Product details
Overview
MPX2200A from Freescale Semiconductor is an absolute-pressure silicon piezoresistive sensor in a unibody chip carrier package (Case 344B-01), delivering a ratiometric 40 mV full-scale output at 10 V supply, ±1.0% linearity over 0–200 kPa, and on-chip temperature compensation across –40°C to +125°C. It serves as a primary pressure transduction element in barometric sensing, altimetry, and sealed-system monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MPX2200A datasheet, MPX2200A pinout, MPX2200A application, or MPX2200A equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated terminal roles, real-world use cases in medical diagnostics and level detection, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The MPX2200A integrates a monolithic silicon diaphragm with laser-trimmed thin-film resistor networks for span and offset calibration. Its internal circuitry includes on-chip temperature compensation circuitry that actively corrects full-scale span and offset drift across –40°C to +125°C.
It operates ratiometrically with a 10 V nominal excitation (range: 10–16 VDC), draws 6.0 mA supply current, and exhibits 1.0 ms response time (10%–90%). Output impedance is 1400–3000 Ω, and input impedance is 1300–2500 Ω - enabling direct interface with instrumentation amplifiers or ADC front-ends without buffering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pressure Range | 0–200 kPa absolute - suitable for barometric (≈0–100 kPa) and low-range sealed-system monitoring |
| Full Scale Span | 38.5–41.5 mV at VS = 10 V - enables high-resolution 12-bit+ digitization with minimal gain |
| Linearity Error | ±1.0 %VFSS (end-point fit) - defines worst-case deviation in linear pressure-to-voltage mapping |
| Offset Voltage | –1.0 to +1.0 mV at min pressure - sets DC baseline tolerance for zero-pressure calibration |
| Supply Voltage | 10–16 VDC - supports industrial 12 V rails; ratiometric operation preserves accuracy vs. supply drift |
| Response Time | 1.0 ms (10%–90%) - adequate for slow-to-moderate dynamic pressure events (e.g., altitude change) |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - validated for automotive under-hood and industrial ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
MPX2200A uses the unibody chip carrier package Case 344B-01 (4-pin, dual-port, stainless steel cap), with port-side identification: Pressure (P1) side is the side with the attached port; Vacuum (P2) side is sealed.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | GROUND | Reference node for output and supply; must be low-impedance path to system ground |
| Pin 2 | + OUTPUT | Positive output terminal; voltage increases with applied P1 pressure relative to P2 |
| Pin 3 | + SUPPLY | Excitation input; supplies 10–16 VDC; device is ratiometric to this rail |
| Pin 4 | – OUTPUT | Differential output complement; used with Pin 2 for noise-rejecting instrumentation amp inputs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip temperature compensation | Reduces full-scale span drift to ±1.0 %VFSS and offset drift to ±1.0 mV over –40°C to +125°C |
| Laser-trimmed resistor network | Enables factory calibration of span and offset without external components or trimming potentiometers |
| Ratiometric output | Output voltage scales linearly with supply voltage - eliminates need for precision voltage references |
| Dual-port unibody construction | Supports absolute pressure measurement with isolated P1 (port) and sealed P2 (vacuum reference) sides |
| Stainless steel cap packaging | Provides mechanical robustness and media compatibility with dry air, non-corrosive gases, and inert fluids |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute pressure sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPX5700A | Wider range (0–700 kPa), higher full-scale output (50 mV), same Case 344B-01 package and pinout | Designed for higher-pressure HVAC and industrial process control; not optimized for barometric resolution | Select MPX5700A only when measuring >200 kPa absolute pressure is required; MPX2200A offers better sensitivity per kPa in low-range applications. |
| SPX2200A | Same 0–200 kPa range and 40 mV span, but uses SOIC-8 package with integrated signal conditioning and I²C output | Replaces analog output with digital interface; requires different PCB layout and firmware support | Choose SPX2200A if digital output, onboard ADC, or reduced external component count is prioritized over analog flexibility and cost. |
Compared with MPX5700A and SPX2200A, the MPX2200A provides optimal analog resolution and temperature stability specifically for 0–200 kPa absolute measurements - making it preferred for barometry, altimetry, and low-pressure diagnostics where analog simplicity and proven reliability are critical.

FAQ
What is the pressure type supported by the MPX2200A?
The MPX2200A is an absolute pressure sensor: it measures pressure relative to a sealed internal vacuum reference (P2 side). Its rated range is 0–200 kPa absolute, making it suitable for barometric and altimetric applications where ambient atmospheric pressure is the measured quantity. The MPX2200A does not support differential or gauge configurations - those require MPX2200D or MPX2200GP variants.
What is the supply voltage range and current draw for MPX2200A?
The MPX2200A operates from 10 VDC to 16 VDC, with a typical supply current of 6.0 mA at 10 V. It is ratiometric - meaning its output voltage scales linearly with supply voltage - so accuracy is preserved even with moderate supply variation. Operating above 16 VDC may induce self-heating errors and is not recommended per Freescale's maximum ratings.
Does MPX2200A require external calibration or trimming components?
No, the MPX2200A does not require external calibration or trimming components. Its on-chip thin-film resistor network is laser-trimmed at the factory for precise span and offset calibration, and includes integrated temperature compensation circuitry. This allows direct connection to an instrumentation amplifier or ADC without zero- or span-adjust potentiometers - reducing BOM count and improving long-term stability.
What is the pin configuration and package type of MPX2200A?
The MPX2200A uses the Case 344B-01 unibody chip carrier package: a 4-pin, dual-port stainless steel module with dimensions 29.08 × 17.40 × 7.75 mm. Pin 1 is GROUND, Pin 2 is +OUTPUT, Pin 3 is +SUPPLY, and Pin 4 is –OUTPUT. The pressure (P1) side is identified by the port attachment; the vacuum (P2) side is sealed under the stainless steel cap.
How does MPX2200A handle temperature variations across its operating range?
The MPX2200A incorporates on-chip temperature compensation circuitry that limits full-scale span drift to ±1.0 %VFSS and offset drift to ±1.0 mV over –40°C to +125°C. This is achieved via integrated thin-film resistors and laser-trimmed calibration coefficients. Temperature hysteresis is specified at ±0.5 %VFSS over –40°C to +125°C, ensuring repeatable performance after thermal cycling - critical for outdoor and automotive applications.
