Hysteresis | ±0.1%VFSS (0–50 kPa); critical for repeatable measurements in cyclic pressure-switching systems |
| Temperature Coefficient of Offset | ±1.0 mV over 0–85 °C; quantifies zero-pressure output drift due to ambient temperature variation |
| Response Time | 1.0 ms (10%–90%); supports dynamic pressure capture in motor control feedback loops |
Pinout & Package
MPX2053GP uses the Unibody Package (Case 344-15), a stainless steel-capped, gel-isolated housing designed for environmental robustness and media compatibility with dry clean air.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Reference ground for signal and supply return; must be low-impedance to minimize offset error |
| 2 | +VOUT | Positive differential output terminal; delivers voltage proportional to P1–P2 pressure difference |
| 3 | VS | Power supply input; supplies excitation current to internal bridge and sets ratiometric gain |
| 4 | –VOUT | Negative differential output terminal; completes Wheatstone bridge output path for instrumentation amplifier interface |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Laser-trimmed calibration | Ensures factory-set span and offset accuracy without external trimming components or post-assembly calibration |
| Ratiometric output | Eliminates need for precision voltage references; output scales directly with VS, simplifying analog front-end design |
| On-chip temperature compensation | Reduces thermal drift of both offset and full-scale span to ±0.5%VFSS over 0–85 °C operating range |
| Differential/gauge pressure options | MPX2053GP configured as gauge sensor (P1 vs. ambient) - P1 side identified by stainless steel cap per Case 344-15 |
| Silicone gel isolation | Protects die and wire bonds from environmental contaminants while transmitting pressure signal to diaphragm |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar gauge pressure sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPX2053D | Identical electrical specs and pinout; same Unibody Package (Case 344-15), but marked as MPX2053D instead of MPX2053GP | No functional difference; MPX2053GP and MPX2053D are identical devices with alternate orderable part numbers per NXP ordering table | Select MPX2053D if sourcing from legacy inventory or distributor stock where GP suffix is unavailable |
| MPXM2053GS | Same 0–50 kPa range and ratiometric output, but in MPAK package (Case 1320A-02); pinout matches (GND/+VOUT/VS/–VOUT), though physical footprint differs | Designed for surface-mount automation; lacks stainless steel cap, uses port-attached side for P1 identification instead of cap-based marking | Choose MPXM2053GS for high-volume SMT production where board space and assembly efficiency outweigh mechanical ruggedness requirements |
Compared with MPX2053GP, MPX2053D offers identical performance in the same package with no layout or interface changes, while MPXM2053GS provides equivalent sensing capability in a smaller, tape-and-reel compatible MPAK package-suitable for automated placement but requiring PCB footprint revision and revalidation of mechanical mounting.

FAQ
What is the pressure type and measurement range of the MPX2053GP?
The MPX2053GP is a gauge pressure sensor with an operating range of 0–50 kPa (approximately 0–7.25 PSI). It measures pressure relative to ambient atmospheric pressure, with the P1 side (identified by the stainless steel cap in Case 344-15) exposed to the measured medium and P2 vented to atmosphere. This range is optimized for low-pressure applications including non-invasive blood pressure monitoring and liquid level sensing.
Does the MPX2053GP require external calibration or trimming?
No, the MPX2053GP does not require external calibration or trimming. Each device undergoes factory laser trimming for precise span and offset calibration, along with on-chip temperature compensation for both full-scale span and offset across 0 °C to 85 °C. This ensures specified linearity (±0.6% to ±0.4%VFSS), hysteresis (±0.1%VFSS), and thermal stability without user intervention.
What are the supply voltage requirements and output characteristics of the MPX2053GP?
The MPX2053GP operates from 10 Vdc to 16 Vdc, with a typical supply current of 6.0 mAdc. Its output is ratiometric: full-scale span is 38.5–41.5 mV at 10 Vdc, scaling linearly with supply voltage. The differential output (+VOUT and –VOUT) requires an instrumentation amplifier or differential ADC input; offset is bounded within ±1.0 mV at minimum rated pressure.
Is the MPX2053GP compatible with media other than air?
The MPX2053GP is qualified and characterized for use with dry clean air as the pressure medium. NXP explicitly states that media other than dry clean air may adversely affect long-term reliability and performance. Silicone gel isolation protects the die, but chemical compatibility is not guaranteed for liquids, oils, or corrosive gases. For alternative media, consult NXP application note AN3728 and contact factory support before deployment.
How is the pressure port orientation identified on the MPX2053GP package?
On the MPX2053GP (Unibody Package, Case 344-15), the Pressure (P1) side is identified by the stainless steel cap - the side opposite the lead frame and epoxy case. This is confirmed in Table 8 of the datasheet, which specifies "Stainless Steel Cap" as the P1 identifier for MPX2053D-series devices. The vacuum (P2) side is ambient-vented through the package structure and must remain unobstructed for proper gauge operation.
